As I glanced at the forecast this morning it showed that here in Labrador City, Labrador, Canada we are in for a balmy -53 degree Celsius with the windchill this evening!!!
Ya gotta love living in northern Canada. To find us on the map of Canada, look up, WAYYY up to northeastern Canada.
But being the trooper that I am and being used to these winters I headed out to the gym.
Today was a designated light day with all sets in the 20 rep range. Again I am focusing on TOTAL reps. Today the goal was 25 reps, and it only took me two sets to get there. It was short and sweet and I got a great pump!

Matea ready for takeakeoffLast night went well with our little honey bee as we took her around trick or treating to mostly family and close friends. I think we hit about 10 houses and the back seat was full of goodies for Matea. Mostly baby items like baby food, books, bibs and teethers as she is not old enough to eat any real treats.
I headed out to the gym this morning to burn off a few extra treats in a balmy -15 deg Celsius with 50kmh winds!
Gotta love Northern Canada, eh?We have actually been lucky this fall as usually we are covered in snow by Halloween.

Ahh… I remember those fun Halloween nights when I was younger wearing my costume over my snowsuit, trekking from house to house with my pillow case through a foot of snow while that cheap elastic band from my mask kept snapping off from the cold!
Yeah that was a typical Halloween night for me growing up in Northern Canada.
But this year we are excited to bring our 5 month old daughter Matea around for her first Halloween. She is sure to clean up with that cute BEE suit!
Matea resting her wingsCheck her out with all her baby friends at our Halloween party that we had yesterday for all the new moms in our area.
Twelve babies under age one under one roof, now that’s SCARY!
Anyway, if you still have your kids at home I have a great Halloween tip to do with them before they head out trick or treating this evening.
…Actually I think even us parents could use this tip so we don’t double dip into our kids Halloween treats.
If you have young kids and are taking them out this evening for Halloween, treat them to a spooky Halloween dinner before they head out.
Put a twist on some dinner time favorites.
Halloween Recipe:
Witch’s fingers & Monster Brains covered in blood – thin chicken strips with shake & bake (add some minced spinach, parsley and oregano to the mix for a green color) bake in the oven until well-browned and curl up on top of a bed of whole wheat noodles, tossed in a little olive oil and mixed with cooked peas and sweetcorn niblets. Drizzle a little tomato sauce on top for the blood effect.
Treating your kids to a spooky Halloween dinner will make them less likely to eat the candy they collect before you have a chance to check it for them.
As for YOUR sweet tooth….
If you are living the Dad Fitness Lifestyle you can enjoy a little treat this Halloween because Dad Fitness allows you to live your life while getting the body you want.
Wishing You A Healthy Halloween!

It certainly was harder getting up and hitting the gym this morning as it was a chilly 2 degrees here in Labrador this morning.
This is the drawback to living in Northern Canada were fall comes faster than most areas.
I had a large cup of green tea with my morning oatmeal to warm me up and I took a little longer to warm up in the gym.
I haven’t started my new training routine yet as I have just been getting back to the gym these last few days. I will start a new Dad Fitness Workout Plan this weekend.
This morning it was just some basic squats, lunges, and deadlifts.
It was another healthy hot meal after my workout of tasty home cooked chili.
I am getting back in the groove and I hope you are too now that the kids are back in school and the days are getting shorter.
Be the fittest dad on the block this fall and start living the Dad Fitness Lifestyle.

Yeah that’s the announcement I seen this morning on our local cable channel after I finished a heart pumping session of incline walking on my treadmill, AND after drinking about a liter of water already today.
Oops, so far so good!
This is a rare occurrence up here in Northern Canada where I live as we are lucky to have a high quality tap water and municipal filtration system. People who visit are blown away by the clean, refreshing taste of our tap water.
Only 2 weeks ago our local paper released their water quality report and achieved a 100% quality rating, which was even better than the popular bottled water they tested.
After seeing the Boil Order Advisory our major concern is for our baby daughter as she is drinking formula. But we always boil and sterilize her water and bottles anyway.
The first thing you busy dads should do when trying to improve your health and lifestyle is start drinking more WATER. Just make sure you are drinking a clean source even from a tap filter like Brita or high quality spring bottled water.
Always have water by your side during the day and drink lots water of during your Dad Fitness workouts.
Today is a day off from the gym but like I mentioned I hit the treadmill this morning for 25 minutes of incline walking at my treadmill max incline of 10. I was huffing and puffing and soaked by the end.
I like to mix up my fat burning workouts by rotating interval sprints and steep incline walking. My legs and lower back are a bit sore from yesterdays deadlift workout so I opted for the incline walking today.
Here was my healthy breakfast to start the day:
3 egg Omega3 omelet with veggies, peppers, ham, onions and cheese
Fresh Cantaloupe on the side
So I guess I am off to buy a couple cases of bottled water, which I hardly ever drink.
I feel weird even paying for water.
Hope this gets resolved soon!
