It's mid January, and I've got the winter blahs. Exercise is a good mood stabilizer. I'm trying really hard to do some kind of exercise consistently. I want to be healthier, and feel better. If weight loss is a side effect of that, that's even better!
Yesterday I splurged and got myself a pair of running shoes. I have NEVER had a real pair of running/walking shoes. I always by the fake/cheap shoes from Payless. The local sporting goods store was having their clearance sale, so I thought I could justify it. I was able to get a pair that was normally $50, for $20! I thought that was a great deal. (actual shoes not shown)
Last week I got a flier in the mail for one of the car dealerships. It had a scratch and win to entice people to come in. I won an MP3 player. Sure, it's an i-pod shuffle knock off, but it was FREE. And the guy was nice and gave us 2! I loaded it up with some music, put on head phones, and my new shoes and got my body moving while the kids watched the Disney channel. I feel so invigorated! My sister is a fitness fanatic and has started a fitness blog with some great tips. Check it out and stay motivated.

WOW, new shoes and 2 new MP3 players. It is meant to be.
Finatic is not the word I would use to describe my fitness level :)If only I wouldn't eat in licorice and cookies what I burn off exercising!
Good job, Carrie! You will love having decent shoes. Now I want to pictures of you with your jump rope. Way to go.
I really can spell :)
WINNER!!!!! Good for you... I think I won a pie a couple of years ago (whoop-dee-doo). I buy my running shoes at COSTCO ($15).
Yea!!! You are going to catch the running bug and won't be able to quit! It makes the winter easier and you just feel better! Keep up the good work!!!
