Why, hello there!

I wanted to take some time and make my first post look amazing, perfect, impeccable...but that's just not going to happen right now.

PMA stands for 'Positive Mental Attitude' and Transcending PMA is about the journey to not only integrate PMA into my daily life, but move beyond it and what happens when and if that process begins.




I've been into fitness for 10 years, but recently my focus has become training for a triathlon. It's been really sweet to have a reason to train, and to seriously call it "training". I feel so athletic!

Seawheeze 2015 Race Recap!

Seawheeze 2015 Race Recap Part 1 - Pre-race We headed up to Vancouver Thursday after work. By the time we got there, it was pretty late and we grabbed dinner (I had a veggie burger) and then checked into our hotel and went to bed. We were getting up early to check out the Seawheeze Showcase store! I had been putting off buying new workout clothes for sometime in case I found something, but I was simply looking forward to participating in this event as a spectator, and if I found something - all the better!  Vancouver is pretty We made our way down to the Convention Centre and arrived at 6:25…and the line was already wrapping around the convention centre! I would estimate at least a thousand people ahead of us. I overheard one person saying that she lined up at 11pm on Thursday! They opened the doors at 7pm and we figured that we might get in by 8:30….nope! we didn’t get into the store until 9:30 but that was OK, the time went surprisingly fast. There wa...

Essential Oils - My Experiences My first real experience with essential oils was when I ran the Seawheeze in 2012 and they gave us an essential oil pack by a Canadian company called Saje Wellness  . The 'Runner's Reward (love that!) contains two oils; 'peppermint halo' and 'pain release'. I really enjoy both of these oils and keep them by my bed, in my gymbag and at my desk at work. I sometimes use them as perfume or as a pick-me-up. It's nice to take a break at your desk and smell different smells!  Relief! My next venture into essential oils was purchasing  eucalyptus oil at my local healthfood store. I mix it into a spray bottle with water and I simply spray it into my shower before I get in for a nice spa-like experience. I wish I remembered to use it more often because it's really refreshing! My Doterra Order!  On the recommendation from my good friend Jess, I ordered from Doterra and my package came last week! I ordered ...

Hello, Monday!

Since I missed my  'Friday 5' (and Jen even did one while she was busy in NYC getting ready for the marathon...she's amazing!) I'll do a 'weekly recap' instead. These are some of the things I enjoyed this week!  An empty pool...if you swim and you are used to crazy busy pools, you'll identify with this one...and if you don't swim, the best way for me to explain it is that I feel like its my own personal pool! I've been getting in some longer swims lately (I'll talk more about that at the end of this post) and its just nice to swim completely by myself sometimes.  Shopping at health food stores! I LOVE health food stores, vitamin stores, etc. I always run in to buy one thing and come out with a bunch more! I ran in to buy my antioxidant   and found all these other goodies! Nuun - I use half a tab in my water bottle every day at work! I gotta keep my supply up... Ojibwa Tea- This is similar/the same to the 'Flo...
