So… I’m not losing weight.
For the past 2 weeks the scale dips down and then it zooms right back up again. I don’t think I’m in a plateau situation but I’m trying to see what changes I can make to get the scale moving in the direction that I would like. The first thing I’m doing is nixing alcohol from my diet. My life in NYC is very much surrounded by cocktails. My week can have a combination of wine with Robert, after work cocktails, open bar blogging events, etc. and those are calories that aren’t necessary, so I’m starting there. The Plus Size Princess Fitness Challenge (#PSPfit) is 100% about getting fit and healthy and I’m definitely doing that but I want weight loss to be one of the results of a stronger healthier life.
The other thing I’m doing is finding inspiration to keep trying. I spent the weekend looking at plus size swimwear by Simply Be and fantasizing about wearing a more daring bathing suit this summer. Of course, I find inspiration from the #PSPfit girls on twitter/instagram/tumblr. I’ve also found motivation in having legit workout gear because new gym clothes make me want to go work out more.
The latest addition to my #PSPfit wardrobe is from JCPenney’s Xersion line, The pieces are perfect for an active Plus Size Princess. Their racer-back tank flares out at the waist, so its not tight on my tummy. Their colorful jackets are designed to loop your headphones through the pocket so you don’t drop your phone. Best of all, they make really amazing workout leggings with reflective stripes and a pocket in the back for your phone/keys/credit cards. Its nice to have plus size active wear that goes beyond leggings and a t shirt. Just call me “Sporty Spice” 😉

The sizing on these items is pretty standard. Everything I have fits like a glove and the shirt and pants have adjustable draw string waist bands. Also note that the tank doesn’t have a shelf bra, so I’m wearing a sports bra underneath, but the shirt is made to camouflage that.
How are YOUR 2013 fitness goals coming along?

Happy Thursday, Sporty Spice! The Xersion line is great. Not only is the line fashionable, it’s affordable. Can’t wait to see what they bring out for the Spring. The JC Penney at Herald Square had a great selection on clearance. I definitely had to stock up. 🙂
RIght? I’m really liking the pieces…

Thank you for sharing this info. I live in Toronto, but go to Buffalo,NY shopping all the time. I went to JC Penny a few weeks ago and the Xersion line was on sale. Now I look great in my Zumba class and I didn’t have to break the bank for it. 🙂

I <3 Xersion! I recently discovered the line a month ago when I was randomly walking through JCPenney & the price tag caught my eye. Now I'm in JCPenney's all the time perusing their fitness section. What I adore the most about Xersion (other than the low price tag), is that their crops & pants DO NOT ride up in unseemly places! Best thing ever! I've tested it doing crazy crossfit stuff, running, and weight lifting & they stay in place! The only other crops I've found that don't ride up are Lululemons & that brand is pricey! Plus Xersion is flattering.
