Above is a picture of the store front. Notice the cute flowers in front of the window.
LuluLemons is a store that sells athletic apparel along with offering free yoga classes to encourage an active lifestyle.
The workers even post their goals, for example: take spin class twice a week, etc.. This store even offers a free rooftop yoga class at sunset when the weather is agreeable.
Well I was nervous about going in today. I won, yes won! A free tank top from the store during a drawing for participants at a Body Pump launch party. As most of you know I have lost 60 pounds since January. (I have been holding this weight the last month! Ugh! I have 40 left to go). After I won the top I went on line and saw the size chart, there xl is a size 12. Which I am not -I am a loose 16 or a tight 13/14. I was a little scared of going in and being laughed out of the store. ( I could hear the mocking in my head) but I sucked it up, and told the very nice sales lady (I am horrible with names!) that I was fearful that I might not "fit" into the tank. She was SO kind, she said she thought this other style of tank that had a built in bra and offered more support might just work. Did I mention that she offered to swap out my win of tank style 1, for tank style 2.
I will be honest, I have not bought a workout tank for myself yet. I tend to stick to yoga pants and a t shirt. However, I really like the comfort & support of this tank!
I will look even better in this tank in 10 more pounds down! Ahh! That tummy is getting smaller but slowly! So 10 more pounds is what I hope to loose for this calendar year, then tackle the last 30 pounds to make my goal weight in 2012.
At times like when the scale won't budge I remind myself where I have come from.

Amy ~ You look absolutely AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteHow I love Lulemon! If only it was budget friendly! I'm actually asking for my 1st piece (yoga pants) for Christmas. :-)
You look awesome in that tank! You're an inspiration, and I know you'll get past this plateau. I read just this morning that you may need to "fool" your metabolism by mixing up your daily caloric intake - 1200 one day, 1000 the next, then 1100 - because it gets used to the same number daily and adjusts into survival mode for that number of calories. I hadn't heard this before, but maybe it could help. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing all the photos. What an amazing year you've had.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in the tank; the blue is perfect for you!
