When I was in Europe, I did a few cycling trips, one of them was making the pilgrimage up Mont Ventoux in Southern France. That ride roused me to indulge in a new bike when I came home… well, that is a little white lie because I was already planning to buy a
Today when I was in a lot of pain doing a leg circuit that included heavy Front Squats, Sumo Squats, Step Ups and Wall Sits, I kept on reminding myself that it was suppose to feel like this. My legs were suppose to burn. My muscles were suppose to be
The one thing that I have learned from cycling and exercise: Mindfulness. A mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique. When was the last time you slowed down and really
Working out is 80% mental. Workout harder. Not longer. Skipping makes you want to pee. Foam-roll your shins!! There is more to life than working out. Missing one workout isn’t going to affect you. Although not doing any high intensity interval training for 3+ weeks and trying to get back into
I was reading 100 Ways To Be Flawless on Thought Catalog and wanted to point out my favorites and comment on others: 4. Learn to tolerate people. You won’t like everyone, and that’s okay. But that’s no reason to be rude. Life is too short so you should only surround
These days, having a rich life means to live a fulfilling life. How do you fill your days? Do you live a fulfilled life and do what makes you happy on a daily basis? Here is how I live a fulfilling life: Do what you LOVE what you do. If
I cycle for the freedom, not to lose weight. I run to improve my race time, not to lose weight. I lift for gains, not to lose weight. I do yoga because it’s meditative, not to lose weight. I exercise because it gives me more energy, not to lose weight.
I Feed My Boyfriend Unhealthy Food, Because If He Loses Weight, He’ll Leave Me – This is horrible and selfish. Please don’t ever do this. Fasted Cardio: Good or Bad? This is an oldie but I forgot I had it bookmarked in my reader. Fasted cardio is the biggest waste
My boyfriend for cooking me healthy and delicious, homemade meals. I know he’s sometimes tempted to throw a stick of butter but he doesn’t… for me. My friends for being fit, healthy and good influences. The people you spend the most time with affects your life in every way. My blog for
2013 was another amazing year that passed by in a blink of an eye. Quickly skimming through my 2013 blog archives, I already knew it was another successful year for me in health and fitness. I met many passionate and inspiring people, stayed motivated and committed, trained consistently, trained like
Chronic dieter? Obsessed with your weight? Do the holidays stress you out? Well fear no more because you only need to remember one thing to stay sane through the holidays: It’s only a week of festivities! Well, unless you are eating processed junk 20x a day… but if you are
…I workout anyway. As much as I fucking love fitness, there are days when I just DON’T want to workout at all. When I don’t feel like working out out, I try not to think too much of it or I will just start coming up with excuses and give myself
Hi! I am Kate. I walk the walk and I talk the talk. I’ve been living a self-proclaimed “effortlessly” fit and healthy lifestyle for the last decade. This blog has been around since 2005 and serves as an archive for my journey.
I’ve been biohacking since 2014. I believe we need a balance of modern medicine and holistic healing to thrive in our world today.
I do NOT diet, count calories, watch my macros, nor do I beat myself up if I don’t workout daily. Eating well, cooking nutritious and delicious meals, and exercise is as second nature to me as brushing my teeth. How? I focussed on habits and lifestyle instead of outcomes. Wellness shouldn’t be hard!
