Week Two Weigh-In...

OUTSIDE...BRR!!

very, very encouraged!  i logged a -1.8 lb loss for this week (*jumping w/glee*).  that also brings me to my 5 lb 'milestone'.  now, only 55 more to go!  i need to figure out how to get that little weight ticker to show up on this spot...the font is black and it needs to be white!  i want to see that frog hop on down the ticker :)  guess i will change my template...

so it is pretty yucky outside today (see pic)...a few inches of new snow, some sleet on top of it.  i decided i would earn an activity point by digging my car out to go to Starbucks  then hit up EMS for some new cushy, warm socks.  well, my fiance then decided to get me an early Xmas gift and so i also got a couple new pairs of trail shoes (on sale-even better!).  oh, i do love trail shoes.  some women have shoe addictions.  i am NOT one of them.  but i LOVE trail shoes...they can be hiking shoes, trail running shoes...no matter.  i LOVE my new ones so much i'm including their pic.  not even my fiance has been included (well, OK, i don't think he wants to be publicized just yet...).   

it is truly my intention to use these shoes for good.  there was a time when i lived in Colorado, not so long ago, that i loved hiking.  i also went cross-country skiing and snowshoeing a handful of times a year.  when i was running consistently i would go to some trails in the foothills and run which is just so much more interesting than just pounding the pavement.  there really is little reason why i can't find places here to do the same stuff.  so, my dear shoes, you WILL be used for something other than casual day-to-day wear.  i promise!!
