Sisters

Hello friends.

I'm recovering from a grueling stair climbing workout.  My hamstrings are still sore from that Gabby Reese workout on Tuesday...now my calves and quads will get in on the action!  Tomorrow may hurt!!  It's good pain though, right?

OK, so my sister-in-law Liane is visiting from Calgary this weekend.  The 'Calgary Wittmann's' arrived yesterday...we were all so happy to see each other.  I always enjoy spending time with Liane.  We are on the same page in many aspects or our lives.  We love exercise and spiritual work.  I always feel that after time together, Liane and I leave each other having gained something.  (Liane is going to gain some sore legs from me!  Lol!!)  I took her to the Rutland Stairs this morning...yikes...she's like me though, she loved the workout and will appreciate that soreness when she first moves tomorrow morning! 


After our workout we hit Starbucks and Chapters.  We plopped ourselves down in front of some Chakra books, Liane always inspires me that way.  I had noticed this beautiful Orange Shakra necklace she had been wearing.  She told me it was because she was working on that paticular Chakra, however, once we opened the book we realized Orange was not the colour she was to be focusing on right now...Green was for her and guess who needed some 2nd Chakra, (orange) attention?  That's right...me!  Do you love my new necklace?  I do...thank you Liane.



We then moved on to the Cooking section.  Liane is curious about the Vegetarian Lifestyle.  For as long as I've known her, she's been committed to healthy eating, but this will be a new direction for her.  I look forward to helping her along.  

Inspiration comes from many places, but how fabulous it is to be inspired by people.  It makes me smile.   We've both gone our seperate ways today, but we each take a morsel of inspiration provided by the other.  I wish for you this same kind of 'In Spirit' connection with someone today.

LASER UPDATE

Hello Friends. Just checking in after what's been a long break from the blog!  I wanted to update you as I continue my laser treatments at Advantage Body Clinic. A bit of history ~ I have stretch marks from two pregnancies.  I had a tummy tuck six years ago to get rid of sagging skin and repair a separated abdominal muscle.  The surgery was wonderful, no more sagging skin, but it didn't get rid of the stretch marks. For the last half year (or so) I've been undergoing treatments at Advantage.  Using 'Fractional Laser' technology, Kathryn and Karen are adamant I will be stretch mark free when this process is complete.  I have had six treatments, I have noticed much improvement in the appearance of my stretch marks, but they aren't gone.  It seems my surgery, which stretched the skin, impacts the laser treatments.  It doesn't mean it won't work, it will just take longer. Again, one of the great perks of these treatments, which promote collagen pr...

New Life, New Job, Same Goals

Hi Friends! It's been a while.  I lost my blogging mo-jo a few years back just before everything in my life changed.  I've been through a time of extreme reflection, growth and change.  I left my marriage in 2017, started an amazing new job at Kelowna's NEW 103.1 Beach Radio in the spring of 2018 and somewhere in there found the love of my life. This period of adjustment has been at it's core, a shift to happiness.   Ensuring my daughters are happy and secure in the new arrangement has been of paramount importance.   This transition has been so worth while but as with any new journey some of the old, familiar things fall by the wayside.   If you follow me on social media or if you read this blog when it was active (2011-2014), you know that healthy eating and exercise have always been part of my daily life. Through my 20's and 30's, I was up and out of bed at the crack of dawn running, riding or doing some form of exercise.  I...

Hello Friends. For as long as I can remember I have dreamed about being thin.  Life would be better, I would be prettier, people would like me more...if I was thin. Recently, I came across a picture of me that was taken 15 years ago...I was not thin...in fact the person staring back at me was 30 pounds heavier and almost unrecognizable.  It made me cry...not just tears, but sobs.  How could anyone have liked me...let alone love me?  Once I re-gained control of myself, I felt depressed, sad for the girl in that picture...but as I flipped through all of the photos (a trip to NYC with Curtis before we were engaged) I started remembering the places we'd visited, the laughs we'd shared and the memories made.  Wait, life WAS good then...I was just too obsessed with my weight to notice. Fast forward to the present and I now realize how much time I wasted 'vying' to be thin.  How much of our lives drift by while we're trying to be something else?  N...
