For a long time, I’ve known something hasn’t been right. Not serious illness kind of wrong, but not oh-happy-self-I’m-so-healthy kind of right either. My energy has been low, I have a really hard time getting up in the morning, and I’ve had a constant congestion in my  sinuses and runny eyes.

This is the year to stop accepting the feeling that something isn’t right. (more…)

Here is a great healthy spinach recipe, courtesy of Sabrina Thieme, a fellow Certified Educator Trainer in Red Deer. Gluten free and dairy free! Thanks Sabrina! I’ll be trying this!!

I love eggs, and would have them most days for breakfast if I had time (note to self – must get out of bed earlier to have eggs!).

I’ve never really put veggies in eggs, but have been experimenting with adding different combinations. It’s a great way to add some flavour and oomph to eggs, plus get in veggies for breakfast.

Here’s this morning’s combo…. (more…)

Bootcamp finished this week, and I can’t believe how quickly 5 weeks goes by! I had an amazing time and learned a ton. I’m really sorry to have it end!

It took a couple of weeks, but I’m starting to really feel great and get my energy levels up. I have a few things to work on, but I can see improvement. I’m really enjoying the workouts too – this is the first time I’ve really concentrated on strength training, and I can definitely feel a difference.

Just because the weekly classes have come to an end, doesn’t mean my commitment will. In the past, I’ve kept up the healthy eating for a month or so, and have slowly gone back to bad habits.

Not this time. (more…)

I don’t eat a lot of beans, but thought I would try to find something a delicious and easy way to eat them. So I’ve played around with black bean dips, and this is my favourite.

One can of organic back beans, rinsed (more…)

I made this on Saturday night, and what a treat! Tastes like chicken fingers – and all gluten free!

It’s really easy to make, and trust me, you’ll enjoy it!

I got this recipe from marksdailyapple.com, and you can find the original recipe here. (more…)

Thursday’s are a busy night. We have the boot camp, so I have to leave work early (ok, on time), and fight through traffic to get there. I do a training session afterwards, so it’s almost 8:30 when I get home, then walk the dogs. THEN, it’s time for dinner.

Tonight we learned that we need to finish eating 3 hours before bed. Well, I have to admit that tonight, it just didn’t happen that way. Yep, I ate at 9:30 tonight (hangs head…).

But, I have to admit that it was a delicious dinner, so I wanted to share. (more…)
