Shopping

Posted on by RedHeadMess

Shopping is always an annoying task when you are not skinny.

So I’ve been talking about going to the pool at my gym for awhile now. Small ish problem… I only have bikinis… more than I would like to admit too. I went to Walmart to grab a cheap bathing suit. Let’s be really real Walmart has cheap ass bathing suits. I’m not about to ruin one of my $40 suits at a high chlorine pool. If it dies, it dies. I’ll just grab another one next Spring. Sadly, after trying on the only 4 decent ones that were in my size… I found one lol! It looks like that traditional grandma bathing suit with flowers all over it. It comes up to my ribs in the back! I’ve never been this covered to go swimming before, AND I’M A GINGER! It’s not horribly ugly or anything. It’s just something I’ve never worn before or I thought I wouldn’t at this age lol. I’ll be swimming this Tuesday or Thursday… I can’t wait to add swimming to my workout routine for something need and I have bad knees.

New Challenge Pt 2

So Monday was the first day and OF COURSE I have a huge migraine that wouldn’t quit. Well, that means I actually started yesterday. And to top it off I gained weight from Easter… long story short, I sat on my ass all day and ate. I just want to take a minute to talk about how awesome this 1stPhorm app is! The workouts are fun because you can determine what style of working out you like… circuit, HIIT, traditional, and 1 more but I can’t remember. I chose traditional cause I’m still new at doing the whole routine thing. I had arm day, leg day, and abs. I’m learning that it’s better to target certain areas of your arms. I’m definitely feeling it more the next day. My favorite thing about the app is that it has videos next to what the exercise is. I familiar to most the ways to work out, just not the names. And it gives you modifications if you can’t handle that exercise or maybe you have bad wrist/knees. Zumba is still going to be my Wednesday work out. I plan on adding it in one more day in the week. Not sure if I want to add it on Tuesdays or Thursdays… Plus, I want to add in swim class too. Or at least add swimming into my weekly or biweekly routine. There’s a pool at the gyms I go too. I really need to fit in walking the dog in there too. I haven’t took him for a long walk in a long time. We normally would do about 2 miles around the pond by my house. So, day 2 is done! ONLY 53 days left…
