My Top 5 Workout Essentials
I definitely prefer to lift weights while wearing gloves to prevent calluses- so not sexy! Just don’t forget to wash them. Right now, I’m using an old pair by Nike.

Happy Monday and happy Spring Break! I have to admit I’m a little nervous about being home alone with two kids, but our 6-year old is pretty self-sufficient and even…
Good morning friends! It’s the start of a fresh, new week and I’m excited about it! I started rereading Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy this weekend and it always…
We moved into our new house over the weekend and I absolutely love it! Everything is going great, however, I (gasp!) have no internet:( That means I am writing this…

Hi! I’m Megan, mom to a thoughtful teenager and spunky young girl. We call Houston home and recently moved into our dream home. I traded my lawyer hat to become a full-time blogger in 2010. I love sharing my passion for affordable fashion, home decor, organization, & fitness to help inspire you to take care of you!
I always time myself between sets, too. I usually use the timer option on my phone. I can turn my armband around to the inside and push right through the plastic cover without interrupting my music. Good sports bras are hard to find! I like the Lululemon Y Flow Bra. It looks dainty, but it works like a champ. I really need some gloves! I always forget to pick them up when I'm out.
Hi Megan, thanks for being a great inspiration for women with your healthy lifestyle. Can you write a piece on the criteria you have when choosing a gym? Thanks!
love your blog :)…you should deffinately make a workout playlist…it is impossible for me to workout without music 🙂
Those are my top essentials, minus the watch! Especially the music. I literally have a different workout when my iPod dies and I have no music! My favs are Christina Aguilera songs, the "sexy and I know it" song, and songs from those dance movies (Step Up, etc…). I know corny, but they really make you want to move 🙂 Loving your blog and it's really keeping me motivated! Thank you!
The "ta ta tamer" from lululemon is absolutely wonderful, great support!
Hi – am popping over from visiting Honey We're Home – great blogs!
I'm in the UK and wear a sports bra called Shock Absorber! It's great. It comes in various levels depending on the impact of your exercise and the amount of ahem…endowment you have up front! You can get them on Figleaves.com.

I have larger "girls" and run a lot. The moving comfort "Juno" bra is amazing! No chafing or riding up! I bought mine at Amazon. You won't be disappointed!
Great post. I am trying to motivate myself to get back to running and going to the gym- you are inspiring me. I have a large chest and have had a hard time finding a sports bra with good support to keep everything "locked down". Have ordered from this site in the past and really liked the CW-X brand, I can't remember which style I ordered, but it was comfortable and had great support. http://www.teamestrogen.com/product/apparel/bras/high-support/c0-c1-c3-c116.html
Do you use a heart rate monitor? When I run, I like to wear one. Have a great weekend!
Great tips! I wish I could tell people to leave their book at home!

I am so happy I finally got a chance to come over from your decor blog and join this one too. You look fabulous and so does your bff. Strong and not a day over 25. Happy Birthday by the way! Cant wait to get caught up on all your great posts!
Could you write a post about choosing the right sports bra? I still have not found one, I feel like the Goldilocks of sports bras- too big, too small, where's the one that is just right? 🙂
