I am now at eleven weeks postpartum. I’ve already lost thirty pounds, putting me at my pre-baby weight. But I still have a long way to go.
My next weight loss goal is twenty pounds, also known as the elusive pre-kids weight. I’m not gonna lie: I want to look twenty pounds lighter, but–more importantly–I also want to set a healthy example for my kids.
To do this I’m continuing with my pseudo-Paleo diet that makes me feel freaking fantastic. I’m back at the mama-baby yoga class (that I can bring both kids to) and absolutely LOVE. I’m walking more and want to get back into a running routine (my FAVORITE exercise of all).
I just have one problem: while unpacking my non-maternity wardrobe I discovered that most of my workout clothes were worn through.
Since having kids I’ve found I need workout clothes that I’m excited to get into, since getting out the door to exercise is hard enough already.
So here is my workout wishlist for this month:
Shown above: 1. GapFit gFast power colorblock capris (pin) | 2. Forme Jacket from lululemon athletica (pin) | 3. Elongate Burnout Long Sleeve from lululemon athletica (pin) | 4. GapFit Breathe elbow-sleeve T (pin) | 5. GapFit Motion racer tank (pin) | 6. Swagger Skirt Capri from Athleta (pin)
See more at my Retail Therapy Pinterest Board!
Some of the gear I already own or recently bought (on sale!). Some of the clothes are beyond my budget right now and remain firmly in the “wish” category.
Where do you buy affordable yoga and running clothes? My Target clothes didn’t last, so I’m looking for another spot that sells well-made, less expensive clothes. Think Gap Fit, not Lululemon.
i have been pleasantly surprised by how much i like the look, feel and price of old navy activewear… definitely worth looking into!
I’ll have to check Old Navy out. Thanks for the recommendation!
Marshalls and TJ Maxx!
That is such a GREAT idea!
Sierra Trading Post. I have some prana pants that I got from there for way cheaper than I can get them retail. And I love them. Oh, and my splurge of this season, Chacos, for $45. Join the deal flyer, and Tuesday are Wednesday will get you the best discounts. Also like them on FB you will get more codes that way for deep discounts and/or free shipping.
Oh, my goodness, yes! I’ve never shopped there but have always been curious since Amanda Soule stocks up on winter socks there. I’ll have to check it out.
Just saw this & I too have been on the hunt for more workout clothes. Like others said, old navy is good for basic capris, TJ maxx/Marshall’s and 6pm.com.
