During my lunch today, I decided to take a quick trip to one of my favorite department stores. I am usually a very practical, frugal individual, and I almost always talk myself out of buying things for myself, telling myself “I don’t need that”. Then I end up buying something for my husband or the kids instead. But I figured, hey, I earned all the rewards at work lately, and I wanted a little something just for me.
My “quick trip” turned into a much-too-long lunch break that I sure hope no one noticed. But I’m so glad I went! I found a pair of pants and a top that I love. Best part? The pants are one size smaller than the last pair I bought! I was shocked when they fit. When I tried them on, I had made up my mind I would only spend money on them if I was able to get a smaller size. I fully expected to have to put them back on the rack. Well, they are my new favorite pants 🙂
I am considering one more treat for myself before going back to my boring, practical, prudent self. I have several of Leslie Sansone’s walking workout DVD’s, and I saw on her website that she now offers an All Access Pass, which would let me play every workout in their library:
It would be nice to try new workouts each day and not have to buy more DVD’s just to see which ones I like, or hunt down low-quality videos on YouTube. Has anyone tried this yet? I don’t want to commit to a year of paying for it, since after a few months, I plan to upgrade to more intense workouts. But for now, trying to stay motivated to get back into a rhythm and a workout habit, it would be great to have access to all of those walking workouts.
August 1st already…we have five months left in this year. It’s shameful that I have accomplished so little in the first seven months of 2018, but I have five months to kick it into gear and finish strong.
