Just a little excited over here! 💃 . I’m down 4.5lbs in the last week from those 6 I went up while I was away. I figured I’d drop a large chunk at first because, man, was I bloated and swollen. Wouldn’t you love to lose almost 5lbs just like that? I didn’t cut out any of my food groups. I ate my carbs, my cheese, and even had some sweet samples at the Christmas market and TWO hot chocolates! ☕️ . I’ve started a new kickass workout program and l got back to my running, but those things are normal in my life. The thing I focused more on was my nutrition. I was VERY mindful of the treats I picked and reminded myself of my goals. I actually just wasn’t craving all the junk food anymore because I was eating my macros when my body needed them. Scientists and fitness experts put together a very detailed plan so all I have to do is fill my fancy colour coordinated container with my favourite items and EAT when they’ve suggested it! 😋 . I know this next week won’t be such a large drop and that’s totally normal and, from what I’ve learned, healthy. My goal is 2lbs at a time. 🌟 . I’m ready to keep eating mindfully, staying active and showing up for myself every day!!! When are YOU going to join me? You can’t beat this feeling. 💕 . . #cantstopwontstop #cantfightthisfeeling #weightlossgoals #stayfocused #dance #confidence #findyourjoy #hustle #noregrets #oneday #dayone #roadrunning #trailrunning #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runningmotivation #runnerslife #running #dailycalm #yoga #yogamakesmehappy #fitness #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #goals #adventure #getoutsideyourcomfortzone #findyourgreatness #agoalwithoutanactionplanisadaydream #goconquer . https://www.instagram.com/p/B5UC7K2lPtX/?igshid=13os45b9iw9yo

I got to sport my new @getvizy vest tonight! 🌈 . I did not get hit by any vehicles, so it was a success 😂 . In other news, it was a lung busting run tonight. Not running for now 3.5 weeks sure can knock you back a few pegs. I expected to struggle, which I did, but it’s wasn’t all that bad. Since I was still able to workout during my running hiatus it was much more pleasant than I thought it would be. 👍 . Plus, running with @runtobeercv sure does ease the pain. I was greeted with open arms and high-fives! 🤗 . And just like that, I’m back in the game. Can’t wait for my next run. 🏃‍♀️ . . #runlove #onelove #runvi #getvizy #mypeople #confidence #findyourjoy #hustle #noregrets #oneday #dayone #roadrunning #trailrunning #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runningmotivation #runnerslife #running #dailycalm #yoga #yogamakesmehappy #fitness #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #goals #adventure #getoutsideyourcomfortzone #findyourgreatness #agoalwithoutanactionplanisadaydream #goconquer https://www.instagram.com/p/B5E7w6ql6KJ/?igshid=e8ssl2t4k5nx

Welp, I’m home and 6lbs heavier than when I left. Yup, you heard me. It’s actually not as much as I was expecting, but I’m not thrilled. I knew it was happening and didn’t do much to control myself. 🤷‍♀️ . I ate chocolates throughout the day, Beer and wine almost daily, popcorn and/or ice cream at 9pm and didn’t run at all. 🙀 . I passed on running and soaked up all the time with my family. Also, a big snow storm and drastic drop in temperatures made it hard to get out the door. I didn’t pack for running in that weather at all!...those are my excuses and I’m sticking to ‘em! 🏃‍♀️ . Thank goodness I could still get my workouts in. I had pushed the last couple weeks leading up to my trip pretty hard so I planned a full week of recovery with yoga. Then I got back into the weights for the last 2 weeks. It was great, but man am I ready to kick it back into high gear!!!!! 🤘 . Yesterday, I jumped on the scale...well, slowly stepped on with my eyes closed and slowly cracked one open to see the final result 😂 Then I recorded my measurements and wrote out my goals. For the next 6 weeks I am recommitting myself to my goals and reigniting my passion for fitness and running. 💪 . You WILL see results from me. I’m ready for this!!! Do you want to get results too? Because you’ll have to do the work. I can set you up with the nutritional tools and have you pressing play on some killer workouts. All you have to do is show up for yourself. Want more info? Want to hit the holidays feeling healthy, strong and confident? I know I do. I know I WILL!

