- Links to the people who are training me.
- Pretty embarrassing pictures of my back fat.

THE PHYSICAL
The YMCA treadmill told me to consult a doctor before starting a new exercise regime, so I went to see Dr. Kathy Van Zeyl , a naturopathic doctor who specializes in sports medicine and clinical nutrition at the Davisville Health Clinic in Toronto.
- I have low blood pressure!
- Please find a pulse.
- Found a pulse!
Dr. Van Zeyl gave me a clean bill of health, though my blood pressure is a little low. Yay! More salt for me!
She also calculated my Body Mass Index and Waist to Hip Ratio, which is a good way to figure out if your weight is a healthy number for your height and age. Turns out I’m within a healthy range, but because I’ve gained 15 pounds in the last 2 years, she figures my metabolism is slowing down (I’m 43) and I need to do more exercise to stay healthy.
Dr. Van Zeyl also took my measurements. Which was a rather sobering experience.
- BEFORE: Waist – 32″
- BEFORE: Hips – 41″
- BEFORE: Chest – 36″
The Debaters | CBC Radio
29 JunHey cool! My latest episode of The Debaters aired today at 1pm! I debated the very hilarious Patrick McKenna about whether or not fireworks are dumb.
I caught the episode while driving back from dropping my boyfriend off at the airport. Enjoyed it so much, I missed my exit and ended up getting lost in the suburbs of Toronto, making my head explode like the fireworks I hate so much.
If you missed it, click HERE for sample giggle!
And for fun, here’s a terrible photo of me backstage trying to get The Debater’s backdrop in a shot!
