HOLY Shape Up!!! I am so thrilled that you’re as excited as I am for the challenge. Thank you so much to those of you who have already signed up! Keep an eye on your email for the password + all of the Shape Up details. You have until Friday to sign up if you haven’t already.
Along with the fun adventures of this past weekend, I also had the chance to do some cooking. I made some lactation oaties for a friend who just had twins:
(I told the Pilot he would lactate if he ate any)
sautéed BBQ zucchini to go with lunch one afternoon
and some Paleo bread for us to enjoy this week.
The bread is an almost-weekly staple; I especially love it with a smear of sunflower seed butter and drizzle of honey.
In addition to the cooking, I had a few minutes to make a sell/donate stash from our closet.
I took some clothes to Buffalo Exchange to sell and I have to say, it’s a special kind of judgment when the sales associate digs through your clothing, deciding what they’ll keep. It’s an extra special type of judgment when said clothing buyer hardly takes anything from your pile, but has a heyday with the neon Forever 21 garb from the pile next to yours. I felt very old.
Usually when I go through my closet to donate and sell items, I have a pretty good idea of what I need to take to Goodwill, and what Buffalo might take. This time I was totally off!
It’s pretty easy for me to take clothes I’ll never wear again to make room in the closet, but the tried, true (and grungy) items tend to have a longer shelf life.
I have a few t-shirts that I love to lounge around in:
my Tiger Sharks shirt, any of the Pilot’s graphic tees (I especially love sleeping in them when he’s deployed), a few race/gym shirts
(still have that shirt, 3 years later)
and anything with soft Pima cotton.
Needless to say, I was pretty stoked when Reebok sent two super comfy tees this month as part of our partnership.
They fit well, have a nice stretch to them, and the luxurious fabric made me want to cry tears of joy. I can tell I’ll be wearing them a lot!
I loved the shirts so much that I asked Reebok if they’d like to do a giveaway and was so excited when they said yes.
One lucky winner will receive one of each of these shirts:
(the short sleeve V neck and love fit tee)
All you have to do is leave a comment with your favorite T-shirt, or something in your closet you’ll always keep.
I’ll pick a random winner tomorrow (Wednesday, 5/29) at midnight EST.
Enjoy your night!
xoxo
Gina

I got a Pearl Jam shirt in Seattle in 1994 that I’ll never, ever give up. 🙂
My favorite silky j crew dress that I ironed a hole in but love it too much I can’t throw it away!!
I have some Touristy Ecuador tees from the 80’s that ill keep forever! My mom is from Ecuador, and I’ve worn them since I was a kid
Oh mani still have some tee shirts from High School trips ! I can’t help it. They’re nostalgic AND comfy
My all time fave is a fratty tank my sorority made a couple years ago for tailgate… Sorry I’m Not Sorry.
You can never go wrong with a bad*ss tee!
My favorite shirt is one from Snowbird made by american apparel that my brothers got me on a road trip they took. It was so cute they thought of me, and its so comfy i will never throw it out!
I’ve seen these great t’s around the world wide web! So neat… I think one thing I can’t throw away is probably a now-ratty shirt that says “Bonjour” and the O is a heart…My mom gave it to me and when I wear it I think of her, especially because those are the first three letters of my name and it makes HER think of ME! …oh the memories. 🙂
So cute! Growing up my dad travelled a lot for business. Every city he went to, he got me a tshirt with the city name. I love those tshirts and I can never ever get rid of them. He used to say that he could travel the world but I was always in his heart. 🙂
There are too many items that I just can never get rid of…I finally got a pair of volleyball sweatpants that I have had for probably 11 years…they were super comfy! I really like the red Love Fitness shirt!
One shirt that I will never get rid of is a t-shirt my son made me in pre-school for Mother’s Day (he is 14 now!). It is his footprint stamped onto the front and then decorated into an angel and it says “Mommy’s Little Angel”. Love it! 🙂
My favorite shirt is a super soft grey shirt with USA in stars and stripes. I won’t ever let it go! And I know exactly what you mean about that special kind of judgment….it’s brutal! But it made me laugh out loud when I read about it. Thanks for keeping us entertained!
Im a tshirt and jeans girl. I love really soft fabrics that dont irritate. Cant wait to try this bread recipe gina!
I went to a very traditional university where we had to wear academic gowns a lot. I will never get rid of my gown because of all the memories it holds!
Thanks for the opportunity – the shirts are awesome. I especially like the ‘love fitness’ one!
oh my goodness… I am embarrassingly obsessed with my Cleveland Marathon t-shirt…. from 2 years ago! 🙂 It is the perfect blue and worn in just right. My husband tried to throw it away once!
seven years later and I will never get rid of my undergrad nutrition dept t shirts!
I tend to be the opposite of a pack rat, and am a little sad when I think about the shirts I’ve thrown away. 🙁 But in the 90’s, we wore our t-shirts over-sized and I wouldn’t be caught dead at the gym in most of the ones I’ve saved! Love some of my old sorority tees, but would definitely love that Reebok v-neck!! 😀
I have a soft sweatshirt that is ugly but I can’t get rid of because it’s so comfy.
my favorite workout tee’s are definitely ones with wicking materials, usually racerback style. i haven’t found one brand that i’m committed to, but these reebok ones look awesome!
