Here's a tip: 9. Take a walk. Or a run, whatever floats your boat. Research shows that all it takes is 30 minutes of exercise a day to maintain good health Source: http://www.thetaboulibowl.wordpress.com

I was thinking of doing the same thing, running right before Iftar and then be finished at exactly iftar time! Drink my water and then a healthy meal

Hi all! I'd like to share this site too with you, for tips on healthy Ramadan eating, where you can also post questions to be answered by a Registered Dietician and Nutritionist. Also recipes for Ramadan (with calories) like TABOULI YUM! http://www.thetaboulibowl.wordpress.com Happy Fasting & RAMADAN KAREEM!

Fasting can be great for cleansing. I fast on some days from sunrise to sunset. I wake up and have a small meal before the sun rises, and then break my fast at sunset with a nutritious meal. I find the longer you go, the easier it gets and you also cannot fit as much food, so you eat less.

VOLLEY BALL at Mooneys Bay!

I think I'll start this soon too! I started it January 2012 and kept it up till May when I ran my first 5k with a time of 27 minutes. Now I want to start up again, it's a good a time as any! I have Robery Ullery's podcast and I used that to train. What about you?

DO IT! Spinning is the besttttt

Breakfast for any meal of the day? Yes Please.

Breakfast is the best meal of the day with the best foods....mmm Oatmeal, scrambled eggs, whole grain toast and peanut butter...coffee, green tea! I wake up everyday excited to eat breakfast.

Hey! I've just moved to Ottawa in July from Toronto and didn't have a chance to explore the biking ventures this city has to offer. I am really excited to purchase my first ever bike this year and I want to take advantage of the bike routes here. Any suggestions? I live right beside Mooney's Bay and Hogs Back Falls. I was…

Hi Kristin & Jennifer! Welcome to the group :)

I've just applied to uOttawa for Teachers College...super excited. Do you use the gym there?

Make the switch! I haven't been to a Power Barbell class but I have been to many classes with at least over 10 different instructors and have met some of the trainers, they are all REALLY dedicated, knowledgeable and the best part is how nice they are. It makes it so much better if you are going to the gym to better…

Here's a REALLY awesome Dessert Blog and you will not believe how low calorie and healthy everything is! http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/

Wiser words were never spoken.

If it fits, I sits. The motto of the cat kingdom.

I think we could all fill albums with all the photos we have of our cats doing random, but really funny things!

You have an awesome cat

Meet Fefe ...she's on full alert here.

oh my goodnessssss I just laughed out loud at this, so cute!

bumping for later!

Awesome! Wow what a difference. Just curious, is this at the athletic club?

Yes, I've been doing TAC Physique, Abs Express and Belly Dancing! I love it!

Was planning on reach my UGW by then hopefully. I'm in! I think we should include our height, that has a lot to do with the weight. I'm 5'7 SW: 196 UGW: 150

I love it so much, I try and make it last a little longer so I make a type of dip/spread. I mash it, add a 1/4 cup salsa, 1 tbsp lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Mix that up and I am more than happy to eat it with a spoon, or on a plain Rice Cake or with veggie straws if I have the calories available.…

I never thought of a sexy one! I would definitely have to work up the courage! BTW, I work in Ottawa & Toronto and I'm willing to give a discount to my MFP buddies!

Within the first 30-60 minutes is the ideal window to consume protein to help rebuild the muscles after a workout but that's not set in stone, the difference is marginal really. I know this because I learned it while taking some Exercise Science courses and my soccer + volleyball coaches suggested it as well. I know it's…

PHOTO SHOOT! Seriously can't wait for the day when I like how I look in a photo that someone else takes of me. I'm a photographer and I know how a good photograph can boost someones self-esteem, especially one that hasn't been photoshopped. My next NSV I hope is to fit into my engagement dress again, and get a photo shoot…

BTW did anyone else get the immense pains in the upper back? At first I couldn't figure out why I even had pain there, I thought I hurt myself but then I realized it was because my muscles were SORE from working them out! That's definitely a first.
