Shape-ups or Ship out!

Now that the wake and Funeral are over, it's time to get back into the workout swing.

Being as i was also not feeling well prior to this happening my body has morphed back into sloppiness. I also haven't been eating very well either so i'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I'm up to 104lbs (i know shoosh, this is heavy for me).

At the beginning of the week my co-worker/Matron-of-Honor told me about a new sneaker that Skechers has put out called Shape-ups. A close friend of hers purchased a pair and loves them. That prompted my co-worker to buy a pair. She brought them in this morning for me to try on and wow! not only are they comfy, but they certainly exercise different leg muscles in the small walk that i did around our department.

So i went on-line and bought a pair! lol. $118.50 (with shipping). This will definitely be an added feature in my workout arsenal! I am so excited and cannot WAIT to get them. Now i can walk my dog and get really good exercise as well. This will also maybe prompt me to get my Mom out of the house to walk with me with the other dog. This will benefit all 4 individuals involved. The dogs will get good exercise and some quality time, and mom will benefit from fresh air and exercise to keep her mind off of the loss of her true love.

I can't see how this has anything negative associated with it! lol.

Once they come in i will update you on my new purchase.

In the meantime, however, i will start easy and do some Yoga tonight. This will help stretch my muscles back into workout shape and also give me a good stress relief. It is very much needed in this trying time.
