My family hasn't gone totally GF with me but we adapted our favourite week-day dishes so we don't have to cook two separate meals. I would suggest investing in a bread machine and checking out the blog glutenfreegoddess....good tips here. Sometimes I get super frustrated being a celiac, mostly because of all the planning…

Thanks for sharing - it's awesome! I decided to start running for the first time in my life (I'm 45 tomorrow ugggg) and have done 6 walk/runs over the last two weeks. On Sunday I ran in the forest for the first time with my dog and LOVED it! I'm inspired by your story and will work towards doing my first 5k run by the end…

Shy? (No pic!)

Vancouver here....Hi!

From what I can see we Canadians are way more low key about Thanksgiving and are not consuming nearly as much as our American cousins. Less eating, less traveling, less shopping...I look at Thanksgiving as a harvest festival not an excuse to indulge and go over the top. That's reserved for the NHL playoffs....

Free spirited!

I'm Canadian and I say you just WING it! Bring a warm jacket, boots, a toque and tons of cash...this place ain't for sissies! LOL...or you could go with Expedia....

I find the Williams Sonoma cookbooks really easy - "Weeknight Fresh + Fast" is awesome...very few ingredients and it's organized seasonally. I also pretty much eat the same things week to week to make things simple....good luck and kudos for making good choices!

I have a Verilux "Happy Lamp" on my desk - I have it on twice a day for about 30 minutes each time. It's a game changer especially in Vancouver where the winter days are long, wet, dreary and dark. I wish I knew about it sooner....

I'm pretty sure the word "toque" is an issue too :)

I'm on the second book in the Discovery of Witches series. I already hate the movie and it hasn't been filmed yet. Some things were just meant to be read and not watched...

If you can walk you can snowshoe...or try nordic skiing! Both are easy, fun and great calorie burners!

Having made close to 40 flights this year I have to say the best airport is my very own Vancouver International and the absolute worse is Chennai, India. Frankfurt is not far off from that...only because it stinks like cigarettes and aftershave....

I develop performance textiles...

Rock climb, bike, ski, hike....it's all weather dependent!

I've been gluten free for 6 years...congrats and I'm happy you are feeling so good!

I spent my entire car repair savings on a single pair of (amazing) shoes...and now I have to take transit every day...

Patrissia likes her Malbec....

You seem nice Too Tall...but I'd rather date the badass climber....!

I think I love you! Thanks for making my day....!

My eyes...

You just made my day!

If you are wearing polyester then you should expect the stink to take hold of the garment eventually and permanently. Lot's of brands offer anti-microbial treatments that are effective. Stay away from Triclosan as it's an endocrine disruptor - look for Polygiene or other silver ion technology (but not silver yarns - this…

@crazy...a supportive woman with an appreciation for your killer bod!

It's settled then...what are you doing after work today? *insert killer smile*...:)

@smile...A girl with a big smile and a killer laugh...

I've been100% gluten free for 6 years and YES it is hard but NO it's not impossible....feel free to Friend or PM me for support!

My left arm is 1-1/2" shorter than my right arm...

The chick who sits opposite me comes to work everyday with a massive carb heavy lunch. She heats up her plate and chows down in front of me day after day...the smells coming off the plate are just divine. When she gets up to put her dishes in the kitchen I get a look at her big fat *kitten*...and then I go back to smiling…
