With every errand I ran, I had several strangers ask me tonight, "Aren't you cold?" or "Did you have a good workout?". I obviously stood out in the Target parking lot, with my running skirt, sweaty technical tee ... and no jacket. I have people at the local Walmart ask me "What my sport is".... trying to guess what the knee high socks are for?! I've had people at the grocery store recognize me from my blog, or because they've picked up my business card from the local gym. I guess I WAS dressed in my brighly colored running gear ... easy to spot ... and matched up exactly with what you see on my blog. Oh, and I didn't exactly fit in with the middle aged lady at the checkout in front of me, in her flannel pajama bottoms and slippers (yes, slippers).
Tonight at Target I was browsing around and wasting time in the workout gear section (YES, workout gear section!). And, one of my client's husbands spotted me. He said to his son, "Hey - there's the lady that never stops running". I laughed it off. But, then I looked at wht was in my cart and looked at what I was wearing and where I was standing in the discount store. I laughed out loud. Later he apologized when he saw me again. Hey, no need to apologize, Dude ... I consider it a compliment!!!!
Other than a few Dollar Bin items for Little Dude and Little Diva, my cart was filled with items (all on sale, I might add!!!) that fit into my LIFESTYLE.
It's MY lifestyle ... and I'm embracing it!!
A healthy, active lifestyle.
And, I finally grabbed that fabulous pink blender that I've been eying up for six months now ... on sale for $14.99. Some fabulous smoothies are in my future ... YUM!

ReplyDeleteI love an active lifestyle for the way it makes me feel. I don't run or Zumba to lose weight, even though I need to. I do it because it is FUN! I do it because it is what makes me feel good.
I love feeling free and being myself, even if others think I look silly.
Thanks for the great blog!

That blender looks super cool, along with the post its. I have to go to target today, so I will be checking for the little peace love fitness post its because they would be so neat for work!
ReplyDeleteAs for my lifestyle, I love that people come to me to ask questions about running or what to eat before races, what to wear, etc. Everyone I work with and am friends with knows I run, and it makes me feel good that they think enough of me to ask these things :).

Hmmm...what I like about my lifestyle. Well, it's a new lifestyle (just since the new year). I like:
ReplyDelete1. the fact that I have more energy
2. that I feel better overall
3. that I have lost 10 pounds
4. that I have something to look forward to everyday after school-exercise
5. that my heart already feels stronger
6. that one day I will call myself a runner
7. that I have kept it up for 3 weeks and not been tempted to give up
8. that I'm improving my health each and every day
