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

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. Massive lime

There’s something about a winter weekend in Ottawa that feels equal parts adventure and comfort. Snow-covered streets, historic buildings, and the promise of skating the world’s largest outdoor rink make it a perfect quick escape—especially when you’re staying somewhere as iconic as the beautiful Fairmont Château Laurier. This trip had a little bit of everything: movement, great food, historic pubs, and a reminder that sometimes the best memories come from plans that don’t go

When most people think of camping at an Ontario provincial park, they imagine towering trees, quiet forest sites, and the feeling of being far removed from everyday life. Craigleith Provincial Park doesn’t quite fit that picture — and that’s something worth knowing before you book. Craigleith is much more of a trailer-style campground than a rugged, backcountry escape. Campsites are close together, many are designed for RVs and trailers, and privacy is limited compared to mo

Ontario Parks have a way of meeting you exactly where you are — whether you’re looking for a gentle walk to clear your head, a challenging hike that leaves your legs burning, or a place that reminds you how deeply connected land, water, and history really are. Day-use parks are especially powerful because they make adventure accessible. You don’t need reservations, gear bins, or vacation days. You just need time, curiosity, and a good pair of shoes. Over the years, I’ve spen

One of the most common things I see as a nutrition coach isn’t overeating — it’s under-fuelling. Especially among people who love to move. Whether it’s hiking, camping, long walks, gym sessions, or just staying active day to day, many people unintentionally treat food as something they need to earn instead of something that supports movement. But movement isn’t powered by willpower.It ’s powered by fuel. Movement Is a Stressor — Fuel Is the Support Any form of movement place

Some camping trips are all golden-hour sunsets and quiet mornings by the lake. Others test every ounce of patience, preparation, and calm you have. Our trip to Bon Echo Provincial Park during the derecho firmly landed in the second category—and it’s one I won’t ever forget. Bon Echo is one of those parks that feels almost sacred the moment you arrive. Mazinaw Rock towers over the lake, ancient pictographs etched into its face, the kind of place that naturally slows you down.

I grew up in the Peterborough area and still visit my parents regularly. Until recently, I had never set foot in the Canadian Canoe Museum . It’s one of those places you hear about but never quite make it to — always thinking, "I’ll go another day." When I finally went, I was honestly surprised by how much it made me reflect on Canadian history and my own connection to the outdoors and the waterways I’ve spent so much time around. A Perfect Location The museum’s new location
