HBBC Week 4 + Aspaeris Shorts

Tis the season for merriment…for fun with friends….for eating joyful things…

When I posted on Facebook that this amazing Ghirardelli sundae was my dinner, I was totally serious. I had eaten 9 serving of fruits and veggies, run my 7 miles and this is what I wanted…so I enjoyed every delicious bite and didn’t feel even an ounce of guilt.  A few years ago, I might have eaten it but then berated myself for days afterwards.  The difference now is a mental shift that I have learned from so many of you…perfection isn’t the goal…making continual forward progress in my goals and enjoying life to the full THAT is the goal.

ASPAERIS SHORTS GIVEAWAY

Kari was kind enough to bring these shorts to Philly for us to try out. I have now worn mine so much that I ripped a hole in the seem...hey they are TINY and so it takes a little work to pull them on...but mmm mmm good!!

We created Aspaeris™ to help protect female athletes from injury and enhance their performance with advanced compression apparel. As a female-centric company, we believe that the performance demands female athletes make on their bodies are unique. Our goal is to develop a deep understanding of those demands and create products that specifically elevate performance and protect her from non-impact injuries.

You know I am a fan of compression gear, but truly these have made my hips feel so good! I am excited to give you a chance to win a pair!  You will notice when you get these that they look like they could fit a barbie, but I promise once you pull them on it will be worth all the wiggling it takes!!! They are soft to the touch compared to a lof the other brands I have tried that have a rough texture.
