I’m now 14 weeks pregnant, feeling a bit more like myself and gradually starting to get my energy back. It is the perfect time to get hit with a sinus infection. Yep, down and out again but that’s ok because over the years, I’ve learned that it’s very important to listen to your body and… Continue Reading

Never too young to lead by example.
In what has become a very health minded world (or at least the world I hang out in), I spend a lot of time reading up on different ways to get Fit Boy involved in making healthy choices, playing sports over video games and appreciating the gift of a healthy body. Granted, he is only… Continue Reading
The post where I rant about Food Prices
The other day, I was lamenting to my friend Janice, the Fitness Cheerleader and fellow Canuck about gas prices and food prices and how ridiculous they are. For my family of 3, we spend on average $600-$800 per month on food. This may not seem to bad with 3 mouths to feed but when you… Continue Reading
Motivation Monday: Run, Fit Mom, Run
This weekend was epic for so many reasons: Firstly, the end of April means taxes are due but don’t worry, Mr. Tax-dude was kind to me this year so I filed early to get my refund tout suite. Then there was the massive and never ending rainstorm that hit us all day Saturday. As we’re… Continue Reading
Calling all Cooks
I’m not a horrible cook. Really, I’m not. Sure there have been some mishaps involving some burning, a few forgotten ingredients and smoke but overall, I’d say I’m fairly compentent in the kitchen (not to mention I’ve got mad chopping skillz a la Rachel Ray…BOOM!). What I do lack, is creativity. I can’t look at… Continue Reading

Surviving the Dining Experience
So you’ve decided to lose a few pounds, change some your eating habits and dust off the treadmill that’s been doubling as a clothes hanger since about 3 days after you assembled it. Great! Say good-bye to your social life because everyone knows that when you live healthy you have zero options for restaurants to… Continue Reading
Is your Scale your Best Frenemy?
How often do you step onto that scale? Once a day? Once a week? Every time you walk past it? Does it consume your thoughts? Do you have a ritual that you follow just before you step on? Do you get anxious when you think about your next weigh in? A lot of stock is… Continue Reading
Motivation Monday: Dealing with the Unexpected
This week saw my beautiful little boy celebrate his first birthday. I can honestly say after a full weekend of family, friends, cooking and cleaning, I don’t know how anyone does this every year for multiple kids! I’m still recovering. Wow. But it was a fantastic weekend and aside from some overstimulation issues, my little… Continue Reading
Dress your Body, not your Size
With a show of hands, how many of you are more willing to shop in a store where you fit a smaller size? Anyone? Yeah…I thought so. Hands up people, we’ve all done it. If we didn’t, then stores wouldn’t purposely be changing their sizes to make you feel as though you’re smaller than you… Continue Reading
