There too many popular social media accounts that suggest and tell people how they can look and feel better, if they just lose a few pounds.Losing weight will not guarantee you will be healthier- You cannot determine someone’s health by looking at them. Some people have a very complicated relationship with food and feeling the need to comment on someone’s body is not necessary or helpful. Stop letting people suggest to you that you need to look a “certain way” to be healthy. Work on adding in healthy habits to your lifestyle, ones you can maintain and ones that don’t destroy your relationship with food. Move more, strength train, eat more vegetables, increase your water intake, increase your fiber.

Life is short. Don’t let a number define who you are...you are so much more

You know what doesn’t get easier or better? Everything you don’t practice. Practice is boring sometimes. Starting slow takes patience. Willing to suck at something is frustrating. But the joy and happiness you feel when you improve is amazing. When something is suddenly easier than it was last week you feel great. Don’t ignore the power of small, consistent progress over time. For me that is running right now- slow and steady.

Yesterday I rode in the -75km distance was my distance. Some crazy folks biked 163km Brett Ledingham
The event was well organized and ran smoothly which is always great as a participant. I challenged myself but took time to appreciate the views, eat bacon and take some pictures. Life is short, enjoy the moments along the way.

Have you ever been exercising or participating in an activity and thought, “man, I just don’t seem to have my normal energy. I feel tired, sluggish.” Maybe you even felt a little shaky or light headed.
If you answered YES to any of the above, there is a good chance you were not properly fueled for your activity. I wasn’t yesterday when I hopped on the bike and my ride ended earlier than I planned
Keep the following in mind to ensure you are properly fuelled:

💪If eating a meal before activity, aim for about 2 hours before
💪If your last meal will be greater than 2 hours before your activity, then eat a snack about an hour before
💪What to eat...a combination of carbs and protein is key (don’t skimp on the carbs, your body will use carbs as its primary fuel source and because our bodies can only store limited glycogen (how our body stores carbs) in our muscles, you will need to have carbs readily available
Snack ideas:
🍓Fruit smoothie with protein powder
🥛Cereal and milk
🍌Oatmeal and banana
🍞Toast and peanut butter
🍎 Fruit and yogurt

Food is fuel!

What if our body isn’t aging as fast as we think? What if our habits of walking less, sitting more, scrolling more and a life of convenience at our fingertips are making us feel old?

Perhaps our aches and pains are not signalling our body is falling apart, but our bodies way of asking to move more. Your body isn’t fragile it will respond to what you do/don’t do with it.

So move your body. Even if it’s slow. Even if it only for 5 minutes. Your body is adaptable.

Your story isn’t over and it’s not too late.

Quick weekend trip to Montreal with the family, turned into a little longer trip when a winter storm rolled thru and we spent two extra days in Montreal. Unfortunately a couple of the family ended up sick but we are always grateful for time spent together and an opportunity to binge watch Netflix when you don’t feel like doing anything else. 😉

Life will always get on the way of our plans. Some days you will have time and energy for a full workout, other days not. So having backup plans is a simple way to help ensure you are able to stay consistent with your exercise routine. It may not seem like much when you only stretch or walk for a few minutes- but it is something and you are keeping a commitment to yourself. You don’t need fireworks and confetti on an ap to prove your movement was worthy. Your watch/ap isn’t living your life, so don’t let it be the only thing telling you your movement was good/bad on a given day. Show up for a few minutes each day, put the day behind you and move on.

Happy New Year 🥳 May 2026 bring you much happiness & health.

Think about training for the last decade of your life. What do you want to be able to do then? Where do you want to live? Absolutely, things out of our control can impact those decisions, but we do have control how we live in the here & now and those decisions will affect our future. Train for tomorrow and beyond!
