Last week I started talking to you about the delicious health shakes I’ve started eating to help get healthier. Losing, maintaining, or gaining weight it starts with food. BUT you get fit in the gym . . .

It seems like flashy workout clothes are everywhere these days. I’m not into it. So I like to stick with a basic color scheme and clothes that will enhance my workout. This whole outfit is from the Old Navy Active line. The colors keep it simple and slim me out. The compression pants keep me from jiggling . . . which it’s a goal to still jiggle when I am healthy so that’s helpful. And the fabric of the tank . . . o the fabric  . . . it’s exactly what a workout tank should feel like. dry. silk. smooth. Old Navy isn’t a sponsor . . . I just really love their clothes. I also wanted you to see my pale winter skin.

Now back to the kitchen. . . like I said last week, it’s not about size for me. it’s about getting healthy. This isn’t about being a certain size, or a quick fix, and it’s not just about eating right and working out. It’s about general wellness . . . health, fitness, mindset, skin care, body image, self esteem, i could go on and on . . .

So Nina from wear flowers in your hair and I have started a project. We’re going to be accountability partners for each other about our general wellness. Each month we’ll each post about a certain focus topic.

For me, wellness is going to start in the kitchen with weight loss. Food affects our mood, our behavior, our mindset, our self image . . . food affects all of it!! And before last week I mostly ate bad stuff that made me feel even worse. When I’m not having a shake, Nina and I will be following a whole 30 diet. Go to whole30.com for all the details and check back in at the end of February to see how we did, how we feel, and what the next topic will be.

What are your favorite work out clothes? Where does wellness start for you!
