What a couple of months it’s been! A new job with crazy hours (4am-7am? #yawn), a move, the Whole30 challenge, a road trip in the UK, and then class trips and the last week of school. And then the summer is truly upon us, as Canada Day is fast approaching! I wanted to do a bit of an update on ... Read More »
As we enter Day 8 of our 30-Day fitness challenge, my muscles are a little sore in places they aren’t usually. Climbing stairs is tricky. Carrying something as small as my school bag reminds me that I’ve been using long-neglected muscles. But it’s all for a good cause. I’m looking forward to the satisfaction of completing this challenge, and hopefully noticing some improvement ... Read More »
