Vibrams

I haven’t told you about my new shoes have I? They are called Vibrams. Stacey knows all about them because she has been wearing them and she really likes them. ME, I’m afraid to wear them just yet because I don’t want to hurt my feet too much. So why did I get them you may ask?? Well I thought they would work great on the beach in Mazatlan rather than my running shoes. Ever tried to get sand out of orthotics and all the mesh on a  $200 pair of shoes… I’d rather wear the vibrams.  When we go deep sea fishing, I always walk around in my bare feet because it isn’t quite as slippery but last year, I broke my baby toe on this bulk head thing (not sure if that is what it is called) that sticks out of the deck. I hit it a couple of times that day and it was a very painful experience. It stopped my first attempt at learning to run as I couldn’t put on my running shoes for about 6 weeks after.  And I also thought over time, they would be great for strengthening my feet. I ran round in bare feet as a child all the time. I could run full speed down an alley in bare feet – can’t do that anymore without killing myself. The vibrams will help protect my feet.

I have been unable to catch up on everyone’s blogs lately. Have been very busy at work and on Friday night we headed out for my SIL 40th B-Day party. Had a great time. Had too great of a time. But got to see people and family that I haven’t seen for awhile. Lots of comments on my body changes.  We ended up staying over at my sisters and basically yesterday was a total wipe. 3 hours of sleep on a lumpy couch does not do a body good. But it was safer…..

 

 

I had enough energy to clean up my yard, and that’s about it. No running for this girl and I have some big time catching up to do. I only managed to do one C25K W3 session last week so I’m going to do it again today and see how I do. Might just stick with week 3 this week then move on the following week. Not sure at the time of this writing as I still have to go downstairs and hit the treadmill. I did OK last week with exercising. Monday I finally made it to Hot Yoga,  Tues/Thursday were great with some double workouts,  Wednesday and Friday were so so…. This week I have to pick it up a notch and I know how and what to do.

Spring Challenge:

I did not drink a wheatgrass/veggie juice at all this past week. My wheatgrass did not grow right so I’m starting a new batch today. It will be ready by next Friday so I plan on getting back into it then. I will start another tray about Thursday and then won’t do another one until we get back from vacation in May. It will just die anyway. As for veggies, well I’ve got to go do some shopping today. I had carrots but that’s it. So this week will be much better.

Exercising everyday – well I did something every day – some days double so I think I am doing great there.

The point about if it isn’t nutritional – don’t put it in my mouth… well I really need to work on this one. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and I am going to be focusing again starting today. I’ve got another post coming about what I am planning.

And something I like about myself – hmm.. My eyes, they are a lovely green when all is good in my life, and can get darker if I’m not feeling well. I have very open, trusting eyes. Sometimes too trusting, but whatever :)

Steps:

Thurs: 13886, Fri: 7006, Saturday: 6036 – tomorrow I will average them all out and report the total.

I hope everyone is having a FANTATIC weekend!
