Happy 2013! – Goals for the year
It’s officially 2013. Does anyone else feel like it came really quickly?? For me, 2012 went by in a wonderful blur, culminating in a great holiday season with family and friends. Sean and I are staying with our friends Ward & Kim just outside of Edmonton and are just had post-NYE brunch. Much needed after last night’s dinner and dessert, games, Snow Olympics (for another post), and my apparently super strong cocktails. 🙂 2013 is the year…

Thankful Birthday Weekend – Part 2
It’s raining outside. Yup, it’s raining, it’s cold, and it’s officially autumn (or the less elegant sounding “fall”) in Vancouver. I sound a bit whiny about the weather because up until Tuesday, it was sunny and warm; and up until today, there was no need for a super warm coat and a pair of my Hunter boots. That being said, the cold, damp weather has made me even more thankful for the fabulous weather we had, especially…

Very inconvenient for this girl, as that meant that I couldn’t do downward facing dog without my…

Operation HAC
I’ve been seeing a naturopath the last couple of months to address scalp issues I’ve been having on and off, and also to get a different perspective on how to take care of myself. My family doctor quite literally brought me into the world and I love him, but he’s about an hour transit commute away from where we live. And the naturopath is right near our house. At my last naturopath appointment, I was told that…

And on Sunday, I rested + Healthy Protein Power Muffins
It is Day 9 of Cleanse Lite (CL) and in theory, I should be on Day 2 of three days of nothing but vegetables and maybe some white fish. But you know what? It’s Sunday (and isn’t that the day of rest? I say this with absolutely no disrespect, but if God took a break…) And the French toast I had brunch with Sean and some friends was spectacular. (The fact that Sean was at brunch on a Sunday is…

What are you, an app?
Claire and I were talking a while back about how tired we were. Part of that is because we’re all so busy and the other part is when you’re busy, even if you try to eat as healthy as possible, sometimes it’s just easier to eat quick things that at are, at the end of the day, not always the best for our bodies. For example – cheese, bread; basically: pizza. I LOVE pizza. So when Claire…
