Updates

Well I had a big surprise this morning.  I got up early to get ready to go to the Apple Festival in our town and after I took a shower and dried my hair I decided to just step on the scale to see how I was doing, even though I just weighed yesterday.  To my surprise I had dropped 2 lbs since yesterday, from 237 lbs to 235 lbs.  I think changing up my food alittle has really shocked my body into letting go of the weight.  I'm just hoping that by my official weigh in day, which is Tuesday, that my weight is still down because if it is I will have dropped 2.4 lbs this week.  Woooooohooooooooo.



I need suggestions.  Last week I came up with a challenge for myself, to walk 160 miles by New Years.  Well I'm doing really good, I've already walked 12 miles of that in the last week and a half.  As a reward for accomplishing my challenge I was going to buy a pair of Skecher Shape Ups.  Well after I went to the Apple Festival I went shopping with my mom and guess what, I bought my Shape Ups.  I just couldn't resist so now I have to come up with a new reward.  Any suggestions?  I'm thinking maybe a new piece of photography equipment but I would appreciate any ideas you have.  I will eliminate a few things, I don't get manicures, pedicures or massages so those things are out.  I feel kind of guilty about getting the Shape Ups when I was suppose to have completed my challenge first but I just couldn't resist the price and they are so cute.  I walked in them tonight and its definitely going to take some getting use to.  When I first put them on I felt like I was off balance because the bottoms aren't firm they are like a cushion which I guess is whats suppose to make them work your legs and butt out.  I could feel a difference walking in them, especially going up hills.  Lets hope they help firm up my legs and they make my butt firm enough to bounce a quarter off of....lol. 
Here is the pair I got I just love pink.



Well I guess thats all for tonight.  I hope everyone is eating right and working out hard we are all going to ring in the New Year alot healthier and this will be one year where we don't have to make a weight loss resolution because we have already started our journeys.  Good luck to all of you and have a great night.

  4. Exciting news, both about the weight and your new walking shoes. Don't know about the reward. Maybe wait till you get closer to goal and decide then. You can also make a wishlist and add to it when you think of something, then when you reach a goal pick one thing from the list that you desire most or that you can afford at that time.

  5. Floriana I like the idea of making out a wishlist and then I can set all kinds of goals for myself and reward myself with things off my wishlist as I accomplish my goals. Thanks for the idea.

  6. Today I was with a pair of shape ups just like them in my hands... but 100 euros is just to much for me -_-'

  7. How much is 100 euros in american dollars? I got mine for $56.00 because they were on sale for $79.00 and then I had a 30% off coupon for the store I bought then at, I just couldn't turn them down for that price and I love them. They make you walk more flat footed where I always walked kind of on the outside of my feet. They also make you stand up straighter and they make you a little taller because of how thick the soles are. Also they definitely making walking more of a workout especially on hills.
