It seems fitting, in my last article of the academic year, that I share some information that may benefit those of you looking to shed weight heading into another Canadian summer on God’s beautiful planet. So here are 3 EASY steps to looking better while you enjoy some time in the sun:

 

1)  Watch what you eat

2)  Exercise

3)  Ignore fads and splashy ads

 

Twelve years ago I was in a race that would change my life. It was a cross-country race and I was proud to be taking part. This particular race was the regional meet at a conservation area in the heart of Ganaraska Forest. In order to qualify for this meet you had to place in the top 8 at your public school. I loved to run, so at the ripe age of 9 years old I strapped on my skateboarding shoes and ran the 2km loop at Camborne Public School to qualify. Although I almost finished last out of the 8 people that ran, I still qualified for the Ganaraska meet and I was proud to be there.

I remember when I first showed up at Redeemer. It was a sunny day as I got out of my family’s green Chevy Astro van to meet my RAs. I went on to move my stuff into dorm 17 and met some of my house and porch mates. I met a whole bunch of new friends that year, people who I still love even though I don’t get to see them or talk to them as often as I would like. Oh yeah,  and I joined a very loud band.
