Red Ants!

I’m off to pick out our new floors for the basement tonight! It’s amazing how quick that got taken care of. We are also renovating our kitchen...it’s sooooooooooooo ugly. It’s a total throw back to the 80’s...I hate it. Finally, I’m stepping into the 21st century. I’m going to do a video blog for you so you can see this transformation....and see how frickin ugly the kitchen is as well.


I’m starting to hear feedback about my blog...I can’t thank all of you enough for your support!!! Please feel free to spread the word  ...and keep giving me your feedback.

It’s the New Year and of course there are so many new members at the gym...it’s terrific, I love this time of year. I get to meet lots of new women and trust me everyone has a story. I have the best job in the world. Lots of love in my office for sure. Let’s be honest for a moment though....if one more person comes into see me and tells me their diet is great and they are overweight as well.... I might lose my mind. Congratulations, to my client Joy P she came in and put up the white flag and confessed her sins to me..she had cheated and was glad I had to cancel our appointment last week (due to the flood). I love this woman, when I recommend increasing and mixing up her cardio she just does it no questions asked. She is not ready to share her results...but she has lost over 20 pounds so far!

I’m guessing some of you are wondering if I made it through the two football games with no M&M’s....I did only cuz there were none...but I fixed that and phoned my daughter Jennifer and told her to pick me some up...she said she didn’t have enough money...”oh no worries, I will get Dad to transfer the money to you”. Mission accomplished, Rob and I ate them. Good thing I eat well the rest of the time. In fact as I type this blog I’m eating carrots and celery...just finished a yogurt...Stonyfield – organic ...no hormones, no antibiotics...no factory farmed animals. No artificial sweetener...pure cane sugar... 100 calories but worth every single one of them. I picked them up at Sobey’s in the “organic” dairy product section. Don’t forget the factory farmed cows are filled with Omega 6’s....too much causes inflammation and too much of that causes heart disease. BTW, if you thought the Fibre One gave you great poops...have this yogurt and feel amazing.

The other night I asked my daughter Desiree to try some Quinoa (ancient grain) I opened the container and she told me it looked like “red ants” ...see what I have to deal with. I did ask Desiree to write a blog entry for me letting you all know what it is like to live with the “Food Fun Sucker”. She asked for a few days to gather her thoughts ...so stay tuned for that one! I can’t wait to read it. I must also get Jennifer to do one too!

One last thought for the day...I went to Costco tonight to do that monthly stock up run. As we were cashing out I looked at all the photos of the food options available at Costco’s cafeteria. DON’T EAT THERE! There is NOTHING healthy there at all. In fact, I think they are discriminating against people who chose to eat healthy. If I went there on an empty stomach I would starve (but you know I would never go there empty handed). Funny thing though the food “court” there was packed...holy crap it was 7:30 at night: why are you only having dinner now AND why was this your choice????? Why are companies allowed to sell this poison? I know, I know...it’s cheap....still a terrible reason, I think 

I’m posting a picture of my client and now friend Tanya...lots of the member’s from Womens Fitness will recognize her...she is always at the gym. I want to congratulate her on all her hard work and the payoff she is now experiencing. She looks terrific, healthy and now knows how to eat properly! Tanya is my Yoga buddy and I love her to bits...way to go 
