you tube videos can actually be good workouts

after a great spin this morning, but then a large amount of chocolate and frozen yogurt to follow, i was looking for a quick fun video to do in my apartment. i had see the toneitup girls on cupcake dynamite a few days before, and i really enjoyed the arm toning video. i decided to go back for another and found the sandcastle workout. it is kind of random in that i wasn't looking to do abs or arms or anything in particular. this video was great though because it targeted a lot of areas and mainly i could just feel my core working pretty hard. 

and now my attempt:  
overall, i thought it was a great little tonin' vid. i will definitely do it again soon. as for a life update, this week was RATHER random. we had a boatcruise for work.which was..an absolutely blast. the views of the city were unbelievable!
 and my ENTIRE team wore stripes. people after my own heart.
 speaking of stripes..i ordered this uber cheap dress from target..pretty cute huh?
okay so maybe the stripes envelop my waist a bit and i lose all sense of definition. but you know what. it's striped. so it's fine. and it was 18 dollars. as for the rest of the weekend, we cheered on t's sis in law at the NYC tri..she is a rockstar
i want to do a triathlon so bad. too bad i am afraid of going more than 2.2 mph on my bike, and the only swimming i can do is the breast stroke. after watching the tri, we headed to soul cycle, where i can pretend i am awesome at riding my bike, without ever falling off and or crashing into a tree. (yes that happened once. albeit, i was on a fourwheeler, but still. and i backed into a tree once in my car. oy) after spin, since we were on the UWS, i begged t if we could had 16 handles for breakfast. he obliged but made me get ninnymuggins toppings. BS.
if i had it my way, the ratio would be 65% yogurt covered pretzels, 25% cookie dough bits, 25% reese bites and 40% red velvet fro-yo. oh wait, that does not equal 100. whatevs. i was never good at math any way. (has anyone seen friends with benefits? actually a really funny movie..) after fro-yo, we decided we needed more food. we headed to our favorite new restaurant near the new aparmtnet. cowgirl seahorse. i highly recommend it. the food is banging and the decor is even better. and for those of you that know me well, you realize i LOVE seahorses. and did you know, they often die of exhaustion from swimming counter current? such sad fates they have. 
i forgot to take a picture of these inside because i was too busy demolishing this: 
and of course, the epic after shot. i was hungry.
