Lululemon 12 Week Challenge A Success!!

A Vision… A Goal… Motivation… Drive…  Success.

Goal Setting.

Have you ever set a goal for yourself?

Were you able to achieve that goal?

What about rewarding yourself for it in the end to acknowledge all of your hard work and dedication?

What better way to reward yourself for reaching that goal then to treat yourself!

Whether it be a pedicure or a massage, whether it be a night out or an extra something special from your favorite sweet shop.

It is always nice to recognize all of your efforts!

Well, our local group of Fit Yummy Mummy's has done just that and I am so darn proud of each of them!!

Twelve weeks ago an idea started to run a Fitness Challenge amongst ourselves. 

For most of us we work out together once, twice even three times a week.  We keep ourselves motivated by working out as a group and at the same time we share our nutrition tips and strategies.

We wanted something to keep ourselves that much more accountable to our healthy lifestyle and to each other.

Jessica and I came up with the details of the challenge and we titled it the Lululemon Challenge.  Meaning a Lululemon shopping trip was our reward in the end!  How cool is that!  Our challenge ran from August 10 to November 2.

Having never been to a Lululemon Athletica location yet, I was SUPER pumped and excited to check out what was in store for us!

Well, low and behold was there ever something in store for all of us!!

Lululemon Athletica Masonville set us up the best night of shopping ever!  They were FanTasTic!!! 

First thing we noticed when we entered the store was a HUGE sign welcoming us Yummy Mummy’s!!

We were flattered and immediately our shopping trip was off to a great start!

We all picked up a little of this and some of that and started trying stuff on.  Well word got out that the “Fit Yummy Mummy's” were in the store and soon Christa, Laryssa and Marie were at our side cheering us on! 

They helped with sizes and ideas for different styles of clothes we needed.  They even provided an assortment of yummy veggies, fruit, cheeses and dips just for us!

Lululemon Athletica Masonville went above and beyond to make our shopping trip the MOST enjoyable!   We never expected that our little idea of challenging and motivating one another would lead to such a recognition!  We were completely flattered by their amazing hospitality and keen interest in our inspiring stories!

Thank you for EVERTHING Lululemon Athletica Masonville, especially Christa, Laryssa and Marie!

Top 10 Transformation Fat Loss Tips

A group of women, myself included, dedicated to achieving
their fitness and fat loss goals this fall just crossed the finish line
completing the 12 Week  "Get Back To Fit" Fall Transformation Challenge.

To help celebrate as well as motivate
others to take action on their goals,
these women made a list of their most
helpful fat loss tips and strategies....

...actions taken to help lose 10-15 pounds,
3-5 inches off their mommy belly, skyrocket
their energy levels and even wear a bikini
for the first time with confidence.

These ladies have shared their Must Have Tips
creating a "Top 10" list so you can give your
fat loss plan a jump start and look your very
best this holiday season!

Top 10 Transformation Fat Loss Tips

1. PLAN, PLAN, PLAN.
Don't wing it.

2. GET RID OF THE SCALE
I would have given up if I was weighing myself
every day! That is what sabotaged me in the past.

3. Social support is crucial.
If you don't have someone to cheer you on,
it's going to be one hundred times harder
than it needs to be. If I didn't have this
support there is no way I would have finished.

4. Keep a DETAILED journal
And Be Honest - no sense fooling yourself.

5. Think positive.
Some days are harder than others; when you
have a bad day, forgive yourself for the
mistakes you made and move on.

6. Consistency.
In workouts, in eating, in all of it. Get
back on the nutrition/workout wagon, even
if you fell off one day.

7. Keep only supportive food in the house
all the time, and make sure you eat enough
of it.

8. Be teachable.
Don't ever think you know it all or know
better.

9. Look for inspiration wherever possible.
Be an inspiration magnet! Reach out to your
support system, get encouragement when needed,
give it every chance you get, look for quotes,
create vision boards, make a goals list of things
that really get you excited and read it often.

10. Take it day by day.
12 weeks seems like a long time but in the end it
totally flies! Take it one day at a time and you
will be victorious in making it to the end!

We are after all in a fun journey.If there is
ever a slip up, calm down , own up and get back up!

Congratulations to ALL the women who completed
the 12 Week  "Get Back To Fit" Fall Transformation Challenge!
