I hope everyone had a great fourth of July weekend! It was HOT here in Boston, but I was able to make it to the beach for one day and dunk my body in the ice cold ocean water. It is a love hate relationship.

I know some of you have been asking to see our first dance, so here it is!

We took lessons at Ballroom in Boston and really loved working with Lilia. Lilia made us feel comfortable and confident and she allowed us to add our own moves and creativity to the dance. Even if you do not plan to do a choreographed first dance, taking lessons with your partner is a very cool experience and you will connect on a totally different level. Keep a look out for groupons and special deals online, they come up often! Enjoy!

Are your triceps feeling jiggly?

It always happens. The time between Christmas and New Years where people start to slack at the gym. My class numbers slow down and then BOOM come the New Year the number of students in my classes sky rocket and people are back at it. I myself have been eating more "sweets" than normal, and my workout schedule has been all over the place... so really no schedule. This is partly due to the fact that a lot of my classes have been cancelled due to the holiday and new year.

I just got back from lunch with my mom and future sister in law. I got a salad nicoise, actually one of the best salad nicoise I have ever had. And then we split the masterpiece featured above. We didn't even know where to start! It was huge, so we didn't end up finishing it, but it was good. It was filled with vanilla and raspberry ice cream and some kind of vanilla cakey stuff. I also had a cup of peppermint tea. YUM.

Here is a video to get you back into the groove. Lets target those triceps, and get rid of the jiggle in time for the new year. On Friday I will be posting a full body workout to get you ready for your New Years little black dress!
