Hey guys! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I had some time to reflect on the weight loss post I wrote last week and the overwhelming response I received. I just want to say thank you all for reaching out to me. I can’t explain how encouraging it was to read through all of the texts, Facebook messages, comments and tweets. It’s comforting to know that I have so many people who want to see me excel in all aspects of my life. And I’m so happy that I am able to motivate people by sharing my story! I thought it would be fun to continue the fitness trend and share a few of my favorite things.
I’ve said it before, but these hair ties are hands down the best and they look super cute on your wrist when your hair isn’t ready to go up just yet. Not all yoga pants are created equal. These pants from Forever 21 fit like a glove and are what I would consider to be breathable. Normally, I’m a Nike girl, but when I came across these Asics I knew I had to try them on. Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size in stock at the mall, but I can’t wait to get them and break them in! Other items that fit the bill: Gold Toe socks, not to thick and not too thin. Sephora face wipes for a quick clean up after a sweat sesh. Self magazine for when you get in a workout rut and need to spice things up a bit!
What’s in your gym bag? I would love to hear!

Ah, I am desperate for some new yoga pants! Heading over to the Forever 21 site now, thanks for sharing!

You can never have too many pairs of yoga pants!! And you can’t beat the price 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by, Kate!
i love that you found fitness jesus!! i’m all for those documenting their fitness journey so don’t mind me if you see me lurking the shit out of your blog.
i workout at home but i have all my workout gear in my home gym which are various sports bras, workout capris, my beloved asics and socks. i’ll also throw on an inspirational tank – my favorite is “I AM BEAST MODE” which is sweat activated on the back so when the fabric gets wet, you see the word “BEAST MODE” across the back.

Oh, I don’t mind at all! I would love to be able to workout at home. Living in an apartment means I’ve got limited space. Hopefully someday I can have my own little area set up! I’ve seen those shirts before, I need to find one 🙂 Thanks again for stopping by!

Hi Angela! Thanks so much, I’m glad you liked it 🙂 You can add me with my email jessica.zimlich@gmail.com. I’m excited to connect with you!
I soooo need some new workout gear. I actually recently bought new shoes and I hate them. I usually am a Nike gal too, and I decided to try out Reebok. Yeah, no. Never again. I can’t wait until I can justify buying a new pair. lol
Hi Jane! That is such a bummer. I once had that happen and I was able to return them to the store and get a refund. Shoes can be pricey, it’s worth a shot!
