OH CANADA! The OFFICIAL Canada thead; Version 9.0

[sglgirl]

Best thing I ever did was move from the east to the west lol. Only thing is miss is the cheaper cost of living, friendly people, and family of course lol.

there is no cheap cost of living in Halifax anymore. but thank you for saying it was a good move for you, that is comforting to hear, especially as time counts down.

I think it really opened my eyes to what else is out there. Sometimes you have to take risks, or make short term sacrifices to get ahead in life. I may have moved 5500 km away from home, but I still think it was for the best. My mom may think otherwise! lol

Welcome to you both.


So I've been dealing with a bum shoulder for the last 6 weeks. Turns out to be rotator cuff tendonitis. During this time I've basically been cutoff from doing anything with my right arm. My workouts have tanked, my motivation is fizzling each day. I am still able to train with my left for upper body movements and to train legs, but I know I'm not going at 100%.....hopefully this doesn't last much longer.

At least the legs are still relatively decent:



Upper body, not so much....

Take your time with rotator cuff.....it will love you later for being patient with it now. I overplayed squash years ago...too much too fast and rotator is not fun to deal with.

Oh wait so you get to train for free. GET ME IN!

[JRTabula]

Been a member for a few years - finally decided to put this profile to good use as I'm starting to lack motivation some days.
From Toronto, used to work at the GoodLife in Toronto Pearson. Don't work for the company anymore, but still work out there. Mainly still use it because they're literally everywhere I moved downtown last June and there's 5 within walking distance.
Also, I can go visit almost anywhere really (in Canada), and be able to get a workout in.

Also...FIRST POST! Woo! lol

[Oh wait so you get to train for free. GET ME IN!

Welcome. Take your training one day at a time. Set goals and once you start to notice a change in your body, you'll be hooked.

I'm sure anyone here would be willing to offer some knowledge if you need it. Good luck!

there are actually 19 Goodlife Fitness clubs and 4 Fit 4 Less I believe. I will be covering the east end, so Place d'Orleans, Tenth Line and the Innes F4Less will be included in my territory.

Hello everyone!

I've been a member of BB.com for a while but I have mainly used it for programs and for ordering supps. Now I'm starting a new program and would like to see if anyone out there has started it as well. It's the Alex Savva's 12-week Freakmode one that came out not too long ago. Main goal at this point is to cut I bc I have a trip down south in January and I would like to be in the single digits of BF%, and I know it will be challenging with the holiday season sandwiched right in the middle of the 12-week period but hopefully you guys will help me stay in line. I'm excited about the new program though!

Well after 6 weeks of religious dieting (lifestyle changing lol), I'm down 30 lbs. I'm really happy with this, but expecting I'll hit a plateau within the next 10-15 lbs or so. Just have to keep my chin up and keep grinding when that happens I guess!

That's great news! Are you still training as much as possible?

[LithiuM23]

Yup usually 5-6 days a week! A cheat meal every 10 days

You need to move to BC next so that we can train Dee lol

BC is a beautiful province.....I would have considered it, but the role I could have transferred in to was for Vancouver and surrounding area, and Vancouver is just too big and scary for me. You are in a nice area though.
