It’s been awhile since I posted an update, although I check in more on my Instagram page (follow me if you want). I’m six weeks out from my marathon and let me tell you, this is not a hobby I plan to take up regularly. This is so much harder than I could have ever anticipated, but luckily because I…
Regular physical activity is essential for keeping your weight in check and preventing various health issues. However, various fitness myths can easily keep you away from the gym, or even worse preventing you from making any progress in your weight loss mission. Therefore, if you’re not noticing any positive results anymore, the workout plateau has most likely begun. Luckily, with…
Pre-workout has been helping me a lot during my long run days and I had a good laugh when I received new pre-workout called Unicorn Juice from Alpha Lion. Let’s take a peek into what came in the mail this month! Two packs of Bada Bean Bada Boom protein snacks. I haven’t tried them yet, they’ll be perfect lightweight trail…
I haven’t posted a Friday Fitness recap in several weeks because my workouts have been the same (running four times a week) and how many pictures of the treadmill screen or my feet do you need, right? I’m currently doing shorter runs on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and a long run on Saturday. I’ve been doing them on a treadmill…
Well, our mild winter is almost over! It was nice while it lasted and cold and snow is part of Canadian living, so I say bring it on! That said, I made sure to take advantage of the nice weather and I braved wind to get outside on my runs and enjoy the mild weather. I’m still in the easy…
I totally forgot to post last Friday! It’s been a hectic January as I got back into a working groove and began running training. Not to mention, Tynan is getting so interactive and so demanding every day! I’ll recap my last two weeks to play catch up. Remember my post on how consistency is the only way to see results?…
That wasn’t a mispelling in my title, it was a pun. January’s BuffBoxx had several great items for my next triathlon. Get it? TRI-althon. I amuse myself. Anyway, it’s gotten to the point where I haunt the post office around Buffboxx delivery time. My days of spending money on myself are over (hello momlife) so it’s awesome to get this…
My brother Bruce and I did something a little crazy for New Years- we signed up for the Rock n’ Roll Seattle marathon in June. I have always said I had no desire to run a marathon, but when Bruce called to see if I wanted to tackle this with him, I couldn’t say no. There’s nothing better than tackling…
I was randomly going through all my early baby pictures and then scrolled through my pregnancy photos and do you know what I noticed? My booty was tighter and more toned when I was 8 months pregnant than it is now! How did that happen?! Well, I know how it happened. Six weeks of recovery time doing nothing followed by…
As a winter person, I always layer up, so getting a great long sleeve undershirt in my December BuffBoxx was awesome this month! Let’s take a look at everything I received. Met-Rx pre workout– fruit punch flavour RevaBlend Twisting Blender Bottle free2b chocolate cups- the sunflower butter ones were bomb! They are gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and soy-free! Tiger Balm Active…
I have another gift guide for ya, this time sharing gifts for the runner in your life! I like my gifts to be items people can use right away, so these can all be used indoors or for winter running. And because I loved the last Christmas GIF from Community, here is another one. Seriously, go watch the Glee episode…
I stopped running when I was about 28 weeks postpartum because of icy conditions. I remember having dreams of running along my local trail, legs and lungs burning. When I was finally cleared to run again six week after having TyTy I was so excited to get back into a routine. And then I realized I was starting all over…
Buffboxx calling! This month the highlight was my Grenade shaped shaker. I don’t lift enough to walk around the gym with . my pre-workout in it and I also don’t know if it’s appropriate for school, but I’ll be the coolest mama out and about town with it! Ha ha! Grenade Shaker bottle Grenade Thermo Detonator – thermogenic fat burner Kind…
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Fit4Less. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s been more than six months since I had my baby and I’m still carrying an extra 16 pounds. With my background in kinesiology, athletics and fitness, I can tell you exactly why I’m not seeing results: CONSISTENCY! I think a lot of…
I sure love going out with my friends. When you’re older and a mom with family responsibilities, it’s difficult to coordinate busy schedules to work out a get together. But coordinate I did, and on Friday night, ten of us hit Core Elements for a private aerial yoga session with Kendall. I like to coordinate nights that have a fund…
It may be getting too chilly to run outside in shorts, but that’s what the gym is for! I need to rock my new vintage looking shorts I received in my October Buffboxx. This month’s box had a few large items, so let’s dive in! Thrive Market Sunflower Butter– I have been hearing good things about Thrive Market! Unfortunately, they…
I love fall! I love the cool, crisp air, the beautiful leaves. I also love how there are less people out; although come on people- get outside and enjoy! But lately I’ve been struggling with yet another life transition- working mommy. I’ve been subbing 3-4 times a week and have been making excuses to not workout on days I teach.…
During the last couple weeks I have been busy teaching like crazy and I’m noticing a major drop in my workouts. When I get home, I like to go on an easy walk with the baby and then play on the living room floor. I’m starting to think that if I want to get back onto a consistent running schedule,…
You know it’s fall when your Buffboxx comes with a long sleeve t-shirt instead of a tank or shorts. I was really happy with my box this month because teal is my colour! Okay, let’s review what came in this September. LSTN Crescent wireless earbuds Cytomax hydration drink– I keep forgetting to try this after a long run! Bhu Keto…
It’s funny, when I was recovering from my C-section and only allowed to go for walks, I was so bored and so anxious to get running. Five months later, I’m back at work as well as taking care of the baby, and I find walks with him to be a relaxing time for the two of us to bond and…