Cute shirts! I would never get rid of my dads extra large sweatshirt with, “La Crosse Dad” on it. So comfy!
I actually just took some of my clothes to Plato’s Closet today and felt exactly like you did! I was surprised at some of the stuff they didn’t take, and even more surprised by others clothes I saw them accepting!! I have a thrift store Atlanta Braves baseball tee that I will never give up! It’s so soft and comfy!
Love those shirts!
And I love my old college basketball sweatpants. They are too big for me now but that just makes them even better!
I still have my hospital volunteer uniform (aka candy-striping uniform) in my closet for some reason! It reminds me of the importance of giving back and volunteering. And it would be a good Halloween costume in a pinch!
Thanks for hosting the giveaway! 🙂
I love both shirts!! The one thing in my closet I can’t part with a pair of black workout capris. They are old, have a few holes in the seams but are the most comfy pants I own!!
Just cleaned out my t shirt drawer… Can’t seem to part with any of my dive shirts.
I have a thermal from high school that I cannot get rid of! It’s my goal to fit into it – even if I never wear it out! Also – signing up for the shape up…really can use something to change up my routine right now!
I love the “love fitness” shirt. I’m actually wearing one of those pieces I’ll never throw away–a t-shirt my fiancé bought for me that says “COOL STORY BRO.” It’s ridiculous, but so comfortable, and perfectly oversized for sleeping!
My favorite t-shirt is a shirt I received after buying my prom dress my junior year of high school (6 years ago!) It says, “I want my dress from Peaches or Im not going to the prom. It has a little pageant girl on it and I think it’s the cutest thing. I refuse to get rid if it even though it has seen better days ; )
My husband’s practice football jersey from high school. I love how comfy and big it is, sleep in it in the wintertime.
I love the 1 more rep shirt! I love any shirt with the soft cotton. I have a few crossfit shirts that I can’t part with because they are so comfortable!
My favorite tees are plain ole cotton v-necks. Well worn and so soft!
For the better part of my life my favorite shirt was a Colombo yogurt shirt my mom had gotten as some promotional thing at her workplace. It was not a particularly attractive shirt and I only wore it around the house, but it was so soft and comfy. It was so worn out when I finally got rid of it that it had to go in the trash… too threadbare for a rag, even! My current favorite tee is my Locally Grown Massachusetts (http://locallygrownclothing.com/shop/massachusetts-tee/) tee. I am eyeing a few more of the shirts on the site now!
a mustard yellow coat I received 5 years ago…from forever 21 😛
13 years later and I still can’t part with my old grungy college t-shirt from my freshman year! I would love these new t-shirts, thanks so much for hosting the giveaway!!
I love the BOTH of them! I will not get rid of my tattered up old UofA sweater, it was given to me years before I became a wildcat… I just can’t part with it!
The favorite item in my closet I will always keep is a sweatshirt that is many sizes too big that my husband lent to me on one of our first dates. That was seven years ago! As ridiculous as I must look wearing with the aweatshirt on, It always gives me a sense of comfort when I wear it.
I have these super soft pj pants they are falling apart but I can’t throw them away.. They are so comfy!
I have some old graphic tees from high school (10 yrs ago) that I will never part with. I would pick them any day over my newer less faded shirts. I try to just wear them around home but every now and then, they make a public appearance….no shame.
I have a green and white baseball t shirt that says “deputy joe” I have no idea what it means. I think it belonged to a friend of mine years ago but I’ve taken it over! It’s ripped in the back but I love it for sleeping!
I would really like the love fitness tshirt! The t shirt in my closet I could never give away is my finisher tee my mom got me for the half marathon i did 🙂
I will love my Frye boots forever!
I will always love my Victoria Secret sweats, as ratty, old & as many as I collect throughout the years I can neverrrr get rid of them!
I have my semi-formal dress from 8th grade…and wore it to 5 weddings last summer, 13 years later! Eek!
My favorite sweatshirt is a zip up hoodie that I got when I was in college–the pocket is ripped and it is soo faded but I love it
I have a flannel button up from Gap that I “borrowed” from my now hubby when we started dating 16 years ago. It has definitely seen better years but I will never get rid of it!
I have an old t-shirt that I got in ballet when I was in elementary school. I love it and sleep in it all the time.
I have an old band t-shirt from my favorite band in high school. Never getting rid of it.
I love my track sweatpants from high school. Soo comfy!
My “Moroney Insurance” shirt which is so soft and literally see-through will NEVER be tossed out!!
There is nothing like a great worn in t-shirt 🙂
I love an old sweatshirt that I have..so comfy!
i have the comfiest/rattiest sweatshirt that i’ll never get rid of. if i win these shirts at least i’ll think twice about wearing it in public 😉
I really like the love fitness tee! The tshirt I could never get rid of is the finisher tee my mom bought me after I completed my half marathon 🙂
