Saghi: Wedding Shower + Time Out
This past week has been awesome! I had my bridal shower last Sunday. I was certainly showered with gifts and lots of love, but I was also showered with a lot of positive comments about my weight and figure. Some said they couldn’t believe how much I’ve changed and how great I look. Hard work is paying off! I work at Sick Kids and for the month of May our hospital is participating in an Inter-Hospital Health Challenge. Did I sign up? You bet I did! Along with my other Child Life Specialist colleagues, we have created two teams and are determined to win! Every day we log in and track the amount of minutes we’ve been active, the number of veggies and fruits we’ve...
Read MoreSaghi: Hungry For Change
What a week! I wasn’t feeling well for a few days, so I missed my cardio and strength training sessions last week. So what do I do while resting on the couch? Watch a documentary on healthy eating of course. If I can’t work out I might as well learn more about nutrition. I had heard about this documentary called Hungry for Change. I decided to watch it. All I can say about it is that it was a MAJOR eye opener! Most of you know I have a weak spot for baked goods and other sweets… let’s just say I think twice now when I walk by a Tim Hortons or Starbucks when I get my cravings. I strongly recommend this documentary to anyone who wants to learn more...
Read MoreSaghi: Pure + Simple and Feel Good Guru
I wrapped up last week’s diary entry mentioning my transition into using natural beauty products, and the natural facial I was planning to get at Pure + Simple. All I can say about the facial is: Ah-mazing! I chose the super hydrating facial that replenishes and restores the skin’s water content, while unclogging pores. It was a one hour treatment that left my face feeling clean and super moisturized! I may have been their ideal customer that day, as I purchased a facial cleanser, exfoliator, serum, cream and lip balm. I’m obsessed with putting vaseline on my lips before bed but I have recently learned that vaseline does not get absorbed into the lips...

I want to start off by telling you about my favourite breakfast smoothie! I made it this morning and finished every drop of it! I blended a small banana, 3 strawberries, a handful of spinach, 1/2 cup of almond milk and 1 tbsp of hemp seeds. I had it with a rice cake and natural peanut butter. Jess says to have produce at every meal, so I’ve been playing around with my greens and fruits for breakfast, trying to find something that is quick, clean and filling. Smoothies are working for me! One of the things I appreciate about Jess is her honesty and no-bullshit attitude. I was honest with her in letting her know I indulged in a Tim Horton’s whole grain blueberry...
Read MoreNew Video – Beginner Strength Workout
Here is a complete circuit, appropriate for the beginner or even intermediate for a quick butt-kicking. You will hit every part of the body, and keep the heart rate up! Tighten, tone, strengthen, and blast fat. Safe for post-pregnancy, too (once your doctor gives you the go ahead, of course). So follow along. I had a tricky time with music (apparently we are not allowed to play music in our videos anymore) so if it disappears, I’ll replace it with some other tunes. Work hard!
