Workout Clothes



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share the following article I found on SparkPeople today; thought it might be helpful to others.

I have all my usual t-shirts and workout capris that I'm most comfortable in, but like to change up my tops from time to time.

One thing I learned about -- adjustable bras (and not just the shoulder straps) that will take you through weight/size changes.

The information is good, but they should have picked better images. They picked the most hideous, sloppy looking workout clothes they could find. I almost didn't read the article, because of the images.

Thanks for sharing.

I use many of their suggestions, not the specific ones, except the Moving Comfort Fiona bra, but similar ones. At this point I only buy on clearance as I am not sure how long things will fit! I have also added compression shorts and tank tops to keep the skin, rolls, apron, etc from bouncing TOO much. It all bounces, but it at least minimizes it some and I feel better with the compression. (It keeps the girls even more stabilized as well) I like compressionZ brand tank tops, but I have a bunch of other ones from Walmart and target as well. I have bought a lot of my stuff on Amazon or sierra trading post.

Good luck and Keep moving!

Thanks for the suggestions, Pam @mngreeneyes. I'll have to check out some of those. I love spandex type garments for the bottoms, and usually just wear my regular bra since I typically do circuit training, strength/weight training, and elliptical. I do buy most of my workout wear at Walmart, but will sometimes pick up t-shirts at other stores if I see something I like.

Like you said......Keep Moving!!!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
