Workout Fashion

Well I have to say one of the parts of working out that I like is the clothes.  It just makes me feel better about working out if I think I look half way decent.  I when I was 148 which for a 4'11 girl is hefty I mostly just went with black workout pants and a big t-shirt and that wasn't exactly my favorite outfit.  I lived in that outfit as I would wear it to work (very lucky for that) and then to the gym which I was doing at least 3x a week.

In the Weight Watchers magazine I seen this article

Now that I am down in weight it sure is nice to wear other things

 I love MizzFit and her blog- she had pinned this outfit and I LOVE IT!

 She is so cute - I'm really digging pink and black as well as the coral I've been seeing around!

 I'm NOT  a fan of Kim K.- but I do enjoy seeing what it is exactly she wears to the gym as she is a girl with some substance which most of us are- THANK GOD!

 Not all of us are like this young lady- although I like her little get-up.

 There's those coral sneaks  :)
   
   And here she is preggo and going to workout-

 I LOVE these sneaks!!  I love the black with a pop of color!

Now I AM a fan of the Princess!  I love her bright sneaks as well!

I

 So based on what I've been seeing around I decided on a couple new items for my workout collection- I did have to get rid of a few tops and bottoms as they weren't doing it for me not that I've lost a little more.
  I really thought this outfit was adorable:

OK- the sneaks I'm not digging, but everything else looked sharp to me.
 I'm on tight budget lately with the house building and all.....So what's really nice about this outfit (excluding the sneaks) is it cost me under $60.

I must say I love this jacket a lot- I hope it holds up- I do wash all my blacks in black detergent and I try not to over dry.

 Ok the tank (pink and black) comes with a bra inside- but there is no way for me to wear that alone as my insert wouldn't work and it's pretty thin for coverage.  So I did purchase the tank to wear over it and I like it.

 I do love the cut out on this workout tank- it's cute.  I purchased a size small, but I could probably wear an extra small - but I don't think they carry and that.

Here is the top alone- not a very good picture- sorry.  Gee you can only see my foob side- if you were to see the other side you would see a headlight...lol. One good thing about a foob- headlight is never on- I love that.

I do like these capris a lot as well.  I think I could also wear a size smaller in these.  I did wear them to a Pilates mat class and they were fine.  I don't know if I was doing the reformer if they would work as well as reformer calls for fit full coverage clothes.  I've been known to pull up my pants too much.  lol

These pants are really comfortable- they are not supportive as in tight.

 And here is the back of the top.  I like this top because most of mine are racer back and this one isn't.

This is also nice because if I don't want to wear the white tank over this I could wear a racer back sports bra instead and that will allow me to wear my insert.

 It looks cute for a different look

So all in all I really like this inexpensive outfit. It runs on the big side- but it's very comfortable and light weight.  Like I said I did wear it to class and I really didn't do any fidgets!
I actually ran out after my class and not only did I not feel like a slob I thought I looked pretty good.
I think the jacket really makes a difference- it's fitted with some stretch and it's ruched around the wrists.

And where did I get this?
Kmart :)
You know me and the big K.

Cheap Trick Tuesday

Recently when I went away with my girlfriends I had packed my iphone speakers, but then unpacked them because I was running out of space.  I really missed not having it.  SO the other day I was in Walgreens and seen this little thing.  No batteries, no cord just booming sound so I decided to get it and check it out.

It's EggBeats- $9.99






Here's a quick little look at it
Sorry my video quality isn't the best.

It does get the sound out and it's really nice that you don't have a cord or batteries to take.  It's small enough that you can just pack it right inside a pair of shoes.

The package claims that you can you this with iphone 4, 4s, and 5.  I'm not so sure about iphone 5- but I'm sure it can be returned if it doesn't work.

NYC

 

I fell in love with this goat creature- it's like he was looking right at me.  :)

 

Well you go to NYC and something very sneaky happens to you

 

YOU GET INSPIRED!

Even if you are not an inspiration junkie- It's happens to you and you may not even realize it.

