September 1km Challenge - join us!

By
Many people fear September first because it means the return of routine, cooler weather, and shorter days. Although I can't do anything about the cooler weather (unless to help you get excited about ski season!!!) or the decreasing daylight, I can do my best to get you EXCITED about hopping back into a healthier routine! I think it is safe to say that most of us enjoy a few extra treats, a little less sleep, and perhaps less structured exercise during the summer months. September is the perfect time to hop back onto the fit bandwagon and create some new great habits!

Through our September 1km Challenge, we want to help you move every day! Your goal will be to walk, jog, or run for a minimum of one kilometre each day in September! That is 30km spread across one month. 
Pretty amazing!

 You do not need to live in Edmonton, or even have ever attended a Fit Your Life class. This Challenge is open to everyone around the globe. Let's get moving!

 How it works:

  1. Decide that you can totally achieve this!
  2. Sign up for just $5 through MindBody here. Make an account if you do not already have one, go under Appointments, purchase the September 1km Challenge, and "book" into an open time slot - the time/date is not important.
  3. Mark your calendar to start moving on Friday, September 1, 2017!
  4. Let us know how you are getting your kilos in! There will be random "check-in" opportunities throughout the month, as we will not ask you to check-in daily. Some people want the accountability of verbalizing daily and others that would be a chore. The closed FB group (link below) will be the perfect place for those check-ins or use #fylchallenge on IG!

Throughout the challenge, we want to encourage and motivate you! The best ways to follow along and be accountable to yourself and the others participating will be though our closed Fit Moms' Chat Facebook group. Please join! ..and NO you do not need to be a mom to join. You can also follow along on Instagram @fityourlifeyeg and use the hashtag #fylchallenge and our public Facebook page here!

 If you miss a day, you can make it up the following day by completing two kilometres. We encourage you to only do this a maximum of twice. Remember, it is only 1km per day and can be broken up into 4x250m, 2x500m, etc if needed!

 Also!! What is a challenge without a little external and tangible motivation? That's right! There will be prizes!! So sign up now and let's make this an awesome month together!

Kellie's Favourite "Treats"

By
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?!

By
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...
