Co-ordinates envy?

So the story goes...

I am walking my usual route of a morning, pumping to the beats and feeling pretty good. Then out of nowhere, this pink co-ordinated ball of mass overtakes me with her super perfect power walking stride and I am blown away. I drop back and go another route. That was a couple of weeks ago. Now I look for her in her trendy co-ordinates and she motivates me. I try to catch her LOL.

I caught myself looking for a co-ordinates set at Rebel on the weekend too, slaps hand. At $70 a piece for some, I think I'll stick to what I've got. It's funny to catch yourself doing something silly like this. Obsession over.

LOL. I can just see you strutting in a perfect pink co-ordinated set. NOT. I bought my stuff from Target and its kind of co-ord. Brown pants with a thin pink stripe and a pink jacket that has some brown swirly stuff on it. Yep I'm a pink girl. And a blue girl. And a black girl.I should stop talking about me.

Hope you have a wonderful day and did you stop to think that Ms Pink may have been following you and that you were her inspiration and that was the first day she was actually able to pass you :)

Hey, I love comments that relate their own experience to what you've written because then you get to know the person better :-)

I comment this way too because I can relate posts to my own experiences, which is why I laugh so much!

Man, you should see this woman. There is no way I was ever her inspiration. She was born that way! LOL.

Photos please of your co-ordinates. I'll get Dan to take a photo of my holey gear.

LOL at her co-ordinated outfit. I actually think its a little funny when I see girls at the gym in their co-ordinated outfits, especially the pink outfits. I just wear my trackies, and any top I find. No point spending too much money on co-ordinated outfits when we keep shrinking out of them!

Leighanne said...

I am the same, i just wear trackies, and one of hubbys T-shirts.

Somehow could not imagine you in pink...

That's so funny! Women in co-ordinates crack me up. You know when I'm out exercising because I'm wearing my trackies (which now have two small holes in them) and a faded band t-shirt ... my faded red Jesus and Mary Chain shirt is a particular fave! I used to go into Fitness First in this ensemble, which is like walking into co-ordinated work-out gear hell. Everyone matches in there! I really don't see the point in blowing $200 on clothes you're just going to get sweaty in anyway.

I think if you wear old stuff you can spend all your money on nice new everyday clothes instead as the weight drops off.

Ged said...

And yet you all continue to think about it. Shows a subconscious desire in all of you :) Thankgoodness I'm a guy, I have other sub problems...

So, so funny that story cracked me up. I love when I'm out walking and you see people that you know have spent way to much time getting ready to come out and exercise very strange.

Theres a group of about 3 ladies who walk @ the same time I do they are probably about 60ish and they power past me so I have made it my little game to try to catch them, makes the time go so fast. Haven't caught them yet , but I'll get there:)

Co-ords are NOT hot. If you have the time to sort out a different outfit for every single occasion, your priorities are screwed.

Mary's ARE hot.

Even Bloody Ones. I mean the drink, you know.

Mary said...

Haha..don't worry babe, it's not going to happen. Well in PINK anyway ;-) I totally agree with Suzy on spending my money on other clothes, especially at the rate I'm losing weight.

Sue said...

Ick to co-ordinates! What used to really bug my arse when I was a new Mum, was those women with small babies who had perfect makeup and the socks even matched their jerseys!

A Girl Running said...

Oh wow, that is just fantastic. I love the way you described her. She must be pretty fast to overtake you. It is great how she motivates.

Funny, I can't see you in a perfect pink co-ord set either

Catesa said...

yeah you are so not the fuzzy pink with white racing stripe kinda gal, now if it came in black and purple vinyl with a sexy lace trim i may just say yes i can see you in coordinates :D

missjesse said...

So do you see this woman all the time on your walks? There is a girl who jogs the blocks of my suburb and we have moved twice in the last two years and I swear everywhere we move she jogs by. SHe isn't inspiring though, she is very very thin, bordering on anorexic. Co-ords is very JLo i reckon.

Kate said...

I love racing people, when they don't know! :-)

K said...
