What happened last week in the Right Fits' world in Fitness, Fashion, and Fitness Fashion?
Well, let's start with Fitness.
Last week was a pretty solid week in fitness.
Monday: Ran 7 miles in the AM with some friends, Balanced Barre BarreAmped Bootcamp in the evening
Tuesday: Ran 5.5 miles in the AM with some friends, 75 minute yoga sculpt at Corepower Yoga in the evening
Wednesday: Ran 7 miles in the AM with some friends, concert at First Ave in the evening!
Thursday: Complete rest. Happy Halloween!
Friday: Ran 5.5 miles in the AM with Matilda (the dog)
Saturday: Ran 11 miles with the Calhoun Beach Running Club
Sunday: Ran 4 miles with Dustin and Matilda, then barre class at Pure Barre
Total: 40 miles, 2 barre classes, and 1 yoga sculpt (3 strength)
The highlight in fitness this week was actually the Pure Barre class. I used to be a tad obsessed with Pure Barre (as you can read about HERE and HERE), but then I fell off the Pure Barre wagon for a little bit as I tried out other barre studios in the area. Pure Barre recently had a sale on a 5-class package, so I decided to head back there for a little bit. It really took me by surprise on Sunday, as it was a pretty tough class! The teacher incorporated a double exercise band like this one:
That double band was the devil!
We used the band for some of the leg work, core work, and even for stretching, and I felt like it made a lot of the moves quite a bit more challenging.I could feel it today in my abs and thighs, which is always a great feeling. I took the Pure Barre class with two girlfriends, one of whom is an experienced barre-ista, and one of whom had never taken a barre class before. I think that the first-timer really enjoyed the class as well! One challenge at Pure Barre is that its sometimes difficult to see the correct form for the moves. They are so small and subtle, its difficult to know if you're doing it correctly. But when you do it right, it burns!
What's new in Fitness Fashion?
I have a few reflective BIC bands that I am loving right now. It’s been in the mid forties on my runs, so I don’t yet need a hat or ear warmers. Therefore, these reflective BIC bands add just enough extra “see and be seen” on the early morning runs. You can never get enough reflective power. Why not add some to your headband?
You can find them HERE. FYI, in my opinion, BIC bands and Sweaty Bands are both awesome, though BIC bands are usually a few dollars cheaper, while Sweaty Bands offer a bit more variety. These reflective bands are BIC brand. Go check them out!
Fashion:
The highlight this week in fashion was definitely the arrival of my first Stitch Fix, which you can read about here. I’m excited to wear my new polka dot skinny jeans soon!
The rest of my weekend included a date night to see Prairie Home Companion at the State theater, a pre-dinner drink at Marvel Bar, dinner at Bar La Grassa, Dustin’s wardrobe consultation (which I hope to share some more detail about soon!), lots of dog park time, and plenty of housework and errands.
Here's what I wore for running errands:
Sunglasses: Tory Burch- gifted; chambray shirt: JCrew similar, blazer: Banana Republic, find it here, and Banana Republic skinny jeans similar
This pink blazer is my current favorite, (did I mention it has leather patches on the elbows? Love!) I have become such a Banana girl since my wardrobe consult with A la Mode. Move over JCrew, you may possibly have been replaced by Banana!

All in all, it was lovely week in fitness, fashion, and fitness fashion!
I hope you all had a nice week as well.
