You would be proud of me.  Even though shopping WAS my cardio on Saturday morning, the downtown Y with Shane was my cardio that night.  Since I set my goals a couple of weeks ago, I have worked out 4 times both weeks.  Now I’m ready to step it up to 5 times a week.  It feels so great to be back in the gym doing abwork and lifting weights.  Now I’m ready to do a little outdoors running if this nice weather will stay for a little while.  Okay, now back to the shopping part.  I recently discovered Whitney from Shop W.O.W on Instagram.  She has a great selection of items, all at great prices.  I fell in love with quite a few pieces, but this sweatshirt I’m wearing today being my favorite.  It definitely summed up my workouts in 2013.  = )  I did a little shopping during the day, so this sweatshirt was perfect to wear while out and about.  When I shop, I dress completely different than how I dress the other 99% of the time.  No high heels, no skirts.  It is all about comfort and speed.  That meant my new Lily’s metallic slippers and my Olivia & Joy crossbody (it’s two-toned; you can wear it on either side, it’s 25% off and each side has a zippered pouch!)  I did make sure to add a statement with my new Tractr ombre jeans.  Aren’t they amazing?!  What is better than a blue pair of pants?  Blue ombre pants.  = )  What did you do this past weekend?  Shopping or did you hit the gym?  How are your goals (or resolutions) for 2014 going so far?
