This Is Me

My name is Morgan and I started Life After Bagels to share all about how I stay healthy and fit.

I live in Toronto, ON with my boyfriend Brad.

I recently took a leap and faith and left a career that I loved to go back to school full time.  In January 2011 I started working on an Honours Bachelor of Administrative Studies degree at York University.

Now I’m studying, blogging, working part time and trying to fit all of my healthy adventures into a tight budget.

Wish me luck!

Blogging Since: August 2009

Vegetarian Since:  July 2008

Running Since:  August 2009

Cycling Since: May 2010

    Hey, I work in the beauty industry too and am also trying to live a very healthy life. I’ve been mainly vegetarian since June of 2008 and insist on doing it without relying on pasta and “bagels”. I still eat fish and eggs occasionally, but due to an allergy/intolerance I can no longer have cheese…My brother/best friend is a vegan and we are always looking for new recipes and people to share them with. Thanks for the blogging…:)

  11. Penny says:

    Wow. We should all start some kind of club “Summer oh-niner bloggers” or something. :-)

  21. I am curious, why “Life After Bagels”? I wasn’t sure if maybe you discovered a gluten intolerance or something in addition to becoming vegetarian?
