Fit Chic: Power Into Back to School Season

It’s officially Back to School season! And even though I don’t have a child old enough to be in school yet, I can definitely feel the change. Everyone seems to be getting “back to the swing of things” and work life kicks into high gear. I personally notice these changes because our babysitter homeschools, so we’ve changed up the days I take Leyton to her house. I’ve noticed the real estate market changing a little bit as people are around more after the summer and finally my Pure Barre classes are starting to get fuller again. 

To say that this is a busy season for everyone is certainly no exaggeration. As I’ve been running around from my real estate job for the Jamie Goff Team to Pure Barre to Home Grown Blog Events planning to photo shoots for the blog, I decided I had earned myself some cool new kicks to power me through my busy day.

I wanted some new shoes that were both functional and cute. I really think I found the perfect pair in these Women’s Nike Air Max Sequent Running Shoe. I ordered them online at Famous Footwear and can’t believe the great bargains you can find there! If you want to see more of their styles, you can follow them on Instagram. These shoes are just the ticket to power through this busy back to school season.

Putting on these shoes makes me feel strong and motivated. Since I’m already laced up and ready to rock and roll, I start thinking things like, Well, I should go ahead and go for an extra walk today since I’ve already got my cute sneakers on. I plan to put my best foot forward to end this summer on a strong note. Even though I went to the lake this weekend, I made sure to get in a few quick calisthenics and I’m packing some tennis equipment and these shoes to take with me to the beach this weekend. It’s all about balance!

Even though I may be splurging on a few extra drinks and desserts, I don’t feel bad…that’s part of why I work so hard most days of the year. Plus if I walk the beach and get my heart rate pumping then I still feel like I’m doing something good for my body while I’m away from home.
