New Threads {Review} + {Goals Update}

Hello Friends!

How is your week going?

And more importantly..how are your New Years Resolutions coming?

Mine are going pretty well…

• I’m keeping up on running for my goal towards my first half-marathon.  My miles are a little less than what I was planning on but I still feel pretty confident in my capabilities.  (I still need to sign up for a 10K in preparation…there is a Leprechaun Chase in March…we will see!)
• I’ve read one book this month: Julie and Julia
• I’ve developed some healthified sweets:
• Semi-Healthy M&M Cookies
• Crazy Brownies
• I am filling out the application for my associate’s degree (due Feb 1st!)
• I did not know this was due February 1st until today.  It turns out if a student has completed their required classes in the winter quarter (as opposed to the Spring quarter), their application is due sooner.  Who knew?
• I am also working on a having a guest post for late February.  So. Excited.  An amazing blogger has agreed to do a post for a series I will be hosting involving body image.   Which brings me to my next goal I’m working towards…
• Having a blog series (In the works!  Stay tuned!)

In other news…

 

I won a $100 visa giftcard from my wings-and-beer job (God knew I was in need of some new clothes) so I headed to Target.

I was in search of two things: light-weight and not skin-tight pants, and sports bras that help with, ahem, cold gym issues.

You know what I realized when I got home?  I had bought all one brand of gym clothes.

I am not a huge brand-name girl.  I know the kind of jeans I like, I love Maurices and Kohl’s, but other than that I just buy what looks nice.

All of the gym clothes I bought were Champion.  I went to my room and searched my other sports wear and most of it is Champion as well.

Now I know. 🙂

The jacket here is also made by Champion and is also light weight and comfy

I liked the pants because they were light and airy and I was able to go through a Body Pump class and/or running on the treadmill without my legs feeling hot and sweaty.  The pants actually feel a little silky and luxurious.

I found a sports bra that is probably my new favorite due to it’s nice coverage/cold gym issues.  It’s also super comfy, not too tight, not too loose…just right. ($20)

I also found some other ones on clearance.

$8 on clearance but the top one is a little tight

I also got two shirts (a blue one and a pink one) and the texture is amazingly smooth and lightweight.  Can you tell this is something I look for in workout gear?

Plus the bright colors make me excited to workout!  Who could ask for more?

I am loving the semi-fitted clothes from Champions!

I will be running in these ensembles the next couple of days outdoors since it is in the 50s here.  (Seriously is it January?  I really can’t tell.)

It’s time for me to get ready for the wing-n-beer job.  Maybe I will win something else tonight?

Have a great week everyone!

How are your New Years resolutions coming along?


Do you have a favorite brand of workout clothing?
