• Happy New Year!

  Posted at 9:07 AM by morningdaydreams, on January 2, 2018

  Last month was kind of crazy! I have about 5 blog post drafts on the go, but have yet to have time to sit down an really write anything as of late. I know some people are all poo-poo about new years resolutions, but I love writing down a few goals and have an opportunity to look back on the past year.

  You can check out my 2017 New Years Blog post, by clicking here. One of my goals was to hustle on the job front. What I didn’t know last January, was that this wasn’t just going to be for my training business, IMPROVE Fitness, but also two MLMs that I later joined and I am LOVING working for, a part-time job and being a part-time stay at home mom.

  I am also happy to report that 2017 may have been one of my best fitness years as of yet. My businesses have made me focus on self improvement and I rocked it in 2017. With the recent announcement of our second pregnancy, fitness is still on-going but won’t be on the goals list until post-baby. I am just so happy to have Isagenix ready and waiting for when it is go time to ditch the extra baby pounds.

  So what is up for 2018?

  • Get Focused. Yes, this was a goal last year, but I mean in a different way. I took on a lot in 2017 and feel like I didn’t have a great plan in place to balance it all. So this year I am going to get focused and make sure I can rock it in ALL of my business ventures and balance life at home with B.
  • Stay Healthy. So far, this pregnancy has been bringing on some BRUTAL cravings. I am not really one to live on a diet of pasta and sour keys, even when pregnant. So my goal is to clean up my diet and eat some real food as this baby grows.
  • Ditch Negativity. I am over not believing in myself. I am here to win at everything I do and I refuse to doubt myself any more.
  • Create a Routine. Working from home is amazing, but it is a lot harder to find a routine when the laundry and dirty dishes call your name when you are trying to focus on business. The last few months have been a whirlwind, so I am in need of finding a routine that works for me and my family!

  Alright 2018. Here I come. Watch out!

  Until next time day dreamers.

• Deep breaths.

  Posted at 9:30 AM by morningdaydreams, on November 23, 2017

  Ever feel like you sometimes have to spiral a bit before things can go forward and be amazing. I have had a lot going on lately. Toddler troubles. Work stress. Just general life stress. So the other day, I was at my low point. I sat at my dining table chatting with my husband, then just sobbing over everything.

  About 20 minutes later, my hubby lands a huge job for his business. The next day I went for it as a LipSence Distributor and the day after that I got a new client for my personal training business. As usual my tears bring good things.

  This was true even when I was in school. I would be so worked up with stress, have a meltdown with my mum on the phone then crank out 5 papers and ace 2 exams the next day.

  So, sometimes you have to get to that point of feeling like WHY ME, WHY is nothing working. For everything to fall into place.

  So keep your head up. Cry if you want to, take a walk, go for a swing at the park then move on, move forward and kick butt.

  

  Deep breath. Go for a swing. HUSTLE!

  Until next time day dreamers.

• 3 years as your wife.

  Posted at 9:22 AM by morningdaydreams, on September 6, 2017

  I will likely say this every year that passes, but how are we already celebrating our third anniversary?? Some days it feels like yesterday I was walking down the aisle and having the greatest party of my life.

  Each year brings new adventures and makes me appreciate us even more. So much has changed in three years, with B, with our home, with our jobs. I can only hope the next three years will bring as much excitement and change!

  Happy anniversary D. I love you.

  – A

  

  

  

  

  Until next time day dreamers.

• 2017, let the fun begin!

  Posted at 11:07 AM by morningdaydreams, on January 4, 2017

  I am a few days late with my annual New Years post, but I was at home enjoying a few more days with my family before everything kicked off. As usual I love looking back at my resolutions from the previous year. To see my 2016 post, click here.

  I made 3 resolutions last year, make the most of motherhood, work hard to lose the baby weight and go vegan. I know a lot of not so great things happened in 2016, but for me personally it was a great year and I kicked butt at all of my resolutions.

