    I must be over packing my bag. I'm usually leaving work to go to the gym. I have 2 sets of clothes - one is for working out and the other is what I'm wearing after my shower. I have a pair of running shoes and flip flops. I have socks and underwear (and extras). I have a sweat towel, a bath towel and a washcloth. If I'm getting in the pool or hot tub, I have my swimsuit and another towel for that since my gym does not provide these. There are usually a couple of Kroger bags in there somewhere to put all my wet or dirty clothes in. I also have a toiletries bag that contains soap, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, shower cap (for when I don't swim), comb, brush, gel, rubber bands, hair pins, toothpaste, toothbrush, lotion and a travel size body splash. I also have earbuds and a lock for my locker. Ha! I guess I look like I'm going away for the weekend. lol

    They're shoes with a slightly raised heel made specifically for weightlifting.

    I don't use a "gym bag" because I live right by my gym. However, I have an all purpose bag if I go away overnight. What I keep in there is a cosmetics/toiletry bag that has cheap or sample sizes of what I use in the morning: soap, shampoo, condition, deodorant, q-tips, comb, brush, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, bobbie pins, a couple barrettes, and some basic makeup and a necklace. I usually keep a towel in the bag too.
