I'm currently obsessed with this recipe! I've had a serving every day for the last week, and I'm not ashamed. I choose not to eat red meat so I have to make new recipes with turkey and chicken, otherwise I'll get sick of them and have to rely on eggs and protein powder to reach my daily…
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 recipe has been almost a year in the making. Last July Jon and I made these brownies and we’ve been talking about making them again ever since! These black bean brownies are great because they don’t have any added sugar or artificial ingredients. They are also full of healthy fat and fiber, and don't contain gluten or dairy.…
Jon and I celebrated our one-year anniversary last Tuesday. He suggested that we make dinner together at the apartment so that we wouldn’t have to worry about other people sitting right on top of us. Sometimes it’s a little awkward how close the tables are at restaurants here, it’s like you’re on a double date.…
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…

What I’m reminiscing about: Jon and I celebrated…
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…
Hi Friends! I’m officially Lyssy in the City! It's been a busy last week trying to finish packing and seeing everyone before I left. It still seems so surreal that I'm really living here, I'm so used to being here for only a weekend. In February I asked my firm if I could transfer to…
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…
I love salads because they’re usually pretty lite and there’s such a variety of different kinds. I always add salmon or chicken to my salad to get some protein. I like to make sure my salad is packed with protein and micronutrients so that I get all of the health benefits. Some salads can sound…
