"NYC Based Food and Travel Blog"
Happy Monday! I'm writing this post from my new MacBook Pro! My old one would has been with me for eight years, so it was finally time to upgrade. We went to the Apple store this weekend and picked it up. The store was right by Central Park and was so crowded! It was a…
This week was my last ever lift at Lifetime Fitness and I was quite sad, it’s been my favorite gym that I’ve belonged to. Jon and I both benched and had decent workouts. We were still recovering from the stomach bug and missed workouts so weren’t on our “A game”. Now that I’m healthy and…
I’m going to start linking up with the first blogger I ever read, Shay Shull, for my What’s Up posts. Each month I’ll be answering the following questions: What I’m eating: Based on our freezer we only eat naan bread pizza, post workout smoothies, and ice cream. But seriously, Jon and I eat this naan…
This week I ended up taking three off days from the gym instead of one. I had only one planned rest day, but the stomach bug had other plans for me. My workouts I did complete felt really good, maybe some time off will be a nice deload for me. I’m excited to get back…

Happy Monday friends! This week was my first round of morning workouts since the move. It feels great to be back into a routine, I definitely need that. We have a gym in the apartment, so it makes my morning workouts so much easier, and I can get an extra 45 minutes of sleep 🙌🏻.…
This was my first week working out in NYC and it went very well. A year ago I could barely bench 115# for one rep, and this week I got three reps with 115#. I've consistently been on a program the past year with a goal of getting stronger. I held the vision of being…
This week was my last workout at Lifetime Fitness! I had a great last workout there. There is an apartment gym that I’m using and has mostly everything I need. One day we will join an Equinox gym once we get settled and live closer to one. They are pretty equivalent to Lifetime, but maybe…
It’s been a busy week of packing, but I got all of my lifts in 😀I made sure to start my day off at the gym so that I wouldn’t get too tired and make an excuse not to go. This was my second week of the new program and it went really well. It’s…
