After coming home from Italy, I've found it difficult to get back into the strength training routine. I'm a cardio lover, but sometimes weights can get boring/tedious for me. And so I just kind of ignored all strength training (except for those push ups, of course!). I've found myself facing…
As of about ten minutes ago... I successfully completed the One Hundred Push Up Challenge!!! (Cue banners, streamers, balloons, flashy lights etc etc). Wow. It's certainly taken me a while to complete that 6-week program, considering I began it mid-June. However, I did take a 3-week hiatus in August for…
This was my first week back at university, and I have to say, it's shaping up to look like a very full but fantastic term. I'm taking Investigative Journalism on Monday nights (taught by the managing editor for CBC), Reading & Writing Online (my first ever online course), Rhetorics of…

At one time or another all of us have been in a situation where we either voluntarily, or are forced because of the expectations of the social situation, try a food or drink that is a ‘challenge to the palate’. Sagan recalls a family trip we all made to the…
Sagan and I sometimes go grocery shopping together and she often takes a very critical eye of the ingredients in bread. Being the one in the family who is the ‘bread winner’, I take a critical eye of the price of bread nowadays. Where we live a large loaf of…
