Never thought I'd buy "that"!

What is something that you have purchased now that you never imagined you would prior to beginning your health journey? Aside from the sports bras and protein powder, cute workout clothing and a HRM which are all things I would have scoffed at a month ago. The thing that really made me laugh a little at myself and realize how much I have changed was when I went in and bought weight lifting gloves to protect my hands. It made me think "who is this girl?"

What was yours?

    A size 10 pair of shorts that fit!

    Also, never thought I'd buy peanut butter again (especially to up my calories when I don't have enough :P)

    I haven't as of "yet", but I am buying 2 tattoos! Not really a material "thing", but not something I would ever have thought I would buy or get done at the age of 42! :bigsmile: Losing weight has boosted my confidence to do something "different" for once in my life!..LOL

    Me too confidence makes you do things you never thought were possible, another of mine was scuba diving.

    Probably a pear as a snack. My BF and I went to the store for "a snack", he left with a bag of cookies and I left with a single pear. I noted how silly it was because once upon a time I would have gotten cookies too or chips.

    Not so much what I buy, but the other day the words, "I have to get to Scheels" came out of my mouth. Huh? Never imagined ever saying those words in a sentence. Oh, and spinach. I eat lots and lots of spinach.

    HRM, a treadmill, a gym membership, a scale to weigh my food...the biggest shock though would have to be the bee pollen, lol. You would never have convinced me before that I would be eating bee pollen, but I do! lol

    The size 10 is me too! Peanut butter I have every other morning on toast for breakfast.
    Oh, and the kitchen scale.
    Off the shoulder shirt, now that I have collar bones to show off.

    The biggest one (so to speak) Skinny Jeans and a pair of Jeggins:heart:

    This...and bags of frozen fruit for blending into smoothies.
  • Protein bars and work out shorts, oh yeah and the Jillian Michael's dvd's. :)
  • NEW shoes, for walking. I'm cheap as heck & my shoes are always used (usually around $5 - $10)
    I bought a pair of $90 shoes last month because of all the walking I'm doing

    I also bought MyFitnessCoach for the Wii, despite already having Zumba, DDR, & WiiFit
