I have an exercising walking disc so I can "walk" in the family room with the DVD. I've been walking on "the floor" at work after the production employees leave for the day. I've walked around the block (2.6 miles) in the neighborhood. I wanted to increase this to twice around the block today, but it's been a cold, windy, and rainy day. Walking is the best exercise for me. Any other exercise seems to exacerbate by hernia. My sneakers are terrible. I mean absolutely, positively, 5-year-old horrible. I've been looking at Skecher Shape-Ups for a couple of weeks. I haven't bought them because they (for me) are cost-prohibitive. I'm the kind of person that buys whatever is on sale regardless of the comfort level. Recently I realized that this is not such a good idea for a true walking shoe. A lady at work (a walking buddy) bought a pair of Shape-Ups and brought them into work on Wednesday. She said that they are really comfortable, but they "feel weird" at first. When Todd and I went to Dr. #2's office on Thursday, two of the nurses were wearing them. Todd and I drilled them on their opinions. Both were positive... extremely positive.
This afternoon I went to Kohl's. The shoes were on sale. I had a 15% off coupon. I also had a $10 off coupon. This brought the shoes down $25. I bought them. I met a friend tonight for dinner and I took Cameron and his buddy with me. I wore my new Skechers. I giggled when I walked. Cameron told me to "stop giggling and bouncing" because "it's embarassing." I can't help it. They are THAT COMFORTABLE. I told him that it's like walking on pillows. I feel bouncy. No wait. It's like Tigger from Winnie-the-Pooh. That's what it's like. I feel like Tigger when I'm wearing them.
