How to have fun with your food

April 5, 2014 2 Comments

Samantha Lee is a mother of two, who definitely has fun with food as she creates magical and so imaginative plates of delicious looking eats for her daughters. She photographs them and uploads them to Instagram, where I found her!

Samantha describes that she draws out her ideas onto paper then uses scissors, knives and toothpicks as her tools, not only to stay organized but to prevent food wastage.

Now that’s how to have fun with your food. I want to go over to her house for lunch! How fun. Check out her instagram for more photos.

CrossFit Style Workout

April 4, 2014 No Comments

I haven’t joined CrossFit and it’s really close by. I cannot get over the cost compared to Ontario. It’s more than double. I love the CrossFit atmosphere and I miss it tremendously. As much as I’d love to join, to meet new friendsÂ â€” I just can’t take that expense on right now, especially since we have a free gym in our complex. Instead, I’ve been making up my own CrossFit style workouts: 20 minute arm workout // Speedy treadmill workout // 30 minute treadmill workout. Sorta.

My arms were still a little sore from the 20 minute arm workout I did the other day, but I put together this workout, not knowing how long it would take me. It’s been months since I did an intense workout like this.

CrossFit Style Workout, CrossFit, workout at home, You better believe I scratched out 150 squats and put it down to 100. Ain’t no way I would’ve liked that.

I managed to complete it in 34 minutes. Can you beat my time? Do the workout and post your times in the comments!

How are you staying fit today?
I’m thinking of doing a 45 minute treadmill run. I don’t care how many miles/kilometers I do, I want to build up my running endurance.

How many days in a week do you workout?
Right now I only go 3-4x/week. Yikes.

What is your favourite type of way to workout? Cardio? Weights? Abs? A mixture of it all?
I really enjoy a mixture of weights, cardio and gymnastics. I love confusing my body and never plateauing. That’s why I love CrossFit.

What is your most hated of exercises?
I really disliked wall balls at CrossFit.
