"One of my New Year's wishes was to shed some of the weight I had gained during my pregnancy with Little Monster, and so in my attempt to do so, I felt it was harder to hide late night snacking and lack of motivation if I put myself on the line and in the spotlight. Every Friday, I will be sharing my weight loss journey (including my successes and failures), as well as delicious recipes, meal ideas, and exercise suggestions. Join me if you accept the challenge to lose weight and gain a healthier life! (Don't forget to grab my button in the sidebar)"
Several weeks ago i purchased the new nike+ shoes for my marine and i. i knew we were going to be doing a lot of walking on our vacation, but i also knew i needed a good pair of supportive shoes for exercising. i'm not going to lie to you guys, i have not been exercising, but i did do a lot of walking like i had anticipated. and surprisingly, my feet didn't really hurt at the end of the day. i firmly believe these shoes had a lot to do with that.

i have been moving around quite a bit, but i have decided to postpone any real exercise until the kids get back to school. it has really been difficult for me to squeeze anything in.
- i can't go for a jog because i have baby E and i don't have a jogging stroller
- my kids think that the wii fit workouts i do are games and any time i try to fit in a workout i hear "i got next game!" so my form of exercise is simply doing my everyday chores and spending less time sitting around.
back to the shoes...
i got the shoes, both pairs, at kohl's on sale for $75 each. i had really been wanting a pair of these shoes and these particular styles were on sale, so i got them.
when i got the shoes home, i immediately thew them on, and pushed the nike+ app. button on my ipod touch to get started. it stated i had to start moving for it to sync up to my shoes, so i started walking as fast a i could around my house. I walked for 10 minutes and...nothing!
i pushed a few buttons on my ipod, then pushed a few more, walked a bit more...nothing!
then i decided to go online and google it (i google everything...everything! the first time i ever used a lawn mower i had to google how to get the dang thing started. i know, silly me! i promise you, i have a brain!)

luckily, my friend jennifer had just won the nike+ sensor and she was so kind to give it to me since she doesn't own a pair of nike+ shoes.
stay tuned, next week i will tell you all about how the nike+ works and how much i love it.
