So it’s been 10 days since I stopped the cut, went to Cuba on vacation and ditched counting calories in favour of what I would consider a major refeed. I learned a couple of things during this week, first that my strength takes a major hit when I am cutting, something that I have missed. […]
Keeping Up With The Kids
..is hard… Last week for gymnastics conditioning we completed a second legs and abs workout and a step aerobics like class for cardio involving blocks and lots and lots of jumping. The cardio day was basically a copy of THIS DAY but the legs and abs work was a little tougher. It was labelled as Legs […]

This Week At Gym
For me, things are status quo. No lifting records or goals, just some kettlebells added to my regular routine and a sense of comfort and happiness with my situation in the gym. This has included an addition of the bootcamp at gymnastics which gives me a little added activity 3x a week which so far […]
Finally A Working Cut
Started June 6 at 250, after 16 days I am down 11.2 lbs. 800 calorie deficit seems to be the right amount for me. What has helped? Cutting dairy almost completely (that means not drinking milk for me). I still have a bit of cheese for breakfast and milk in coffee but I have stopped […]
30WOD2D29 – Suddenly Bootcamp
It’s not that I am avoiding the last WODs, that I hate the look of the 7 I have to do, not at all, I just was looking at the picture over on the right and knowing that the reason I was looking like that was the bootcamps I was doing. So I have decided […]
Back To Basics? No Problem.
What is the most basic workout you can do to “survive” as an athlete? Injured, out of focus, surgery, distractions, University we all come up against times in our life when we need to get back on the wagon and maybe going straight to the gym isn’t the preferred method.

R11D29-30 – One Third Done!
Today was not a great workout but over the last few weeks I have been reticent to do workout with the kids at gym because frankly I am not sure I could keep up. Then again, there is no motivation better than leading any kind of fitness routine. So Monday we grabbed the dumbbells and […]
