Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

[MissJellyBelly]

WoW.....really HUH...custom tailored SHOES....you guys are REALLY starting to motivate me to get a PAIR.......!!!! I think I want BRIGHT YELLOW or BRIGHT ORANGE!!! LOL.....LETs make me stand out....I ALWAYS wanted a PAIR of waffle shoes!!! THEY are sooo light and since I have a FLAT foot.....CUSTOM shoes sound GREAT~! I wonder if they are thatttt much more EXPENSIVE than Regular waffles?

LOL. I don't actually have them make me a shoe. I just go in and have them run all the tests on my feet and step pattern. You walk on a treadmill to see if your feet pronate, stand on a heat mat to see where your arches are, and a few other things. Then the sales rep goes to the back and brings out shoes designed to fit your foot type. I tried on several pairs and then the one that fit like a glove came to me. Simple white shoe with blue trim, but feels like I am walking on pillows!!

That's an incredible story Alta! So glad you're OK now.

What's this about tailored shoes? Never heard of it..clue me in!

THANK you soooo MUCH!!! I'm GLAD I'm better NOW too!!

AND I know...CUSTOM tailored RUNNING shoes....who KNEW right?!!! WELL....I don't know much about em....but MISS HUMPS and MISS JELLY B.....had a PAIR and MAKE em sound WONDERFUL.....I just wonder where I can go DOWN here to get em?......I have some GOOGLING to do!!!

It's a line that was started by make up artist Francois Nars (my boss lol) He sold off most the company to Shiseido a few yrs back but remains in creative control. It's an edgy fashion associated line the comparison I could draw would be to MAC. I love our make up but for skincare I'm beyond loyal to shiseido.

I hear ya. When you find a product that just works, loyalty comes easy. That is why I keep on wearing my MK. I started young, so it has really helped. Most people think I look way younger than I am. Proof is in the pudding, you know?

Ah that it is. I've had a terrible make up obsession from a really young age. I think I was the only kid in 5th grade who was using an eyelash curler lol This makes me want to take a trip to Sephora....

LOL! Girl you are too funny!! I love Oil of Olay!! Love it. Once I took their vitamins and my face was just glowing!! Good stuff.

All I have to say is start early, just use something that protects your skin. There are a lot of good products available in todays market. I don't know how old you are, but wrinkles normally take on average 10 years to form. So the earlier you start, the better. Keep the sun off of your face as much as possible. I know that is hard to do, but sun will age you and give you spots and wrinkles. You look like you have more melatonin in your skin, which will protect you more than my fair skin will. You have a natural advantage!!

Geez, I don't log on for a couple of days and your diary is FULL of all sorts of stuff from tears to laughs!
Congrats, on the cancer thing... I went through all the same stuff about a year ago... good to know you're healthy now!

Also, back to the shakes... can I add that stuff to a WHEY shake or does it have to be SOY? And do you do it once a day all the time or just for a few days or...?

That's an incredible story Alta! So glad you're OK now.

What's this about tailored shoes? Never heard of it..clue me in!

Here is the info from my "shoe clinic" I went to. So basically they don't physically whip up a shoe after taking a mold of your feet per say. LOL If you go to a specialized running store that does custom fitting this is what happens. I'll use my running store as an example. They have you run on a treadmill in your current shoes and video tape your feet. Then they play it back in slow motion and watch how your feet move. If they rotate inward or outward this is called pronation. But not to worry...cuz good running shoes are specifically designed to correct the pronation in your feet. A good shoes salesmen will find the right design of shoe to correct your runner's gait.

In addition my shoe store has you take off your shoes and step on to a square pad thingy that has heat sensors in it that show the outline of your foot and how high your arches are. This is also factored in to putting you into the right shoe.

So there are a ton of shoes specially made to fix problems with your running gate and you'll need a specialist's help to determine what the right shoe is. If you are fitted for the wrong shoe you could develop shin splints, stress fractures, knee, hip, and lower back pain....all from having the wrong shoes on!!

Ok, there is my tidbit for the day

[Alta818]

OKAY my TEAMIES....sooooo sorry I HAVEN"T been on in a FEW....had a LOT of things GOING on...but I plan to catch UP...this WEEK and STAY on!!!

I'll KEEP you guys POSTED more tomorrow!!!

 

[Alta818]

SOLID TRUTH IS I"VE BEEN CHEATING and CHEATING and CHEATING some more....I WORKED out....and then these DAMN LAKERS, going OUT, and DRINKING has REALLLLLLY TAKEN a TOLL on me and I"VE been EMBARRASSED and ANNOYED at myself......and I DIDN'T post cause I DIDN"T want to record these CRAPPY days of no exercise, too much activities, and REPEAT sessions of ALCOHOL!!!

WHyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! SO since you all HAVE motivated me with VEGAS....it's on BABY!!! I GUESSSSSS I HAVE to weigh in......I'm JUST SOOOOO SCARRED cause I FEEL 10lbs....HEAVIER.....which my eyes USUALLY don't lie!!! BUT I guess the fact that I know not where my weight stands is HOLDING me BACK too cause if you don't know where you are ...then how can you keep moving away from that!!!!

SO tomorrow ....I PLAN to be ON IT and WEIGH in!!! LETS SMASH these POUNDS and for the EFFECTS of the SCALE on my MOTIVATION....though I am not sure yet whether it really was a whole 10lbs gain....I AM TAKING the LIBERTY of assuming so.........so when I TELL YOU all TOMORROW the real weight.........lets JUST SAY I TOLD YOU SO!!! I think I am around 166/167...HOPE NOT!!! KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!!

 

[RadiantPebble]

I highly doubt you've put that much back on. I could be wrong, but you would have had to work really hard to put that on over a few days. You may be a couple pounds up, but remember that regular fluctuation happens too.
