Bonjour!
After an Epic fail of a hockey game (congrats to the US team!), Eric and I slinked off to do WMM2 with our tails between our legs. All was well until we began. My husband proceeded to morph into Richard Simmons. He was doing the most exaggerated poses I have ever seen, pretending he was a yoga master, whirling his arms around, and making loud, breathy noises.
I started with the full plank and crumbled to the ground in laughter at his antics. He started to do the fastest bicycle crunches I have ever seen in my life. I thought he was going to pull a muscle!! It was utterly hilarious.
I. could. not. hold. a pose. for. the. life. of. me.
Need less to say, my abs got a workout, but not in the traditional format! ;)
I concluded two things:
1) My husband is sabotaging me because he wants better abs come Jan 31st.
2) I need to hide a whittle cam in the room.
GAME ON, HUSBAND. GAME ON.
I tried to piece it together, but it is a bit blurry… ;)

Get ready…

‘Cuz us two crazy Canucks might be coming to a city near you!
We found a sale on flights to Florida (Westjet) after months of searching!
The sale was only on for the end of March, so we booked our trip from March 20-April 1st.
We will be staying in Naples with my mom and stepdad. Eric and I are planning on renting a car and road trippin’ around Florida’s coast for a bit too.
I used to live in Florida when I was young, but Eric has never been to Florida before, so it would be fun to do some touristy things for him. I’d also love to plan some blog meet-ups along the way! I’m hoping to find a good deal on a rental car and possibly a couple hotels along our road trip.
73 days of winter to go!
Putting it that way seems long. :(

I am going to give it away to one lucky reader.
Errr…maybe I won’t.

