Tik Tok...
Yes, you heard it! Those are the seconds that are quickly passing in the countdown towards bikini season!!! Ahhh!After training for and running a marathon for Team in Training in '06 and then subsequently partying my little (ok, not so little!) hiney off in NYC for the better half of '07, I never really got back on the workout wagon! '07 also marked my entrance into the grown up world of working 50+ hours a week and sometimes more, and it was so, that I never achieved that perfect work/life balance. Happy hour (especially in the midst of Manhattan withdrawals) was just much more comforting than the silly treadmill!
FINALLY after 2 years of being miss fatty pants, sheesh I can't believe I let myself be photographed in a bikini LY, not to mention these photos are tagged on FB! ekk!- I'm back with a vengeance!! Kelly Ripa, a.k.a. K RIPPED if you hear me gushing about her, is my new role model. I know better than to compare myself to the likes of Marissa Miller, and Kels has a petite frame like me so I have deemed her a realistic idol! She also jokes about her "girls" or lack thereof, which makes her even more like me! LOVE her!!
Are you on the workout wagon? I just wanted to share a few of my fave workout songs as of late! This is my soundtrack to kickboxing a.k.a. turbokick, spinning, strength training a la P90x, hip hop hustle (So fun!), and whatever else entices me to hop into my beloved Under Armour!

What's on your workout playlist? Quick! Share! Before I'm so over mine and lose motivation :)
xoxo My little gym rats!
What I'm doing to get back into bikini shape:
1. Swimming
2. I just started on something new today: Gyrotonics. It's inspired by yoga.
3. Now that the snow and ice are melting, I'm back on my bike
For the first two things, I don't have any music. I've been thinking of getting a Swimman (a watertight Ipod) though, so I can have music in the pool, too. For the gyrotonics, I have a private trainer, and I guess the point would be lost if I didn't listen to what he's saying. :)
Playlist about 200+ songs, but here's a selection:
1. JLo - Love don't cost a thing
2. Shakira - same as yours, I love that song
3. Def Leppard - Hysteria
4. Odds & ends -That's what dreams are made of (from the 1988 Summer Olympics album)
5. Def Leppard - Pour some sugar on me
6. Christina Aguilera - Dirrty
7. Pink - Just like a pill
8. Fort Minor - Rember the name
9. Enrique Iglesias - Push
10. Tone Loc - Funky Cold Medina
I like fast music when I work out. :)
