I Spend 4 Hours a Month Lifting Weights
It’s true. I looked through my Garmin data and I spend slightly less than 4 hours on average in the gym lifting weights. Of course, this is not to say I’m not otherwise active. And lifting weights alone does not make one “fit.” I walk, hike, bike, play with my dogs. I like to beContinue reading “I Spend 4 Hours a Month Lifting Weights”
Fitness as a Passion and a Study
I have never been someone anyone would have viewed as having any athletic ability. At all. I remember a stand off with a teacher in grade three, she was upset with me that during gym she had everyone running the soccer field and I was walking. She said I had to run. I told herContinue reading “Fitness as a Passion and a Study”

40 Days on Keto
I’ve always been someone who “starts today.” I don’t wait for tomorrow morning, Monday or New Year’s Day to implement a course correction. I do it the moment it becomes evident to me. My mom says I was even like this as a little girl (and fun fact, my husband says this quality is “hot”Continue reading “40 Days on Keto”
Texas Trip
Had a great trip home to Texas with my husband and all the beagles. Put together a fun video of our time together!
