Exercise: - What: mall walk with family
- Time: 1 hour
Weather was icky and Mike needed new shoes so we went out to mall and did a couple of laps. I always enjoy going to the mall on a week night, no crowds, Iz likes looking around, very mellow. Weekends aren't very nice.
I went and got a haircut but she didn't change much. I asked for bangs and she got right to the point of cutting the bangs and said "I don't think you should get bangs." Well, that was enough convincing for me. I basically have my same hairdo with a few long layers around my face. I didn't like how she styled it, I will see how it turns out in the morning.
Cat - you hit the nail on the head. I am so inspired by fitness journals (for instance,
Brave Athena is one I can't miss these days) and not by weight loss journals. i want to be someone who measures my progress in minutes walked or speed, not lbs lost. Working on making myself into one of those people...
In other news, I bought 3 new exercise shorts/capris on line based on recommendations from the Brave Athena site. I will let you know how they work out. I have also tried all the exercise socks I bought. I find I like the wigwam walking socks the best. They were also the cheapest at 4.95 a pair. They were made of technical fabric and were just basic, cushiony socks. The other two pairs I tried were more for runners and they had vents in the top of the socks. Maybe runners need these vents (?) but I found that I got a "hot spot" at the vent location after walking for 45 mintues in them.
Question to think about based on a conversation I had with my mom - How has your view of overweight people changed from your (style conscience?) teenage years till now? How has your view of your body changed in that time frame?
