Creativity + Strength: #GreyCupFitUp Update!
It’s Friday September 7th and it’s officially day 22 of #GreyCupFitUp! Like many of you reading this, September has gotten me back into a routine. After a summer of travel, indulging and visiting with family and friends a schedule has been a welcome change. It’s taken a few days to figure out which days I can get to the gym and which times work best (I prefer mornings) but I am starting to feel more in control of my #GreyCupFitUp journey! From making better eating choices to finding time to read, journal and attempts to meditate (comment/tweet your tips) I’m figuring it out.
Reading through your tweets it sounds like many of you are feeling the same! Football games, eating out, back to school, high temperatures – you seem to be working through your own hurdles and finding ways to make your health and wellness a priority. What I especially love about this challenge is the ability to learn from others and pickup their best tips and tricks. Last year I learned about two YouTube channels which helped me greatly – this yoga page AND this fitness page from you guys on Twitter. This week you’ve shown creativity in getting your exercise in and shared some healthy meal prep that got me motivated to start making yummy salads at home. Something else I loved this week, your kindness and generosity with yourself and others. Some of you are finding space for self-care and making it a priority when it hasn’t been in the past. Many of you have been encouraging your friends and helping keep them on track. Feeling so encouraged by all of your dedication to this challenge and your progress so far! Cheers to another great week and look forward to seeing your posts/tweets this week! Here is a roundup of some great #GreyCupFitUp Tweets which might spark an idea in you like many have done for me.
It's going to be a beautiful day to head to @corn_maze with my hubby. Looking forward to getting some good #GreyCupFitUp in and soak up a little vitamin D in the sunshine. #Yeg

#GreyCupFitUp Day 19:
How does one find a way to get exercise in each day while taking 5 courses? By parking 20 minutes away from school and walking to and from class!
Also got in a good arm workout at the gym, with some cardio warmup and cooldown.
Over 11,000 steps today!

Started my day by hitting chest at the gym, taking the dogs for a long walk, and enjoying a decent breakfast (scrambled eggs, protein shake, coffee).
Now I won't feel so bad enjoying some pizza and @kichesippibeer at the @TSN1200 #NFLKickOff party tonight!#GreyCupFitUp

Day 18- #GreyCupFitUp Today is a relax day. Healthy eating, massage after work. Days are getting shorter, tougher to get those walks in after work. Have to find something new for exercise.

Hiked Pyramid Overlook yesterday and Wilcox Pass today and that means @taylorcurrah and I have hit all six red chairs in @JasperNP! What next?

Today I am going to get out our CFL football and play a little catch with my daughter after a 20 minute walk. This picture was taken at the Party in the Park before the Riders game on August 19th. Saskatchewan has won 3 in a row so all is well in Riderville. #GreyCupFitUp pic.twitter.com/aSQLQVj34d
