Tesco F & F Active athletic wear - some hits , some misses
I do shop at Tesco often . Even when I pop into Thailand , sometimes I check out the stores there as well .
Actually bought one of my first sports bras from Tesco , a black with mottled pink edging under the Assign label . I'll be very honest about that sports bra .
Although it did hold my boobs up well , washing was a nightmare . First wash , caused the colour to run and bleed , staining the removable inner sponge to a dirty colour. Ugh .
Next annoyance was the stitching . The underside where the band is , seemed to crack with each fitting and that really bothered the heck out of me . That initial bra became extremely faded and looked like a very, very sad old rag by the third wash .
Miss # 1
Miss # 2 is a striped sleeveless mesh tee that turned out to be so ugly , I wonder what came over me . Doesn't deserve any pics either m
Now you're probably wondering why I didn't ask for a refund or shop elsewhere then ? Simple , because I was much larger than I am now , there just wasn't any other option .

H & M - can I M
Heading up north , this year's paddy fields are not as spectacularly golden as in the past .
Still , out of habit , I popped into the best shopping complex in town , which is Aman Central , and head straight for the split level H&M store located within .
H&M medium support , racerback sports bra with ventilating mesh and wide elasticated hem. |

3 firsts towards a minier me
This is the first miniskirt I'm purchasing in a really long time .
It's taken between 8 to 9 months to come to this stage .
My tummy has gone down half the size it previously was without any loose skin problem . There's long term results for you .
Koochi moochi is probably not going to approve but because I live in Penang , the one place in Malaysian where older women of my age and beyond still dare to don such garb , I'm going right ahead and gonna pour myself into one anyway .

2nd pair in 2 months
Bought my first 3 stripe trainers in May , now I've done so much foot battering workouts with them , that the soles are wearing down and making a funny suction sound .
Don't get me wrong , the shoe itself is still intact . Structure still very good .... on the outside that is .
However , the cushioning impact has been drastically reduced and I can feel it . Ignoring that detail just to stretch my ringgit would be a really foolish thing to do , seeing how old I am now .
Just the other day , I was having a chat with this other exercise kaki who told me how she spoilt her knees by not getting a better pair of soles . Too late to turn back time so to speak as the damage is irreversible .
Not just any mat
Have you ever seen a gold yoga mat ?
I sure haven't . Anyway , since I just began to incorporate exercise into my life from last December , inevitably yoga will be a natural progression . Don't care if it has been in the market far back as 2016 ( what the production date on the label says ) but I sure want one for myself !
Where did I get this from ? Body by Cotton On . Bag not included .

Forever not enough
It's a week to Raya and there are massive sales in just about every corner .
In fact , I don't remember the discounts being this hefty before ( last year saw a lot of new beautiful stocks towards Raya but this year , there are massive clearance sales , and I mean massive ) but oh my gawd , you'd better go check out the good shopping complexes here .
Anyway , now that I have dedicated my time to and adopted a firm exercise schedule , the word
SALE hung up all over the shop ,
proved too much !
Alas , I caved in and came out with 4 more very " necessary " sports bras from where else but Forever 21 .
Reasoned with myself that their durability and colour fastness was an
" investment "
( what self delusional bs )

Reebok Sayumi and a Classic Royal duffel
Seriously now . I went back in to see where I had gone wrong . Why so many found them suitable , yet I found fault with the Les Milles Hayasu line. Nope.
Still does not give me that proper fit . Huge issue with a snag in the heel area .
Really don't see what the fuss is all about .
Had also snuck back into another Puma outlet , not impressed when I realised that they still had a long way to go in terms of durability as well as discolouration .
Then I decided to slip my foot into the brown and white Sayumi . Hey , not bad .
Found a black and white lying around but not before a little bit of drama .

Puma - Clash Tights
I stepped in a little starry eyed into the Puma boutique today .
Can't say I wasn't influenced by the exceptional service I received from the staff ( was checking out their Ignite series... omg so cantiklah ) , in the end , I bought my first piece .
Call it a compromise though it seems more like a splurge since I already have acquired some pretty cool tights from Reebok so far.
Clash Tights in Black & Knockout Pink with feather prints .
Otherwise known as part of the ensemble featured on Kylie Jenner's Swan Pack ad ( see bottom of this post ) .

Awkward B23022 moment
Have already worn this pair twice so far . Didn't think much of it when I first purchased it . Purposely got a lower priced range that could take the pounding without costing a bomb . Naturally , I least expected the other girls to be constantly checking out my feet .
Apparently , I'm not the only one who likes the old vintage 3 stripe look . Of course this one's kinda got an updated look but not enough to convince koochi moochi who loves his overseas bought Skecher's to death ! ( how to compare lahhh , cheaper and nicer made some more )
Anyway , one of them stared so hard , with such a steely silence , I just had to look back to see what was bothering her .

Two three stripes
Honestly , I don't know what came over me .
Maybe I do .
At first I was completely disappointed after trying out another sports shoe brand ( a sports brand I've been gaga about lately ) . Nothing seemed to fit . Anything below 400 ringgit was all hype , you'll need to look at the higher end ones for a decent pair , but I was having none of it .There were snags , the cushioning was very odd and on the umpteenth pair , I swore I'd get a blister if I ended up with a pair for the next few months .
Looked at a cheap sports shoe brand . Apparently my ongoing exercise regime has made me more sensitive about getting the right fit . Too tight on one foot , too much grip on the sole . Forget it .
Walked into Adidas and that was it .
Their shoes fit so snugly , damn , I ended up with 2 pairs !

Wearable high performance art
Before I go any further , I'd like you to know that this unique Upendo Taylor / Reebok collaborative piece was launched way back in 2015 .
So it's not new , just that I wasn't into fitness apparel back then and probably would have busted an eyeball trying to squeeze myself into them .
Coming back to the story , I spotted this 2 nights ago , decided not to wait and went back for it last night , you know , since there was only one piece in my size and a good thing too .....
because when I walked into the store and could not find it on the rack , once I started looked for the shopgirl for answers , I almost screamed .
They were packing the whole lot up to transfer back to their warehouse in Selangor ! Omg ! Just in the nick of time !

Forever addicted to Forever 21
You shouldn't ever try buying inner wear or sports attire at Forever 21 .
Wanna know why ?
See now , I'm stuck . See my latest 2 purchases below.
Find myself looking at the logo and feeling utterly happy and content.
Gosh !
I completely lurrrrrvvvv how the pieces feel and look that whenever I'm in the vicinity , I just cannot pull myself away . Just gotta step in and take a peek .
Doesn't help that sports streetwear is so huge at the moment .
