I need to confess. I’m not on the Lululemon wagon. I only have one pair of capris…. and that’s it. I buy a good chunk of my workout gear at Costco.
There I said it.
I bought this little gem last night for just $19.99 (Cleary I suck at taking self portraits with my 50mm lense!)
I love that it has thumb holes, and a high neck to prevent the back of my neck from getting chilled.
I had big plans to make it to the gym again tonight, but work got in the way. Jersey and I ran 2.5km to the dog park, she played for 30 mins, then we ran home. Jersey is spent.
When I got home, I did another 33 min intense workout on EA Active. Felt great.
Andrew worked late so I took advantage of not having to cook . I made myself some oatmeal. Topped with chia seeds, craisins, pumpkin seeds and some milk chocolate chippies. 
I was a little low on the veggie intake for the day so I had a salad in a glass: Almond breeze, spinach, ff yogurt, frozen strawberries, Amazing Grass and a little agave.
Dessert: His and hers hot chocolate. How cute are these mugs? We got them for a wedding gift. On the inside of the rim they say “And they lived happily ever after”
I have a crazy busy day ahead of me tomorrow. I have just a week left before I’m off on 2 weeks vacation (one week in Mexico, 4 days in Quebec City)… I have no idea how I’m going to get it all done in just a week! Goodnight!

I don't have anything from lulumon either. Give me old navy and I'll be fine ;)
Cute mugs!!!!!!!!!!!
Awwwwww....Jersey's so cute! And the his and hers mugs are too!
I'm going to go to Costco next week I think and check out their stuff. Lulu is expensive, but it lasts!
H =)
I'm way too cheap (aka broke) for lulu too! Besides, Costco really does carry some awesome quality workout wear. I also get workout wear at Walmart, Target, Adidas outlet centre and even Value Village. I got something new once from Walmart and my fitness instructor oohed and ahhed over it, she thought it was Lulu. She was quite impressed when I told her it was from Walmart.
I like Costco's workout clothing. I have a couple of stretch nylon type jackets and they are so comfortable and wash up well.
Jersey is too cute.
Lulu is DEFINITELY too expensive for me, though in Calgary there is this great knock-off place that has same good quality stuff as lulu but not nearly as expensive!
I think I will be making a trip to Costco asap. That looks like the PERFECT running hoodie!r
I don't have anything from Lululemon, either.
I LOVE the mugs! And I never say that! Those are awesome!
My word verification was "supper." I thought it was funny...
Wow! $19.99? You could probably get 3 (or 4?) of those for the price of one lululemon hoodie.
Gotta love a bargain :)
Those thumbholes come in handy...I have a North Face jacket that has them, and at first they drove me nuts...until the weather got cold!
Mexico sounds nice right about now
I do like my lulu capris and my lulu headbands for workouts.
That being said.. I have bought some great stuff from Old navy and Costco.
1) Your doggie looks too sweet!!! Love a sleeping dog.
2) I am sucker for thumbholes. It is crazy.
I've never heard of lulu whatever it is, but I just LOVE your mugs!! I want to get me some! I wonder if they'd be easy to find... I would love to give my hubby a sweet gift like that for V day. Good job working out even though you couldn't make it to the gym!
I can't afford lulu. I ran my marathon in Target running capris. Your jacket is cute, love the color.
Those mugs are awesome.
I hope you get it all done before Mexico, aaah, Mexico, excuse me while I have a day dream of sitting on the beach....
I would LOVE to own lulu clothes... but I am far to cheap. I go in, try stuff on, LOVE the clothes, and then slap myself for considering spending $100 on workout pants, and head over to COSTCO! Yes, I too buy the majority of my workout clothes at costco. LOL.
I am a sale/bargain whore.
I have a few Lulu things but only because they were a really good deal. I got a new hoodie online - free shipping and $$ off - and it is a men's small. Who cares? Dealio.
Lulu clothes are so expensive! And I don't really see that they're better than other, "lesser" brands. I've bought some good gear from Mark's Work Warehouse and online at shopadidas.ca.
I can't bring myself to pay the lulu prices. I have overpaid at the Running Room but have learned my lesson. I buy my exercise gear at Old Navy, Winners and, most recently, at Costco. I bought a long sleeved top there just before Christmas in the same colour. I also got a base layer there that makes all the different when running in this cold weather. I might have to go tonight and pick up that jacket. :)
I just wanted to add, I don't mean to put down Lululemon clothing... its beautiful, great quality and I really do love it.
I just buy cheap stuff because I workout pretty much every day so I go through a ton of it in a week.
Amy,
I just cracked up when I read your post because after hearing sooo-oooo much positive comments regarding Lulemon I too, decided to check it out!! OMG, who the heck has $125 for a zip-up hoodie? If there is something I have found its that you can always find good workout gear at Costco, Tjmaxx, Overstock.com ect. Not sure you have Tjmaxx up in Canada but either way it has to be better than a $125 hoodie..

I'm a Costco gal myself. Those mugs are great.
My best running jacket is a Joe jacket from Superstore. I think it cost $16 dollars.
Those mugs are damn cute!
I love Costco clothing! I dont see the point in buying 100 pants to sweat in anyway. lol :)
Now see, I'm the opposite. I've wasted literally hundreds of dollars at Costco on gear that either A) doesn't fit B) falls apart or C) shrinks.
I keep trying and trying but I've yet to find even one piece that makes it worthwhile. Hence, I would rather just spend the $100 on one pair of pants that last me 4 years. :)
I've got TONS of Costco workout clothes and I LOVE them! I even got an awesome wicking running shirt with a high neck and thumb holes and it's awesome! It's sad how many zippies I have from there too.
LOVE IT
*jealous*
Awww, those are the cutest mugs ever! I want them! lol :)
Jersey is such a doll :)
I love lulu clothes and they sure make women look great, they hold you in all the right places, I have to diversify my comment since it's a little one sided on here:)
