Tomorrow is the last day of 2008, and I can speak for myself here when I say that I am not so sad to say goodbye. In fact, I am excited for a fresh start in 2009. However high our goals for the New Year, we all need a little inspiration to follow through with our projected self-improvements. Personally, I would like to be more consistent with my fitness routine. I have tried many things  to motivate myself to attend a Yoga class or to go for a brisk run, and nothing has really inspired me to partake in exercise more than on a sporadic basis. So I figured that I should use my love of shopping as a motivational tool. I will shop for workout clothing so that I will be so inspired to wear the clothing that I will gladly make the trek the gym. Although I'm embellishing the truth a bit, the point is the same: you need to set yourself up to be successful in your resolutions, no matter what they are. My way is to buy the gear I need to make working out more pleasant.

I got a little more motivation  from Gap, where they are currently having a special New Year's 30% off sale on all work out bottoms. Once my favorite lounge pants and now my favorite workout pants, these Stretch Cotton Fold Over Pants are now under $25 with 6% cash back. These pants are super comfortable and quite possibly the most flattering workout pants I have ever worn. They go from early morning Yoga class to the coffee shop-without screaming "I just worked out".



Stock up on the essentials while all Gap Body Sport bottoms are 30% off and save. Hurry, the sale ends January 14 when merchandise will return to regular price. And don't forget that after tomorrow our Double Cash Back Holiday Promotion ends, so Gap will return to 3% cash back, so you'd better act fast if you want to save as much as possible.
