Out with the Old, in with the New (Balance)

My New Balance sneakers have treated me well.
I've been wearing these since just before the wedding. I guess somewhere between wearing them AT my wedding, on my entire honeymoon, through many home improvement projects and selling our house, moving, trapsing through the red dirt in Utah, daily wear and workouts.... well... they've had it!!

OLD New Balance meet... NEW New Balance.

I can't believe they used to look sooooo white and clean and new! Yes I got the exact same pair because with my orthotics and my wide feet, this is pretty much THE pair of sneakers for me right now. Wish I had more choices but sadly, I do not.

I will keep the old pair around as work shoes, so I hope they can get along :)

Just for fun and nostalgia, here I am wearing them at my wedding, when they WERE all shiny and new:

Loving the Gym

FINALLY got to go back to my new gym today. I had Stacey in town and then this week was crazy catching up and I've felt SO EXHAUSTED. Finally getting back to my old self now. Anyway today I went to the gym and had a great workout. I DIDN'T EVEN USE MY IPOD! The music and music videos there are pretty entertaining on their own. I am really enjoying doing stretching and hand weights after my cardio. It feels soooo good. My goal for this week is to go M-W-F and then we'll see if I can do more next week.

I just looked over my goals and I feel great because everything is ON TRACK! After a pretty blah week last week where I didn't feel very accomplished, it is good to be feeling much better now :)

Dr Kate really helped encourage me when I was feeling down last week and she got me totally back on the wagon. She is pretty amazing!
