Feeling Blue, in a Good Way

     All righty, despite my love of the gym, and of fitness and how I feel after a great sweat session, there are many mornings where I simply cannot motivate myself to get out of the warm home and head to the gym. I've also had an ongoing battle with my boobs (I'm sure I'll do a full post on THAT in the future) and finding appropriate bras/fitness wear that fits me how I want it to, and provides a level of support I want.

     You feel SO MUCH BETTER when you're wearing clothes that fit right, and feel good. It doesn't hurt if you like how they look, too! I've personally got a Thing for blue, if you couldn't tell from the photo. 

     What's your favorite color? For me, it's that elusive shade of aqua that happens right before a reefs drops off into deeper water in tropical seas. Over time, I've accumulated many items in a similar shade, and now I'm all about it as my combo with black. (Sometimes hot pink gets in the mix too, can't help that not everything I want/need comes in aqua!) Point is, when I'm feeling slumpy and lazy, decking myself out in matching workout gear can help me to say YES, I want to make this another awesome workout day! 

     Moral of the story is: Find workout gear/outfits that make you feel GOOD about working out. You want to catch glimpses of your body in the gym mirrors and think, "Hey! That person looks strong/fit/sweaty/choose your own goal word here/awesome!" and then realize, holy crap, that person is me.

     Moments like that are moments that keep you returning to the gym, keep you strong in your goals, and keep you wanting to pursue your dreams of fitness and health.  Sometimes a little reward, like buying a new workout top, phone case, water bottle, or cardio-song is a great way to keep your motivation high, and contributes to your ongoing enjoyment of time in the gym.
