The Catch-up... Where in the World is Bunny Bronson?
So I have officially transitioned to my new blog and here it is. I have been asked for a catch-up posting. Catch up starts here:
 |
In 2016 I moved back to Toronto, ON after a 5 year absence, It feels great to be back so far. I am living in Liberty Village, or Parkdale if you want to be a badass about it but it has been excellent so far. Rent is pretty insane in this area of town, but there is a LOT going on. I was chasing COO job prospects and tried to get in with a huge company coming north, and after a long application and interview process I was offered the ultimate position, but at a lesser salary. It was really hard. I however do not let set backs get the best of me, this positive pete has returned to the Recreation, Fitness and Health Field and I now have my own studio. I am the happiest I have ever been coaching, teaching, training, managing, instructing and helping motivate people in every way that I can.
In 2016 I left GolfNorth Properties and Waterloo, ON behind. I did not plan on moving back to Waterloo, ON again after the last time I lived there, but my ceiling caved in in my gorgeous little house in Elora, ON. I had to move somewhere quick and close to my chief position at GolfNorth Head Office. I enjoyed my condo in Waterloo, it had a private tennis court, fitness facility and great access to the highway (If driving is your thing, BLAH....) Anyway, Waterloo brought on a resurgence of health, fitness, tennis, and great times working with a bunch of friendly young vibrant ladies - The Golf Course was a lovely, lovely place to work. I also went to Dutchie's Market pretty often and love the fresh, wholesome love that they offered, Dutchie's Market - you are missed.
Bunny Bronson eh? But... I know you as Nikkita, or Kita, or Chubby Bunny, or Nikki, or Zajka, or Vandal... or...etc..
This could be the case, but yes I am officially all the way Bunny Bronson. At work, at home, online, and in-person - I am Bunny. The giraffe is still my power animal, but Bunny is a perfect name for me, Trust me. I do not take offence to being called Nikki or Nikkita, but if you are introducing me to someone new, the name is Bunny. I do not expect my amazing or way back family members to do anything they can not handle or that makes THEM uncomfortable, but I prefer Bunny.
I am in Super-Shape. I am still the fitness freak I have always been.
If it has been a while, a really long while since we have seen each other I may be slightly smaller than the last time I saw you. The most important thing to know is that I am in Super-Shape these days. I made a very fast-paced return to recreational and competitve sports. I was fortunate enough to relocate my gate, and get back into ultra-running. Maybe if it has been a SUPER long while since we have seen each other you may not know that after high school I got into adventure and travel. I worked on Cruise Ships, Travelled the World, worked as a professional Mountain Guide, Adventure Camps, Hiked everywhere, Lived in Alaska, the Caribbean, Nakiska, Boston, New York, K-Town, I am a Golfer and Tennis player everywhere I go, Instructor for many types of classes all over the place... I have always played sports and instructed yoga but I have recently obtained my CanFit Pro Certification to go along with my Exercise Physiology, KIN, RALS background, and energy surplus.
HEALTHIEST EVER ME. When you think of me, do you think of Allergies?
Many people may know me as someone who has a lot of allergies and food sensitivities. It turns out all along, all these years I was a Celiac. I have Celiac Disease which to break it down basically is a SERIOUS allergy to Wheat and Gluten.
Celiac Disease is not an allergy, but more of a serious affliction of the small intestine. For all the diets, working out, limited calories, and everything else I have endured to try to lose weight (Including getting called a Liar by my dedicated dietitian) http://www.celiac.ca/ My Celiac Disease was detected in 2014 by a walk-in-clinic doctor who was under 30 years old, and confirmed by a simple blood test within 48hrs. Surgical Intervention saved my life. I still have food allergies but in 2017 I will find out how many of them were Auto-Immune reactions due to my un-diagnosed Celiac Disease. I am very open to questions about all of this, e-mail me anytime. bunnybronson75@gmail.com
I have no complaints about my Celiac Disease. I am extremely thankful that I was diagnosed. I am also thankful that I have been able to heal most of the damage by following a particular diet. I find this diet to be the most fulfilling and open-options diet I have ever been on. Food is a whole new world for me, and I have the best and most options now of ever. I have always used food as a fuel to run my engine, and now I know which fuels work the absolute best for me, and which ones clog, damage or could kill my engine. I am so fortunate to be well-educated and connected in the health sciences field, and I will never take this access for granted.
Ballerina? Dancer? Performer? Make-up Artist? Fashion? Are you still a hairstylist? Are you still a Coach? What about Stratford? Yes. I made a return to dancing (people who really know me, know that I have never left) and I was asked if I would like to audition to train with a professional ballet company and possibly perform professionally as a dancer, you know... at 35 years old. I said yes. I took the guts approach and auditioned, and got in. Fast Forward, I am now training with a bigger school, Canada's National Ballet School. Dancing with the National Ballet of Canada as an artist performer is one of my best life achievements, to me. I love it. I am learning so much. I have a dedicated performance and instruction day on Mondays. Do not worry patients, I am still at Western to stretch you out on Fridays.

Coach? Yes I am coaching now in so many ways, want to know more? Ask. I will craft future blogs about coaching, I will make time. As for other career things I am currently working as a consulting COO as well as maintaining my position as the EP rotation supervisor at Western.
Oh Yeah. Stratford. Stratford is my home town. I know that people from the Minden/Haliburton area are likely feeling that is less than accurate, but to be honest I am not from Minden/Haliburton either. I moved to the county when I was a school-aged kid, and moved away while I was still pretty much a school aged kid (15, almost 16) I have lived away many years, more years now than I did in Minden. I have never felt a particular connection to anywhere hometown-wise except Stratford, ON. Not Toronto, not Cambridge, not NY and not Waterloo.
Stratford is a magical, picturesque, heavily equiped place with tonnes of resources where everyone says hello, remembers you, it is friendly, people do meet ups for drinks, walk everywhere, locals mostly enjoy the arts and the little things. Overall the attitude is festive in the Festival City. Stratford is beautiful. The Bronson's live there, who are extremely important to me, and most importantly my Mom lives there. Mom lives on her own in a quaint, gorgeous apartment that looks over the Avon River right in the centre of town. The Thick of it. Life is short, home is where my Mom is. I will end up back there one day. I still have many positive memories and connections from Minden/Haliburton and I am certainly not hating, but Stratford is home.
Reconnect? It has been awesome to reconnect with so many people. I was off of Facebook for three years, and out of the country for some years. I know that a lot of awesome things went on in my life and yours in those years. Thank you so much for reaching out, catching up, and offering hang outs for my resurgence to the city. If we have not reconnected yet, I am highly interested in getting together and catching up. If you knew me in my workaholic years, you should now know that I live a much better balance now and I put family and friends first. I am still a talkative, easy-going, low-judgement, high-energy motivational woman - If you need a boost, take me out for a coffee - You will not regret it.
What I am into these days? OH SO MUCH.
