  • Blue Monday
    January 20, 2020
    Today is the day labelled “Blue Monday”.  A day in which people say it’s the most depressing day of the year. Why? Some say it’s because of the credit card statements that show up from the holiday season and people realize how much debt they are in. Others are frustrated that they have failed their New Year’s Resolutions goals and we’re only 3 weeks into [Read More...]
  • Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
    January 5, 2020
    Back to school after the holidays means it is time to get back into a routine of making homemade snacks for school; first up Chocolate Zucchini Muffins I don’t send packaged foods to school very often. It’s something that I’ve made a priority in my family. It’s hard sometimes though, especially when you see a box of granola bars on sale for $1 with a coupon. But when you [Read More...]
  • Stop Setting New Year’s Resolutions
    December 29, 2019
    Did you know that only about 10% of people actually achieve their New Year’s Resolutions? Most people lose interest of their goals after 4 weeks, more specifically if they have weight loss goals, because they expect a drastic change within those 4 weeks.  So if they are not seeing the desired results, they will go back to their old ways and they will usually blame others for their lack [Read More...]
  • Why We Open Christmas Presents EARLY Every Year
    December 14, 2019
    Every year we open presents before Christmas! Can you believe it? No more staring at the presents under the tree. No more overload at Christmas time with all the presents and stockings and craziness. Just pure happiness and excitement from our children that they get to open a present! I do have to mention, we don’t go overboard with gifts.  They get 2 little gifts from us, and 1 [Read More...]
  • Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
    October 12, 2019
    Tis the season of everything pumpkin. Pumpkin lattes, muffins and pies. To be honest, I don’t really love pumpkin stuff, but when I came across this muffin recipe, it has been one of my favourites for a few years now! The original recipe is from https://thenovicechefblog.com/pumpkin-cream-cheese-swirl-muffins/.   I have switched the oil with unsweetened apple sauce and used [Read More...]

Postnatal fitness classes I love the conversation Postnatal fitness classes I love the conversations we have in both my prenatal and postnatal fitness classes. In the past 2 weeks, we have talked about everything from labour; delivery; prolapse; pain during sex; UTIs; attitude toddlers; stress; hormones; sleep regression; self care and self love; our intentions and goals; benefits of chiro, massage , acupuncture and physio; picky eaters ... and everything in between. I truly appreciate and love my clients for their honesty and being non judgemental when others talk. We open our ears and hearts and are there to support one another no matter what. I also love capturing real moments in my classes, unedited and not posed... because this is real life! Are you looking for a community of strong, healthy and active women where you can show up as you are, get a fantastic workout in and meet other moms or moms to be? Register for one of my classes today!
Notes to my girls at school I still write a note Notes to my girls at school I still write a note in my girl's lunch bags everyday at school ( I have missed a few days and they sure let me know when I do!) School can bring on so many emotions throughout the day and I can't be there for them every moment or day they are at school. What I can do, is write a compliment or note to them that hopefully puts a smile on their face when they need it . It's the small gestures and kind words that make a difference in our family ... even when parenting is hard ( and lately it has been challenging!)

I'm still on #kneerehab mode, but I am finally feeling stronger to go for longer walks with my girls. I don't think tobogganing is a safe thing to do 5 weeks post surgery ... but climbing up the hill and helping my girls was a great workout! It doesn't matter how we move our bodies ... just move! Injuries or not, just do something! Go for that walk or wheel; climb a mountain; go skiing; dust off those skates . You will feel so much better getting fresh air!

#kidsexerciseoftheweek Skiing Today was great da #kidsexerciseoftheweek Skiing Today was great day! It was the first time my oldest daughter tried downhill skiing @snowvalleyski . It was cold. It was something new. She was feeling nervous and anxious. But. She . Did. It! What changed her mindset? Being surrounded by people who encouraged her and cheered her on. By having supportive friends who were on the hill teaching her. By having a supportive family to give her a little extra encouragement to try something new. We do this all the time for our children. So why is it difficult as an adult to take risks and try something new? Surround yourself with those people who will cheer you on ... even in -30 degree weather! And if you don't have that person ... I'll be your person! Call me up .. I'll be there!
Professional development I usually take fitness a Professional development I usually take fitness and research courses for my personal and professional development. This year I set some new goals. I want to learn new ideas. Challenge different parts of my brain. Dig deeper into my thoughts, beliefs, desires and questions. So I signed up for The Decade Workshop. This workshop, facilitated by these lovely ladies @heartlifted and @_kathleencameron , was inspiring and challenging. 1. Inspiring: They both made me feel worthy and confident that I can achieve my big dreams and to really honour who I am. 2. Challenging: Reflecting on my past decade was hard and emotional ( oh the tears flowed today in a room full of women I didn't know ... being vulnerable is powerful @brenebrown ). I realized that I haven't given myself enough credit for everything I achieved and gone through in the past 10 years. Marriage, 2 pregnancies, 3 children, buying a house, ending a job and starting my own business, losing friends and gaining new ones, losing who I was as a single women to figuring out my identity as a mother and wife ... and a lot more! By reflecting on the past decade has allowed me to have a new perspective on this decade. Instead of focusing on all the hard, negative and tough moments;I am focusing on my strength, my visions and my heart. When we change our vocabulary, we will change our life story. So here's to a new decade filled with love, happiness and wisdom.
Planks I have loved and always will love planks. Planks I have loved and always will love planks. Different varieties and different level of intensities to challenge not only your core, but your entire body. I usually end my workouts with a plank hold to challenge your already fatigued muscles ... so you need to work double time and really focus on your breathing while you are holding that position. My #fitcampforwomen rocked the flip a card workout this week and probably enjoyed this exercise compared to the others!😂
We have 365 days to write a new chapter in our boo We have 365 days to write a new chapter in our book of life. It is time to stop writing the same story. Stop making the same excuses. Stop making promises you are not going to keep. Set your intentions and follow through. This is YOUR year. Time for change!
Kids Momentum and Motivation Tonight's class was Kids Momentum and Motivation Tonight's class was one of my favourites. We talked about friendship. Qualities and characteristics in a friend. What draws them to a friend. How they should treat others and how they wanted to be treated. When I got them to do tree pose on their own vs together in a group ... one girl quickly spoke up and said we are stronger when we're together. Yes my dear ... yes we are. Whether you have 1 friend or many ... I hope they treat you kindly and with love. Because you deserve it!
Switching up your exercise routine Did you know . Switching up your exercise routine Did you know ... being a client of mine, you will receive a FREE home workout to do on the days you aren't in class! Just extra motivation to keep you moving all week long! This month is one of my favourites ... Deck of Cards workout. Pick 4 exercises to do. Choose the amount of reps for each exercise. Flip a card and do the corresponding exercise! This takes the mind game out of what to do for a workout and is super challenging! Need some workout inspiration or want a home workout? Join one of my prenatal, postnatal for Fitcamp for Women!
I've starting our night time routine again with my I've starting our night time routine again with my girls where we practice gratitude by saying things that we are thankful for in our lives, do some mindful movements and finish by taking a moment to ourselves and focus on our breathing. Tonight was truly awesome. Our twins went upstairs after, got ready for bed without fighting, we read books and in 15 minutes they were sleeping. My oldest was already in bed (she's been fighting a cold all week) Calming children's minds before bed truly helps them sleep better, so they are refreshed and happier in the mornings! Not sure how to teach your children to be calm or relax? I can teach them in my Kids Momentum and Motivation class. Mondays and Tuesdays starting again in February! What night time routine you have with your children?
Time should never be an excuse. This is the #1 ba Time should never be an excuse. This is the #1 barrier my clients tell me as to why they are not working out. The old perception that you need to workout 1 to 2 hours in a gym is unrealistic ... unless you're training for something specific. So how to overcome the time barrier? 1. Schedule your workout in like you would a doctor's appt or massage. 2. Set an alarm on your phone to remind you to get moving. 3. Wake up a half hour earlier before you go to work; workout at lunch time; stop at the gym on the way home; go to a fitness class after the kids go to bed. Do what works for you! 4. Not motivated to workout at home? Join a supportive and motivating fitness class (🙋‍♀️) I teach prenatal, postnatal and Fitcamp for Women in my private studio where you really feel part of a community and will be motivated, challenged and inspired by the other women in the class. 5. Involve your family and kids to workout with you! Be that positive role model for your children! Did you know that my postnatal classes are kid friendly? Bring them along and stop paying for childcare when you work out!! 💙Want to try one of my classes for free?? Message me today!💙
