Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. I had an amazing week of workouts this past week. One of my fitness goals for 2018 was to squat 200# which I did this week!! It surprisingly didn’t feel that heavy...well relatively. On my last birthday I failed an attempt at 185#, so I’ve gained…

25 Life Lessons For My 25th Birthday
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe that I’m 25! It always seemed like such an old age to me, yet here I am, ready to embrace it. Maybe now I'll start saying you're only as old as you feel, and age is just a number. I had such an amazing 24th year and I know my…
What’s Up: August
I feel like I was just on the plane back to Michigan writing my What's Up: July post, where has the time gone??

NYC 2 Month Update
I can’t believe I’ve already been living in NYC for two months, time flies when you’re in the city that never sleeps!! I must admit, I wasn't sure how much I'd like city life, but I’ve adjusted quicker than I thought. However, ask me again in the winter and I might say otherwise... Fair warning: this post…

Trader Joe’s Top Five
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…

Weekly Workouts 4/9 – 4/15
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…
Weekly Workouts 4/2 – 4/8
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…
