Spring in my Step
Heyyyy 
How are ya? Happy Fashion Friday! Hope you have something fun planned for this weekend.
Pretty much every day this week, I’ve had an egg burrito on a brown rice tortilla.
When the tortilla is warm, I smear a little organic butter on it before adding the scrambled eggs, just like my madre used to. It reminds me of my childhood, eating an egg burrito in the car on the way to school 
This morning, before the egg-rito, I did a workout I haven’t done in FOREVER: Step!!
I used to be a step machine when we lived in NC, and taught step for about a year, but it’s definitely been awhile since I’ve gotten my V-step and triple knee repeater on 
It was a lot of fun.
Packed lonchi:
Salad beast with arugula, tomatoes, goat cheese, kalamata olives, Garlic Gold, basil, balsamic, chickpeas
+ quinoa to add on top
Amazing.
So even though it’s FREEZING cold outside, and usually most [normal] people focus on cute bundling clothes this time of year, my mind instantly shifts to spring. The stores start getting their spring shipments around January, and it makes me very excited When it’s cold, I wear many layers (most of which I’m lucky if they match), and don’t get too crazy with trendy stuff. When the weather warms up, my style comes out a little more LOVE dresses and skirts so much.
here’s what I’m looking forward to this spring:
Bold Colors:
Mixed prints:
Platforms and clogs:
Denim dresses and fun jumpers:
What are you most looking forward to about spring? Do you prefer fall/winter clothes or summer/spring clothes?
Well I’m off to do the work thang, but I hope you have an amazing day <3
xoxo

I love spring/summer clothes. So much variety. I usually wear a uniform in the winter–cords, long sleeve shirt w/cardigan or a sweater. I get bored and usually by the end of the winter I’ve exhausted all the different combos 🙂
YES step is awesome! I haven’t been to a step class in agesss though- must go again! 🙂
Ooh I love that print dress from Express! Loverly!
I definitely prefer summer clothes! They tend to be brighter colours, which I love! 😀
Oooh! I love that last denim wrap dress! Love the platforms too, but Id be well over 6 feet tall with them on…yikes!
i definitely prefer spring/summer clothes! cute dresses, skirts, shorts, etc. LOVE! also, i love strappy sandals and wedges. they’re the best! now i want it to be spring…
GAWD, haven’t done step in like 10 years!!!
Salad beast in looking good 🙂
I like your fashion Friday picks. Such a tease though…these nest few months are the LONGEST!!! My fav part about Spring is getting to work out outside again!! My baby girl is due the end of April, so I have that to look forward to the most!!
Have a fabulous weekend!!
One Springtime workout I think you may be interested in ( I know I am to the point of salivation)is the ‘sequel’ to Insanity – did you hear of this? It is going to be called The Asylum,and it launches in March or thereabouts, I believe. Oh happy day….! x
Salad looks amazing 😀
I am definitely a spring/summer clothes person. I’ve been stocking up on clearance denim shorts this fall/winter (yaayy $6 denim shorts at AE), yes even during the winter I buy summer clothes. . . and in the summer I buy summer clothes!
The one thing I really like about fall/winter clothes is BOOTS, LOVE them, all types.
I got an awesome denim dress last spring, can’t wait to wear it again!!
Plyometrics! And maybe some skipping rope? In a circuit…? Haha – thanks for throwing the workout “thang” at your readers! From a happy reader 🙂
I definitely prefer spring and summer clothes here in Cali!! I HATE jackets and sweaters. It doesn’t get cold enough here so I don’t want to spend too much money on cute peacoats and such. I can’t wait to go sundress shopping again
your salads always look so good and fresh! It’s been fun hearing about your old eats that you are putting back in your life! that bfast burrito sounds really yummy!
I love bold colors! Actually I like to sport bold color year-round! They cheer me up in the dreary months. 🙂

I have 100 pounds to lose so I would love to see something that helped to really helped to blast the weight off but also toned at the same time! Would you design an eating plan that would go along with it?! I’d absolutely LOVE it!
yes an eating plan is always included 🙂
Hey Gina,
My name is Jae and I was wondering… would you consider hula hooping (with a weighted one) to be a good workout? And do you know if walking 3.5 miles burns the same amount of cals as running it? I dont have a hrm (and the parents say no bueno to one as theyre are expensiv-io) and was wondering your intake.
thanks! 🙂
Do you ever look at Mark’s Daily Apple? He’s really into Primal Fitness. Could you include some of his stuff in the Winter Shape Up? I’m trying to get away from all the long-distance stuff I used to do. I think he has some good ideas but I don’t think I can follow his plan exactly. However, I want something new and I like the idea of getting back to basics.
Mostly I’m looking forward to being able to go for long walks by the river again – it’s just too freezing here in winter!
I actually prefer winter clothing, though – jackets, coats, scarves, mittens, ear muffs!!
I always get anxious about summer because I’d love to wear cute outfits but I feel like if you’re not in super amazing shape you look ugly. I hope that this year I have enough confidence and I am in good enough shape that I can wear whatever style and feel good about myself.
I can’t wait for spring! I love flowers and blooming trees and warmer temps. And spring dresses!
For the winter shape up – at home high intensity exercise ideas! I don’t have a dreadmill, so stuff I can really get my heart rate up with in my living room.
