Though I'm committed to being frugal {let's get real, I've never been frugal in my life...except when I have no money.}, I know that my weight loss journey demands appropriate gear. In this post, I talked about some of the stuff I want to help me get my butt in shape for up and coming 5k-ness.
I was able to get these from here. Vanessa from Ruffles With Love (an etsy shop) was absolutely awesome! On Monday, we talked about the possibility of her making the shirts and then getting them here before I left on Friday, and she was all for it! I checked my email Tuesday morning and I already had a tracking number waiting for me. That's some serious production power. Thanks, Vanessa!!
Also, I headed over to Target and picked up my first pair of compression shorts and four new {neon!} C9 sports bras: yellow, blue, pink, and lime. Perfect in time for summer.
Face it, I look fab. {lol.} But seriously. I'm feeling super good about my weightloss. I'm down 13 lbs since February. Sometimes I look in the mirror and don't feel like I've made any progress, but when I can fit into pants that I haven't worn in about two years....it's hard to deny.
A slight change of plans is allowing David to leave town with me on Friday. While I was anticipating spending five days away from him, it looks like I'll just have to be forced into his company. {Please.} It doesn't count that the real reason he wants to come with me is not because he'll miss me, but because he doesn't want to miss out on epic waterpark-ness going down on Tuesday. What a guy.
Anywho, I'm not sure how often I'll be blogging from South Florida, but I'll only be away from you fine readers until the 23rd. Look for my Thursday and Friday link-ups before I head out of town. Happy week, darlings!

and good luck with the rest of your training!
You go girl!
I so badly want to lose 13lbs!
You are quite an inspiration :)
Much appreciated, guys. It's been a struggle, but I'm working hard. Eating like an animal the past few days should not count against me. :D
Great now I feel like I need to go jump rope..and eat pizza rolls.
I've been so fat this week. After like 7 helpings of lard-dinner (Easter) and our spontaneous venture to Sonny's BBQ...I could just throw up for days. I was all "I NEED IT!!!! om nom nom nom." and then I was all "please...please help me" as David rolls me from the table like the blueberry girl in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Now if only I had some self control....
congrats on your weight loss! you look amazing!
I think everyone needs a break from dieting every now and again. Also, you're looking awesome!! Congratulations on the new workout purchases! Having good workout gear is totally essential to working out: if anything, knowing how cute your new clothes are is added motivation to go show them off.
