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…

What’s Up April
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 obsessed with my Guilt Free: Chocolate Protein Mug Cake, if only I could make it at work 2.

Weekly Workouts 3/19 – 3/25
This week felt better than last, my strength is slowly getting back to where it was before I took some time off. I had my hardest week of my program, so the weights were a little lighter, otherwise I may not have been able to complete all of my sets. This coming week is my…
Weekly Workouts 3/12 – 3/18
This week was my first workouts back after being sick, and I could definitely tell that I took a break. I didn’t do my AMRAP workouts in two weeks so my deadlift and bench felt a lot heavier. I had to drop the weight on bench, but it’s all a part of the process. I…
Weekly Workouts March 5th -11th

Weekly Workouts 2/19-2/25
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…
Valentine’s in the Big Apple
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…
