I have, sort of. Shoes are the one thing that 1) I need to do the workout (even though not this many) and 2) won't be too big for me in a year. My plan is to not buy shorts, shirts or anything else though until spring of next year at the earliest. My wife has been buying a lot of new workout clothes but she's already in great shape so most of what she buys will fit her in a year or two. I sure as shit hope that by this time next summer I'm able to wear clothes that I'm wearing right now. That's why I'm wearing all my stuff right now that fits me even the shirts I considered nicer t-shirts that I took care to not work out in or get dirty because the hope is that I will need to replace them all with smaller versions next year.

I hope that I can get my existing shirts & shorts & such to last me that long and even though they may be falling off of me I'm going to make them work until I can buy a size or two smaller since it will be less likely to not fit me moving forward. We got a one-time killer deal (40% off sale prices and free shipping directly from Reebok) on all the shoes in the one pic and they're all different shoes with a different purpose. The one row is my wife's shoes and the other row is mine... less the red/white/blue pair that looks smaller. Those were supposed to be a size 13 and I got shipped an 8 for some reason and I sold them for a profit on Craigslist rather than take advantage of the free return policy. I basically have a Lifter, Sprinter and now two pair of Nano's. I now wear the Nano's outside of working out due to how comfortable they are and I was due some new walking around shoes anyway as my New Balance shoes are looking pretty rough. So the two pair of Nano's I have are the orange 2.0's and now the cargo green 3.0's.. both of which were bought on clearance for a killer price from the Reebok Outlet store at price I likely wouldn't have been able to reproduce on these shoes. If I can manage to find those lifters in cargo green like I posted or those red/white/blue ones I post in my size I will likely buy them as well only because they're discontinued and if I want them I'll have to get them when they pop up which they likely won't. Pretty sure I already missed the bus on that.

So, while I posted up a lot of shoes that I bought I guess I needed a couple of walk around shoes anyway and if I was using these strictly for Crossfit there's no way I'd have four pair of them. I do plan to wait to buy clothes that I need until I achieve a healthier version of me however. The shoes though i can wear even when I do lose weight so I'm not as concerned about those purchases.
