How cute are these workout clothes? I’m a sucker for clothes that are comfortable, cute, stylish and make me feel good, and lucy activewear does all of the above. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, cute workout clothes are one of my biggest motivations. There’s just something about looking the part that makes it so much easier to get out there and MOVE, you know? Plus, I feel the most confident after a good hard workout. When I’m glowing from sweating so much and my breath is short and I just accomplished something I never thought I could. That is when I’m most confident. That is when I feel unstoppable and ready to take on anything. That is when I feel the sexiest.
We’re on week 7 of our Couch to 5K program, and I’m feeling so strong! I have never been a runner, so the fact that I just ran 25 minutes straight, without stopping, without falling over and quitting, well, that’s something I am extremely proud of! And that feeling right after completing a tough workout that you never even thought you could do? It’s incomparable. And it’s empowering.
So I guess my message today is to just step out of your comfort zone. Try something new. Be up for a challenge. Because that is when you really start living, I’m sure of it. And that is when you are the sexiest, hands down.
When do you feel most confident?

(I live in New England where it’s consistently been below freezing every day. Seeing all of your posts makes me want summer so badly! That being said, I love the tank top! I can’t wait until it’s weather-appropriate to wear that.)
I definitely feel most confident after a run as well. I’ve hired a coach to train me for my first marathon and she’s been loading up trainingpeaks with some crazy hard runs, and some with speedwork! I get really nervous when I’m about to embark on a run and I know what’s in store.
But when I’ve completed it, I feel so goshdarn proud of myself. It really is a great feeling. And I LOVE the complete exhaustion I feel afterwards – is that weird?
Girl, summer will be here before we know it!! :) So cool that you have a coach! What a great way to stay motivated and learn to be a better runner! I get the whole feeling nervous before a run! But isn’t it so great that once you start the nerves go away and you just get into the groove? And YES, the exhaustion afterwards is one of the BEST parts! Not weird at all! I love it! I’m already hooked!

You are so cute! You’re totally gonna be addicted to running! We have snow in NC today, and I’m going to bust out and try to get a run in!
YEAH, get it girl!! I’m so amazed and inspired by anyone who runs in the snow or non-ideal temperatures- that takes some determination for sure! And you’re right: I’m already addicted to running! :)

Did you run in those converse shoes?

Oh, lol. I thought those were the shoes you used when you ran 25 mins straight. Believe it or not, I know some people who run wearing chucks as a kind of minimalist shoe. I was just wondering how you felt running in them without socks, but that was before you clarified it