 

I walked a lot when I was in the city, because that's the best way to window shop, and relieve stress before going to my doctor appointment.  I snapped a couple of pictures on my travels and realized that I was inspired by some things I seen.

 

 

This was the incredible view of the Hudson River from our 29th floor suite at Trump SoHo!

SoHo- stands for South of the Hudson.

Anyway-

The water is so beautiful and blue and I love it with all the grays and beige- it made me appreciate all the blue denim and beige I seen when browsing in Zara's 5th Avenue shop.

 

I loved this scarf- but boy was it pricey!

Notice the shoes with the jeans.....love it!

 

and seeing all the black pumps with boyfriend jeans made me LOVE the look of boyfriend jeans with black pumps

 

 

I only made 1 clothing purchase and it was this one

 

As you know shopping on 5th Avenue can be just not something you want to do, but getting inspired is free and you can always create your own similar look for a price you feel comfy with.

 

like this out fit for example

 

 

Here's what I found similar- to try and recreate the look: 

Sweater Target

 

Shorts

 Shoes Target- have these- LOVE them!

Shirt Forever21

 

 

I love this statue at Grand Army Plaza

                    Here at 59th Street and Fifth Avenue are the Pulitzer Fountain and the Golden statue of William Tecumseh Sherman who was a United States general in the American Civil War

(1861-1865).                  

 

 

 

 

Gold statue and green grass may have been my inspiration and thirst for Gold shoes and this Green army-like button jacket!

 

I also love this jacket from Kmart

 

with these adorable shoes - also Kmart

 

And after seeing the beautiful flowers you can see either in your hotel or on a street corner you just can't help but love and crave the bright colors of summer to come!!

 

 Also loving these shorts- Kmart

with these shoes from Aldo

Just walking around Anthropologie get's the juices flowing to create something fun for Spring.

 

 

 

I just love window shopping in NYC!!

I stayed right near Rockefeller Center so I was right around the corner from 5th Avenue

 

How cute are these?

 

I wish Rob would wear these shoes.

 

And how about this men's lapel pin- an Anchor- I LOVE IT!!!

 

Ted Baker London

 

 

 

 

And the most peaceful place- I was so blessed to stop there after my appointment and it was amazing!

 

  

 

On this trip I had stayed with Rob at the Jewel right near Rockefeller Center and right around the corner from 5th Avenue.  I could see St. Patrick's Cathedral from my room window!!!  It was a great little hotel to stay at!!!

 

 I was so happy to attend Sunday mass at St. Patrick's Church

 

And it was a great appointment with my doctor and good blood work numbers!

 

 

Ok- I'm probably back on track with losing, but the last week has been rough.  I went from wanting to eat everything to not feeling well at all.  I hate to admit, but I had high hopes of taking more vitamins- got everything organized and ended up not doing it and so I also skipped my tamoxifen.  I think when I miss it my body actually goes a little wacky.....I like me periods better when I am on my tamoxifen.  I just hope to high heaven that it's doing it's job because I have been having periods.

Ok enough of that crap....and I hate seeing my toes....I need to use the scale at the gym again!

I've been gearing up for fall and so I've been organizing my clothes and checking to see if I need anything and well I got a couple of things and I'm almost done......just need a pair of black leggings and a pair of plain jeans.  I may grab a cute black bootie, but that would only be from Payless and it'll have to be cheap.

When I say done I mean I will then be fasting from any spending and I may also get myself on a nice food fast.  I'm debating on 21Day Cleanse from Kris Carr's book or my own concoction.  We'll see.

I was in Walgreen's and noticed they had some Buy One get One for 50% off

I love ROC products- I love using the wrinkle serum

 so I decided to try a couple others so far I've only used the primer and like it



They also have the same deal on Maybelline Foundation, Powder and Face items
I really like this Maybelline highlighting concealor in Radiant

 And I also like their powder Dream Matte in Sand

 Then over at Puma the sale is 40% off with coupon code:  PUMAAFF912- I believe even the sale items get a discount.

I'm addicted to my Speeders

And SHAPE'S free workout mix for September is SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