On the agenda for Wednesday is a CSD– ‘Crazy Shipping Day’
I meant to mention that I am throwing an Empower (chocolate coffee) Glo Bar in with the Healthy Resolutions Fit Packs. Empower is quickly becoming the #1 customer favourite, so I figured I would include it into the pack too. When you open the Empower package a wonderful aroma of coffee fills the air. It is a great morning bar.
Namaste!
OMG what DON”T i want from lulu!!!
my first choice is Wunder Under Crop*Org in heathered lolo purple!!!
my absolute fav pair of running/spinning/whatev’ pants!
YAY for vacation planning! Hope you have fun in Florida!
I am a long time reader but have never commented before.
I just wanted to say that I’m so glad you have a Husband that you can be yourself around: have fun, be goofy, PLAY and generally be dorks. I truly think that makes for a lasting relationship. When many superficial things are gone (looks, body, the ability to party late into the night etc.) are gone, being Best Friends is what will keep you two happy together forever. Married couples are still separate human beings; they just happen to mesh well with one another. :)
I love the fact too that you are vegan, and he isn’t, and all is well. Another great example. Thanks so much for all your positivity, even during your rough times.
I would take basically anything from Lulu, but really I just want to say thanks for such a funny post and making me laugh outloud with that Richard Simmons pic! So funny!
What a generous give away and fun post! I have my eye on the lululemon hoodie, although really anything in that store catches my eye. :)
How appropriate…on the top of my list is a bag! I’ve been really getting into yoga over the past 3 months and practice at a local studio 4 times per week minimum, but haven’t actually gotten a bag yet for my mat, towel, etc! Second on my list is one of their cute purple Manduka mats:) I have lots of love for lululemon!
Ohhh I would love to win the yoga bag! And I’d love to get my hands on one of the Lulu zip ups similar to the one you have.
As far as where to go in FL, I think you’ve got to make a stop in Disney World.
What product from Lulu WOULDN”T I want? I absolutely loooove their products. I am in need of a new gym bag desparatelya nd would loooove this beautiful yoga tote….I am in the need of a new tank as well – I have found their tanks to be THE most comfy to run in ever…alas, cannot afford their stuff, so this would be sublime!!! Have fun in Florida…wish I could be there to meet up…Hugs from the PNW…P.S> Got my GloBars order and they are GONE already, lol….I had to hide them to keep the family from eating them – HUGE hit…will be ordering more soon :) HUGS
I really really need the crop fashion pants from Lululemon!! Also, while in Florida you must visit DisneyWorld and Destin beach. It is such a Pretty beach!
The sport cardi is at the top of my Lululemon list! It’s so pretty and functional at the same time. I live in South Carolina, but am visiting Jacksonville, FL for a wedding in three weeks so I’ll let you know if I find anything fab there.
A good sports bra! Can never have too many!
Besides the tote, I really want a pair of yoga pants! I am actually from Ft. Lauderdale, FL and I have been to Naples tons of times because we own a house in Ft. Meyers. You should check out Sanibel Island. The beaches are beautiful and there are tons of water sports to do! I highly recommend you venture to the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area. You need to go to Sublime, a vegetarian/vegan restaurant http://www.sublimerestaurant.com. It is my absolute favorite restaurant! If you have time, you should also check out the Keys/Key West because the snorkeling there is amazing!
I love the sport cardi! It’s wearable anywhere.
What a great bag! I am saving up my Christmas gift cards to purchase the Run – energy pullover….need something to keep me warm during these Canadian winter runs.
What a gooooowjus bag! My favorite Lululemon product is most definitely their ta ta tamers. Most amazing sports bra ever. And they last forever.
My family and I are taking a trip to Florida in the summer! I am beyond excited.
My favorite Lululemon product has to be the groove pants. They’re great for yoga, but also great for going out and lounging around. They are so comfortable! They’re on my wishlist because I would love to have another pair.
Go visit Disneyworld!
Lululemon Yoga Pants = Heaven. (plus this awesome tote would be nice!) Great giveaway :)
I would really like another of their crossbacked bras. Love everything in that damn store!
I’ve been eyeing the Gather Together Jacket http://shop.lululemon.com/Gather_Together_Jacket/pd/c/550/np/550/p/1657.html, I love the length of it and the thumb holes!
I’m eyeballing the yellow/black Track ‘n Field Jacket, which is on final sale. If I had 109 USD lying around, it’d be mine!
If you should stumble into Miami: The Bayside is a fun time with great shopping and cuisine! I highly recommend Lombardi’s Ristorante – awesome Northern Italian food! There is also a Cuban place, Mambo Cafe – that was really good. And Garden of Eatin’, in Little Haiti, is an off the beaten path place with excellent vegan Caribbean cuisine!

aww man you should really keep it for yourself! I want a pair of lululemon yoga pants. I’ve been wanting to buy a pair but can’t get myself to spend as much on them as a pair of jeans (which I wear everyday).
Florida…I don’t really like Miami, and that’s the only place I’ve been, so I would say it’s not worth it? A lot of people love it, but I don’t care for it
I want the groove pants soooo bad! They look so comfy & flattering!
You must must visit Disneyworld! I live in Georgia & I still have never been. It’s on my to do list!
This bag is adorable! I’ve never heard of Lululemon, but I will be stopping by their site asap to check them out after seeing this bag! Thanks for the giveaway!
I was just in Lululemon yesterday and fell in love with the Run:Racer Pullover!! What an awesome giveway :)
PS. LOVED your CTV interview!!
I LOVE lulu jackets!!!! So fashionable and durable!!! Love the colours of that bag!!! I need to get a job there :)
Are you guys gona hit Miami?
Huge Lululemon fan here! I would love to have their Apres Sport Jacket!
What a great give-a-way!
OOOh! I absolutly LOVE that tote! I have my eyes on the grove pants at lulus! Awsome give a way!
Have you ever been to the blog lululemon addict? I visit that blog all the time, I’m a total addict. I have many items I want from lulu, right now I am loving the new Leader of the Track Jacket in bold blue.
I don’t have anything from there yet but I just love all their clothes! So cute and functional!
I think you should try to go to Sanibel/Captiva while you are in FL. So gorgeous! And I hear Marcos Island is amazing!
I LOVE THAT BAG!!!
I adore everything on LuLuLemon – and have nothing. I want a nice hoodie and nice pants!!
and that bag!
In Florida – How about Islands of Adventure – Skip Disney!
I would love a running skirt! I don’t own anything from Lululemon yet!
yoga pants!!!
what a generous thing to do :)
I love everything LuLu in fact I bought my first remix hoodie as a motivator to lose weight, 6 months later I bought a smaller sized one :-)
Love the yoga bag!

