This weeks workouts were a little scrambled. My schedule was a little crazy this week and I ended up working out at a different gym every day! We went to a powerlifting gym in Brooklyn, NY with our friends that was pretty cool. It was no frills and only had powerlifting equipment like squat racks,…

As you all probably know by now, Trader Joe's is my favorite grocery store in the world. I love everything about it except how chaotic it is in NYC, but that's not their fault. I could just wander the aisles all day long and look at the new items. Throughout the years I've established my…

This week I only worked out twice which rarely happens. Work has been very busy and has definitely decreased my workout time. I also chose to spend time with family for the holidays instead of going to the gym. I used to think I had to workout everyday or I wouldn't make progress, but I…
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: I’ve been obsessed with my Guilt Free: Chocolate Protein Mug Cake, if only I could make it at work 2. What I’m reminiscing about:…
I’ve always seen people make mug cakes, but never attempted to make one until I made this. I WAS MISSING OUT! This smells and tastes just like a chocolate muffin, but is full of protein. This mug cake is super low carb and protein packed, the perfect diet food when you’re craving something sweet. This…
