Happy #MoveitMondays! How was your weekend? Can you believe that Christmas is officially ten days away?! Honestly, this month has flown by – this time next week I’ll be home in Toronto with my family, cozying up at home and enjoying my couple weeks of chilly, Canadian weather. I can’t believe it! I’m hoping that…
As many of you know I am not a pro-runner or pro-athelete by any means. Let’s be honest, when I was a kid, I usually was the last one chosen in gym class and up until a few years ago the idea of me running seemed like a totally unreachable and unreasonable goal. When people talked about “running”…
This weekend was one of those weekends that was just great. A belated Belgian-Canadian Thanksgiving, good food, family, and an awesome 10k family race on on Sunday morning followed by post-run pasta and a movie night with J that involved popcorn smothered in dark chocolate, pecans and a pinch of pink himalayan sea salt (#yesplease)….
I’m comfortable in my own skin. Most days. Some days are better than others and with some blips on the way, I am moving towards loving my body as it is, right now. Loving ourselves the way we are, in our own skin – period. Summer 2010, Toronto This can be a difficult, an almost…
You know when you wake up on a Monday, already feeling lethargic, and the last thing you want to do is go for a run, jump through a 30 minute workout video or move your body in any way shape or form? We’ve all been there. And to be honest some days or weeks I…
It was family race day this weekend in Belgium and I came in last – well almost. And guess what? I had an absolute blast. J’s family and I decided that it would make of a fun Saturday afternoon to run a 10k race together and you could say that this race was on a bit of…
Confession time. Over the past couple weeks I’ve noticed some of my clothing fitting a little more snug than usual and have also noticed myself slipping into old habits of mindless snacking. You know what I mean. As in you are working on a paper or doing something around the house and all of the…
When I finally gave up the idea of yo-yo crash dieting (they never work – believe me – I’ve tried them all!) I made the promise to myself to enter into a new chapter of my life filled with an abundance of healthy delicious food, enjoyable & sensible activity, freedom of dieting and gaining control over my life! Taking…
After a weekend of family celebrations, indulgences, enjoying that piece of rich chocolate cake for dessert (and that second glass of wine!) my favorite way to start the week is with my morning run. I love running for many reasons – for my health, to pump up my happy endorphins, to take some time for myself, to kick…
I DID IT!! I completed my first 15 km race in Bruges last weekend and I could not be happier that I completed the race!! If you are not acquainted with the beautiful city of Bruges, Belgium, it is a wonderful, quaint Medieval city located in the Flanders region of Belgium. Running with over 4,000 runners through the cobblestone…
On Wednesday evening I finished my first ten km race! In my very first blog post here at Ceara’s Kitchen I discuss how I’ve grown from a state where I’d lose my breath attempting to run to catch the bus at the end of the street towards becoming one of those crazy people – you know who are you…
I’ve discussed on this blog honestly and openly about my relationship with food, weight loss, and healthy living. I wanted to share with the world a few tips that have kept me feeling inspired while I was focusing on losing weight, and even more importantly, how I have continued to live a lifestyle dedicated to…
This is a food blog right? The answer is Yes! Soo why should my first post be on running? Because I want this to be a space where we can talk about food that gives us lots of feel-good energy in order for us to accomplish things we never thought were possible! Like me and running 🙂…
