Back on Track!

Hi city peeps! We've missed you this summer! Sorry for being MIA for most of it (2 months off, holy smokes! where did the time go?), but we hope you had a great one :) 

I have a confession to make. This past month, I completely fell off the bandwagon. No scheduled workouts, no fitness classes, and thus, no blog posts...and I don't feel guilty. Not one bit!

Between vacation, eating out all the time, and galavanting this summer, there's been very little time left for working out. Oh who am I kidding, I've just been lazy about it. It's summer, c'est la vie.

What I can say is, even though I haven't kept up with my usual structured workouts, I find myself gravitate towards active things to do while on vacation. Here are some tips from our previous posts on how to keep fit while on vacation (in Vegas and on a winter getaway). On my latest adventure to Hawaii, I found myself walking everywhere, swimming almost everyday, jogging along the beach, and of course hiking!

Motivation Mondays: Resolution Check-In

Source

Hi friends! Happy Motivation Monday! Let's start the week strong and inspired by reviewing our accomplishments thus far and goals for ourselves. It wasn't too long ago we all made New Years resolutions to cut sugar from our diets, eat more greens and exercise AT LEAST 4 times a week. How are your resolutions coming along? I know it's easy to fall off the wagon but let's not forget to get back on!

For those of you that have abandoned your resolutions and vow to do it right next year, you're not alone! According to a 3 year study conducted by Gold's Gym, February 7th has been dubbed as the 'fitness cliff' -  the day most resolutions are ditched and unhealthy habits are embraced with familiarity and comfort [source]. Most people give up on resolutions for one reason or another. Let's face it, change is hard! But with the right amount of work and effort success can be yours!

February Kickoff: Librarians Unite!

Hi guys! How are you doing? :) Happy Fit & Fab February!

Every year, the Ontario Library Association (OLA) holds its annual 3-day Super Conference in Toronto where librarians from all across Canada gather to do what we do best..um, no, not shush each other, but share ideas on how we can continue to educate, entertain, and empower (#SC13Theme). Not to mention free books & author signings!! Yes, that kind of stuff makes us very happy. And yes, we are librarians, in case you didn't believe it the first time we told ya.

So we took a day away from the reference desk and ventured off to the Super Conference! 

*Side note: It's a Super conference because librarians are superheroes. Don't believe me? Read this: 20 heroic librarians who save the world.
