The fourth Spread I made for work this year! Theme here for Christmas: 3 Kinds of Brie (Triple Creme, Truffle Brie, Blue Brie) x Chocolate 🧀 🍫 🎄 !! . To me, a Spread (cheese, charcuterie, etc) is an edible painting, a “Mood Board” that captures the Essence - or the “Parti” - of an occasion. . Every individual ingredient carries #Meaning that when placed together creates this effect (the Mood). 👉 So if you change one thing, you can change or greatly alter the effect. 👍🤔 . Comprised of both the technical processes as well as the aesthetic Beauty of food, nothing in the world combines so succinctly the five senses like a good Spread does - this in addition to food’s other aspects, i.e: cultural, identity, bringing people together, Nutrition/macros, etc. . So I therefore challenge You: can you represent yourself as a Spread? 🤔 . . Next board: A Vietnamese inspired Cheese Board for Tet (Lunar New Years) in February 🧧 - stay tuned !!! . #cheeseboards #cheese #chocolate #christmas #torontolifestyle #philosophy #design #architecture #design #interiordesign #parti #foodie #torontolife #brie #foodphilosophy #designthinking #toronto #torontofood #friyay #friday #GWFE #mood #moodboard #foodspread #keto #ketodiet #foodie #macros #iifym

My incredible friend Eric took me out for my belated to this amazing (!) Portuguese Seafood restaurant called Ilhas de Bruma (Dufferin x College St) 🇵🇹. . I had a super tasty (ginormous) portion of Bacalhau (cod fish), along with a glass of red wine and a house special mousse! . Embarrassed to say, it was my first for Portuguese food, but it certainly won’t be the last! . Eric - Thanks again, for sharing this culinary experience with me and for helping me learn more about Portuguese food and culture. You’re the best... And your 4 sets of Deadlifts too!! 💪💪💪💪 .

Finally got to meet KINWA Co-Founder Len and the team over at @thinkeatdifferently! .

Flavours: 🍏 Apple Cinnamon; 🍋 Lemon; 🥥 Coconut 🍓 Strawberry; 🍫 Dark Chocolate w/ Orange . It’s a tasty low Gylcemic Index snack for the 3 PM office snacker or as a Pre-Workout energy bar for sustained energy! 💪 . @thinkeatdifferently #KINWA #healthandwellness #healthandfitness #corporatewellness #healthfood #well #toronto #torontolifestyle #torontofitness #healthfood #nutrition #allergenfree #strengthtraining #weightlifting #stress #wellness #wellbeing #mtcc #nationalwomensshow #preworkout #preworkoutmeal #preworkoutsupplement #supplements

👉👉Who Wants Free Bars?!👍💪 . I’m SUPER excited to announce that I’ve been chosen to be one of three Brand Ambassadors for EatToLife @thinkeatdifferently, a health and wellness food company in Toronto! . My teammates include a Registered Dietitian and a Team Canada Beach Volleyball Champ. 🙌 . Together we will be promoting KINWA, a tasty, natural, allergen-free bar for those who struggle to fit their macros in because of allergy and time constraints... a great solution for the health-conscious, the athlete or the typical 9-to-5ers who needs their 3PM office snacks! 😜 . (Also, less allergies mean less stress on the body, which means better physical recovery!) . Most importantly I can’t wait to meet the team and to utilize this opportunity to network with people across the fitness, wellness and corporate wellness industries here in Toronto!! .

Happy International Chest Day Monday! 👊💪 . I digress - Lately I’ve been playing around with a few Fitness Apps and so far I’m really enjoying “FitBod”. . I’d give it an 8.5/10 - and here are my reasons why: . PROS: ✅INTUITIVE. Enter your basic parameters and an algorithm generates a workout for you. . ✅DIAGRAMMATIC METRICS. (1) Progression metrics keep you motivated; (2) Human body diagram tells you which body parts need rest and which ones are ready to be worked on again. . ✅APPLE WATCH SYNCING. A great app that synchronizes with the smart watch. . ✅EXERCISE LIBRARY. Expansive and can find a variety of exercises with basic training videos. . CONS: ❌EXPENSIVE. Free to trial for the first 3 workout logs. Any logs afterwards is $10 a month or $60 for an annual subscription. . ❌GLITCHES. Logs can sometimes skip or even disappear on the Apple Watch. . POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS: 👉Fix app glitches 👉Reduce monthly cost 👉Have a better community platform that connects with social media I.e. Facebook/Instagram . OVERALL: 🙌The benefits outweigh the costs. Definitely a valuable tool if you weightlift 4-5 times a week! .

No costume this year, but wanted to channel the spirit of Ironman! . Why Ironman? Because to me, he represents the idealistic human being who is driven by machine-generated data, something I’m really inspired by. . I am hopeful to see technology informing and allowing us to control all aspects of our environments so that we can live a more efficient (and possibly healthier) life some day! #progress .
