Weekly Update....

209.2 lbs this morning!

For family night, we decided to go buy ourselves some new gym shoes; it has been 1 or 2 years, since we have bought any! I had someone recommend Striders in Layton to me. We decided that since I have such feet issues, this would be a good place to start. They do an analysis of your feet-how you walk, size, and balance, etc. Then, they go over it with you and explain what type of shoe would be best for you. Once they do that, they bring you out quite a few pairs of shoes to try. They recommended that I either wear stabilizer or neutralizer. I ended up getting the stabilizer style shoe because it would work better with my arch supports.  I have to admit there was a bright blue pair (teal-ish) that would have been hilarious, but it just didn't work out. Trav and I decided that even though the shoes were a little more money than we had estimated spending, with my special feet and ankle issues the extra money would be  a good investment and SO worth it. We also got some socks that are supposed to help with absorbing/controlling moisture which should help prevent blisters. So, anyone that knows me, knows that I really am not into pink (and not at all purple), but the shoes I found and loved the way they fit were these! Too funny!


Trav got his pair at Kohl's. They were on sale and he got to use a 10% off coupon.
