Stripes On Monday
Happy Monday! I'm blogging a little later into the night because I took a bootcamp class tonight. I had purchased a two-month membership at The Bar Method (on Gilt City!) a few months ago and I was going pretty consistently on weekends (and absolutely love the classes), but the studio unfortunatley didn't have any class times during the work week that were early enough in the morning or late enough at night for me.
It's hard to find studios that consistently have 5 or 5:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. classes (so I can go before work and still have time to come home and get ready or go after Harper is asleep for the night) but I found a gym that has a ton of classes and it's close to my home (Bar Method was at least a 20 minute drive)--- plus, it has early morning and late night classes every week and regular gym equipment if I wanted to work out on my own.
It has been really difficult for me to motivate myself to work out again. I know it's good for me and gives me energy and makes me strong, but I always find an excuse to "start next week." Even tonight, I almost didn't go, but I forced myself to get in my car and I'm glad I did. It was a 30-minute class, but even that was tough for me.
My goal is to go three days per week and work up to four or five. There is a spin class I'd love to take on weekends and I'll do bootcamp during the week.
Anyway, I'm ready to put on some muscle and reclaim that energy I miss so much. Plus, going to early morning classes will force me to go to sleep earlier, which I haven't been good at for the past year. So, that's a little fitness update…wish me luck! (I'll need it)
Today I wore my new J.Crew endless shirt (30% off with code WEEKENDPLANS) to work with my Banana Republic Sloan pants. I absolutely love the fit of this shirt and how long it is. It does wrinkle a lot (as you can see, I was sitting at my desk most of the day), but I love the side slit, the navy lining at the buttons and its rounded edges. I highly recommend it! I also wore it with my navy blazer from Aritzia, but I took it off to drive because it was so humid out (that may explain the hair, too!)
I hope you have a wonderful week!
