Monday Medicine

She forgot daily exercise... Oh well, I'm sure that's what she meant by eating slowly!  Happy Birthday, Lucille Ball!

Well, I'm back from my cruise!  It was an incredible experience, and I still managed to get a lot of exercising in, in between sampling many delicious dishes...

Today, I wanted to talk about workout clothes.  Personally, I don't buy new active-related outfits all that often; I have the basics and tend to re-use/re-wear what's in my drawers until it's time to replace it.

Reading through e-mails today, I came across a Summer Fit Wear list from stylist Rachel Zoe (whom is certainly fashionista and not fitness guru, but still).  The picks that stood out to me were the Heidi Klum for New Balance black trainers, Marc Jacobs sport watch, and colourful sports satchel.

FitSugar is great about recommending fresh products.  Try Stylish Workout Capris, or Best Underwear For Workouts.

Do you have sportswear brand loyalty?  Say, Athleta, Lucy, Lululemon?  Classics like Nike or Adidas?  Gap Body?  I hear good things about Victoria Secret's athletic line, too. 

Let me know what your favourites and recommendations!

Just cruising...

I didn't mention this in the last post, but as of much later today, I will be on holiday for the next week.  It came as an enormous surprise from friends the other day, but God has seen fit to bless me with an amazing, spontaneous adventure on an Alaskan cruise ship.

There will limited internet access during my time away, so the next post will come upon returning.  Meanwhile, I can't wait to walk around the ship deck and make use of the ship's gym facilities (made all the better with friends)!

See everyone in 10 days!  Until then, I am out to sea...
