january haul (workout edition)

Hi everyone! Here is part of my january haul -- the workout edition! I've decided that now is the time for me to get in shape and be healthy! New year, new start right? Here are a collage of items that I've purchased to help me complete my goals.

new year, new goals, new life... (workout edition)

new year, new goals, new life... (workout edition) by ladyem2 featuring nike

1.) Nike is probably my favorite shoe brand, maybe workout brand in general. I decided that it was time for me to get some new tennis shoes since my old ones are getting worn out. Plus they are a size-in-a-half too small! Ouch! They definitely aren't comfortable for walking long distance. The pair pictured above is the exact pair that I bought for only $69. I love the bright colors. These I bought at the store the shoe department. I'm not sure if that store is just local or nation-wide. I originally found a pair I liked at finish line, however they were around $150. I didn't even bother trying them on since I knew I wasn't going to be willing to pay that price tag. They were mint green nikes in case you were wondering.

2.) In order to get into walking (and hopefully running in the future), I need to keep myself occupied with fun music. I decided (after watching Pretty Little Liars) that I wanted an ipod that could clip to my clothes. Spencer had this version of the ipod shuffle in orange, however I loved this green-teal color. My version is actually skinner than hers. Mine doesn't have the extra space on the left. I got this at the apple store for $49. Walmart has these for $45, however I didn't want to order it online since I didn't know what color I wanted.

3.) I wanted to get a few things to keep my head warm while I was walking outside in this cold winter weather. I stopped at gabriel brothers for somthing else and found that they were having a huge sale on winter excessories. I got two headwraps like that northface one pictured in black and red. I also got another wrap similar in green without the velcro. I also stopped at pottery barn for somthing else and they had hats and gloves in the front of the store. I found a hat similar to the one pictured (without the tassels) and matching gloves. All of that was under $10!

4. I originally was looking at places like tj maxx and marshalls for clothes to layer when I'm outside. I didn't find anything that I liked enough to spend that much. Instead I went to my local goodwill and found a few long sleeves shirts and zip-up jackets that totaled under $15.


I think if you take the time to look, you can find great and affordable stuff to help in your new goals for the new year. My new year goal (or resolution) is to get active and be healthy. What's yours?



XOXO
