Giving vegetarianism a go!

Working at Vega is a great place to try new things because everyone is always working towards the next marathon or fitness event or health cleanse. Needless to say, it's contagious working among such a group of like minded and focused individuals. People are constantly setting new goals but they don't necessarily have to be fitness related but can be about trying something new.

This month there is a lot going on here at Head Office, as there always is. People are training for Tough Mudder, others just finished the BMO marathon, others are doing juice cleanses and the sales team is hosting a squat and push-up challenge! So far it's been a blast and very motivating because we all keep each other going. Everyone has the calendar at their desk and it's pretty cool to see everyone working together! Very motivating.

At home, Brett has started to embrace a healthier lifestyle and is taking it to the next level. It's great that we are both on the same page and we've decided to do two days a week with no meat products. He is even planning on cutting out dairy! It's all in an effort to motivate one another and to live a healthier life. I am very excited and look forward to finding great vegetarian recipes to try. Once commercial that will really get you thinking is Make Health Last by the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

I've also come to the tough decision that I will no longer be competing in the fitness industry and will be focusing on training others and my own training. By nature, I am a very competitive person and after A LOT of conversations, I have decided to take a permanent break so I can focus on other things. I have loved meeting all the people I've met and look forward to support my friends with their journey's going forward.

May and June are going to be busy but it's important to find the time to workout and with the weather, it's hard not to want to get outside. Lately I've been getting up at 5 am because our apartment gets so hot that I'd rather be in the gym anyways. The best part about getting up and to the gym is that I have it all to myself for the first 45 minutes! I am sure going to miss it when we move June 1st but I will still find a way to train.

Have a great week everyone and follow your dreams and set goals. Boot Camp is going to be in Vancouver this Saturday at 10:30. Location to be announced! Email me if you are interested, nicolewilsonfitness@gmail.com

Yours in health and fitness,

Best Shaker Cup, EVER - Cyclone Cup

Cyclone Cup - Product Review

I am doing my first ever Product Review and I have to give it 5 stars. I've been using my Cyclone Cup for a few weeks now and I am uh-bsessed with it.

There are so many great things to mention that I'm going to list them rapid fire:

Never spills
Room to store protein
Fits in a cup holder
Measurements
No shaker ball
No BPA
Dishwasher safe
Lightweight
Mixes reall well
Lid Grip

Basically, it's the best shaker cup I've used. I am always going somewhere and that is why I love that the bottom screws off and you can store 1 scoop of protein. This way you can mix it whenever you want! I also love that I can throw it in my purse and don't have to worry about it spilling because the flip lid always seals tight and the lid had a grib on it so its easy to open.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when containers don't fit in my cup hold and this one does! It also fits in all the machines at the gym. I checked.

When I'm being super lazy, I don't need to worry about hand washing it because it's dishwasher safe and I can throw it in. The cyclone centre comes out and it mixes the product really well. #noclumps

I like that I can measure out how much water or almond milk I am mixing with my Vega protein or Vega pre/post workout and it's light weight!

If you need a new shaker cup, I highly recommend Cyclone Cup - The Best Shaker Cup Ever! Did I mention they come in sweet colors!?
