I just have the work-out bug lately. I keep meaning to take a morning off, but yesterday and today when I woke up I just felt like being active. No complaints here – better than the reverse I suppose! Today I headed to the gym for my work-out. Even though the weather wasn’t bad, I [...]

Monday! The rest of my weekend was nice and productive. I had tons of energy in the afternoon and put it to good use getting all my cleaning done. We keep our house in pretty good shape but it’s old so the dusting seems never-ending! It was certainly nice to have things nice and clean [...]

I started with Whole Food’s 365 pancake mix and added 1/4 cup of pumpkin and a tbsp. of flax. After cooking, I topped my cakes with a tbsp. [...]

Last night’s [...]

(Thursday’s post!) What a wet, wet horrible day. A while ago I got totally burned out on the gym, from spending way too much time there and ended up quitting all together. (This is why everything in moderation is key!). Instead I’ve been doing lots of outdoor runs which I feel is a totally suitable [...]

Happy Wednesday readers! Is it just me or does the cold weather we’ve been getting make everyone feel extra lazy?? I worked early today and was sooo lazy I didn’t even get out of bed in time to shower! Eww. Normally that would be totally justifiable, because I’d have plans to work-out once I got [...]

  In University, one of my roommates/very best friends ate the same thing for dinner most every night – pasta with tomato sauce and frozen veggies. I think she did it for a few reasons, mainly that the ingredients were cheap, easy and non-perishable. I also think she kinda just liked it :O). This January Amber moved [...]

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!! During my Canadian college years I was lucky to get two Thanksgivings every year, so today I am missing that time an extra lot! Instead, today is just a normal old work day for me. But at least it’s nice and quiet with lots of people off for Columbus Day :O). I [...]
