Thank you to everyone who attended the "Nurturing Your Whole Self" Fitness and Fashion Show at Joelle's on Wednesday and raised money for the Halton Food For Thought program. It was a magical evening full of food and nutrition information, gorgeous clothes on beautiful women, yummy organic wine and nibbles and I think I can say that we all walked out of Joelle's on a high with many things to ponder.
The recipes for the fresh veggie spring rolls, moroccan sweet potato crostini and oatmeal-spelt apple/pear desserts will be added to my website early next week. Lisa and I had a vision for what we wanted to prepare...organic, healthy, natural and yummy and I searched out base recipes and then modified them based on what was coming in the veggie box I get from Plan B.
The clothes at Joelle's were beautiful and I liked the
T by TENSION skirt so much that I bought two. The shorts underneath felt so good and it will be a great option for class, tennis and just strolling. Anyone who participated as a model in the show can tell you that you feel like a new person once you are treated to the personal touch at Joelle's and are put into clothes that truly fit your body and showcase your beauty. The jean sale is on right now on a specific selection of jeans...it's an amazing opportunity to see your tush come alive...go to her website,
www.joelles.com, and click on "news and events" to see the details.
The
organic wine was wonderful and if you want to visit the winery, it really is a quick drive. Here is their information...and we were drinking the 2007 Riesling:

THANK YOU to all of you who voted in the Burlington Reader's Choice Awards. If you saw Joelle's ad on Wednesday, you will see that Tread Powerfully was voted a Gold in the Best New Business category and I achieved a Platinum in the Fitness Instructor category. You made this happen, you come out, you tell your friends, thank you! Hopefully a few new members will be inspired to look us up on the web, try a class and begin making some changes in their lives.
For the first week in March, Lisa is off for a wonderful vacation! I will be teaching all classes and our Tuesday and Thursday mornings will be a combined class.
GOOD LUCK to those participating in the Chilly Half-Marathon Run/Walk event taking place on Sunday, March 1st. As luck would have it, it's going to be another cold event like Robbie Burns, but let's hope for no wind. We've trained hard guys, we put in the time, let's have fun and get it done!
Look for another email early next week as I've been doing a lot of deep thinking the past two weeks!
