fast track to summer.

i realized that summer is fast approaching,

and i'm not quite prepared.

it's funny the things we do to get beach ready:

tone up our bodies, search for the perfect suit,

and, uh...tan privately first...so that we can

hit the beach already tanned??

a few years ago i didn't think about any of this. with sunny weather year round, we're always beach ready.

however, since acquiring mini #2,

i have become a bit more self-conscious.

in addition, having two minis doesn't leave me with much free time.

so, i try to soak up the sun whenever and wherever i can,

by wearing my suits while paying in the yard or washing the car,

snacking on fruits instead of those chocolate chip cookies,
squeezing in some exercises while sitting at my desk,

doing squats and lunges while brushing my teeth.

things like that...

is there anything you do to get beach ready?
