52 things I ♥- week 6

by: Leigh

I can hear my BL challenge buddies groaning now. FFS she is on about the shoes AGAIN!

I <3 my new ugly shoes and Calais <3s them too!

So I started a biggest loser challenge over at All for Women. Joined the gym last week and was all set to go. One problem I have always had is shin splints when on the treadmill, so I was never really able to do much more than a fast walk due to the pain. I’ve always been a nike girl, just buying what ever looked pretty. So I thought I would go and get properly fitted and see if that helped.

It was a big decision to spend $180 on such ugly arse shoes, even the pink couldn’t save them. But I am soo glad I did, they have made a HUGE difference.

Way to go to the girls who have lost weight this week in our challenge! You can join in too if you like, not too late if you want some friendly help and support losing some of those extra kilos.

    I think Calais has good taste. I don’t think those shoes are ugly at all, I like them - but then, I am just a teensy bit weird:)

    Treadmills kill my shins too. I alternate between the elliptical and the recumbant bike. Much better.

    I LIKE your pink shoes, Meezer Momma! They’re pink an’ so pretty! Mom’s shoes are white an’ blue Nike Air Max Motos with the iPod thingy in the footbed. Hers aren’t nearly as pretty as yours!

    So was Calais sniffing them before or after you used them????

    I had shin splints, spent $300 on uglier shoes than that and shoe insert thingies and the pain went away. But my God it was hard for a girl with a debilitating shoe obsession to wear fugly shoes.

    You are not supposed to look good when exercising. It’s just too cruel to believe otherwise so I don’t.

    Good on you for buying decent shoes - I nearly stuffed my achilles by not doing so.
