I have to say that I miss the gym! With going to Physical Therapy, I've only been allowed to do my PT exercises. So the gym has sort of been off limits - unless I want to go there and lay on their mats to do my workout. So instead of driving to the gym, I've been doing my  PT exercises at home.

But here are 5 things that are in my gym bag.




1. The first thing in my gym bag is my headphones, and my workout gloves. But honestly, I usually forget and leave my gloves in my bag (ha). But I try to have my weight lifting gloves with me for my strength training workouts. Lil Man doesn't like how my hands feel with callouses. :-)

2. Next is my Dot&Dot Small Packing Cube


I usually pack a change of clothes in this small packing cube so that I can easily pull it out and have everything together in one place. 

3. And most of the time I don't take a shower (because I'm usually just picking my son up and going home), but I always have my Shandali Ultra-Sport Towel just in case I need it.  



It folds up super small and doesn't take up a lot of room. 

4. Toiletries - I always have a small bag with shampoo, soap, lotion etc. And my body wipes. I usually use the body wipes since most of the time I don't get a chance to take a shower. I like to use the ones that people use for camping. I find they transport well and don't dry out too fast. 

5. And last but not least, a lock for my locker. 

So, what's in your workout bag? Or if you workout at home, what are your must haves?

  1. Nice list. Headphones are always important to have. I like the packing cube idea to use for clothes. Definitely would help keep everything all in one place.

Pinrose Petal Pack Review and Giveaway - 10 Winners!

Bear with me, I know this blog is mainly about fitness, nutrition, and occasionally about being a stay-at-home mom, but I got the chance to review what I think is a pretty cool product and I wanted to share it with you. I'm not one to usually wear perfume. I have allergies, and I'm super sensitive to smells. So usually I just bypass perfume. But when I heard about Pinrose , I was intrigued. Being someone who is constantly in motion, and I know that many of you are the same way, I found this product to be very useful.  I'm talking about Pinrose, and their fragrances are in petal packs. They are perfect on-the-go packs. And on their website they have a  synesthesia   test where you basically look at a series of images and they conclude from that test what they think would be your best fragrances. I found the test very interesting. However, you were supposed to go with your gut and not think too long. On one of the images I actually changed my mind and changed...

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Jogging Strollers Freedom And Fresh Air

Full Disclosure: I have partnered with Thule to #giveaway a Thule jogging stroller, but I have not been compensated in any form.  I remember when Lil Man was a baby. My only time to get in a workout was before Hubby went to work. Which meant I had to run at 5am or 6am after being up most of the night with Lil Man. You guessed it, those early morning runs just didn't happen most days. I tried. I really did, but I was exhausted. Yes, I have a treadmill which helped. But it didn't give me the freedom ( or the fresh air ) that my jogging stroller did. Pushing the stroller was hard. It became a challenge that I looked forward to overcoming. And on those days that running just wasn't going to happen, walking could. So I did. I could take Lil Man out at any time and get some exercise and fresh air. Sometimes it was all we needed to change both of our moods.
