Farmers Market

July 27, 2010

One of my favourite weekend rituals is the Farmers Market.

Kamloops - being so close to the Okanagan (hello fresh fruit) - has an amazing Farmers Market. I only went once last summer but this summer I’ve gone almost every weekend so far!
Saturday my fridge was looking kind of sparse so I really stocked up, this [...]

Food ain’t cheap

July 8, 2010

I knew I was going grocery-shopping after work yesterday. I’d just returned home after being out of town for 6-days and my fridge was actually empty.

Ya, I had two bottles of wine in my fridge and no food. It’s all good.
Anyways, as you all probably know, I really like to try and buy organic/home-grown food, [...]

Follow-up: Eating Animals

June 30, 2010

The most-read post on my blog right now, by far, is the one I wrote a few weeks ago entitled How a book changed the way I eat.
In this post I do a review of the book ‘Eating Animals’ and explain that since reading this book I have no appetite for meat anymore.
Today I want [...]

Fitting in Fitness (1)

June 17, 2010

Since I know that fitting in all of my training and workouts is going to be a challenge this summer, I’ve decided to start a new little mini-series called ‘Fitting in Fitness’ in which I will tell you about creative ways I fit in my workouts even when I was busy or didn’t want to.
Fitting [...]

A Crime has been Committed

June 9, 2010

The Crime: I have gained 12 pounds in the last two and a half months.
The Evidence:
Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Exhibit C

Exhibit D

The Sentence:

Running or some form of exercise six days per week.
Veggies, veggies and more veggies.
After finishing off the bottle of wine in the fridge, no more wine… OK, less wine. Like 1-2 glasses per week.

In all [...]

How a book changed the way I eat

June 2, 2010

Disclaimer: This post contains graphic/disturbing information and images.

Over the past couple of weeks I read Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. It took me longer than a normal book to read because it was a lot to process. I would often read a paragraph several times or have to literally sit back and process [...]

Friday Five

May 28, 2010

One.
After basically not eating, or eating very little, for three days my appetite returned in full force last night. I was devouring everything within sight. Chocolate? Check. Dill pickle chips? Check. Vegetarian Chili? Check. The last of our Tzatiki and pita bread? Check. All of that within a two-hour time period? Check!
Two.
Remember how I [...]

Cutting Calories

April 7, 2010

I had this huge post ready to go today that was a follow-up of my Living Healthy post last week. I wanted to rant about how even though I said this:
“I don’t knock calorie counting at all, in fact, I think it’s the BEST way to lose weight. When it comes down to losing weight it’s [...]

What weekends are for…

March 9, 2010

During my first year of college the weekends were for sleep, Eric and I would often sleep in until at least noon if not 1:00 PM. Now, when I sleep in until 9:00 AM I can’t help but think I’ve wasted my day!
Weekends are for getting things done and for kick-ass workouts.
On Saturday I woke [...]

Ode to Peanut Butter

February 10, 2010

One thing I literally need in my house at all times is peanut butter.
Seriously, I eat it with everything. Everything.
Smoothies, oatmeal, apples, bananas, toast, ice cream, straight out of the jar… the list goes on.
So, when I ran out of peanut butter on Saturday, I was kind of at a loss. Looking back, I don’t [...]
