It got real sweaty this morning!
Thankfully, Zyia has all the options I need to stay comfortable for all the sweaty workouts! And it’s always cute, making me a very happy girl!
I did a 45min spin class with and loved every minute... maybe not towards the end when my legs were burning like crazy, but I sure am proud of finishing! Cardio day done! Now to nap so I can go to work tonight...
What are you up to today?

First of the week and it was all about endurance!
First of all, let’s take a second to appreciate this gym outfit! Yes it looks good, but it’s also comfy and holds up to a workout like a boss!
See, I’ve been working with my coach for a while (like over a year) and he knows me. He knows what my habits are, he knows what my weaknesses are. He knows that with spring setting in, I will amp up the running. That’s why we did an endurance training.
Do I enjoy doing what feels like a million rep of everything... not even a little bit. I hear « 30 reps » and I die a little inside!! That being disais, I do them and I push through... I might complain once or twice, but I get it done (I still would without a coach too). Why you ask? Because I know there is a goal behind it, I know that if I hate it, I probably need it more than I would like to admit!
Do you fight your programs or trust the process??

I love a good leg day with ! She always knows how to get just a bit more out of me! If you are looking for a good coach, check her out!
Started with some rower as a warm up and ended on the bike. These leggings, tank and bra were perfect for this workout! always has me covered! Check out my story to see it in action!

Who doesn’t like a little tie-die??
Got a run, some steps and biking done today! It’s been a long time since I did a cardio day at the gym! It was nice to have all these options to pick from... although it did remind me how boring running on a treadmill can be.
To get through the 5k, it required a bunch of interval work just to keep myself interested 🤪 So I guess we’ll count this as speed work!
What did you go today??

How are you feeling right now??

It’s been a long year of COVID19, there’s been a lot of need to adjust, there’s been some hard choices... there’s been a lot period!

We are bombarded by posts about self-care everywhere from everyone... But what if we started by just recognizing how we feel? Then we can decide what would make us feel better.

I was so frustrated Friday, from a situation I had no control over... and it was all stressing me out! You know, when your shoulders are tensed up, you jaw clenches without you noticing... Breathing wasn’t cutting it, I needed to lift, lift as heavy as I could. Do I did, even though I had very little sleep in me and it really wasn’t optimal. It’s what I needed and I knew it. Once I was done, I felt such relief, like the weight of the last 24h just lifted off of me.

That was the best kind of self care I could’ve done for myself... I don’t tell you I don’t feel it today, I totally do, but it worth it! Self care is not always what you think and it’s not the same for everyone. Don’t let someone else’s opinion of what self care is, define what it is for you!

What’s your favourite form of self care??

It’s the weekend! Let’s go outside! Two queens of the hill and 2 shovelers!
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
P.S. Wearing my yellow Oh So Soft Hoodie so you know I’m cozy!

Earlier this week, I talked about consistency...
I’ve been on my fitness journey for over 10 years. I started with running and it just kept on going from that point on. My goals changed over the year, my style of training changed as well, but my will to show up for myself never did.
That said, after my second pregnancy, things got hard... I bounced back easily after my first... but my second. Everything just felt off. I would set goals and get discouraged. No matter how hard I worked, I couldn’t see any change. It was so frustrating...
I eventually realized that if I didn’t want to be completely demotivated, I needed to change my strategy. I started to look at my workouts as a privilege, as something I get to do. I started to focus on how much fun I was having, how good I felt after my workouts.
The results didn’t come any faster, but my capacity to keep showing up did! I also started working with a coach to fix all the issues I had that second postpartum. No, the results didn’t come faster, but I found a way where I could keep showing up and be excited about my workouts. Eventually results did happen and I appreciate them that much more knowing how much hard work went into it. Find the way to stay consistent, because at the end of the day, that’s where the magic happens!

The best kind of cardio! Nature is good for my soul!

Consistency is the most important variable...
What do I mean here? You can have the best plan made by the best coach, but if you don’t show up to do the work, it won’t matter. If you fall short on committing to the process and doing the work, nothing else matters.
Lots of us have no access to a gym right now. We are home, with the little bit of equipment we had prior to this pandemic. You can hardly find any equipment right now and the wait list for certain things are nothing short of ridiculous! So how can you keep working on goals, keep the momentum and not loose everything you’ve achieved this far... by showing up consistently to do what you can do.
Yes, your progress will be slower, yes it will take time... but progress will happen. It doesn’t matter if you are committing to 3, 4, 5 sessions a week, just commit and actually show up! Show up with intention and a plan and apply the plan. Every day, every week, every month. Nobody ever achieved anything by showing up some of the time. It’s the same thing for your fitness journey. The one variable that will have the most impact will be your consistency!

So you made a resolution about fitness...
👉January is almost over... how is that resolution coming along? Are you still going strong? Did you start slipping already?
❓ Did you ever stop and ask yourself why we fail at these resolutions so often?? The answer is usually in our all or nothing mentality. We want to do all the things now... but is that the best approach?
👉 What if instead we looked at what we could be consistent with. Instead of telling ourselves well workout 6 days a week, we started with 3. Instead of changing everything about our diet, we tried improving on one thing. One thing at a time instead of everything at once. Build a strong foundation one brick at a time? In the end, we are trying to build a lifestyle that we can maintain long term and just like Rome, it won’t be built in a day.
What do you think?

What do you focus on during the weekend?
👉For me, the weekend is for family time, making memories and a bit of me time. I also use a bit of Sunday to prepare for the week that will start... I am a planner, always was, always will!
❄️ Yesterday was all about time outdoors making memories with the girls. We went snowshoeing, we made a small « skating rink » for them to play a bit, we made a fire to warm up while having a snack. We got home late for lunch, naps were later... the schedule was off, but we were making memories and that’s ok.
🏋️‍♀️ My me time is my workout and on weekend that’s no different. I’m lucky enough that both girls still nap, so nap time is workout time in this house. I’m lucky enough to have a very supportive hubby on that front so, as much as I make sure he has time to workout, he does the same for me.
👉 I also like to plan my week out a bit on weekends. I plan the meals for the week, I plan what needs to get done in terms of housework, kids stuff, appointments, work. Having an idea of what needs to happen when makes it easier for me to make sure it gets done!
What do you focus on during the weekend??
