My general workout “routine” consists of the following amalgamation of physical activities: occasional [treasured, coveted] Pilates class, being berated by the Wii Fit, and sprinting up stairs (three at a time) at the first sound of “uh oh.” And it takes a special type of gear to look and feel good while doing all of that.
So I was beyond excited to receive a specially selected outfit from pvBody (a wickedly cool site for handpicked workout gear at a fraction of the price) after taking their quick n’ easy personal style quiz. I answered questions about my activity level, my color/pattern preference, where I dig working out, and so on.
Not me. Sigh. |
And even with my bizarre choices, they handpicked a set of workout gear just for me, questionable workout methods and all. And then it arrived. And I was stoked to start working out(ish) again.
But then P.J. was stuck at work for an extra hour, so my inaugural act of Physical Activity While Wearing A PvBody Outfit was…bathing my two children. (During which time I may actually have pulled a muscle.)
But the next day- oh, the next day! I found myself with a small pocket of time while Nora was in preschool and during Zuzu’s morning nap…so I worked the heck out of something. The time spent and/or activity chosen is irrelevant. What MATTERS is…that I looked awesome. Because they had sent me a purty powder blue fitted tank from NUX- and it was loooong. (Oh, how I love clothes that don’t become belly shirts.) And my leggings were shiny black and from American Apparel. The reinforced top reached high on the waist, which is awesome if- say- someone has had two c-sections and would like things to remain roughly where they ought to be, thankyouverymuch.
Pro tip: If you take a pic above your head, you look skinnier. Also, good LORD is that mirror dirty. |
I felt so good post-workout that I kept my gear on while I readied Susannah for school pickup (Nora’s only in school for 2.5 hours at a time, people), and these looking awesome/feeling cute endorphins powered my commute-
-All the way to the tamale stand on my corner. And then I went and got my kid.
But I looked good doing that, too.
