I wear business casual 5 days a week, 10 hours a day, but any time outside of that is my comfy time and what could be more comfortable than a cute workout outfit? Let’s chat how to get the look, wear it right, and how to improve the quality of your everyday life.

Sears Fashion - New Year Goal

How many of us call January 1 the first day of a new and improved life? I am like you: I have huge goals ready to go every year in all the directions.

2013 was a rough year for me and my family with 5 moves in 6 months and if the last year taught me anything is that if I neglect my needs, nobody will come running to make sure I have been taken care of. And if I have to be in charge of everything in my home, I am determined to put myself on the priority list for 2014.

Funny to say, but I came up with my plan of action as I was browsing Sear’s sales shelves looking for a few new workout outfits.

STEP 1 – Personal time

Sometimes all it takes is setting up the alarm or sleep mode for the TV. The same applies to the computer alarms. The important part is taking it seriously and have it planned the way you plan everything and anything in your life. When the alarm goes off, get up and get active.

STEP 2 – Personal Care

In theory I know way too well about vitamins, skincare, flossing, and makeup removers, but somehow this 5 minute activity is slipping by me 6 out of 7 days. Think about it – all these activities will fit in 5-minute time frame.

STEP 3 – Nutrition

We know that we need to make healthy food choices every step of the way, but what is your Kryptonite of unhealthy food? For me it’s an ice cream and desserts and when I am thinking of a healthy alternative to sugary desserts, here are my new finds I can’t wait to try

Frozen Berries and ‘Cream’ Dessert

Guilt-Free “Fried Ice Cream”

Low calorie home-made fruit ice cream

STEP 4 – Home Workouts

Let’s agree this is a biggie and for those of us who spend 8 hours a day chained to a desk it is quite difficult to burn calories throughout the day. Also trying to save some money, I’d like to work out for free as much as I can.

My favorite is bicycle riding. Most of us have an old bicycle that collects dust. It doesn’t have to be fancy – pump the tires and take it around the block. If you are lucky enough to live in a warm climate, you will enjoy your ride for sure. If it is a bit cooler outside, just grab a pair of fleece pants, but remember to stick with a cropped model – long pants might just get caught in the chain.

 How about active Playstation games?

Daily Walks

I honestly can’t think of a better way to relax than a 30-minute walk. So many times I walked out from the office at lunch completely stressed out and came back ready to tackle another stubborn project. And it doesn’t cost anything besides a desire for fresh air and put some major steps on your pedometer.

So how about committing 35 minutes to yourself and actually making it happen?

    I’m really bad about skipping things I know I should do. I need to make a more conscience effort to do better this year.

      January 7, 2014 at 11:12 am

      That is what this is about – making it a priority

    I am full of motivation for this year. My weight loss goal is to tone my abs. I am one of those women who are chained to the desk for 8hrs so wish me luck. Thanks for the inspirations

    Being comfortable while you’re active is key; I just love all the bright colors you chose! I, too, walk a lot to relieve stress, especially at the end of the day!

    I really want to start biking again! I haven’t been on one in years. The fleece capris are too cute; I bet they are really comfy.

    • Way 2 Good Life says

      January 7, 2014 at 11:05 am

      Dig that bike out and get pedaling

    This is an amazing post and I’m going to share it all over my social media channels! I admire and respect people who are taking charge, getting active, and getting healthy 🙂 Not just because it’s the new year, but because they truly want to be a better person!

    Those outfits you’ve got are just to die for; ever since I found my passion for exercising, I’m a little exercise clothing obsessed. LOL

    I really need to start getting back into being active and taking time for myself!!

    • Way 2 Good Life says

      January 7, 2014 at 11:04 am

      I need to get a little bit more obsessed

    One of my goals this year is to be more active. So far, I am not doing as good as I’d love, but we walk every day to and from the school bus. It might not be much of a walk but it is something, right!? My husband is also teaching me how to play tennis!

    Love the Gray hoodies (the one that says FREE on the back).

  16. Tara says

    January 10, 2014 at 11:41 am

    LOL – your photos crack me up! I love this! I think you have set yourself very attainable goals. I look forward to watching you go through the process! And to see more fun photos!

    I cannot wait to watch your journey unfold! Best of luck and stay focused!

    Love your new outfits–they’re so bright & fun, and also very fashionable and comfy looking at the same time–big score! I totally agree with you too, you have to take care of yourself so that you can continue to give to others as well! #client
