I finally made it back to NYC for the first time since my Valentine’s Day Weekend. I planned this trip to give me something to look forward to during busy season. I took off Friday and then flew out at 1:45pm. My flight out was so easy and I didn’t have any delays. I worked…

After our workout in Brooklyn, we were pretty hungry and wanted to grab a bite. We went to Pies’N’Thighs, which is a little hole in the wall type place. It was pretty small inside and very quaint. They played 50s music that was really catchy and had a homey vibe. It reminded me of being…

I've got another fully body workout for you to try on your own. What I love about full body workouts is that there's so much variety in exercises. I always like to pick my favorite exercise for each body part, but it's good to switch it up to reduce boredom and trick the body a…
Jon flew in to see me for Easter, so last Friday we had a much needed sushi date night. We hadn't seen each other for about six weeks, and during that time we always talked about getting sushi, so needless to say we were excited. We went to Shiro in Novi. I have been there…
Hi friends! I'm back on the blog! Last week was so crazy that I only worked out twice which is very rare for me. This week I did all 5 of my scheduled lifts, but worked out four days. Once these tax returns are filed I'll finally be able to get back into a more…
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…
