This magical forest in the middle of the city is just a deep, peaceful exhale. No kidding, it really makes me breathe easy and I come very close to feelings of pure joy.

It goes on forever and there is just something special about it…at least that’s what my heart tells me.

I can’t help but think one of the many reasons we have such a lack of connection and such profound greed from all of these tech bros, billionaires and politicians (I am aware these categories are rapidly overlapping) is the
total disregard for the natural world around them.

Unless it’s a golf course (and don’t get me started on that) most of them never lace up and go for a walk or a hike. They just r**e and piledge the world around them with total disregard for life…well, any life other than their’s.

If it ever catches up to them and there is any justice, forget prison cells, hold them captive in the middle of a forest alone….but not my forest. 😇 😈

Want to become fitter, stronger, have more energy…

The key to getting there is consistency. Repeating the same thing every week (adding variety of course) until three months from now, we see change! I think this is the most important rule in fitness.

Self care is really about taking action to ensure your body, mind and spirit are being cared for. And self care is often about hard work and doing things that aren’t comfortable or fun. That’s not to say that some days you may just need a cup of tea and a hug but then you get back to it.

No grand gestures, just consistent small steps towards the changes you’d like to see.

Time will pass anyway so where will you be three months from now?

Neighbourhood vibes

Don’t forget to stop and look up.
Pause.
Take it in.
Exhale and relax your shoulders down.
I can’t think of anything more important.

I absolutely adore all of the garden treasures. Best time of the year. Lemon basil and the best tomatoes I’ve ever had…all on a smidge of goat cheese.

I opened my studio door to find this!

This morning I locked my pup out of the workout studio (she’s shedding like crazy) and heard her crying at the door.
I guess she’s explored her legal rights as an employee and is now taking it to the streets. 🪧

I think Sam has been whispering in her ear.

Lots of lifting of heavy things
Landscaping a yard that has three shady, massive spruce trees that drop needles and cones. Next year the ground cover and plants will make it even better. May add a water feature.

It’s chevre like cheese that tastes INCREDIBLE! I anticipate a lot of eye rolls 🙄 🤭 😊 when I say it’s made from tofu, herbs and spices. Simple to make and loaded with protein.

I have a hard time with dairy and never substitute but this is next level. Tastes like cheese and same smooth texture.

Recipe from The Edgy Veg and the author is CANADIAN!

New year, new kicks!

The staff at Rbodies Fitness would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a very Merry Restmas.

Equal parts connection, movement and rest.

As we look back over 2024 with gratitude, we’re going to carve out some holiday time to reflect and refresh for the coming year.

Yes, that will include napping.

Call it Savasana and grab your mat and bolster or embrace the nap and cuddle up with a duvet and pillow.

Family time, long walks and rest.

Yesterdays walk with the pup. We’re trying to walk to the store …40 minutes there and back (90 minutes with the pup) instead of always driving. That way we get time to walk and chat as well as carry loads and strengthen our bones. 💀

Don’t buy what they’re selling you about aging. Define it for yourself! Be a badass like Julia!
