Wow it’s almost January! Where does the time go?? I got a new e-bike this year that was a lot of fun to ride around town but since I got it near the end of the summer.. I didn’t get out as much as I will be able to come spring this year. I wasn’t exercising for a bit there

Wow May has gone by pretty quick! There’s been some great weather for cycling, so that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. I admit that I haven’t been recapping dramas as much because after a long cycle I need time to recover. I’ll try to see if I can break my record by hitting 55km in June but so far the

April is finally ending! The weather has warmed up enough so that I could go cycling outside. My record for cycling this year stands at 38.77 km but I hope to be able to cycle farther in May. It’s always a bit rough when you start cycling outside again because while indoor trainers are nice they don’t have wind resistance

Oddly enough most people don’t know that Medic Alert Canada is actually partnered with Garmin Canada! The partnership has been out awhile but it’s amazing how neither organization seems to openly promote this. It seems silly not to promote it since Garmin itself has many health tracking benefits including Stress levels, body battery, and so much more! However Medic Alert

Wow another month has come and gone.. where did March go? The weather has been pretty nice, so I managed to get in a few good walks this month. I even managed to walk down and up a huge hill. I did that walk two days in a row.. and my body said no to a third day, as I

This month was huge because I got an indoor exercise bike from Costco that is IFIT compatible. I’ve been exploring the programs, testing out various beginner ones as I prepare myself for spring when I can actually go outdoors on my own bike and cycle around. Oddly enough I even managed to lose a little bit of weight, but I’m

It’s that time again, just before the winter holidays and all the good food.. so time to do a roundup and see how I’m doing. There will also be some sad news in this one so be warned! I’ve been pretty active this month, but it’s getting back in the habit of working out that’s hard. My weight has stayed

So I missed doing a monthly roundup for August and September because I just wasn’t that active. It’s hard to admit but, it’s true and because of that I gained a good amount of weight.. sigh. My weight weight went up like 10 pounds in those two months.. so I’m back to logging my food and being more active. I

So it’s been another dreary week of barely any workouts so I decided to try the Apple Fitenss+. I decided to start with the dance workouts because they were good cardio and my Vo2 max needs to improve. I decided to try the Dance with Ben which is set to Space Jam because clearly I was feeling a bit nostalgic.

It’s been an interesting week. I’ve run out of energy a lot so even doing something simple (relatively speaking) as a recap for an Asian drama has been difficult to do. I did manage to get some swimming in though and broke my record with 74 laps! It’s because I did so many laps that I had to rest in

Apologies I just realized that I forgot to make a post for the end of July! There was a bit of cycling a lot of swimming but overall only 13 workouts for the month which is less than I would like. So it wasn’t my most healthiest month this year. Even my move goals weren’t hit consistently in July. I

It’s time for another weekly roundup! It’s been an interesting week as the mask requirements has been lifted in some places while still be required in others. I’m going to admit that I love being maskless in stores but then I’m fully vaccinated so there is less risk for me. More importantly though the pool has opened up again which

So June has been a heck of a month. It started off okay but near the end there was this pesky heat wave that really affected how people get their exercise, as mostly you just wanted to stay cool. In fact in some places there was warnings not to exercise at all because of the heat. So it’s been an
Read moreI know I skipped last week but if it’s any consolation it all gets counted in the monthly roundup anyway. So recently it’s been a heatwave followed by rain.. which didn’t help my fitness goals at all. However the last two days have been great weather so I went for some early morning cycling. The thing is that when the

Yes it’s that time again for another fitness check of how I’m doing this month. I did miss a weekly roundup or maybe two? Oh well that’s life for you. That was my longest cycle to date and I’m really quite proud of myself for it. I also managed to avoid sunburn this time which is even better. So if

So this month has been a little.. well let’s say frustrating. It was Autism Awareness Month which brought up a whole other can of worms with it. As people that have been following along on the blog, or the Facebook page will have noticed that I was threatened, and bullied quite a bit. That was a lot to handle but

So it’s been a bit of a busy week. As there was no snow I even managed to get in a couple of bike rides. This is also a little bit of what made the recaps a bit slower because after a workout I was very tired, so apologies if you were waiting on Psych Hunter episode 21 recap but

So this week I managed to mostly stay on track this week. I’ve averaged about 6 km a day according to Apple Health which is actually pretty good. I admit there were some days where I just didn’t want to move that much. On the plus side I did manage to get the Women’s Day challenge medal to add my
