Adventures in Whole Foods: TOSCA! TOSCA! TOSCA!

Sooooo...today I met Tosca Reno! And in honour of the experience, I decided to write a little something I like to call "Ode to Tosca"

Tosca,
You are awesome.
That is all.

:)

This is a woman who decided one day to take control of her life and made it happen - and in her 40's became a fitness model!

Inspiration has a name: Tosca Reno

The new Loblaws at the old Maple Leaf Gardens hosted a presentation by Tosca Reno. For $10, my pal Jenn and I (Hi Jenn!) got to hear Tosca speak, get our books signed, meet her, and they even gave us a nifty little gift bag! It was fabulous! Tosca has a really easy speaking style and her passion for the subject of eating clean is not like one of those hyper-this-is-the-only-way-to-live kind of things. She is very easy going and no nonsense about how to live a clean eating lifestyle - and not preachy or condescending(not that I expected her to be- I guess I am just comparing her to other fitness types who just seem to be that way). When I got to meet her, she was very warm and engaging and she signed my book and let us take pictures and it was just awesome!!!!!!!!!! And inspiring. I absolutely need to get back into this lifestyle!

I have a ways to go yet, but with the tools Tosca talks about, I know I can do it!
(ignore how gross I look because I dragged my sorry-sick-@ss down there and I tried not to infect anyone with my gross cold! Jenn, however looks positively radiant despite the early (for a Saturday) start!)

Now a word or two on the new Loblaws at the old Maple Leaf Gardens: HOLY CRAP! (Two words - ha!)

This store is AMAZING! HUGE! And has everything a girl could want! See the pics:
