Hey Folks! Let's give a warm welcome Karen and Alexandra to the Epic Community!! What's everyone reaching for in 2025? How can we support eachother!?!

I love being outside this time of the year. I can putter in my gardens all day & all evening, BUT with HOT 🥵 weather it is not an option. By 1-2:00 i have to retreat to the house. Then I find myself reaching for snacks. I’m pretty good at choosing fruit or veggies but by evening I’m reaching for salty, carbs because I’m bored. What is everyone else doing to curb the boredom snacking?

When you live in the area during the Calgary Stampede there are pancake breakfasts every where, every day. How can you not indulge in some pancakes, right! Well I did my research of all the events in my area and there were no shortages to pick from. I found the perfect one this morning, at my local health food store. They were serving up protein & gluten free pancakes, with sugar free syrup for the topping! They were delicious! I went for my walk this morning & did my workout before heading to the event, totally guilt free while chowing down my pancakes! Hee Yaw! Folks! Have a wonderful weekend 😊

Why should I drink water? Water is vital to our health. It plays a key role in many of our body's functions, including bringing nutrients to cells, getting rid of wastes, protecting joints and organs, and maintaining body temperature. Water should almost always be your go-to beverage. I am the WORST at drinking water. I am actually the worst for drinking any fluid, period. I can’t seem to get in enough fluids to be adequate. Well that is the change I am going to make. I am going to be consciously working toward getting the recommended amount of WATER in each day and I am inviting you to actively participate in this challenge with me. 2 litres for women and 3 litres for men. Who’s in?

Well wish me luck My first day in years My Plan today is to go for a 10 to 20 min walk and tonight do a 20 min stretch and a short meditation
