Jon’s birthday was on a Monday (June 25th), so we decided to celebrate the weekend before. In the morning we met our friends and lifted with them. I did some deadlifts while Jon benched with his bros. We went to Insomnia Cookies afterwards because I was starting to get hangry! We got the peanut butter…

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…

This week I got a squat personal record of 190 pounds! It surprisingly didn't feel that hard at all. When I got my last PR it was a grinder for sure! I've gotten creative with my accessory movements and utilizing a lot of exercises on the cable machine and with dumbbells. I must say, the…

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 🙌🏻.…
