An Ode to Florida

Okay I’m sorry… this post has nothing to do with food. 🙂

013

It was another gorgeous day yesterday here in Florida. It’s SO NICE that it’s not a sauna here anymore like it was when I was living down here this summer.

022

Nothing makes me happier than being outside on a gorgeous day 🙂

There’s an awesome track near our house where I used to go work out this summer, and I went back yesterday morning.

Here’s my routine:

I start with a lap around the track (sprint the straights, jog the curves), and then do about 5 minutes worth of situps, pushups, squats, lunges, jumping jacks, dips, attempted chin ups (argh!!!), etc., and then do another lap and repeat the cycle with a variation of exercises about 6 times. It’s an awesome workout, give it a try if you have access to a track (or just do it in your neighborhood!) 

I also did some lying in the sun… it felt soooo nice 🙂 Don’t worry, I had sunscreen on! 😉

027

The rest of the day was spent eating leftovers and taking lovely walks along the water. I took a bunch of fun pictures for you guys. Enjoy 🙂

Look! There’s downtown Tampa across the bay!

Florida has the coolest birds. Check out their colorful beaks!

I especially love the birds that dive bomb the water in search of fish. So funny to watch!

I hope you’re all continuing to enjoy the holiday!

My dad (he got back last night) and I (and maybe my brother if we drag him out of bed) are heading out shortly for a run on this:015

It’s an awesome springy track made out of recycled tires that goes right by our house and continues along the water for miles. Amazing 🙂

Can I just stay here and not go back to D.C. where my final exams and cold weather are waiting??? Please??

 

p.s. I’ve been working on photographing a new exercise move for you guys per a reader’s request… stay tuned!! Would you rather see pictures of the move like I’ve been doing, or a video? Or both? I’m debating 🙂

    Glad you enjoyed it! This is my favorite time of the year here. The days seems brighter and you can actually enjoy being outside without suffering a heat stroke!! :)
