Snot

Good morning!

You read the title correctly...snot.  It's on my mind today as I work through this cold.   Yesterday, it was on my top lip...yes...running from my nose to my lip right in the middle of my audition!  Hideous!  Why my nose had to dribble at that exact moment I will never know...the good news is that the casting director likely won't soon forget me!  She was very gracious, offered me a Kleenex and we moved on.  Wonder if I will be getting a call back for this one??


What else can you do but laugh?  My friend Becky and I laughed for hours yesterday.  Our 15 hour Vancouver adventure began at 6:30 am.  We hit the road for the coast with oatmeal, healthy snacks, coffee and reading material. 



The snot incident was one of several funny moments.  We got lost (many times), we lost the truck momentarily in an underground parking lot and Becky thought the Canucks were playing in the Stanley Cup Final last night!  All giggle worthy moments.

We had grand intentions of fitting a run into this day...but it didn't happen. We did, however, keep our food intake pretty healthy (except for some mini eggs ~ bad Becky for buying them!)  I always find it challenging to eat clean (and vegan) on the road.  My 'go to' right now is Subway.  I order the wheat bun, then ask them to dig out all the 'inside' bread.  Basically it just leaves you with the crusty part.  I get it loaded with veggies!  (Thanks to Lucy for that 'bread' tidbit.)

Thank you Becky for making a long day fun!  I always enjoy my time with you!  What better a place to catch up then hours together in a vehicle.

Tomorrow, I'm going to share my absolute favourite meal of the moment!

Enjoy your day.

Toby

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...

Make Room For It

Clutter is so detrimental.  In your closets on your counters but most especially in your head.  Outside clutter can be discarded with a little time and elbow grease but removing mental clutter is a whole other ball game. I'm going to speak about fitness and healthy eating but this can be applied to anything that has you stuck. I've fretted for months about losing my exercise routine.  A new career move meant a new schedule in direct conflict with my gym time.  It had been my gym time for as many years as I can remember and when I lost it (even though I love my job) I lost a little part of myself. My mind was over-active with new approaches to exercise but honestly they were mostly excuses about why I didn't really need to, mixed with a touch of self loathing. This thing that had been so important for my physical and mental well-being was getting further away...until a moment of clarity. Let me ask, have you tried meditating?  Going quiet, letti...

Body BOGO

Hello Friends!  We all love a good sale. That feeling of getting more value for less dollars. In that spirit, I have to share with you my most recent fitness obsession that really is a Buy One Get One scenario.  I am the first to admit I'm not really faithful to any one form of fitness exclusively for more than a few months. I get bored...                   Me being bored! ...and I don't apologize for that. Fitness is part of my daily life and if it's not fun then I can't be bothered. So, after a pretty regular gym routine for the past few years in prep for bodybuilding competitions, I was ready for something entirely different.  That's when Kelowna HIT opened it's doors.  HIT is a high intensity, interval, kick-boxing workout that is unlike anything I've ever done. It's done in a circuit style, two minutes at 12 different stations, alternating between upper body, lower body and abs. It in no way resembles other women's on...
