FINANCIAL FITNESS WITH TANGERINE
When the world is coming at you from every direction, it’s important to make sure all of life’s necessities are in check. For me, living a balanced lifestyle not only means proper nutrition and exercise, but maintaining a healthy financial life. To me, living a balanced lifestyle not only means proper nutrition and exercise, but maintaining a healthy financial life. In order to accomplish this, it’s important that your bank makes things as simple as possible. That’s why I’ve partnered with Tangerine during November for Financial Literacy Month to help me achieve financial well-being.

EARLY TO BED, EARLY TO RISE
Early to bed, early to rise.
With daylight savings now in full effect, the hours of sunshine are becoming limited. Between teaching early morning classes, helping others to achieve their goals, and maintaining my own balanced lifestyle, I can’t rely on the hours of available sun to dictate my schedule.
GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY
First rule to remember. Your thoughts aren’t facts! Say it again. Your thoughts aren’t facts! You can tell yourself in the middle of class over and over that you can’t do one more push-up or you’re not as fit as the person in front of you, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. It’s not a fact. It’s self-sabotage, which is when we go about making sure something we strive for doesn’t happen.

I HAVE A GUT FEELING…
I live by the motto that a good start to your day actually begins the night before. I try to stick to a schedule of early to bed and early to rise, while still leaving enough time in the morning to start the day with focus and purpose.
THE 80/20 RULE
Along with a structured training regimen, I pay close attention to eating clean. I’ve learned that you can undo all the work you do at the gym if you go home and eat poorly, which is why I live by the 80/20 rule. It’s really important to set realistic goals so that way you aren’t discouraged. I eat healthy 80 per cent of the time and allow myself to eat the foods I love – 20 per cent of the time. However, my attitude isn’t to indulge in just anything – it has to be totally worth it. like these…Protein Peanut Butter Cups!

GREENS+, SWEAT, BRUNCH, SLEEP, MY SUNDAY ROUTINE
Our health is something that is so important to us, however we often don’t pay attention or even notice our health until we become sick. We let “I have no time,” “I’m too busy,” “there are more important things to do,” and “I don’t know how” get in our way from doing things to always be healthy and eat right for our bodies. We need to change the context of what our health and wellness mean to us, in order to be nourished.

I was honoured to be a part of Pantene’s biggest breakthrough in Shampoo Innovation, and inspire women to fuel their strong by encouraging them to incorporate fitness as part of their morning routines. It’s a great way to create a ritual, hold yourself accountable and fuel your strong. How do you fuel your strong?
THE POWER OF FERMENTED VEGAN PROTEINS+
Protein supplements have become a staple in my fitness regime for many years now. There’s no better way to start the day or end a workout than with a nutritious smoothie with fermented vegan proteins+. This plant-powered protein keeps my gut healthy and happy, and unlike other vegan protein supplements – it’s fermented, so it doesn’t make me feel bloated! One of my go-to protein shakes is the Chocolate Orange Basil smoothie – it’s delicious and provides me with digestive support and maximum nutrient absorption.
