Last week I celebrated my 30th Birthday! A huge thank you to all my friends who came out to celebrate my big Champagne day. We enjoyed some bubbly, a backyard party and even a little cake. Out on the town we trotted and certainly did make it a night to remember!
Thoughts about entering a new decade have occupied my mind several times this summer. I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting about my 29th year. One word sums them up, accomplishment. With 6 years of successful self employment behind me I felt that 2011 was my year to shine!
In my 29th year I made becoming fit a huge priority in my life, and completely fell in love with Dynamic Fitness. Prior to finding this gym I was sporadic with fitness and seemed to squeeze the gym in whenever I could and/or felt like it. The thing I enjoy most about Dynamic Fitness is the variety in schedule. Each class is unique and challenging providing an overall body workout. It really does whip you into shape and makes you think like an athlete!
Also in my 29th year I was honored to accept the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award for PEI at the national Gala in Saskatoon. With the help of my Nutritionist colleagues across the country, the online weight loss program SeeResults is changing the way Canadians eat. I’ve welcomed 5 Registered Holistic Nutritionists aboard team SeeResults with offices spanning from Charlottetown to Calgary. They believe in my vision for a healthier Canada and aim to inspire each client they work with.
So what are my thoughts on 30? Here’s my Bucket List
- Pearl Jam concert September 11th, Air Canada Center Toronto. Finally going to see my favorite band play live, it’s been on my bucket list for 15 years and best of all my brother and sister are also going!
- Bike the TipToTip4Africa bike race, 273km in 3 days, October 9-11th. As a bike enthusiast I’ve decided this will be my year to tackle the big race. I’m really looking forward to raising money to build wells for communities in Africa. Everyone should have access to clean drinking water. It’s a fundraiser very dear to my heart.
- Fitness Model Photo Shoot, just to keep me honest. Now that I’m feeling Dynamically Fit it’s time to capture this look on camera. I’ll be posing for local award winning photographer Rachel Peters later this fall. As an 
obesity survivor, over 100 pounds lost, this photo shoot will be monumental.
- Travel to Margaret’s Island, Budapest for a Spa Vacation. Well deserved and for the love of travel, enough said ;)
Yes I‘m welcoming the next decade with arms wide open. Fully ready to continue on my path of educating and inspiring each person I come in contact with. There is no greater gift than that of your health. I encourage you to make your body a best friend, not your worst enemy.
I'm dedicating this Pearl Jam song to everyone who has ever turned 30, enjoy! Can't wait to scream it with the sexiest man in rock and roll this September! 
- Pearl Jam, ALIVE
