I don’t know how I’ve missed this up until now but I just found Nerd Fitness!
The energy in this community is fantastic! Super positive and all about “leveling up” your life. I love that. No bullying, just a lot of really positive people and good information presented in a really fun way.
I recommend 7 “Healthy” Foods that Actually Suck to get you started. While I’m not a nerd-core paleo follower, this is exactly the kind of clean eating stuff I’ve been squawking about for the last year or so.
Reading through the forums has me thinking about my own goals. Last year it was to do the 10k Terry Fox run and that was great but this year I really want to try something new that I can get excited about.
My friend Dee and I were talking about doing the CN Tower stair-climb, but that’s in April and considering the state I’m in with the Pneumonia (basically zero and still not back to the gym
), that might be a little ambitious.
Then I found Warrior Dash! This looks like SO much fun and the end of July might not be an unreasonable stretch for training time. (maybe?) Anyone here tried it?

It’s been almost seven years but I finally went out and bought myself some new kicks! (Apparently “kicks” means shoes. It’s hip, like the kids say!)
After my other overly-sentimental post about my gross old sneakers, it seemed appropriate to mention that this enormous transition had finally been made, but I promise I won’t make a habit of posting about my shoes.
Still can’t bring myself to throw them out though. I feel like I should get them one of those glass trophy boxes that people keep game-winning footballs in, or something.
In other news, The Baroness Knows Best has finally been updated! Thanks so much for sending in your questions and please, keep them coming! I’ve just started formatting the next Promises Promises book (yes!) and the advice column was such a fun feature of the first one, (Starting Tomorrow – available in the Promises Shop) I’d like to make it an ongoing thing.






Yeah, where can I buy some of that? Love the little dog walking!
I’m pretty certain I could bottle and sell my metabolism but first I would have to catch it. It moves fast
Thanks James!
Jerky – If you ever manage to catch and bottle that lightening, put me on your sales list.
