Comfort or cuteness?

This was me before I went to go for a walk with my kids this morning. Don't I look CUTE!!! LOL



KIDDING PEOPLE!!! I love being silly. Life goes by too fast to be serious all the time, don't you think?!
I have a question. When you all go and workout, do you choose workout clothes based on their comfort no matter how non-matching and ugly they might be? or do you choose your workout clothes based on their cuteness factor? Well, for me it has to be a mixture of both. I want clothes that I can feel comfortable in. I like clothes to fit me well enough so that when I'm running for instance, I don't have "the girls" bouncing all over the place and waving to the people and popping me in the face while I'm trying to run! LOL And I have to have my clothes look cute too! I know there's probably some practical person out there reading this blog post and saying to them self "Why does it matter what you look like when you go and workout? All you do is sweat anyways and look gross!" Well, I like to look good in my workout clothes for a few reasons.

#1 because I just like to look good. I take pride in myself and what I look like these days. I don't want to look like a slob!
#2 because when you feel good about the way you look, it makes you want to do better in whatever you're doing whether it's running, walking, lifting weights, or what ever.
#3 because I've seen some people out in public wearing goodness knows what and it just looks horrible! I don't want to look like a walking mess!
and #4 because it just makes me feel good when I like what I'm wearing!

I have a double stroller. It's a really nice one too. I put my two kids in it, wrapped them both up in a nice cozy blanky and off we went! We walked for 1 hour this morning. Okay, maybe they didn't walk, but I did and they enjoyed watching the scenery go by. It was a bit of a job to push that stroller for 1 hour. That thing is heavy. If you consider the weight of the stroller, the weight of the 2 kids, and the weight of whatever else I had in there like my purse (which has become like a mini-garbage bin that I need to clean out soon or the receipts and other stuff will take over and I won't be able to find my wallet ever again!). It was quite a bit to push around town this morning. It was pretty cold outside as well. It was probably about 54 degrees outside and a cool breeze. I didn't think I was sweating at all. Then I walked past a window and noticed that my face was quite shinny. I took off my gloves, wiped my face, and realized that I was working harder then what I thought. It was nice to know that a measly walk can be a great workout! You don't necessarily have to be running at the fastest speed or lifting a ton to be getting a workout!

So, that's how my morning went. It was nice to get a nice workout, to smell the roses, to hear the beautiful birds, see the crazy people, and be out there with my 2 younger kids! Life is awesome!
