Tone It Up!

while i was away traveling last week, nyc apparently decided to kick the weather up a notch into the 70s. everyone online bragged about the warm rays and took endless photos of themselves hanging in the parks. but alas, i returned to a city that decided to drop back down into the 40s and 50s. but the big apple isn't fooling me. i know summer is right around the corner, and that means it's time to tone it up!

last year, i came across these amazing female trainers, karena and katrina of tone it up! they're gorgeous, have amazing bodies and more importanly, make working out and eating healthy fun. i followed their plan last summer and lost 10 pounds, which i've somehow managed to keep off. but with another summer season around the corner, it's time to get myself back in gear (i was pretty lazy during the fall and winter, but there's something about the thought of getting into a bikini that suddenly makes you daydream about spinning and fantasizing about salads and smoothies).

so i finally put my gym membership back into use, and boy am i feeling it! my arms are sore, i can't even laugh without my abs telling me to cool it, i'm pretty sure my legs are going to give out on me tomorrow after this morning's spin class. but no pain, no gain right? anyone else getting themselves in shape for summer?

ps - fun update from a previous post. i found a pair of black sneakers at dsw this weekend, and am loving them!!! and they have a cool design element where i can change their appearance, just check out the pics below!
