This weeks workout was a little different for me because I took last Sunday off. To stay on track with my program I had to fit in my last lift from the prior week, and all five workouts of my current week. That means that I squatted 4 TIMES this week #woof. Luckily for me…
My trip to NYC started a little rocky as I realized I forgot my license at home. Luckily my dad was driving me, and my sister was able to bring my ID (thanks dad and Kris!). Luckily I made it to my gate right as my plane was boarding. I've never missed a flight and didn't want…
I saw Black Tap on Instagram and was mesmerized by the outrageous looking milkshakes. My sister Kris went there when she visited NYC and sent me some drool worthy snaps. I knew that Jon and I had to go the next time I was in NYC. Â The weather was pretty terrible, it was rain/snowing…
This weeks workouts felt really good. I didn’t do much accessory work so that I could give my body a chance to recover from these tough lifts. I still have one workout of the program left to do this week. On Sunday Jon and I decided to get caught up on This Is Us instead…
Full body workouts are great if you're crunched for time or are getting into lifting. When I first got into lifting I would pick one exercise for each muscle group, which is what this workout entails. Now I am on a training program but will do a full body if I'm traveling and can't get…
I saw recipes on Pinterest for pancakes with only two ingredients: eggs and a banana. I ended up tweaking the recipe a little to make it a banana bread instead of pancake. The pancake was really hard to flip because the batter was so thin. Ingredients: 1 Banana 2 Eggs 1/4 Tsp Vanilla 1/2 Tsp…
This weeks workouts felt really good, which means next week the weights will increase. I like my current workout program because it allows me to get comfortable with a weight before I increase it. Eventually I'll be able to reach all of my goal maxes, but until then I have to hold the vision and trust the…
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m at the point of hanger after my workouts. At work I make my oats ASAP, but when I’m home I always make this smoothie. It’s so easy to make and contains plenty of protein and carbs. This smoothie is perfect post workout because: Whey protein is a…
Pizza used to be a weekly occurrence for me until I realized how unhealthy it can be. However, this recipe is protein packed and guilt free. Jon and I have this whenever we are together and not eating Guilt Free Nachos. *Full disclosure: Jon created this recipe* I had never tried Naan bread before, but it makes…
This week I was on week 2 of my program and it was tough. I took two rest days because I was so exhausted. With tax season upon me and my free time limited, I'm making it my goal to complete all five of my lifts a week. Workouts this week: Monday: Vinyasa Yoga class Tuesday:…
