Cucumbers aren’t my favorite vegetable in the world, but this recipe helps me with my goal to eat more veggies. Cucumbers are mostly water so they keep you hydrated and full, and are incredibly low in calories. They’re also a great snack, especially if you are trying to lose a few pounds. This recipe is…
Happy Monday friends! Hope you all had a great weekend! We had a nice weekend with Jon's parents in town. We ate a lot of good food, so I should have some good workouts this week 😀 I had a solid week of workouts, it's amazing how being back into a routine and staying consistent…
Hi friends, hope you all had a great weekend! We had a nice and relaxing weekend and got some meal preps and cleaning done. We tried finding a couch but still haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?? I had some great workouts this week. I deadlifted my personal record for deadlifts yesterday and it felt…
Happy Monday! I'm writing this post from my new MacBook Pro! My old one would has been with me for eight years, so it was finally time to upgrade. We went to the Apple store this weekend and picked it up. The store was right by Central Park and was so crowded! It was a…

This week I ended up taking three off days from the gym instead of one. I had only one planned rest day, but the stomach bug had other plans for me. My workouts I did complete felt really good, maybe some time off will be a nice deload for me. I’m excited to get back…
This week I got a squat personal record of 190 pounds! It surprisingly didn't feel that hard at all. When I got my last PR it was a grinder for sure! I've gotten creative with my accessory movements and utilizing a lot of exercises on the cable machine and with dumbbells. I must say, the…

Jon and I celebrated our one-year anniversary last Tuesday. He suggested that we make dinner together at the apartment so that we wouldn’t have to worry about other people sitting right on top of us. Sometimes it’s a little awkward how close the tables are at restaurants here, it’s like you’re on a double date.…
