Lululemon Expansion Series: Yoga at the ROM




What an incredible view!

ROM Yoga Series

Luulemon's Expansion Series #1




I used this umbrella so that my fellow group members of COWS (Canadian Outdoor World Seekers) could all find each other at the ROM museum's yoga event! There were 300 yogis in total!

How to Stop Sugar Cravings!

Every January, I always give up drinking for one month to give my body a break from additional cocktails I usually have during the holiday season. This year, I thought I would challenge myself even further and decided to give up coffee and sugar! Yes, you read correctly. I gave up coffee AND sugar AND alcohol all at the same time.

So far, it's been 24 days and I only caved in once. I had to have that triple chocolate piece of cake after a fabulously healthy dinner! It was heavenly and I enjoyed every minute of it. I only have 7 more days left and hopefully, I'll find my more than normal sweet tooth has decreased!

For all those who like me, crave sweets, I dedicate this article from www.sparkpeople.com to you!

Who's standing in your way?

Hello and Happy New Year!

I hope you're excited as I am for 2012! This is going to be a fantastic year full of fun, adventure, success and as always, new learning experiences.

I came across this article on one of my favorite websites, www.sparkpeople.com. I thought the message was a perfect way to start the new year and I wanted to share it with you.

Imagine someone regularly tying small weights around your ankles as you try to climb a mountain. Doesn't sound fair, does it? But that's exactly what you can do to yourself, a little bit at a time, if you don't watch out. When you think of who and what is standing in the way of your dreams, it's easy to forget your own responsibility. Even the best of us can be guilty of unknowingly hurting our own progress. Procrastination, lateness, being disorganized, pessimism, not being honest with yourself, severe self-criticism, downplaying achievements, focusing only on weaknesses while ignoring strengths, keeping goals a secret, demanding perfection, giving up after a small setback--these are all ways you can make it tough to be (and do) your best. Smart systems, the right attitude, and a promise to keep going no matter what will make a world of difference.
