Happy Sunday All!
Last week, I struggled with winter
I am a four-seasons gal, and I love walking in the snow, bundling up cozy by the fire, having a nice coffee and staring out my window marveling at nature's glory. I loved the snowstorm so much, and I loved sledding with Max on Family Day
The work week hit different. Winter felt like a chore. Immovable streets, unpleasant sidewalks, freezing cold temperatures. It is fine and dandy to say the days are getting longer and spring is just over a month away and to appreciate all you have...It is also ok to inwardly bitch about winter a little.
Then Canada Won the 4 Nations and today it was sunny, and my mood shifted.
That's life.
We are down, and then we are up.
If you have felt a little housebound and not getting enough sunlight, here are a few tips:
- Explore the Exercise Snacks channel in the portal - this week I am doing a new Snack every single day (sometimes two). I KNOW this changes my whole day
- Eat for mental health - food does affect our mental health. The Healthy Six diet of protein, fibre and health fat is a great start
- Call a friend - I find little pop shots of connection fill my cup
- Come to a live class - and do the Canada Rocks Cycle (again? :-)
- Hydrate and dry brush - your skin is dry from winter. Up your water intake, and consider a little self-care with dry brushing which also helps your lymphatic system!
- Rest more. Animals hibernate. We should too.

If someone asks you about our community, and why you are so fit tell them this:
- It is Content, Consistency and Community - I feel accountable to exercise and striving for a healthier life because of the FITFAM
- It is less than 5 dollars a day.
- Yes, it is more expensive than Planet Fitness. But it isn't a gym. It is alifestyle community
- Classes are challenging, but also for all levels - and the portal is full of small programs to get you started.
- You have nothing to lose - try it for a month, and you will see.
Then send them this email to that friend
With health and gratitude
