Thank you all so much for the support on yesterday’s identity post. I had to stop myself from writing thank you after every single comment, but just knowing I’m not alone makes me feel a bazillion times better. I realize it’s an everyday challenge to find balance and I’m learning on being ok with that. Having your support helps so much!
Moving on… last night we got out of the house to experience Christmas at Davidson. I know I always talk about how much I love Davidson, but it really is the cutest town! Plus, the had a camel.
We met up with Tanya and her husband, Alex, and had a fabulous time walking around and enjoying the scene.
We even managed to all grab a beer before heading home.
😉
Moving on…
with Christmas coming up soon, I’d like to highlight a product each week that would be worth asking Santa for (FYI- I still believe. If I keep believing, he keeps coming ;)). This week’s choice is a fitness find.
Though there was a lot of mixed feedback of whether Lululemon is worth the money, overall I’ve heard that one of their items is a must have:
The Lululemon Wonder Under
($78 – available in crop or regular)
I have not tried these on myself, but have heard from multiple sources (thanks to twitter!) about how well these pants fit and how they make everyone’s lower half look stellar. I was even told a post-baby muffin top wouldn’t be a problem because they fit so well. If that’s the case, $78 for miracle pants are well worth it in my opinion.
…of course I’d probably have to buy to the crop to fit like regular length on me because I’m such a shorty!
What is one fitness item you want to ask Santa for this year?
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
I just bought the long ones for my mom and the tag literally says “hides muffin tops!” haha can you believe that? So funny. They’re worth it, I promise!
Katie @ Pop Culture Cuisine says
I want those pants too…and a tata tamer…since having my little girl and nursing her I have noticed the “girls” are in definite of more support while working out!!
Brittany says
I could use some better support, too. Have you tried the tata tamer before?
Katie @ Pop Culture Cuisine says
No, but I have heard great things about them. I have always been a bit scared by the expensive price tag, so I am hoping to maybe get one for Christmas to try out.
Chloe (In Fine Feather) says
Lululemon will do free alterations for you so keep that in mind when you purchase your items! I love all their pants and think they are very flattering, plus they have a genius band at the top that really does hide “overflow” 😉
Brittany says
free alterations?! SCORE. That’s a big deal to a little person like me 🙂
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
I’ve always wondered about those pants too since I hear such amazing things. I’m all for making the lower half look better. 😉
Brittney says
I think I have the Lululemon inspire crops, but I whatever they are, I agree, they are amazing!
Sara says
I’d REALLY love a treadmill for Christmas. NE Winters + being pregnant=me not running outside on the icy roads this winter. 🙁
Amanda Perry @ Sistas of Strength says
I’m asking for those too. 🙂
christina says
Awww hahah, love the pic of her grabbing a beer! whoops!
Brittany says
She’s definitely my daughter 😉

I don’t know what I’m asking Santa for this year, but last year Santa brought me a heart rate monitor and it’s been the greatest thing ever. I use it EVERY TIME I workout. It’s helped make my workouts so much more efficient because I know to bust out come cardio moves when my heart rate is dipping too much on strength days and my cardio interval training is so much better, too.
Really, if you want to take your workouts up a notch or know just how intense you are, this is the best investment ever.
Jen @familyfoodfitnessandfun says
These pants are amaze-balls! But then again, I love anything Lululemon. The wunder under crops are amazing too…perfect for those sweaty workouts!
Maria says
I know they mentioned it above, but yes, they do free alterations and at my height, I take full advantage of it! I haven’t tried the Wunder Unders, but have a handful of their other pants and should be ashamed to say that I practically live in them…but I’m not 🙂
Fitness gift: I’d really like some motivation 😉
Brittany says
So you don’t need pants… you need a kick in the pants 🙂
…lame joke…I know.
Maria says
Haha! Love it!
Corrie @ Blurb Column says
I put three fitness related things on my wish list this year: a 65 cm stability ball, an indoor bicycle trainer and a treadmill. I like to give santa a variety of price ranges to choose from. 🙂
The picture of Hailey is adorable.
Christina says
Ooh – those pants do look cute. I’ve never purchased Lulemon myself, so maybe I will need to check those out. Thanks for sharing!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
Wunder Unders are on my Christmas list too! Hopefully Santa delivers…
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
I asked Santa for these too. Santa (aka my hubs) said he didn’t want to see my ass in undies that read “fartlek” FAIL!
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
completely inappropriate, but my favorite pic of my son was when he was 9mo and my sister gave him an (unopened) corona light bottle and he held it.
I am a redneck, apparently.
Brittany says
Apparently I am, too, because I find it hilarious. 🙂
Liz @ IHeartVegetables says
I want to put lululemon on my christmas list too! 🙂
Looks like you had a lovely, festive time 🙂 Happy Friday girl!
kristin point says
I asked santa for a garmin 305 last year and it was the best gift ever! It pushed me to run so much faster! There is a lulumon in my town but I never go bc of the price! I love their stuff though.
Sarah says
I fully support the idea of believing in Santa until i die. Why not? It keeps the magical feeling of the holidays alive.
And i have nothing i want for Christmas this year. Just lots of time with my family =)
Roz@weightingfor50 says
OMG….laughed at the Hailey and a beer shot. Have a wonderful day Brittany!
blackhuff says
I love that you are doing a “Ask Santa” list. Such great idea.
I would love to have new weight lifting gloves. Mine are so worn out 🙁 And maybe a curl bar as well.
Sounds so great the scenery you went to admire. Happy you had a great time.
Becky @ Fit Chick on the Fly says
Lot’s of lulu lemon.. and new sneakers!! 🙂 Can’t wait!!
Jean says
Brittany-I really enjoy your blog. I found your blog during your pregancy an have thoughly enjoyed your posts! I gave birth to my first daughter on September 8th, 2011 and look forward to your posts each day just for the simple fact that our daughters are so close in age!
I wanted to thank you for your identity post. You inspired me to start my own blog and begin to follow my own passions about healthy living/cooking. I want my daughter to be proud of me and know that I followed my dreams and took chances.
Now I just have to get a handle on blogging! It’s harder than it looks! 🙂
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
I’ve got the wonder under crops… and I looove them!
liz says
I am another lululemon fan – it has become the only workout gear I wear. Another tip – once you figure out what size you wear, they have a section on their website called “we made too much”. The items are final sale (which is why the sizing is important) but the prices are discounted and you can find some really good stuff!
