I read a quote or some other motivational nonsense on Instagram about consistency being key to everything. And I totally agree but also consistently need a babysitter or assistance or just someone to make sure I show up places on time with everything I need. When will I be able to afford that? Never. But obviously still dreaming.
Lately I’ve struggled with being consistent about workouts. I have one week where I am ON IT. Like scheduling my workouts, putting them on my calendar, clearing everything to make it work. And then, there’s weeks like this past one where I couldn’t fit in a workout if my life depended on it. Okay, that’s a lie. I could have gotten up early… but anyways.
Anytime I slack on workouts though, I find myself buying workout clothes. It’s some subconscious thing where I think that if I buy new stuff, it will make me force myself to get to the gym. It’s only half working right now. I bought all the clothes … still trying to get back to the routine part. So since I can’t show these off in an actual work-out setting, I’m doing it on the blog… just in time for the Athleta Friends & Family sale this weekend… well it starts on Thursday, so you can kick off the weekend a little early.
Best part about the sale? You can do both shopping and working out at the same time. Plus, you save 20% off your purchase. BIG WIN.
I went ham at the Athleta store in The Paddock Shoppes last week and bought ALL THE THINGS and picked up the schedule of events for this weekend’s sale. Side note: this isn’t sponsored but Athleta did hook me up with a couple pieces. That being said, I ended up buying more than I’d like to put in writing using my own funds. And will most likely be going back for more this weekend if I can escape the kiddos. Their Sunday Pilates Class is calling my name.
Check out the full schedule of events below, they’ve got some fun stuff lined up. If you’re not in Louisville, check out your local store for their list of events – I’m sure they have classes and informational sessions set up too.

Side note: these leggings are the best. I was so obsessed with the color that I went back and bought the matching bra. Yes, now I have a matching set and still can’t drag my ass to the gym. Don’t judge me.
