What’s a pseudo-celebrity? It’s what my husband calls me. He thinks it’s funny that when we go out places people who are in my classes come say hi to me, or people recognize me or my name when I’m in random places. Sometimes they know me as, “That Zumba Girl” or “The Fitness Instructor” but […]

Bluenose Half Marathon 2015
Remember back this winter when I actually thought I was going to show up to a spring race fully trained for it? I amuse myself sometimes. Needless to say, that didn’t happen. First we had the winter that just would end, and I’m a terrible treadmill runner so my training didn’t really start until […]
Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
I’ve got a little secret. Yup, it’s true! I heart hemp hearts. More specifically Manitoba Harvest hemp hearts! For anyone who has never tried hemp hearts, I find they taste a lot like a chopped walnut, others compare them more to a sesame seed or pine nut. Any way you look at it, you can […]

Living An Active Life With Fibromyalgia
Now and again I write about fibromyalgia and what it’s like living with it, but not often. Certainly not often enough considering one reason I started this blog was to show others living with chronic pain that an active life is possible. There have been a number of times I have *said* I was going […]
No Excuses in 2015 with Fit Approach!
Hey 2015, it’s me Suzi. This year I would like to run 2 half marathons, try 3 new races, and get my balance board yoga cert. It would also be super duper awesome if I also did get to go on a trip with J this year. It’s not a resolution, though, just a reminder […]

Do Bondi Bands Stay In Place?
Disclosure: I was provided with this product free of charge through a campaign with Fit Approach and Boni Band in exchange for a review. All opinions expressed are 100% my own. Is it just me, or does the search for the perfect headband never end? I’ve tried many slip less headbands in the past (for […]
Bluenose Half Marathon 2014
Well, I’m going to start off by saying that this week’s vlog is super short. As in less than two minutes short. Why? Well I spent most of the week power working in order to catch up from taking so many days off sick the prior week, which means I didn’t do anything interesting or […]