  My role as mom changes with every stage of development, but I am loving every moment. By the end of April I was below pre-pregnancy weight and I have been a happy as can be vegan for a full year now. Go me!

  So whats up for 2017?

  • Work life. 2016 was all about baby, 2017 is about getting back to work. I resigned from my previous job so we could move to our dream home. I am working hard and handing out resumes like crazy and I am working on a little side project, more to come on this later.
  • Keep focused. After breaking my wrist in May, my fitness got slightly derailed. I am on the path to full recovery, so I have rejoined a box and I am staying focused on my fitness goals, even if I have to modify movements.
  • Relationship focus. Like I said, 2016 was all about baby. So 2017 I am working hard to make more time for date nights, try not to get stressed out about every little detail in our lives and just enjoy being husband and wife.
  • Travel. The never-ending life goal. I am hoping everything will settle down in our lives. 2016 had a lot of changes with a baby and a new home. This year I want to take some time to travel, even if that its just locally.

  I am happy with these resolutions/intentions/aspirations! Happy 2017 everyone!

   

  

  This is what happens when you take all your New Years Eve pictures on snapchat… and only save the one of you and your cat =P

   

  Until next time day dreamers.

• We are still here!

  Posted at 3:48 PM by morningdaydreams, on August 18, 2016

  Every so often I just can’t bring myself to write. I have been preoccupied with pretty much everything else happening in my life, so I decided to put writing on the back burner for a bit. It has been a crazy summer filled with changes, trips to Muskoka and a whole lot of mom and baby fun. Trying to find time to update you all was getting tougher and tougher, so I decided to step away for a few weeks.

  The craziness of the summer is not quite over, so I won’t be posting too much, but I promise to catch you all up on what we have been up to and only one more week until another Baby B update (ALREADY!!).

  Until next time day dreamers.

• Wedding love, a proposal.

  Posted at 2:49 PM by morningdaydreams, on July 17, 2015

  This morning I was honoured to be a part of a huge surprise for one of my besties. A small group of friends and family gathered at E’s family business in Markham to help celebrate this special moment.

  C was kind enough to invite me to the proposal and despite the bright and early deadline to arrive, we were a happy group just to be involved. After a very confused E walked in (thinking she was having another Friday at the office) C had some beautiful words to say about my gorgeous friend and he popped the question. She of course said yes!!!

  E & C I am so happy for you both and I cannot wait to help you two plan for the big day!!! Love you!

  

  The happy couple!

   

  

  Everyone wants to see the ring!

  Until next time day dreamers!

• 6 years.

  Posted at 9:15 AM by morningdaydreams, on July 4, 2014

  Happy 6th anniversary to my love!

  I cannot believe how time flies. I feel like it was yesterday that we were taking strolls and swinging in hammocks up in Muskoka. Thinking about the past 6 years is pretty crazy and to think only two more months before you are stuck with this gal forever! Here’s to us!

  Love you D.

  xoxo

• 100 days of healthy.

  Posted at 8:05 PM by morningdaydreams, on June 10, 2014

  Hello Day Dreamers!

  As a part of my 100 days of healthy working out has been on the to-do list. However, as I am still busy with work, getting to the gym 5-6 times a week hasn’t been a possibility, but that doesn’t mean you can’t fit in a good work out. Last weekend D & I did a bit of at home cross fit. Here is what we did:

  • 75 Kettle Ball swings (don’t have kettle balls, use regular weights)
  • 400m run
  • 100 single skips (or 75 double unders)
  • 400m run
  • 50 burpees

  The great thing about cross fit is you will do high intensity for short periods of time. When you don’t have a lot of time, working in quick 20 minute work outs such as this make a huge difference!

  Next step on my list weight watchers. I am feeling great with out booze or junk food and I am loving my cross fit workouts. Next up a little help with portion control! #100DaysOfHeathy is coming along quite nicely!

  Until next time day dreamers!
