This is a quick post just to keep everyone up-to-date. I’m down to 145 pounds and have lost 15 pounds since starting this. I have 5 pounds to go to reach my goal of losing 20 pounds! I’m pretty excited about that!
This has been all about perseverance and working through every single temptation […]
Since I haven’t been doing my food journaling any longer and making that accessible. Many have been wondering what am I actually eating that is helping me lose weight? Honestly, it varies day to day but the gist of it is the same. I am never hungry, I’m not taking any “magic pills”. I am […]
Hi Everyone! It’s been a while but I’m still here. While I am always committed to healthy living and eating clean I found the summer to be a difficult time to shed any extra pounds. Between having all four kids home for some family fun time and hurting my leg and ankle the summer was […]
Many people have been asking me for recipes, recipes and more recipes coupled with “what do you eat for dinner?” Let me tell you, it is ever so glamorous. It all starts around 4pm (sometimes a little later) with “oh, ef…I need to make dinner” and then I procrastinate a bit hoping that the clean […]
For the last few weeks I’ve been trying to write a blog post about getting back on track. I spent May working really hard and was rewarded with fabulous results. Then June hit and life got crazy hectic again but I maintained my weight loss. And then July…oh July! I had all four kids […]
Ladies and Gentlemen, one of my health secrets revealed. Lemon Water.
OK, it’s not that big of a secret but I swear by it. If you know me, you’ve heard me say it over and over again “are you drinking your lemon water in the morning?” Seriously, ask my friends. Ask my clients. […]
Over the last two weeks life has been hectic. I haven’t given an update because I’ve slowed things down a bit and was refocusing. Working on balancing combining my busy life and all the exercise I would love to be doing! If I could I’d be exercising everyday still but this isn’t feasible with our […]
We have all seen the ads on our Facebook feeds:
“the magic pill that J.Lo used”
or the headline on our favorite fitness magazine:
“lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks”,
“lose 4 inches by eating this food alone”
And I’m certain we have all tried one of the high-protein, […]
My first goal was to lose 10 pounds in 4 weeks. While my scale doesn’t actually read that I’ve lost 10 pounds my fitness evaluation reveals that I have lost 10 pounds of body fat, I’ve gained 1.5 pounds of muscle and I’ve brought my overall fat percentage down from 37% to 32%.
So this […]
Once again, I had a busy week but I managed to stay on track and see results. This week I lost 1.2 pounds for a grand total of 9 pounds down. The even better news is that my fat % is down which means I have built more muscle! My first smaller weight loss goal […]

In January 2013 I realized I needed to do something to improve my health. I spent 2012 on maternity leave and often neglected taking care of my own health (sleepless nights and caring for a tiny human will do that!). Not to mention the many years before that where health was at the bottom of my list of priorities. Luckily, I discovered Lisa's 30 day green smoothie challenge. The recipes were incredible and a green smoothie drinker was born! But I didn't stop there. Starting each day in such a healthy way led me to consult with a naturopath (it would have been Lisa if we were in the same city), do an elimination diet, and discover that I have sensitivities to wheat and milk. I changed to a whole foods-based diet (most of the time) and took up running. In the span of 8.5 months I went from being tired and sluggish on the couch (literally - I could run for one minute at a time before having to walk) to having enough energy to run the Detroit International Half Marathon. I actually RAN the whole thing! And I lost almost 60lbs along the way! Thank you, Lisa, for being my catalyst. Your challenge kept me interested in a new way of living and saved me! I continue to drink a green smoothie every day for breakfast. What a wonderful way to start each day!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!Imogen Meloche Windsor, Ontario
