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 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…

This mug cake is super low carb and protein packed, the perfect diet food when you’re craving something sweet. This…
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…