I would really love to see some workouts that can be done at home. I don’t have a gym membership and usually try to adapt most things to home, but it would be great if some workouts were tailored for it! Thanks Gina!
I Am looking forward to the winter shape up so much! I,m even basing the next two weeks from weeks two and three of the summer shape up to prepare for it! My favorite workouts are the weights work out for each group. They’re sooo effective!
i heart that scoop neck tank, its beautiful!
I can’t wait to not wear socks, i hate socks, i want to wear flipflops, I also hope to find some cute sundresses while in mexico for the upcoming summer.
What do you include in your scrambled egg burrito?? Such a great idea for mornings on the run!
As far as the winter shape up goes, I’d love to see a lot of exercises to build my upper body strength. I’m looking to do the Rugged Maniac 5K race in the summer (I know, a while away), but I’m super nervous about not having enough upper body strength for the barricades! Eeek!
I love spring clothes. Summer gets a little too hot and then I feel like I just wear the same tank tops and shorts to keep cool : ). Spring is nice because you get to wear light layers and feel the glorious spring breezes and sun on your skin. Ahhhh!
Fall and Winter is my favorite! I love sweaters and boots 🙂 Spring..hmm..I’m looking forward to being able to look sexy in a skirt after the Winter Shape up?! Speaking of Winter shape up, I would love more of your yoga inspired workouts. The last one you posted kicked my butt…and I loved it!
Any exercises using the body bar?
I’d love some more yoga inspired workouts! Incorporating more yoga into my routine is one of my new years resolutions. Thanks Gina!
Ah don’t be showing me cute spring time clothes already! I still have 4 months of winter. I’m finally embracing my peacoat, hats and scarves!
Haha, my little brother calls them eggy burritos. He loves when my nana makes those for him.
I’m a spring/summertime girl, for sure. I’m already over boots and sweaters, give me sundresses! I think my clothes just tend to be cuter in the summer.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE include spin!! (Haha clearly I love spin classes!) I’m home for winter break and the gym at my school doesn’t have them (like what’s up with that, NYU?!) so pleaseeeee give me some guide lines so I can make my own spin class! THANK YOUUUUU!
OMG I LOVE step!!! It’s hard to find a good class – it needs a serious revival!
i LOVE step classes! they’re so much fun…and definitely one of those aerobics classes i thought i’d hate. i’m not too proud to admit i was wrong though 😉 and that yellow dress? spring-y perfection!
I am such a spring/summer person! I hate wearing pants;)
How do you get your brown rice wraps to not split?! Mine always crack and flake:(
what brand do you use? the tj’s ones never break on me
I haave to say I do love the colors the most about spring!! I am excited to wear sandals , tanks, and sundresses again! Please spring get here fast! Im also excited because spring is my birthday time and then summer I am getting married! Woot Woot!
Happy weekend Gina! xoxo
I love spring clothes but I am sooooooooo not down with clogs, they’re so unflattering on the foot!! For me, less is much much more!
I love fall clothes!
and i’m most looking forward to sandals 🙂 yay!
Spring weather is my favorite! Im in SoCal so its not too hot yet and the birds are chirpin’…and cute clothes are to be worn 🙂 cant wait!
I also did Step this week! I love it and I feel like a dork which makes it even better. 🙂
Love the Aldo shoes!
ps -excited for Winter Shape Up! It starts the day after I get back from vacay and I’m feeling super motivated to get into an awesome fitness routine once I get home.
I like to think that I’m pretty fashionable (my family calls me the “fashion police!”) but I can’t get into wearing clogs! I just don’t understand them and they seem really clunky and unnattractive, although I know they are in-style!
I’m sooo just looking forward to not “warming up” my car every morning, bundling in boots, big coats and mittens just to go outside-ugh-what a drag:)
I LOVE spring/summer clothes. I always look like a total bum in the winter, but once the spring and summer come up I rock the shorts and dresses and everything…I just HATE being cold, so summer and no layers are my best friend!!
That yellow dress is a-dor-a-ble .
I am bundled up in sweatshirt and wool socks in my cold house in Toronto; as hard as I am trying, I can’t even fathom the thought of Spring! The outfits you pictured, though, are very cute!
I am ridiculously excited about platforms this spring. Love that yellow dress, too!
i don’t know what all the rules and regulations are for dance trance, but if it’s allowed, could you post some sort of tutorial for a song or something? that’d be super fun! if not, no biggie. i just thought i’d ask because i might be as in love with dance-y workouts as you seem to be! 🙂 thanks!
i can’t use the actual copyrighted choreography, but i could use my own for a song and do a video 🙂
that would be awesome!!!!!
Cardigan sweaters and I are true loves, so I like weather cool enough for those but warm enough not to have to wear tons of layers.
i guess i’m in the minority – i love winter clothes! give me boots, comfy sweaters, and adorable coats, scarves, etc.
Cute clothes! I love summery clothes and bright colors and wear flip flops year round so i definitely love summery and spring clothes but I also love a thick, chunky knit sweater that’s super cozy, too….so I am a mixture!
I hope you have a great weekend and step. Blast from the past. I havent done a Step classes in…ages! Hope you enjoyed!
🙂
Love all the clothes!
I totally prefer spring/summer clothes to fall/winter because there is so much more colour!! I’m looking forward to not having to bundle up every time I go outside, and to wearing something other than the blacks, grays, browns etc of winter.
