I drive average 4000-6000km per month 15-20 hour per week driving. Sometimes I listen to music, but I mostly listen to podcasts or e-books and try to learn something and maximize my time. I often take client calls on the road and take driving time to relax because very rarely do I have time to relax during my day to day life. I love grabbing coffee and snacks and getting excited about what my week has in store as I drive down. Than on the drive back reflecting back on how ama...zing my adventures were. . . . #mountainmike #hikewithmike #yegfitness #yegfit #yycfitness

As I drove up to the trailhead Saturday I couldn’t believe my eyes. Dozens of vehicles lined up and a huge group of people waiting 😮. Getting to share and experience my passion with this incredible group of people was unforgettable. The thing that stood out to me the most were the endless smiles and laughs. Watching this video and seeing so much happiness even with tired lungs and burning legs will be something I will remember forever. From the bottom of my heart; thank you ...to each and every one of you for making the drive out from all over Alberta to as far as Vancouver. Thank you for sharing your smiles and energy I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did. Please tag or comment everyone that was on the hike in the comments. And if you or a friend are interested in joining in on HikeWithMike 2.0 let me know! . . . #HikeWithMike #MountainMike #KingletLake #TuffPuff #albertalife #albertacanada #albertalife #davidthompsoncountry #arcteryxwestedmonton #arcteryx

They say a picture is worth 1000 words. In this case words could never do this place justice. Even photos can not capture the beauty. This area is one of my all time favourites for obvious reasons. . . . #mountainmike... #yegfitness #iamyegfit #yegfit #yycfitness #yycfit #landslidelake #albertalife #albertalove #albertacanada #backcountrycamping

The next few days I’ll be camping deep into the backcountry. I hope too many of these guys don’t visit me 🙊. I was contacted through social media that a fellow had come across my YouTube channel and by chance I was fishing off a raft he had build. It is way off in the middle of no where. Sunday he is flying his Dad (for Father’s Day) and his friends into a remote mountain lake to meet us! How cool is that? . . . #mountainmike... #yegfitness #iamyegfit #yegfit #yycfitness #yycfit #albertalife #albertalifestyle #albertacanada @ Alberta

**Are you interested?** July 7 I will be planning a follow along hike with BearBear and I. I’m still working out all details but it will be a moderate hike (possibly 2) for those feeling ambitious. It will likely be in the Canmore/Kananaskis/Banff area OR Abraham Lake.

You can either do this as a day trip OR camp out and make a weekend out of it. If you are interested comment below and tag a friend and I’ll put together a group with details as they come together ❤️. Come HIKE with MIKE. . . .

Weight Loss Alert!!!
This hot Momma came to me a few months after giving birth to her third kiddo determined to shed the baby weight. Crystal did 2 sessions and 1 at home work out per week, stuck to her flexible diet and lost 32 pounds, and 36 inches in just 3.5 months! From feeling the post baby body blues, to feeling the best she ever had, Crystal turned into an absolute fitness machine, you would have never known this amazing woman ever had 3 children. I can not stress eno...ugh, if your New Years goals are fitness related, please do not go overboard! Hitting the gym every day and doing a 360 on your nutrition is not always the answer!! Remember it takes time to develop bad habits so it takes time to develop good ones. Fitness does not need to consume your life, set small attainable goals, and make fitness a part of your life. Balance is always key!

Weight Loss Alert!!
Andrea has absolutely killed this past year. She has lost 35.2 pounds since she started. Now that might not sound like much, but what if I told you she lost that weight while consuming 2600 calories a day? Working out just 3, 1 hour sessions per week, she was able to eat all her favourite foods and drink non alcoholic AND alcoholic beverages. She didn't have to work out every single day and she didn't have to restrict herself to a low calorie diet. New Yea...rs Resolutions are around the corner, so I want everyone to keep in mind that completely flipping your life upside down, working out 7 days a week and eating what you think is healthy, is most likely not the answer to your weight loss prayers. Andrea trusted the process and has been a shinning example that fitness doesn't have to control your entire life, it's all about balance. I'm very proud to not only call Andrea my client, but also my friend and my family. I'm very excited to see what this next year brings us.

Random thought- Just about every time I post a picture of something “unhealthy” or “junk” food I get a flood of messages saying things along the line of That’s not healthy! Did you actually eat that? That’s processed! You eat McDonalds?
Ya I ate that, yes its processed, 2 Mcdoubles no onions, 2 Jr. Chickens and an Oreo McFlurry with Extra Oreo.
This post could get extremely lengthy but I will save that for a future post/posts. ... Ready for this… HEALTHY is more than just your food choices, its more than organic, its more than micro nutrients, its more than macronutrients, its more than calories, its more than vitamins and minerals and “super foods”. So many people and “coaches” look at nutrition from a micro level, they don’t look at the bigger picture. Many of the “healthiest” eaters I know are the most unhealthy people. Physically they might be well off, however when your diet consumes your life, your thoughts and your feelings you are no longer healthy. Physically good, mentally horrendous. Handling the mental side of things is equally or more important.
A good diet is a diet that is flexible, balanced, sustainable LONG TERM and allows you to feel good both physically and mentally. It should allow you all the above and still reach your goals.
Trust me, for years I did the 5 meals a day in tupperwear, loyal to my diet, living in a deficit, low sugar, low carbs, low sodium, blah blah blah. It wasn’t good, I wasn’t happy, my life revolved around my nutrition. As time went on I researched, trial and errored, researched, doubted, researched, resisted, researched, approved. Flexible dieting is incredible. Myself and majority of my clientele use flexible dieting or some “hybrid” of the system. I never thought I could get away from the negative relationship with food I had, now I can eat just about anything I want within reason and feel good, not just physically, most importantly mentally. Trust us on this one.

"Not" cooking with Michael, Season 1 Episode 2 has now aired. Every Monday 🙋🏼‍♂️😬.
In this video you will see an Omelette in a mug. I was SUPER skeptical about this one but it is amazing! Remember you can add in anything you want and adjust it to your individual needs.
Secondly you will as a "7 super foods salad, protein edition" cause you know there are such things as "super foods".
... There is a Kraft creamy poppy seed dressing that you can use as a substitute if you are trying to keep calories lower. You can also use a cheese grater to shred some apple into the mix which really freshens it up and adds flavour.
Enjoy!!!

Quick meal ideas are the best! If you are anything like me you are often flying out the door from place to place which could make healthy/macro friendly eating a challenge. Convenient foods are often high carb and high fat, protein is more challenging. Here is a quick idea I often use when I am in a pinch (I'm in a pinch a lot 😬). Do you have any quick high protein snacks, meals or ideas? I would love to hear them 👇🏽.
