body transformation before and after build muscle lose fat fitness journey

After 12 weeks of dedicated training and relentless effort, I’m (finally) proud to share my body transformation journey with you.  In this instagram post I share the--many and varied--emotions I experienced throughout the journey.  With this blog post, my goal is to double-click on the experiences I lived along the way and share my learnings on building muscle and losing belly fat, for good.  From this previous transformation blog post on how I lost 100 lbs of fat, you may already know that ...

Cocoa Fudge Chocolate Superfood Smoothie Recipe 

December 31, 2020 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

cocoa superfood smoothie recipe wide

When I think of winter, I think of chocolate! Actually pause, rewind, I think of chocolate all year round but I especially like to indulge in it during the holidays and throughout winter!  Hot chocolate.  Chocolate chip cookies.  Chocolate fudge brownies.  The sweet tooth kicks in and all I want is that rich, smooth, cocoa flavoured everything! When we used to live in Toronto I would stop by Greenhouse Juice Co. and order their Rococoa smoothie which was heavenly!  It had “hidden greens” in ...

Setting Sustainable Intentions for the New Year

December 29, 2020 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

Sustainability blog post FWD

I have to say, year over year, my New Year’s resolutions look pretty much the same... Eat healthier  Get into better shape  Read more  Reduce waste  Spend less time watching TV / on devices  One thing that’s remained a priority over the years is the increasing need to adopt sustainable behaviours--both big and small actions we can take to reduce plastic, water, and energy waste.  Part of the reason for this is that if we don’t start to curb or correct our behaviours now, ...

selling toronto home semi detached blog post

F i n a l l y !  Now that the physical move and the stress of the sale are behind us, I feel like I can finally sit down to write this blog post to share it with you all.  These past few months have been such a roller coaster (adding to the personal and professional challenges, re: chaos, that 2020 has brought). Our close friends and family have known for a while now that our plan had been to *someday* move back to Montreal--the city in which my heartmate and I met, and called home for the ...

Vegan Butter Chicken Recipe | Easy to Follow 

November 29, 2020 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

Easy vegan butter chicken recipe

Creamy, buttery, rich, exotic flavours.  When I was a teenager and I used to work at the mall, there was this Indian fast food restaurant in the food court that was so good--they always had a lineup! Every day on my lunch breaks I would run over there to try and beat the rush, and the only thing on the menu that I never got sick of ordering was their butter chicken on rice with a side of warm naan. Mmmmmm.  Oh. Em. Gee.  It was a foodgasm, every single time.  But making traditional Indian ...

Hi everyone! I’m happy to finally be back at my desk, hands at my keyboard with a cup of tea steaming and ready to pour myself into this post. The post is geared at unearthing what really happened in the past year to help address questions I've been getting for a while.

How to Earn DOUBLE the Points on Dining & Entertainment Purchases in 2020 

October 23, 2019 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

HSBC rewards plus mastercard

Confession: I’ve been a little naughty lately!  Naughty in the “spending money unnecessarily” category, to be exact.  Honestly, I don’t think my spending habits have any particular pattern to them, other than AT TIMES I can get a little excessive, and spend more than I probably should. Maybe it’s seasonal? Maybe it happens in waves? I have no idea.  But the same can be said about making my meals for the week vs. buying lunches. Some weeks I’m really good and beyond diligent... having my meal ...

Friends! Can you believe Fall officially begins in one week?! It’s finally here -- my favourite time of year!  Every September, I fall in love all over again... The autumnal change in colours, the knitwear and sweaters we get to layer on, and the seasonal change in warm beverages on coffee shop menus just get me. Every, single, time! :)   While for some, September can often feel overwhelming at work with colleagues returning from vacation and entering “high productivity mode”, there’s ...

citrus sunrise cocktail recipe inspired by nick

Well, here we are friends, the first week of June. JUNE! Time really does just fly by! I feel like I say that around this time every year. Once after winter and those colder months of spring are behind us, and again in the fall when summer literally just flashes by us with the blink of an eye. Anywho... This time of year, particularly the last week of May, is when my heartmate and I pretty much round everything up around the house, give it a thorough spring cleaning, and get the backyard ...
