Shopping for my Health

AT&T highly disappointed me today.  I went to the AT&T store with all intentions of buying an iPhone, but they were ALL OUT.  I figured the craze of the new iPhone was over, but apparently not.  There are even 2 At&T stores in the King of Prussia Mall, but they were both out of the iPhone.  So instead of leaving the mall like I should have, I decided to make a couple of stops at a few more stores:)  I swear, when I go to that mall I should wear blinders – just go in, get what I need, and get out.  I always end up buying WAY more than I intended.  EVERY time.  Except this time I’m justifying it by telling myself that during this trip, I shopped for my health:)

I’ll be honest.  I haven’t worked out in, well, months.  Ever since J and I started house-hunting back in January, our workout routine has gone downhill.  To the point where workouts are just non-existent right now.  So I have decided I’m going to start eating better and working out again.  My Mom and sister asked me to run in a 5K Breast Cancer race in October, to which I replied “no thanks” immediately.  They’re both in incredible shape.  I just don’t enjoy working out, and never have.  They ran a half marathon together a few months back, I stood on the side-line and cheered.  Whenever we’re in mall or airport, my mom likes to “get in a little work-out” by running up the stairs.  I watch her “get in her little work-out” as I ride up the escalator.  Today, I changed my mind.  I’m going to get back into shape so I can actually run the entire 5K in October.  Even more so, I want to get into shape and STAY in shape, to the point where I look forward to working out.  To the point where I feel “off” if I don’t work out.  To give me a little motivation, I bought this cute work-out outfit…..I had to buy it…..for my health:)

I’ve also decided I need to STOP frequenting this bakery – they’re right down the street from my new house, and they’re one of the BEST bakeries in Philly:

J and I buy one of these every time guests come over.  I’ve been known to down an entire half of this cake in 2 days.

But no more!  Time for a healthy change:)

This past weekend I went to my college roommate Kylene’s wedding.  I looked at all the picture of myself from that wedding, and thought “yikes”.  I think the time has come for me to wear some type of foundation/powder on my skin.  Bare Minerals was recommended to me, so during my KOP trip today, I figured I might as well stop by the store…..just to check it out.  We can all see how that worked out – I ended up leaving the store with their awesome starter kit, and I am in LOVE with this stuff.  Makes my skin look so smooth and evened out, but I literally feel like I have nothing on my face.  LOVE IT!  Plus it’s all natural, so it’s totally healthy for your skin.  Check!  Another purchase for my health:)

So all in all, AT&T’s lack of iPhones scored me a few awesome purchases for my health:)  I’ll be posting updates of my work-out progress!
