Last year when I first joined the gym, I spent a boatload on work out clothes. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm one of those people. The ones who just can't wear sweats and a t-shirt to the gym. It's mostly motivational. If you want me or anyone in my family to do something, throw money into the equation and consider it done. I figure if I spend money on work out clothes, I have to work out. And I did! Anyway, I spent a few weeks finding the perfect winter work out pant. I don't do tights without shorts over them and since I didn't want to drop too much money, buying two pieces was not in the budget. I also recently found out that sweatpants make me too hot. So tight capri pants were the solution and I found the perfect ones from Nike. They had a zipper pocket in the back (crucial for me since I'm paranoid someone will steal my keys). I worked out in them for at least 3 days a week. Yes, I know. GROSS! But this was before the 3 mile runs and major sweating kicked in, so I justified it. And they were the only ones I owned.
So I put them away when the weather got warm and I forgot where I put them. When the weather got cooler last year, I looked high and low for them. I couldn't find them. Usually when I misplace something, I spend an hour looking for them and in utter despair say the magic words "Ugh, I've lost _______" and magically, I remember where it is or look in the right corner (which was previously looked at 15 minutes ago), and there it is! That did not happen this time around. I made do with running with longer tights with shorts over it. I had acquired a few pair of shorts over the summer. I finally gave in and bought the same pair when I saw them at Lady Foot Locker at FULL price. And then it happened. Can you guess?
So yesterday when cleaning the house, I found my pants... in a shoe box. !@#!@#@ A shoe box on a rubbermaid bin. Ugh. FML. The bright side is I now have two pairs of awesome capris and I won't be stinky from wearing them too many times between washes.
