  • I am all for spontaneity and was never the one to follow rules but Iโ€™ve always realized the importance of having a solid routine right from the moment you wake up and implementing small daily healthy habits throughout the day. This creates the right mindset and sets the tone for the rest of your day. ๐ŸŒž After quitting my cushy 10 year career at a company that spoiled us and leaving a comfortable life 3+ years ago, I realized that NOT having a routine is so much more draining than having a routine to keep your health + wellness in check. Sure, keep the rest of your life spontaneous but you MUST have your non-negotiables. #Selfcare and my #wellbeing is my priority and the pillar that sets the precedent for every other aspect of my life. What's your morning routine like? Here is the morning precious ritual that I've been doing every single day for the past 3 years because it keeps me sane in a fast-paced lifestyle: โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € 1. WAKE UP IN PEACE: no phone, cuddle, stretching, and take my time getting up. ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € 2. HYDRATE: first thing I do when I get out of bed is turn on my kettle for my daily tea (green tea or yerba mate) and make a coffee with 2 scoops of collagen peptides. I've been doing this daily for 3 years and it's made such a difference in my hair, nails, and skin. I swear by collagen. ๐Ÿคž โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € 3. PERSONAL CARE + POOP (YES POOP!!): #guthealth is an important topic in our household and dictates soooo many aspects of your #wellbeing. A healthy & happy gut = healthy & happy you. I can't be around people who don't take care of themselves.๐Ÿ’ฉ #pooppolice โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € 4. RELAX + JOURNAL + PLAN: writing things down is relaxing and manifests your dreams into reality. ๐Ÿ“– โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € 5. GF RESPONSIBILITIES: this is usually when my day begins but I will make breakfast/lunch for Niko on days he has time to eat at home. ๐Ÿ‘ซ And once he leaves the house, I'll start my work day. The great thing about #workingfromhome is that I get to create my own schedule but it does require discipline to maintain and is always a work in progress for me (just like my #fitness routine). ๐Ÿ’ช โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € ...more on the blog @ www.twentyfourcarat.net
  • I eat a lot of the same things everyday and I really love simple foods + simple ingredients. Especially eggs + sourdough toast + avocado. ๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿž๐Ÿฅš Sometimes all together, sometimes separately. But it's always yums. Oh and grass-fed ghee(!!) + toast + himalayan sea salt. Sooo simple but so satisfying. I don't always like to mix too many flavours together because I like to taste alllll my favourite foods. #simplicity๐Ÿ‘Œ #whatsonmyplate #brunch #breakfast #fitfoodie #healthyfood #healthyhabit #wellnesswarrior #feast #bonappetit #feedfeed #foodforfuel #buzzfeast #foodoftheday #guthealth #foodiesofinstagram #holistic #homechef #cyclist #fitgirls #girlswholift #gastropo #antidietculture #intuitiveeating

  • I went to do a fitness assessment yesterday... my resting heart rate + blood pressure was elevated, and I totally failed my core stability test. Honestly I went out tonight before and I did a little too much drinking and partying so next year, I need to make sure to stay disciplined. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ But the rest of my numbers look really great okay and my normal RHR is in the low 50's. Also another reminder to not get so caught up in numbers because they can fluctuate with daily life. My life is super balanced so I'm definitely on that #noguilt train. ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿ’ƒ โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € Nevertheless, I knew my core isn't THAT weak so I was motivated to do some strengthening at home today to see where I am considering how a strong and stable trunk helps to improve performance, decrease chances of injury, and also improves your posture. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € Mine is definitely not as strong as it should be and my legs are super shaky since I've been barely doing any core work the last couple of months (and legs everyday) but muscle memory is so real but I know I just need to stay #consistent. #Cycling does not work your core, glutes, and upper body so those are the areas I focus on when I'm off the bike. It's a nice feeling to be in homeostasis but takes a lot of #discipline to maintain. ๐Ÿ˜Š #resultsdriven #cyclistproblems #fitgirls #cyclist #girlswholift #recoveryjourney #yvrfitfam #traindirty #committofit #healthyliving #girlswithmuscles #equinox #strongwomen #vancouver
  • Happiest birthday to my speedy + #fitspiration friend @zhanna_33! ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚โค๏ธ These photos were taken last summer when I bumped into her on the bridge during an innocent lunch ride and she spontaneously dragged me to Squamish. She said to me something I also say to everyone: "WHY NOT?โ€œ... And then she somehow talked me into a #Vancouver to #Whistler ride a few days later. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ One perk with #fitness being your #lifestyle is that we are always mentally and physically prepared for any adventures that may come up of nowhere. Life is all about adventuring and experiences after all. ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’ช #greatmindsthinkalike โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € I'm more of a #biketouring gal and #ridetoride but I'm always soooo inspired by my friends who race competitively. My jersey pockets will be filled with her gels + champagne (vodka for me) as I get a #freedraft from her while she trains for the UCI World Champs in Sept during the #rbcgranfondo to #whistlerbc. I'll also have a lot of pictures of her booty! ๐Ÿ˜œ Sounds fair, right?! I'm just gonna hang out in the back! ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ #teamcanada #rollingSAG #motivation #committofit #discipline #fitfam #fitgirls #fitmoms #goals #healthylifestyle #womenscycling #womeninsports #enjoythedistance #nevernotriding #outsideisfree #yvrcyclists #goneriding #ifuckinglovefitness
