Two sisters, making new self-improvement pledges each month
Over the last 8 or 9 years, I seem to have developed seasonal allergies. It took me a while to figure it out, partly because I thought I just had colds from all the children at work and also because I frequently would get a monster headache (a migraine) rather than the typical sneezing and …
Alternate title: Downward Facing Dog Hair (because that's what I saw a lot of every time I was down on my mat 😂) This month has certainly not gone quite as expected. The routine I had established in January and February of starting each day with 5 minutes of yoga has been thrown off kilter by …
When I was first envisioning the actions I would take to reach this month's mini pledges, I thought that the spring weather would be luring me outside more. That has not been the case! Early spring in Calgary is full of surprises: sunshine and warm temperatures one day, blizzard conditions the next, and icy patches …
What Passed and What Did Not 😉 The somewhat nitty-gritty on how the February food reintroductions went If you're here, it means you're probably interested in more details on my experience reintroducing foods after a 2+ week elimination diet. One thing I tried to do throughout the month was to eat more mindfully and chew …
I can't believe we've had our blog going for over one month already. The last month went by really fast! Now it's time to share with you how my pledge for February went (if you haven't read it yet, you can find my original pledge here and my mid-month update here). The focus area for …
How is it that February is only 2 to 3 days shorter than the other months, and yet it feels like the month just flies by?? We had a few hiccups this month implementing our meal plan pledge, but overall we stuck to the plan. In my mid month update, I realized that my goal …
March 2018 Focus Area: Movement Background Information (i.e., the method to my March Pledge madness): In general, I would say I'm known for being pretty active, though, in all honesty, I must admit to having my sedentary days. Additionally, while I may be quite active in some areas (i.e., walking, hiking, cycling) I do not …
March 2018 Focus Area: Movement Background Information: I wasn't too sure where to begin with this post. Everyone knows that a regular exercise routine has so many benefits, and yet so many of us struggle to make this a reality. I am one of those people who, for various reasons, have let the amount of …
How is it *past* the middle of February already?!? So, I am writing this on February 17th, but I will (mostly) only update you as far as the 14th (i.e., I won't tell you how the reintroductions have gone so far... gotta keep you wanting more. Haha!). In this post, I will be letting you …

February 2018 Focus Area: Food/Fuel ISSUE(S): I’m pretty confident that I have a high pain tolerance (for example, I poured nearly boiling hot water on my finger the other day and barely muttered an “ow”. I proceeded to finish what I was doing and then figured it would be prudent to run it under cold …
