April marks my 5th month of triathlon training, and throughout the process so far I’ve noticed a few very clear trends in my hunger levels. At the moment, my coach has me in the middle of what he calls “a solid week”, meaning that it’s a tougher one in terms of intensity. Like the previous […]
Today marks my 12th day as a Vancouverite and I’m happy to announce that the madness of moving has finally begun to wind down. My first week of work was a whirlwind for sure, full of meeting a whole bunch of really fun and interesting people, newbie orientations, a team potluck, and lots of training […]
Last month when I was trying to eat down the contents of my kitchen prior to moving, I found myself with unusually large amounts of a few different food items. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that my cupboards held enough oats, beans, nuts, quinoa and rice to feed an army, but the […]
Hey guys! How’s your week going? I’d tell you mine’s been busy with move-related stuff but you already know that so I’ll tell you some other news instead: I’ve ticked another one of the big to-do’s off my list and officially have a new home in Vancouver! My lease was signed last week, and I’m […]
When chatting with my health coaching clients, it never fails that the issue of not having enough time affects their ability to stay on track with their nutrition goals. I’d be lying if I said that being busy hasn’t affected the quality of my food choices in the past, but one of the beauties of having a […]
Remember back when you were in school and March Break was a thing? Unless you’re a teacher or you have kids, that’s probably a distant and fading memory. How awesome would it be if everyone got March break, including adults? Despite March Break being a lovely 1-week holiday that not everyone gets to take advantage of, a […]
Suitcase stuffed full of spandex and luon? Check. Bike dismantled and in the bike bag? Check. Snacks for the plane? Check. Passport and e-ticket? Check. Ready to get the heck out of this freezing cold country for a few days? Check checkity check check. I’ve been looking forward to February 25th for weeks, and tonight […]
Oh kombucha, how I love thee. Your bubbles, your kinda-sweet, kinda vinegar-y taste, your endless flavours, and your gut-friendliness. I could drink you all day long. Your only fault? Your price in grocery stores. $4 a bottle? Really? That’s a little crazy – almost like Starbucks crazy. A girl’s gotta eat, and a kombucha-drinking habit […]
Want a twist on traditional Vietnamese pho? Try this high-protein, cozy Zucchini Noodle Shrimp Pho made with soothing, flavourful broth, fresh herbs and spiralized zucchini. It’s paleo and Whole30 friendly too! I know it’s probably the 50481293627th time I’ve told you guys that it’s cold outside, but it is. Weather has got to be THE […]
Friends, I have an obsession with a veggie. For those that know how large my carrot consumption is, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s not carrots. A couple of weeks ago, one of my co-workers asked me for a snack recommendation. He said he’d developed a late night snacking habit and wanted some tasty yet […]
