gearing up.

I feel like when you are deciding on a lifestyle change, which is what I am trying to accomplish, you have to prepare yourself. Not only mentally and emotionally, but physically. Do you have the things you need to accomplish your goals?
For instance, you wouldn't decide to go boating, and not get a boat, right? Right.

When I decided to start this journey of mine, my hubs was definitely on board and super supportive! I had plans and goals in mind, but not the gear to reach those goals, like weights, good gym shoes, and some work out clothes.

Daniel and I took our girls to Boise to visit his parents a few weeks ago, and the second day there his mom offered to watch the girls so we could go do some shopping, so we headed to the mall. I searched a few places with no luck in the right fit, but the last place we decided to go, Finishline, I found these nikes I really liked, but they didn't have my size, so the employee brought out some different ones he thought I would like, I thought they were cute, tried them on and LOVED them! Perfect. Done deal. I also got some new socks and a sports bra there.

I am going through this I hate everything in my closet and want new cute clothes, but don't want to buy anything because I'm trying to lose weight thing. It's rough stuff, people. So we hit up Forever 21, JC Penney, and Downeast for a few items to help me feel a little better about myself, and then my favorite, yoga pants at Victoria's Secret Pink! I could live in yoga pants. It was a very successful day, and Daniel spoiled me, as always. Dang, am I a lucky lady!

The next day we went to the bodybuilding.com store and Daniel was in heaven (about how I feel in beauty supply houses). He got some pre workout, multivitamins and a few other things, and I got some multivitamins as well. When we got home we ordered some protein powder online. Daniel is trying out some new stuff called Jym (I think), and I got some Fitmiss Delight protein powder in the chocolate. It is yummy stuff! It seriously tastes like a frosty from Wendy's. Yum.

A couple weeks ago my parents watched the girls so we could go on a date, we went to Target and got me some dumbbells, and a yoga mat. I am now set! I am sure as I reach goals and make more the gear I need will change, but for now I am set! I have been doing some at home workouts I found on Youtube and I am loving them! I will link them up in a post soon.

Things are going fairly well. I went back to Boise last week, and let's just say I didn't do so well. So I am beginning again, after all, every day is a new day to start fresh!

Until next time...
