Get Fit with me just in time for bathing suit season!

Listen. I used to be the laziest person ever. Seriously. On a personal note when I went to Miami back in April I was unhappy with what I saw. (that’s a personal matter please don’t tell me I should be pleased.) Anyway, so when I got home I vowed to start eating healthier. And I realized that because of that decision I was going to try my best to buy organic foods and foods from my local farmers market. I’ve made some pretty great healthy dishes which I’ll share over the next few months.

A few weeks later I started exercising. Tone it Up and Xhit are two favorite you tube channels and I watch them obsessively.

Over the past several weeks I subscribed to Naturebox to get healthy snacks and bought a fitbit to track my progress and motivate myself. all these things combined lead to this moment.

All this being said, I invite you to join me in the #summerslimdown. We will tweet away with pictures, recipes, workouts and progress and I will share some healthy recipes and some apps I am using to help me stay on track over the next few months.

Let’s start it off with a basic simple recipe… Okay. two.

Spinach salad with blueberries and balsamic:

Doesn’t get any easier.  Grab some:
