CROSSFIT WORKOUT AND THE NEW NANO 7
Hello dear readers! As my spring break winds down, there’s a unique sense of contentment in the air. It’s like finally completing a jigsaw puzzle — every piece in its right place. My heart brims with positivity. And adding to that high, I’ve ditched my bed-laptop work routine for a brand new desk from Crate…
Coffee date – January 2017
Hello again, dear readers! Welcome back to our monthly coffee chat where I spill the beans (pun intended) on all things me, last month. A big shout-out to Jess for lighting the spark for this series. Let’s dive in, shall we? Sipping on: The bubbles from my Sparkling water! My new Healthy Hydration Kit graced…
COFFEE DATE – NOVEMBER 2016
Taking a leaf out of Jess’s book (met her on Sunday after our reunion post-Seawheeze!) and bringing you all a “Coffee Date” post. Let’s delve into my world as we sip on our favourite beverages – for me, a morning Diet Dr. Pepper. Yes, I’m still on the diet soda train! What I’m Sipping: Other…
FOOD STRUGGLES
Blogging in the “healthy living” sphere sometimes feels like walking on a tightrope, trying to present a perfect version of oneself. But authenticity matters. After all, this space is mine, and it should be a reflection of my genuine self, flaws and all. Criticism is inevitable, no matter the topic. The key is to be…
NEVER SAY NEVER (MY NEXT BIG ADVENTURE!)
I’ve always admired my friends who take on ultra-marathons. To be honest, I used to believe they were a tad eccentric for attempting such feats. I mean, remember when I paced Emily during the last stretch of her 100-mile race? (Relive my not-so-stellar pacing adventure here). We spent nearly 6 hours navigating uphill terrains, dusty…
FRIDAY FIVE!
Despite the relentless rain this morning, today is shaping up to be spectacular! I wrap up work early at 1:30 PM (a sweet deal, right?), have plans to savor some vegan Indian cuisine tonight, and the best part – it’s FRIDAY! As always, I’m joining Jen for our Friday Five feature. Here’s what’s topping my…
ALMOST GO TIME // FRIDAY FIVE
Just two days away from the marathon, and, if it’s possible, my adrenaline levels are surging even higher. This week, I’ve officially become a condo owner (exciting!), but the thoughts of home improvement – like the new floors and paint jobs – are on pause until after the race. Let’s tackle one mountain at a…
GETTING RACE READY – NIKE WOMEN’S 15K
As the Nike 15K drew closer, I found myself on the brink of opting out. With the race unfolding on Toronto Island, the early-bird Wave #1 ferry schedule, paired with the distance from my uptown location to the downtown ferry dock, painted a rather exhausting day ahead. The looming marathon of waking up at 4…
WHAT ARE YOU SWEATING FOR?
Happy Friday, Athletarian community! Toronto’s weather has been an absolute dream lately, filling me with a newfound zest for life. Isn’t it amazing what a bit of sunshine and vitamin D can do for our spirits? On that bright note, I’m thrilled to announce our collaboration with Sport Chek on their inspiring #SweatForThis campaign! Having…
THINGS THAT MAKE TODAY GREAT
Happy Friday! I have no complaints about today so far. None. Well maybe that I hit snooze a few too many times and was only able to fit in 3.1 miles before work. I was hoping for 6-7 but 3.1 is better than none, right? Refuelled with my banana mocha “ice cream” (frozen banana +…
