TEEN BATA TEEN 3/3

So a few weeks ago I found out about this opportunity from Shape Magazine about a Shape/Oakley Progression in Fort Worth.

I had to follow this link and answer a few questions about myself and then keep my fingers crossed till I heard back from the peeps at Shape Magazine.Then one afternoon, I heard back from Anna Lisa at Shape Magazine. First off...what an amazing lady she is!!! Very helpful and sweet.
Finally May 24th came and I got up extra early to get ready for my fun filled day.Here I am with my little monkey as he wished me good luck right before I was leaving the house to go to the event

I picked up my friend Alicia and drove toward the Panther Island Pavilion in Fort worth where the event was held.

Finally we got there bright and early and walked toward the tents :) eeek.. I am there.

(check out the biceps ;) teeheehee)

The first familiar face I noticed was Sarah Dussault from Sarah Fit.She is such a sweetheart and even prettier in person :)

I had a nice time chatting with Sarah.She is very friendly.She was so proud of me when she heard about my weight loss.

Moments later my other friend Tamera arrived and we were all set to get this party started!

Here we are, the three musketeers as Alicia called us :)

Tamera and Alicia have been an amazing part of our lives since last couple of years.They are a huge influence in my son's life when it comes to fine arts and performing arts.They are polishing his creative side and I really wanted them to be my guests at the Oakley/Shape progression.So glad they were able to go and enjoy the day.Just my little thank you to them for all they do for us.

My wonder woman T shirt was a birthday gift from my sweet friend Cathy!!! She will love it when she will see this picture.

I wore my VSX workout pants (get yours here),I love the fact that they don't have to be tied at the waist and they don't roll down.And they are perfect for running,squats,burpees anything!!!

and my favorite Asics shoes.LOVE!!! I have some issues with my right ankle and these shoes definitely provide the cushioning my arch needs when I run on the concrete pavements and when I worked out in the grassy,unleveled field.

Then we met Cari Shoemate and Carrie Barnhart.The fabulous Bombshells of the bombshell bootcamp.

I knew Cari Shoemate from Exercise TV. She did some fantastic workout videos and blogged as well.Finally we met !!! yayyy sweet and friendly duo. If you are in the Houston area...be sure to check out their bootcamp.Amazing workouts!

Here is the "Social media" tent.Where I met Cari,Carrie,Sarah,Marni,Michelle and Lacey.

Here is Michelle Lovitt with my friend Tamera.Look at the big smiles :)

Finally we checked in and got our wristbands.We were in Team Trails.Our group leader Tabatha was friendly and very very helpful.Love that chickie!

Tabatha briefed us on our schedule for the day.

We were asked to sit and wait for a little bit, while Cari Shoemate and Carrie Barnhart got ready t~~o kick our butts~~ to start the bootcamp :)

I am a hopeless photographer, so I killed time, doing what I love the most.

Then the bombshell bootcamp started!!!

In case you are wondering, it was AWESOME!!! definitely a kick butt workout. Lots of HIIT and Tabata training. I enjoyed it and finished strong!!! 45 minutes just flew by. It was a lot of fun.

Look at me with Cari Barnhart, right after the bootcamp.

Cari and Carrie announcing about the Bombshell T shirt giveaway :)

Go to their website by clicking here, and see how you can get one of these T's for yourself.

If you want to get a taste of that bootcamp, try this workout from the Bombshell bootcamp or you can try this one :)

After the bootcamp we rested for a few minutes and then went towards the lunch area. Lunch was provided by the Good Karma Kitchen

It was fun to sit and chit chat for a while. Then we went to the Social media tent to see a presentation by a dude from Oakley who told us all the scientific aspects and technology involved in Oakley glasses. Then we met with celebrity trainers and I heard my name being called. So I went in that direction. Time for my interview!!! but first...a mug shot.

Then I was told to wait as I have 2 more ladies ahead of me to be interviewed and the next second someone else showed up next to me and said, "They are waiting for you, go ahead! It is your turn for the interview"
eh ??? ,Ok :) well hello ladies!

Interview wasn't much of an interview... I got less than 3 minutes,consisted of literally answering the questions from the online entry form I filled out a few weeks ago, anyhoo, it went well.

Then I went back to my group and we were informed that we will be heading to the yoga tent for the yoga session with Lacey Calvert. And then the rain came down!!! It was so much fun :) haha

Finally when the rain slowed down,we picked up our Oakley Yoga mats and walked towards the yoga dome. Here is Lacey!

Yoga sessions was fantastic!!!

After the Yoga session, our group leader took us to the nutrition seminar tent where Marni Sumbal was waiting for us. And then it started raining again :)

Marni talked sense about how we are consistently being told to eat clean and healthy...but where is the balance of nutrients that our muscles need when we train and workout like athletes!!! I sadly have to say, I didn't have much energy to pay 100% attention to the seminar because I had a horrible sugar headache, bah!!! I was light headed and dehydrated. Prolly because I am not a huge fan of porta potties.

Then after the seminar we gathered in front of the big tent for a group photo. What an amazing group of wonderful and strong women!!!

Then Oakley peeps announced the lucky winner who got selected to be the Oakley Ambassador in DFW for one year. Her name is Laila. She and her friends were talking to us about their Camp Gladiator throughout the day. I have to check that out.
