Hello fit fashionistas! I'm finally back from my little break during the week! Moving has been a little chaotic (it always is)...but I got my bathroom, bedroom, and closet done. I have a few boxes left in the living room, but I got so much done already!
Very excited to finally give my first Lorna Jane review! I have been interested in their products for months and I finally pulled the trigger! I ordered their Active Living Planner, Trapeze Excel Tank, and Run Shorts.
The Trapeze Excel Tank in Laguna Beach was a little pricey at $69.99, but it is well made. The material is nice and thick and comes with great features.
There is mesh on the inside of the tank and a large zip pocket in the back. I love using those for my credit cards and keys when I run...especially if I'm not wearing run shorts with good pockets!
I have to admit, I was thinking about returning this when it came in....mainly because it was such a pricey tank top. I didn't think I could justify keeping an athletic style top that couldn't be worn casually. I don't mind spending more money on shirts that can be worn as workout AND casual, but it's harder to justify the price if I can only wear it working out!
[Please excuse my clutter...I'll have a nice solid wall to use when my living room is finally unpacked.]
Update - I need to retake my photo. I retried it on after the first photo. It's actually a better fit than the first photo...I just don't have it pulled down all the way and it's a little twisted a the bottom. I'm still debating exchanging it for something a little versatile....despite me really liking it. I think for my more expensive items I need to full out love them.
The Run Short in Hyper Pink is the reason I made this order! For $55.99, the price is reasonable for run shorts and the color was adorable. I really wanted a bright pink pair....especially after I had to return my Lululemon Speed Shorts in Zing Pink Apex Stripe because of their black liner.
The color is adorable and I was relieved to see that the liner matched the outside. They had two side pockets in the front and another zip pocket in the back that is the perfect size for keys.
These fit like a glove. Even my husband was like "oh, I really like those." There was no whiskering in the front and the back didn't flare out too excessively. I thought they were really flattering.
I've been starting to get more scheduled with my weight lifting. I'm working with a friend who is a very good personal trainer. He is having me do a body-building type program. I'm not planning on competing, but we are aiming at more in between the Bikini/Figure Bodybuilding Classes. I've been on this for 3 weeks now and I'm already seeing a difference!
I adore this book! The book starts out with you identifying your goals and writing out what you would like to accomplish.
You fill out your 12 week plan, measurements, and create your own workout schedule.
For the 12 weeks, each day has two pages...which explains why this book is thick. You write down your workout, what you ate, how much water your drank, and how you felt.....I'm really looking forward to keeping track of my water since I'm sure I'm not drinking enough. The end of each week has a recap of what you accomplished. The only thing I wish it had was a little more space for my workouts... I have a few more exercises than space.
I really like my book! I have cell issues on the metro, so I plan on using this when I'm going back and forth on the metro. Overall, I'm really impressed with my Lorna Jane items and will buying more in the future.
Have you tried Lorna Jane? I really wish there were stores on the east coast! :(
