I’m married, now what?
Tracking my progress as I count down to my goal
My wedding is only a few weeks away. All my work leading up to the big day will hopefully pay off. I will admit, it is such a struggle to keep up with the workouts. Lots of little tasks come up for the wedding that need to be done and often can not be pushed [...]

Do you think about calories when you eat out?
In the last few months, I’ve become more aware of restaurants providing access to nutritional information. Stacey and I have been eating out and doing reviews of places we’ve eaten based on how healthy you can eat at the restaurant. Our first review was of Cactus Club, a chain restaurant in BC and Alberta. It [...]
Did you see that hit go to the outfield? Yeah, me either.
This week’s softball game was one for my personal history books. It was a really good night for me because I hit into the outfield, or so I’m told. I get very nervous when I step up to bat and I concentrate so hard on hitting the ball and then preparing myself to run as [...]

My first dress fitting and I’m speechless!
Today, I went to my first wedding dress fitting. I showed up to my appointment for the dress fitting and put the dress on and it was way too big!
I found the dress in the winter (December or January, I think) it was a pretty good size. I fit in it very well and there were [...]
Sitting on the toilet is hard on the quads
I shared a workout session with Stacey this week. Our trainer, Devin, worked us hard. He focused on Stacey’s legs and I had a full body workout. I was so happy to have previously scheduled this session because I was having a tough day and it would have been SO EASY to go home right [...]
