Happy hump day y’all! Actually it’s quite late on Tuesday as I type this (gasp! This is a scheduled post!), but I’m happy that it’s almost Wednesday. Why? Because I’ve decided it is time to take Wednesday back. Where did it go you ask? Well I’m not sure it went anywhere, but so far this […]
Your Workout Is In YOUR Hands
I thought I’d take a few minutes today to talk about something that drives me a bit bonkers from time to time and that is taking responsibility for your workout. I think I’ve written about this before, but it is worth writing about again. When you go to a fitness class there is the expectation […]

Volume 56
It’s always a double post day when new tunes arrive in my mailbox! 😀 Because a few other people have noticed – I don’t get the upgraded/enhanced ZIN released with the warm-up and cool downs. I didn’t think it was worth the extra $$ (especially since I’m in Canada where the exchange rate is crap […]
Sickie + Dance Fitness Video For You
Well, I’m a big old sickie today. I don’t know if it’s my IBS, or a bug but I am most certainly not feeling good. The bad news for me is I can’t afford to cancel my classes today so I have to keep plugging away. Working when you don’t feel well is bad enough, […]

One of my favourite snacks to make on the weekends are Peanut Butter Snack Bites made using Kraft All Natural Smooth Peanut Butter. They give you […]

3 Tips to Overcome (mental) Burn Out
Heeeeeey! I gotta say, since the sun has decided to come out a few times this week I’m feeling a whole lot less cranky. Man this has been a rough winter for us in Nova Scotia. I’ve droned on and on about it here and in my email newsletters (sorry!) but all of Nova Scotia […]
IBS: An Unwelcome Visitor
The past month or so I’ve noticed that foods that haven’t bothered me in well over a year are starting to once again bother me. I’m noticing more and more days where I end up with a bloated belly, uncomfortable abdominal pains, and digestive upset. It would appear that my IBS which has been leaving me alone […]
5 Weeks Out – I Finally Ran Outside
Hurrah! Sunday afternoon I was able to go get my long run in OUTSIDE without the fear of falling on ice, or freezing my lungs off. Though the thought of actually running 7 miles was a little worrisome. But off I went. My Polar needs a new battery so I was running without knowing my […]