Last night alllll laughs!! 😂 . I literally had tears. My cheeks and abs are sore this morning and my heart is full. ❤️ . I have so many great friends in my life and these are two of them. It’s never anything short than epic when we get to hang out with them. Their energy is infectious and their happiness just oozes off of them!💥 . They were my first friends when I moved to the other side of the country and were meant to come into my life. They’ve since had to leave, but they can get rid of us that easily. 🤪 . . #youcanrunbutyoucanthide #mytribe #epicnights #laughsohardyoucry #musictrivia #confidence #findyourjoy #hustle #noregrets #oneday #dayone #roadrunning #trailrunning #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runningmotivation #runnerslife #running #dailycalm #yoga #yogamakesmehappy #fitness #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #goals #adventure #getoutsideyourcomfortzone #findyourgreatness #agoalwithoutanactionplanisadaydream #goconquer https://www.instagram.com/p/B4sNZBZlKcg/?igshid=130ttz89gu8j9

VIP treatment all weekend! ⭐️ . We started our booze tour off strong with gin and my first taste of absinthe. Then made our way into beer, whiskey and wine. All the best of the best thanks to the VIPers @mike_grieve_72 and @valene82. 🍷 .

How often do you sit back and realize how lucky you are? Well, that’s me right NOW!!!!! 🍀 . I’d like to take credit for the people I’ve chosen to surround myself with, but they say you can’t pick your family and they’re right. Thank goodness I got these guys!!! 💕 . They love and spoil me. They support me in every dream, even when it’s a questionable one they’re there to bring me back to reality (Pisces problems) with thoughtful questions and insight. In the end they let me fly, cheering me along the way, but are there to catch me if I fall. 🐥 . Ummm...they also gave me a room in their new house so I’m going to have to come back for more visits. Not that that was ever a question. 🏡 . I can’t wait to spend the next couple weeks soaking up allllll the family time!!!! 💃 . . #familytime #biggestsupporters #lucky #legitrunfam #dreambigger #piscesproblems #findyourjoy #hustle #noregrets #oneday #dayone #roadrunning #trailrunning #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runningmotivation #runnerslife #running #dailycalm #yoga #yogamakesmehappy #fitness #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #goals #adventure #getoutsideyourcomfortzone #findyourgreatness #agoalwithoutanactionplanisadaydream #goconquer https://www.instagram.com/p/B4OZS3bFqMP/?igshid=1i96v2tu80hxw

That’s a wrap on my latest workout program. 💯 . I’m proud that I stuck it out on the days when I didn’t feel like it. I’m proud I kept up my running while pushing my strength training, often doing both in the same day. I’m proud that I modified when I felt necessary and pushed it when I felt great. 🤸‍♀️ . Every program I complete teaches more and more about myself. I can’t wait for the next one...and I don’t have to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥳 . Because I have access to hundreds of programs at the push of a button I get to pick which ever one I want to do next. I’ll be starting fresh on Monday after a travel day and a family day. And honestly these poor muscles can use the recovery time this weekend. 💪 . Want to join me starting next week? Comment below with your favourite emoji or send me a message. I want to do this with you. Don’t leave me hangin’ 🐒 . If not now, when?

There’s one thing I know and that’s that I can make a CHOICE to start each morning off with a POSITIVE attitude. Go ahead and roll your eyes if you want BUT waking up like a grumpy bum is not going to help anything! So why bother? 🤷🏼‍♀️ . Mornings had always been tough for me. I used to wake up at the VERY last minute before work and then rushed all day. How you start your morning is how you’re setting the tone for your whole day. Rushed. 🌪 . If you watch my stories, it’s nothing special, but I ease into my day. I wake up early with the best preworkout EVER, then I do 10 minutes of meditation to get in the right mindset for the day, then I reward myself with moving my body in my workout, followed by my recovery shake and a quick shower, then off to work I go! No rushing, just doing. 🤙 . It makes me feel GOOD. It helps me clear my head. It helps me have more patience!! ...I definitely need a lot of it some days! 😳 . It’s not because I’m motivated to get up and workout. It’s because I’m DISCIPLINED. It’s because I know it’s not only better for me, but everyone I encounter. 🤗 . Find your WHY and you won’t be searching for the motivation because you won’t need it! ⭐️ .

I woke up this morning excited!!!...on a Monday 😳 . 1) It’s Election Day here! 🇨🇦 2) It’s one of my bff’s bdays!! @kristenlynnenglish 👯‍♀️ 3) Still feeling extra motivated so I upped my weights in my workout!!! 💪 . In my journal entry that is built into this 💯 day program I’m doing, I wrote down the reasons why I was holding back these last couple weeks. It was because I didn’t want to overdo it, to over train, or to injure myself before my half marathon. Running is my passion, not doubt about it. I’m not medal winning great at it, but it makes me feel free and happy. I workout so I can be a better runner and to avoid as many injuries as possible. So now that my race is done I can push my workouts and not worry about being too sore to run. 🏃‍♀️ . I AM dedicated to reaching my goals. I AM persistent and will keep showing up even on days when it isn’t easy. I CAN be motivated, but motivation isn’t permanent, and I recognize that (hence being dedicated and persistent) so I’m riding this motivation wave while it’s here and it feels so damn good!!🏄‍♀️ . I’m wrapping up this program on Friday and I want YOU to join me in my next program. 3 weeks. That’s it. You can give me 21 days, right? If you don’t like it, you get your money back. No catch. That’s it.

