As promised, Thursday, I went back to the gym with trainer Britt. Honestly, mornings are my favourite time to work out, made all the better by having such an amazing workout partner and motivator! I love starting my day off with a great sweat sesh, and catching up with an amazing friend. It just sets …

Returning with a Vengeance!
Well! I went from not getting my sweat on at all, to working out on the daily! And let me tell you, it feels GREAT! As I mentioned in my last post, I went for a run with the handsome 4-legged Gambit on Monday. Yesterday, I hit the gym with Trainer Britt and did an …
Training; old legs and new
Ok, my fellow fitness freaks. I am FINALLY getting back into some semblance of a routine! Last week, I managed to hit the gym with trainer Britt! It. Felt. Wonderful!!!!! We did a new routine, so it was all fresh and interesting and challenging. It felt so great to be moving my body again, trying …
When life gets in the way
Hello my fellow fitness freaks! Sorry it’s been a while since I made a post. Sadly it’s been equally as long since I had a good sweat sesh. My husband and I adopted a new dog on Sunday (yay!) but almost immediately, my husband fell ill. So between training the new puppers (Gambit), making sure …
Running out the Anxiety and the Nike Run Club App
One of the major reasons I got into activities in the first place was my anxiety. I wanted to find somewhere to put all that nervous energy I generated. Wanted to find something to tire myself out sufficiently to get even a little sleep at night. I refer to my brain as a hamster on …

This one’s for the ladies – gentlemen, you’ve been warned
Last night was a beautiful night for a game of ultimate. Sun was shining, bit of a breeze, perfect. Couldn’t have asked for better. I got my sprints in while having fun with my friends. Ideal. But, I’d like to switch tracks for a moment and talk about something specifically for the ladies: Periods. Ugh, …

Feeling the heat
Today, it is a balmy 31 degrees celsius out, with humidity through the roof. So what do I decide to do? Cram 2 workouts into my day! Yup, I’m crazy like that. At lunch, I did that 10 move booty blaster workout I talked about previously (read that post here). My work gym is not …
Early morning grind and workout tracking
This morning was an extra early workout, but a great one nonetheless. Honestly, I cannot recommend working out with a great partner highly enough. I’m not sure I would have made it to the gym at all, especially that early (which was the only time it worked!) had I not been meeting Trainer Britt. And …
Small Victories, Big wins
Yesterday, I enjoyed a lovely and relaxing day at a cottage. I ate what I wanted (Tim Hortons breakfast followed by bacon wrapped chicken rounds and veggies cooked up on the BBQ) and drank what I wanted (coffee then vodka sodas) ALL DAY LONG. It was GLORIOUS. And I repeat? NO GUILT! Everything in moderation! …
Full body focus
I would be lying if I said I did not feel my workouts from the last two days after a week of barely any training. But to be honest? I am one of those people who just love to feel the burn and have stiff, well used muscles! It makes me feel like the workout …
