I am 30yrs old and I have always been active, I spend my summers out in nature and always did it for pleasure rather than cousciously try to excercise. Luckily I still got to benefit from the end result. I would hike 15k at least once
a week as well as go canoeing. I don't drive but I live
downtown and can walk to everything that matters and worse case there are always cabs, right? The turning point was when my youngest sibbling passed away in 2005. She was 24 and we all took it really hard. I lost the taste for hanging out with my friends all the time and they were persistent in not leaving me alone, luckily... but I still managed to reduce my activities and next thing I knew, I was walking and felt like I was carrying too much weight for my own good. (I also saw a picture of me taken this winter and that really did not help). In the spring of 2008, I decided to
bring my health back in check and strated doing Yoga in the morning and cardio after work. So I picked up Slim in 6 and Hip Hop abs and created a work out routine combined with my hiking and running. I had not weighed myself unpon starting this routine, I don't know what progress I have made, but I definitely feel it and it is becoming addictive. So here I am, hoping to pick it up and maybe find a little more discipline and maybe tips in managing my routine.

I studied to become a chef and have always ate very healthy. I can't remember the last time I had McDonalds or any type of fast food for that matter. I love the art of cooking, it inspires creativity, it gives a sense of well being once the
meal is done and to top it off my friends prefer eating in when I'm cooking rather than going out to a restaurant. (How flattering!!) In a nutshell, I'm a VERY independant girl, I strive to accomplish everything myself (I've done plumbing, renovating and such but have kept electrical for the professionals). I have no kids, am loving life and making sure I live every moment to the fullest. Slowly but surely the passing of my sister becomes a reality with which I am getting more comfortable. In the past year and a half I've started to come around and am feeling much better but time knows to heal our grief and I trust life that way.
