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 on a smoothie kick lately. You can check out my favorite recipe here. What I’m reminiscing about: how much fun I’ve had with…
I absolutely love eating oats for breakfast. They're an excellent carb source and keep me full all morning long. I usually eat microwaveable packets because they're so convenient, but they can include unnecessary sugar (this is why they taste so good). This recipe that Jon created has no added sugar because of the sweetener, and tastes almost like you're eating dessert. The PB2…
My workouts are always a little all over the place when I travel. I'm switching to a new program when I come back from Portland, so I didn't follow my program to the T this week. I was a little distracted and unmotivated during my workouts during the week, but that's a normal thing to…
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…
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…
I recently purchased some PES peanut butter protein powder because I heard it's the best protein for baking, and I was curious. I love peanut butter cookies, but recently I've been all about almond butter. I made this recipe so that I could satisfy my sweet tooth without busting my diet. I will say that…

This week I finally had some great workouts 🙂 I increased the amount of sets I did from last week and was able to complete all my reps. Over the weekend I added in more accessory movements after my main lifts and enjoyed not having to work all weekend. I put that extra time to…
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…
