I hail from the frigid Northlands.
Mainly post about running, strength training, being outdoors, and I share pictures of food unapologetically.
Next up - Spartan Trifecta?
I love tacos and coffee equally.

What a beautiful day to get out to the hills! Visited Camp Fortune for my first #ski day of the season. I'm happy to report I felt confident enough to go to the intermediate hills on day 1! 😄 After some warming up on the bunny hills.

One of my kids clipped their fingernails on the couch today, and if that wasn't bad enough, I sent a text to my family group demanding to know who cut their fingernails on the couch but accidentally sent it to my coworkers group.
Yeah I'm done for the day.

Some data science: I started logging my meals again on January 1st, and gave myself some goals starting on the 5th - quitting alcohol, upping protein, and maintaining a small but manageable calorie deficit. It's working well for me so far. Nothing dramatic, but definitely progress.

After a month of saying I'm going to buckle down and run outside, I admitted today it just isn't happening. I signed up for a large chain gym, mainly for the treadmills but also for those hip adductor/abductor machines. It's kind of steep but if I actually use it, it will be worth it.

I got a citrus juicing press and before I even got a chance to use it myself, my kids pressed all my oranges and limes into one juice container and named it slorange juice.

...At least they're not out spraypainting anarchist symbols on trains, I guess?

I took some wise advice given to me a few days ago and hit the spa for some relax time and a massage. Sooo wonderful sitting up in the hot pools with all the snow coming down.
Then I went for #tacos after. Yes I am still making more tacos tonight. Had to get myself in the right mindset.

Last night was the hardest day of Dry January. I love staying up late prepping food but man I love to have a beer or glass of wine while I do it. I stayed strong! 💪
I made a marinade for cochinita pibil before realizing grapefruit is bad for my husband. Doing a second round with orange.

I'm getting my wish for snow! Which is awesome, but in case travel considerations are crummy in the next day, I'm stocking up at my favourite place to visit before I try to make more #tacos. With unfamiliar ingredients, like annatto seeds. Oh yes. I don't suck at this as much as I used to.

Between a late evening bootcamp class on Wednesday and all my epic wipeouts skiing last night, I'm extra achy today. I'm still going to Strength and Conditioning today, but I've gotta find a way to work in some serious stretching or yoga. There just never feels like enough time.

I finally got out to test my new cross country skis. What the hell this shit is hard! I thought because I downhill ski it would be no problem, but I spent a lot of time on the ground.
We're getting rain tomorrow sadly, so no more trails for a bit. Just gym.

I'm getting my macros back in order this week, and I can finally do it now that the irrationally large Christmas Toblerone bar is gone. If I have a late-night protein shake, I'll come close to both my calorie and protein targets.
Great workout today, but I need cardio back in my life.

I'm thinking of beaches today for some reason. Some years ago on the island of #Naxos, I spotted an abandoned restaurant from the tranquility of the beach, and decided to explore it.
If you squint in that last picture, you can see the Temple of Apollo off in the distance.

2 classes back to back this morning. Powerlifting first - I benched 20lbs, another PB. Short sets of 2x3 reps then 2x2 reps. Deadlift 25lbs, and 40lbs for the squats. After that the HIIT class. I wish I wasn't trying to be disciplined or I'd be off to the buffet.

Strength and Conditioning day! I got a new PB on sled push - 170lbs for 20 yards. My bench press is still not impressive - 10 reps at 10lbs - but considering I could barely get 5 reps with no weight on the bar a few months ago, it's a big improvement. 💪

Some fireworks in the neighbourhood last night to kick off the new year and #Ottawa 200th anniversary. And I can't leave out this van with the an impressive amount of Christmas lights.

My final post(s) of 2025! This was a good year, but definitely not an easy year. I started 2025 reeling from the death of my best friend, and struggling to run again after a serious knee injury. My morale was pretty low and my self-confidence was taking a real kicking.

My purchasing of books has vastly outpaced my ability to read them, so I'm not allowed to get any more books in 2026 and must go through the stack I have. But it's not 2026 yet so I got two final books today.

Not a bad week so far. I took one recovery day after my 2 hour Saturday, got in Strength and Conditioning yesterday, and an upper body strength class today. I don't feel as shitkicked by classes anymore, but I do feel I'm losing some cardio. Maybe I'll find an awful treadmill tomorrow.

I ordered hot pepper seeds today. I stopped growing them during the pandemic, but a neighbour who makes his own hot sauce inspired me to get back to it. Also gives me something to set up indoors with all the ice and wind outside.

I picked up some cross country skis today! I'm excited to finally give this a try after years of resisting the idea. They're in the shop getting waxed so I have to be patient.
Bummer about the epic ice rain we're supposed to get hit by this evening, but hopefully we get good conditions again soon.

Clearly I have no idea how to use my Garmin to measure rounds, but I did an extended workout this morning. 45 minutes of powerlifting, which I'm just getting back into after a year, followed by 1 hour non-rest HIIT class. No regrets. Maybe not till later today or tomorrow, anyway. 😄

Awesome HIIT class today - about 30 people came out. It was great to see everyone and wish them happy holidays, tho realistically I'll be seeing most of them again this weekend.
Super festive super spicy panang from my absolute favourite #Ottawa Thai spot, Chili Thai.
Merry Christmas!
