I’ve always had high standards for myself growing up. I must have watched my dad, being an athlete, maintain a certain discipline and consistency to achieve the level of work he put into his wellbeing. You can’t reach those levels of greatness without setting a benchmark for your efforts. The
Happy September! Summer is NOT over yet …until we cannot cycle in shorts and tank tops anymore. Last year, I was still riding in barely nothing until mid-October. I hope this year’s season will last as long … but that also means more tanlines. If I wasn’t deathly afraid of
Happy August! Where has July gone? I know I had one hell of a month but honestly, all I remember was cycling and looking forward to my bike rides. Harharhar. It rained in Vancouver today too— our first rain fall in a month and I totally felt at home. My
This month has been a whirlwind and I didn’t even realize it’s almost over! I did my second Grouse Grind of the season this morning! I hang my head in shame because by this time last year, I already did the Grind about 10 times. Last year, my co-workers and
$10.4 million dollars and 275km later… the 2013 BC Ride to Conquer Cancer has been CONQUERED! Do you have anything in your life that you love so much or that you are so passionate about that you will endure everything and anything just to do it? I do and that is cycling. The
Cycling: Everything must fit into pockets: Super basic: Helmet, water bottle, gloves and sports watch. Repair kit & bandaids. I’ve never had to use mine but it’s something you should always carry. Plus I have something called a Boyfriend who does all my repairs for me. Teehee. Kleenex for my
All habits, even good habits can die. Working out consistently, eating clean and living a healthy lifestyle could have been your daily routine but if your minds start to wander and lose focus, all those habits can start disappearing and you’ll soon find yourself back to square one. You can have
I know fruit is full of sugar and should be eaten in moderation but the berries, grapes and some of the bananas are for freezing, apples are for apple crisp and oranges are for indulging. I dropped by the Vancouver Bike show today and on display was Ryder Hesjedal sexy
I found this old entry in my drafts folder I forgot to publish! Here goes.

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.