I need a jacket to keep me warm while wicking the sweat during winter runs and the tracker jacket looks perfect!
I love all lululemon’s groove pants and I just got their groove wrap!
Wow! I absolutely love that bag!!! I saw it on the Lulu website and immediately fell in love with it! That is actually my #1 wish item from Lululemon!!!
The groove pants are my favourite and wear them religiously.. but I love the sweaters from there too!
My favourite item from Lululemon is their Run: Swiftly Tech long sleeve shirt – it’s got silver fibres in it to keep nasty bacteria away! It’s perfect for runs in cold Canadian weather and it’s at the top of my wishlist because the one I have is almost worn out I wear it so much…
The Lululemon product that I am most coveting is the Skidless towel…or the Manduka Equa towel. I have recently started taking a few Bikram yoga classes a week, and a regular bath/beach towel just isn’t cutting it. I definitely need to invest in something more appropriate!
I came across your blog on the SparkPeople website, and your writing resonates with me. Thanks for sharing your stories!
I love your website! I want a purple remix hoodie! I love that beautiful bag too! I went to FL last march and the miami zoo was wonderful, everything was outside and you can fee the giraffes !
I love that Lululemon loves tall girls and realizes that we like doing yoga, too! More importantly, we like doing yoga without having to wear floods! They have the greatest selection of LONG yoga pants.
I’d love to try some wonder unders–i’m ready to branch out from my nike running stuff…an di *do* love thier yoga pants so why not!?!? That bag is adorable…
I would love a good lululemon sports bra! but this bag would be great to have since I AM a yoga instructor and my current bag needs replaced!
Awesome tote, I am looking foward to going to the lululemon shop in Washington DC this weekend because I own nothing of theirs! But their clothing looks so comfy.
I used to live in Florida, too. Definately drive up the coast to St Petersburg (about 2.5 hours). They have a cute down town and you can walk along a promonade on the Tampa Bay. Or, closer to Naples, Sanibel island is good to if you like beautiful beaches with awesome shells. Have fun!
That bag! I also really need some warm running gear from lululemon :)
I love the Run: Hills Pullover! It is so cute, and in my favorite color – pink :)
my top wishlist is anything and perhaps everything!! I don’t own anything from lululemon but would love to!! It’s just kind of too pricey for my college student budget. But that yoga bag is so pretty!!!
Bri
Oh, lulu, how I love thee.
I love your tops, your crops, your jackets.
I’ve even forgiven you for that season you declared banana yellow was the “it” colour… (seriously, it didn’t flatter anyone)
Right now, I am coveting a Scoop Neck Tank to replace the one ruined by my running water belt the day I ran my Half Marathon. Many tears were shed.
Now, if only they would bring back the Crescent pant and then my life would be complete again.
(and yes, I’m fully aware I have an addiction)
I love love love lululemon! my #1 wishlist item is the half mesh/half normal pants!! there the best keeps you cool and warm all in one!
you absolutely must visit the Orlando Outlets. . .the prime outlets near disney has a LULULEMON OUTLET!! great deals!!!
also visit Disney!! Its the happiest place on earth and my fav place in florida
I would love love love to have this running skirt ( http://shop.lululemon.com/RunSpeed_Skirt/pd/c/580/np/580/p/1841.html ). It is really cute and I love running skirts, makes me feel all pretty :)! But the bag would be really great too!!
Number one would have to be one of their REmix hoodies….I have yet to buy one, but I hear lots!
As for Florida..why not Epcot? :D I had so much fun when I went there. ♥
