Winter Sports


With the Winter Olympics in full swing I have been feeling very pumped about winter sports. In Canada there are endless amounts of winter sports to partake in that can keep you healthy until the warm weather returns. Last weekend I went to Ottawa and skated on the canal which was so much fun! Outdoor skating is free in most places. Even though it is pretty mild right now, downtown Oakville has free skating on the 16 mile creek and also Nathan Philips Square in Toronto.

In the Ontario area there are many ski hills to visit every weekend of the winter season. Some of my favorites are Blue Mountain, Talisman and if you feel like heading into the United States, Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, NY.

If skiing, snowboarding and skating are not your thing then watch the olympics for more sports you can learn to enjoy and get out of the indoors!

Week 4

I am on my last week of the month and have to say I am feeling pretty good on what I have accomplished! Last week I did lose motivation but from watching all the new Olympic commercials and the purchase of new spring clothes I am beginning to regain a lot of it back. At the end of the week I am planning to see one of my high school friends in our nations capital Ottawa! It is one of my favorite cities in Canada. One of the greatest things about it is the amount of activities one can do while being there. Even though I will be drinking a fair amount due to it being my friends 24th birthday we have already come up with a plan to stay healthy! One is going to her gym and taking a Yoga class. At most gyms you can grab a visitors pass for a really cheap price (or for free) if you are visiting someone outside of your home town. Also on the Sunday we are going to skate on the Canal. Even though i do not have a valentine maybe I will meet my man while skating my bum off!
This weeks plan: work off Superbowl Food (woooo Saints!!) and keep on exercising on my trip!

Week Three


Nothing new to report, still exercising and still seeing small little differences, but starting to lose momentum eating wise and blogging wise. A month is almost done though so I will keep on trucking and get through another long two months haha.

p.s that is my little buddy Quincy who naps with me on a daily basis :)
