I still remember the days I prayed for the things I have now


As I reflect on the amazing year that was 2015 and the many blessings it brought me and my family, I cannot celebrate with toasting to each and every one of you who helped me along the way! Your support, encouragement, hugs, and love did not go unnoticed and Fit Your Life's first year of successes would not be the same without you. Thank you!

In January 2015, Fit Your Life officially began by offering one prenatal and one postpartum fitness seminar as a way of testing the waters of interest for these types of fitness classes in Edmonton. I was humbled by the wonderful response and a short while later, my first Mom & Me Fit and Prenatal Fit classes were filling up! We moved Mom & Me Fit outdoors for the summer and although we had to duck under picnic shelters a few times, we were very lucky with the weather! Prenatal Fit has continued to be strong and Fit Your Life has had 15 babies born to clients of this class already! Amazing! In August and September, Fit Bootcamp | Sweat for a Cause raised $700 and much awareness for the Lois Hole Hospital for Women's Perinatal Bereavement Program to support families going through unbearable loss. We also teamed up with Fitset to offer a free Parent & Tot -style class as a part of their Fit for Fall campaign with Kingsway Mall! Fit Your Life's fall and winter sessions continued to evolve with growing demand as we found new locations and said farewell to outgrown spaces. 

My heart is grateful for each of you who have trusted me to be a part of your fitness journey and I feel blessed to have met many amazing women this past year! As I look forward to 2016, I am excited for the possibilities, the plans, and to be continually inspired by you! 

From every piece of me, thank you and happy new year! May 2016 bring you health, happiness, and many hugs!

Kellie's Favourite "Treats"

As a new mom, having healthy snacks readily available is critical to staying on track with my nutrition. Stocking the fridge with washed and prepped fruits and vegetables are a fantastic way to sneak in a few extra nutrients throughout the day. It is nearly impossible to open your fridge and not grab a freshly washed and picked (off the vine) grape from the container on the middle shelf. Try it. I dare you!   All five recipes! In our home, we also try to have a container of healthy “treats” in the freezer for when we are on the go, to pack in lunches, or when we need a quick and nutritious snack right now! You know what I am talking about. I will often take some time on Sunday (30-60 minutes, depending on how many I am making) to whip up one or two of the recipes below. These are perfect because after they are cut or rolled, they are the perfect bite sized snacks that offer energy and protein! Bonus, they are hubby and toddler approved! Some of my ingredien...

2017 ... Are you ready?!

Hello! Yes, things have been a little quiet on the blog, but can you blame me?! Baby snuggles, toddler adventures, and all that comes with the Christmas season. Being a mom of two has been a great journey so far. The image that immediately pops into my head when someone asks how the adjustment from "one to two" is going is the night that Keith was away for work when Mikah was four weeks old. Brooke was having her bedtime snack while Mikah nursed. After Brooke finished her piece of toast, she asked for another. Mikah was mid-feed, but okay..let's do this! Toast made and butter one-handed while not sacrificing the latch. Brooke finishes that piece. "One more please." Are you joking? She's joking right? Nope, a third piece of toast made and buttered with my left hand (I am right handed) all while Mikah continues her feed. I am definitely learning what I am capable of balancing :) Alright, now to 2017! Are you ready?! Jamie and I are PUMPED for resumin...

Food!

Keith and I have made a conscious effort to plan our meals, do grocery shopping trips for the week and stick to these healthy choices. What a stress relief it can be to not have to decide, after getting home from work, what we should make for supper! Here are a couple of our food choices ... BBQ's Chicken with Asparagus and Side Salad Salmon with Sauteed Kale, Mushrooms, and Peppers What do you do during the week to help you and/or your family eat health? Enjoy!
