I Know Why People Don"t Exercise

...because it's too expensive.
Seriously. It takes a pretty penny to get in shape. I've rarely used it as an excuse because my plethora of other excuses have always sufficed but not this time. I thought I was going about this in a fiscally responsible way.

• Ocean swimming is free.

• Borrowing the Insanity DVDs from a friend is a free.

• Doing Yoga & Pilates with Chelise is free.

• Running is free.

However...

• The swimsuit to swim in said ocean-$$

• Luckily I'm borrowing a wet suit from a friend until I can find my own-$$$

• My trusty pajama bottoms who have supported me in days of exercise past, don't stand up, or rather stay up with all the jumping and moving of Insanity or running. I went to the sporting good store and Target to check out exercise bottoms. Oh. My. Gosh. Those comfy stay put bottoms that have the hide-a-key pockets and breathable fabrics are ridiculously expensive. $40-$60 on sale! oy. Target, while cheaper, still gave me a bit of sticker shock but ultimately delivered. Hallelujah for clearance racks!

• It's hard to exercise/run in everyday wear shoes, hence...

 

New Shoes-$$ (on sale but still $$ nonetheless)

On a side note, it's amazing what a difference good fitting shoes can make

 

 My daughter is much less demanding than me (in this area and this area only!)

She is a minimalist and only requires a diaper to do push-ups and glute exercises.
