If you have been following me for any length of time, you probably know that I am constantly researching, learning and trying to understand my own body a little better. And lately, that research has taken me down a rabbit hole I honestly never expected to go down: peptides. Here is a little bit about my peptide journey. Before I go any further, I want to make something really clear. This is my personal experience and my personal research journey. I am not a doctor, and I am n

Sometimes you don't need to pack up the camping gear, book a campsite or take a week off work to feel like you've gotten away. Sometimes, all you need is a sunny day, a full tank of gas, a good playlist and a destination. That was the plan for our day trip to Port Burwell Provincial Park. Located along the north shore of Lake Erie, Port Burwell is one of those places that makes for the perfect summer escape. It's far enough away to feel like you're actually going somewhere, b

If you’re anything like me, you know that not every camping trip has to be deep in the wilderness to feel like an adventure. Sometimes, the best trips are the ones that blend nature, convenience, and a little bit of city exploring—and that’s exactly what you get when camping at Rideau River Provincial Park. This park may be on the smaller side, but don’t let that fool you. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in charm, accessibility, and location. If you’re planning a getaw

There was a point where I looked in the mirror and barely recognized the person staring back at me. Not because I had gained weight. Not because my clothes didn't fit the way they used to. But because somewhere along the way, I had stopped doing the things that made me feel like me. My weight loss journey came to a standstill. The gym became a chore. Hiking boots collected dust by the door. Weekend adventures were replaced with excuses, and the healthy habits I had spent yea

There are some places you visit once and enjoy, and then there are places that become part of who you are. For me, Pog Lake Campground in Algonquin Provincial Park is one of those places. Every time I drive through the gates of Algonquin, I feel a sense of calm wash over me. The towering pines, the winding roads, the familiar smell of the forest—it all feels like coming home. While I've camped in many beautiful parks across Ontario over the years, there is something about Alg

One of the things I love most about camping is escaping the noise and stress of everyday life. There is something special about arriving at a campground, setting up your site, and spending a few days surrounded by nature. Public parks and campgrounds give us the opportunity to enjoy some of the most beautiful places in the country, which is why it is so frustrating to see how little respect some people show for them. Over the years, I have arrived at campsites littered with g

This year, we spent the May long weekend camping at Driftwood Provincial Park, and honestly, it was the perfect way to kick off camping season. What made this trip feel even more special for me was realizing that this blog has now been part of my life for three years. 🎉🎉 It’s honestly wild to think about how far Fitness Adventures with Liz has come since I first started sharing little pieces of my adventures online. What began as a small passion project has turned into some

For the longest time, fitness was part of who I was. The gym was my stress relief. Hiking with Rosie filled my cup. Meal prepping made me feel organized and in control. Movement wasn’t just about weight loss for me — it was about feeling strong, capable, and mentally clear. And then life changed. Over the last year and a half, I really started focusing on my mental health. After struggling quietly for a long time, I made the decision to start taking Lexapro. Honestly, it help

There’s something about hiking with a bulldog that instantly turns a normal trail day into an adventure. Maybe it’s the constant snack breaks, the stubborn pauses to inspect absolutely nothing, or the way they somehow manage to look both athletic and exhausted at the same time. Either way, a day at Rockwood Conservation Area with Rosie was exactly the kind of outdoor reset we needed. Just over an hour from the GTA, Rockwood feels like stepping into another world.
