Welcome!

I am very excited to announce my first post! My goal of this blog is to motivate readers to take advantage of the cities they live in and focus on maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle. As a 23 year old girl living in NYC there is certainly lots to get stressed about; we all know there is ALWAYS something to think about. My goal is to show you how working out, eating fun and healthy meals all while keeping an active social life truly eliminates miniscule stress factors from everyday life.

This mind frame all started back in college (Go Badgers!) when I entered my Sophomore year. I remember my mother telling me that integrating an easy work out routine into my day at school will make all the difference with the stress I felt from school work. Since this was the beginning of the semester, I will admit, I wasn't really worrying about my school work since mid terms weren't for another month. Either way, I took her advice and started going to the gym twice a week and would do an easy 45 minute routine. Once I noticed those freshmen pounds shedding I felt a new confidence which only gave me more motivation to prolong my workouts and go from twice a week to three times a week. Obviously in college it is difficult to maintain a steady routine but there is no doubt that my time to work out helped me clear my mind and sure kicked up my endorphins.

Now almost four years later, I am almost two years out of college and find that after a hard day at work, a solid work out is the cure for more things than just maintaining a healthy weight. Through out my blog I will share my recipes, work out routines, playlists and of course the social excitement of living in NYC.

Hope you enjoy!!!
