Blood, Sweat and Tears....

Ok first with the blood, ewwww... my feet were hurting really bad when I put on my lil shoes to go for my walk today, but I did it any way. About a 1/2 mile into my walk I began to bleed but youd be proud I didnt miss a beat and I kept right on truckin', all of my steps aerobic :) Yeah!!!!

I know what your thinking "How dumb is she to wear such impractical shoes to work out?" Im not dumb, no really I swear Im not... I just dont have anything else other than heels. And by heels I dont even mean normal heels, mine are all 3 and a 1/4 or higher. This brings me to this pair, and my conundrum. I have no idea what kind of shoes to buy. Dear God did that sentence actually leave my lips? I have never been at a loss for shoes, but folks, I am now!

So I am begging for help from you seasoned work out people. I am seeking your shoe guidance so my poor feet aren't bleeding every time I go walking. I want something supportive, something cute? and something that isn't a car payment. Any ideas?

 Here are my aerobic steps for today on my walk ... yes, I work up a stinking sweat out there being this fat! *You may have noticed in my foot picture, I am prolly the only woman in America that wears fabulous dresses while working out... :))))))) Another oddity about me, I dont own pants, I will never own pants... didn't when I was thin and certainly not when Im fat. This should get interesting when I start my running program... :)


And here were the tears... I went further than I did yesterday! I walked right on past my turn point, foot bleeding and all, and did a smidgen more. When I came back to my driveway and looked up at the huge hill my house sits atop I felt like Rocky pushing hard to get up the last little bit. When I was at the top I felt great... like I had achieved, I dunno, but I achieved.

    Ouch! Yes ma'am you need some better shoes. I am partial to Nike because they seem to fit my feet better (WIDE) but I have been known to buy whatever is on sale. Whatever you get, they probably won't look cute with a skirt, but who cares when you're working out right? I have seen some running skirts advertised on another blog, btw...when you get to that point.

    Running skirts??? Do tell Sharon! I didnt think they had such a thing! I am very strict about the pants thing and I pictured myself running in the dresses I have now and wow would that be a sight!!!

    My feet are a normal shoe... a medium width, huge feet though... a size 10 when Im fat and a 9 when Im not.

    A battle wound...how cool is that.

    I would recommend a pair of cross trainers. I think the pair i have was like $30 regular price. I got them at the outlet store for less. The bigger the brand name, the more you are going to spend. So I went with Reebok instead of Nike. You want them to be comfortable and provide plenty of ankle support.

    Ty Sharon :) I went and checked it out... they are sooo cute! Kind of allows for some privacy to my jiggling joggin thighs... but I'm too fat for all their sizes now... Ill get there!

    Thanks again for the link, I am def going for the pink plaid and the purple plaid ... kinda look like school girl skirts, but for exercise!

    Dang girl, I give you major props for continuing with the walk. How's your foot now?

    As far as shoes... I love love LOVE Asics. I might be bias but I've always have and always will use them.

    Any walking shoe should be good enough but if you start running, see if you can look up a specialist who can do all kinds of test to see what shoe would fit you the best. Most running stores have a specialist and most are free for customers.

    Thanks Annie :) My foot stings and hurts ... Im going to stay in and do step aerobics for an hour tomorrow cuz I don't have to wear shoes! I have to admit I'm a wee addicted to my walking and I am so disappointed in my stupid feet!

    So we have one Nike, one Reebok and one Asics...

    I cant start running yet, I think Im just too darned fat, but I have set a goal for when I will begin my couch to 5k.

    Think I will have to go and try on each pair... this means a trip to the big city!