Don’t underestimate your potential to produce change. 🌎 . When was the last time you went after something you wanted? Like, REALLY decided to go for it? To make that change you’ve always wanted to make? ⏰ . We all have something. We just have to be open and accepting to the decisions we need to make. 🤗 . I’m wrapping up my 100 workout program later this week!!! It has me feeling extra motivated to make some changes. I’ve signed up for a running program starting November 7th going over the winter to make honest and soul pushing changes to reach my running goals. I’m going to complete a kick-ass 6 week workout program starting November 11th which I just know is going to make me STRONGER! I’m making changes NOW to start 2020 with clear and achievable goals. I might be changing the world, but I’m changing MY world! 💪 .

Happy #thankfulthursday !!! 🙏 . What are 3 things you’re thankful for today? 🤔 . Our minds can’t be upset/annoyed/unhappy AND grateful at the same time! Soooo if we focus on things we’re thankful for it will help us have a positive day. ☀️ . Each and every day there are millions of things (big and small) that we are fortunate to have. 💯 . Of course things don't always go well! Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it! ⚖️ . And, I know that when I spend time realizing just HOW MUCH I have to be grateful for I'm a happier, healthier, a better person in general and that creates more to be thankful for! ☺️ . It's FULLY within our power! 🙌 . So regardless of what happened today - EVEN if crap came your way - drop a comment below with at least one thing you’re thankful for! 📜 . And skip the big stuff like health and family! Those are a given....find the SMALL things to be thankful for! Cause practicing this WILL make a difference in how you respond to your life when it really counts! 🎉 . . #itsthelittlethings #positivevibes #topthree #happiness #confidence #findyourjoy #hustle #noregrets #oneday #dayone #roadrunning #trailrunning #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runningmotivation #runnerslife #running #dailycalm #yoga #yogamakesmehappy #fitness #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #goals #adventure #getoutsideyourcomfortzone #findyourgreatness #agoalwithoutanactionplanisadaydream #goconquer https://www.instagram.com/p/B3vbf8iFAJl/?igshid=bd9m7at388tn

Another half marathon ✅ . It wasn’t my best performance, but certainly not my worst. When I realized there was absolutely no way I was able to reach my goal I had a little pity party for myself for about a kilometre or so. Then I smartened up and told myself to still finish in a time I can be proud of. ⏱ . Although I’m not thrilled with my finish time, I don’t want to belittle my efforts. It’s no easy feat. Running is so much of a mental game as it is physical and I just wasn’t mentally in it to win it. 🤷‍♀️ . I’m so thankful for my running family with all their love and support. My favourite moments were being able to cheering them into the finish line. There’s such a mix of emotions on everyone’s faces as they finish. It just made my weekend. 💕 . . #medalmonday #happythanksgiving #thankfulformyrunningfam #runtobeer #cvrr #confidence #findyourjoy #hustle #noregrets #oneday #dayone #roadrunning #trailrunning #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runningmotivation #runnerslife #running #dailycalm #yoga #yogamakesmehappy #fitness #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #goals #adventure #getoutsideyourcomfortzone #findyourgreatness #agoalwithoutanactionplanisadaydream #goconquer @runvictoriamarathon (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3oD_azFD-p/?igshid=95t4duz03f0d

You know I’ve been struggling with staying calm, cool and collected this week. When I start worrying about the little things, all my coping mechanisms seem to fail me and all the emotions and stress seep in. 😬 . I can still find solace in my morning routine. Wake-up, drink my Wakey-Wakey juice, meditate, and move my body! This has kept me centred for at least the morning this week. I am proud that I created this time for ME! 🤗 . Deciding to invest a small amount of money to give myself the freedom of working out at home when I want and how I want was quite literally one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have given myself freedom. I have given myself grace. Most importantly I have taught myself discipline. 💪 . It doesn’t come easy everyday, but I know my body and mind crave it. I know how much better I feel getting it done and how clear my mind can feel at end. They say “exercise is the best medicine” for a reason...because it’s true! This program I’m currently doing even comes with built in journal time! 🤸‍♀️ .
