Working Out & Stuff

You know what is embarrassing? When your gym phone you to see if you are still alive, as you haven’t been in for so long and you have to tell them that yes, you are alive – just lazy and lacking in motivation.

I thought that a fitness dedicated post might help me, but who am I trying to kid, if you want to work out, you do it.

I don’t know about you, but I find that when I have cute gym clothes on, I feel better.

I know that some people say that is ridiculous and who cares what you wear when you go to the gym, but I stand by that.

Now, please do not take my poor techniques as good techniques. I would hate to be the cause of someone injuring themselves after looking at my photos. These photos were taken in a hurry as The Husband was not willing to take more, so they will have to do.

 I don’t get a shot to have multiple photos taken, he takes one and that is the one that will be used. Please. I need a new photographer! Anyone willing? You will have to shadow me and drop what you are doing at a moments notice when I whine "Quick. Take a photo of me". You can also not eat your meal unless I have taken a photo of it AND you will have to brave the elements to take outfit posts on our balcony. Apply below with your credentials and why you are so awesome.

I love Tricep Dips, but would not usually be doing them on something so high. This is not good for me.

I finally got new runners and my ankles are much more supported now. Hoorah.

I got these Asics after Boxing Day and was sad to find out that they were still $150. Damn. I wanted a bargain.

Look, I’m pretending to run on the spot. You cant really tell so you will have to take my word for it.

Picture me, saying “Okay, now take action shots” and The Husband just shaking his head sadly at me, like I am a lunatic. Whilst he might not be the most willing photographer, at least his angles always make me look thinner than I am. Take that, thighs!!

The top that I am wearing in these photos is from Urbane Active and I got it from Myer for $20 on sale, bargain.

I love this Lorna Jane Kara Crop, but if I was going to do anything more than walk, I would also be wearing one of my Berlei sports bras under it. I just don't feel supported in these, and they say that they are for Medium Impact Activites. Not for me, no sir-ee. I think they are super cute to prance around in, but if I am going to be running I need my breasticles strapped in tight.

A cute back is needed. I'm talking about the crop top back, not my back which is sloppy.

Okay, maybe this isnt the Kara crop now that I compare backs. I don't know what this is. Sorry.

I hope my hair doesnt always look like this from behind. My bad. Time to buy a mirror.

A push up or twenty never killed anybody.

S said "Your pony tail looks silly" but perhaps I like it sticking up like that, did he think of that??

If I am going to buy leggings for the gym, they must, and I repeat, MUST, have a fold over top. If you have a muffin top like myself, you know that these are the most flattering style. I love them.

Does anyone else still have a belly button ring hole? I took it out like 10 years ago.

These are also from Lorna Jane but I don’t know the style name, sorry. They have like a mesh fold over if that helps.

I prefer to wear fitted clothing rather than baggy clothing as I feel like having a shape makes me look better. If that makes sense.

This wooden deck freaking hurt when trying to execute my Side Plank and failing miserably.

Anyway, the moral of this post is that when wearing cute gym stuff, I feel better about my self. My hour long walk the other night consisted of walking along Beach Road and talking to my sister Cat in Ireland. That’s the best kind of exercise on a nice night.

I am getting my motivation back, thankfully and am going to get back on the right track of eating clean and exercising. I feel so much better when I am in shape, and the diminishing of cellulite doesn’t hurt either.


What motivates you? Looking at pictures of Victoria's Secret models? The mirror? Feeling good?
