In our house the Big O is the easiest way we can think of to describe my kids’ favourite medicine. We started calling it that because it sounds cool AND because my kids still pronounce thank you with a capitol ‘f’ so there’s really no chance they’d be able to say oscill ...more

This is part two of a three part series on how to keep your kids healthy during the toughest season of all…cold and flu. You know the season. It’s squished between back-to-school and Christmas and it causes havoc from coast-to-coast.   I’ve compiled a list of possible solut ...more

On November 19th at 6pm I’m hosting a very important event. It’s called the Prosperity Ball. So you probably have visions of the richy-riches pulling up to a valet in Beemers and Lexus’ with fur coats. There may be some of these types in attendance, but this event is not about t ...more

I’m not sure when it started but at some point in my life Halloween became a really big deal. It must be that perfect mix of getting to dress up AND eat enough chocolate to induce vomiting.  Now that’s a good time. In any case my babies are still young so they haven’t really g ...more

Even before the end of Labour Day weekend the snot had returned. Many parents associate the beginning of cold and flu season with the first few months of  school but my toddler is in daycare year round. So really, the snot has just been in hiding, waiting to make a re-appearance. The joy of h ...more

This particular challenge will culminate in me, oh boy, revealing my mid-section in some kind of ph ...more

If you are sick of hearing about my fitness journey quick, go back to Google and search for a gossip site. There’s got to be something new in JLo and Mark Anthony’s divorce saga. If you love following a challenge, pay attention! I have been nothing but thrilled with the whole transform ...more

Knowing we are working toward a basement renovation this year, Lio and I decided to forego an exotic vacation and stick close to home. Read: we’re too broke to do both.   After going back and forth on renting a nearby cottage Lio suggested we go to Montebello, Quebec. We feel pretty lu ...more

Guest post from Tracy's trainer Stephanie Joanne: In my experience people generally overthink the process of getting started with exercises. Step one is to wrap you head around the idea that if you must incorporate weight training into your program especially if you want to shed body fat. I h ...more

I love wine. Yummy, yummy wine. Sorry I'll get to the point. Since our Three Chefs (Massimo Capra, Michael Bonacini and Jason Parsons) and Peller Estates sommelier Laurence Buhler were on the show I thought I’d ask them (and you) for favourite wine selections for the summer. Guess what? ...more

Today’s Home Day was all about getting décor inspiration from art. What better way to show this than to bring on a local artist who started getting inspired at the tender age of three. That was a year ago. Yes…he’s only FOUR! Don’t start getting all, “Hey, wh ...more

See that? Under the cute little lips and chin. It’s a drop…of drool. It’s been ten months and all she has to show for it is two little bunny teeth and an ocean of spit. Eva’s mouth is like a leaky faucet that refuses to let up. As much as I love pretty much everything t ...more

Every year in June I look forward to one event that truly puts a smile on my face. It's the Girls on The Run 5k "graduation" and it's a program I hold close to my heart. Girls on the Run teaches pre-teen girls about inner strength at a crucial time in their lives. It’s a turning point when man ...more

Guest Post by Stephanie Joanne Baby or no baby - YOU MUST BE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR CORE! The main reason is all of our movements revolve around and are powered by our torso. Your back and abs work to support your spine in every single move that you make on a day-to-day basis. Think of your core (t ...more

Last night I was up not once, not twice, but three times with my youngest. I noticed the dregs of milk in a baby bottle on my first visit to the nursery that night (1:30am) which means she had already been up at least once before then with my husband. By my third (groan) visit to Eva’s nursery I ...more

Want to know the best thing about getting in shape? It’s not showing off your bod (although that’s cool too). It’s knowing that you set a goal for yourself…and you reached it. You can’t buy the kind of confidence that reaps. And so with that said I’d like to wrap up my one month fitness challen ...more

Last week was tough for me. There were some bumpy roads to navigate at work (on-air and off) and when things get bumpy I tend to reach for bread or chocolate. That’s tough to do when you’re on a regimen that cuts your grains after 3pm and doesn’t exactly condone the eating of fudge. But like anyt ...more

I still remember my first trip to the Toronto Baby Time Show (www.babytimeshows.ca). I was as big as a house and my ankles had magically disappeared. I was just days from giving birth to my eldest but I still thought I should go. I figured I’d be missing an important pregnancy milestone if I skipped ...more

This is Day One. Well not really because Day One was about a month ago when I first posted a blog entry on Citytv’s  Biggest Loser Challenge…also known as Fit for Vic (toria Day Weekend…get it?).   As you can see in my last post, the biggest step I made so far was meeting Step ...more

I must be nuts to encourage you all to click on this video.I’ve been really good about being honest when it comes to my weight loss adventures…but that’s easy to do when you have a hair and makeup artist making you look cute every morning.In this video I HAVE NO MAKEUP ON.

Who knew the great outdoors could be so fun? A couple of months ago some enterprising CityLine producers thought it would be great to get our viewers to embrace the cold by doing a show live at the Village at Blue Mountain. If you are from outside of the Toronto region…this is as close as we ...more

It occurred to me that something was wrong when I had documented the same weight (152 pounds) for over a month (see photo of my Weight Loss Tracker). That was back in December. I got through the holidays gaining only a pound (miracle considering the amount I consumed). But now Christmas is  ...more

Downstairs in my kitchen there are four big cellophane gifts staring at me. In them are chocolates, jams, chocolate-covered cookies, shortbread, chocolate truffles, crackers, and more chocolate. If you know me (and you probably do if you’ve read any of my past blogs) chocolate is my kryptonite.  ...more

If you caught CityLine on Tuesday, November 16 you’ll know that Kimberley Seldon, Tamara Griffith-Robbins, Samantha Pynn and I all talked about the traditions we hold dear to our hearts each year.

They are tight as hell…but they are on. You might call them sausage casings - I call them my pre-pregnancy jeans and my bum is in them. Snugly - but it still counts.     There are a few post-pregnancy weight loss milestones a girl never forgets.   One is shedding those hu ...more

You took this challenge seriously and I appreciate it! A week ago I asked you to help me pick out your ten favourite photos from a shoot my family had done with talented photographer Tara Sinclair Hingco. So many of you helped me narrow down the list and pick the photographs that will go up in E ...more

This is not a job I can handle all on my own. It’s also not a life changing decision but why not jump in anyway and help me out. I dragged (yes dragged) my family to a professional photo shoot by Art and Design a few weeks ago just outside of Toronto in Whitby, Ontario because I had seen such  ...more

If you’ve done the dieting yo-yo thing you already know it goes something like this: You decide you must lose weight. You eat well and exercise. You lose weight! And then you believe you are magically cured and go back to every dirty habit you had before you lost the weight. Gu ...more

Milestones are important.When your newborn smiles it's a big deal. When your teenager gets his driver's license you celebrate (even as you have a silent heart attack). Well, fitness milestones are important too. When you can all of a sudden do all your pushups on your toes. Or when you wake up befor ...more

Remember me? Six weeks ago I rolled out of the Citytv studios two days before having baby #2 who you now all know as Eva Simone.

You’ve probably noticed that I’ve gained a little weight. Okay a lot of weight. It’s okay though – it’s baby weight and I’m about to lose maybe 7 or 8 pounds of it this Monday, August 16th. That is the day I’m going into hospital to get induced and welcome baby  ...more

I’m not complaining....I promise! But over the last few weeks Lio and I have been busy getting our house packed and ready to move by the end of the week.
