Mama's got a brand new ...Shoe? I am sure you've realized from my constant whining about my state of health 9 months ago... pre-band? It was bad... and I am realizing each day just how bad it was... Anyway, I had settled on a life of slip-on shoes... even my sneakers were slip on... Hiding the painful truth that I couldn't put on my own shoes... or socks. Thank God for my sweet understanding George... and for the fact that he never had to wipe my ass. I was afraid that i would end up there... Don't go there! Takes on new meaning, doesn't it? I am thrilled to the point of breaking into a skip and singing What a wonderful world daily these days... so something must be done to prepare my feet for that lifestyle! Well, these are my first pair of Lace them uppers... Serious Kicks for a serious walker. I am my own ass wiper! You hear me world! I'm putting on my shoes and socks one foot at a time... I am ABLED! Well, I have been realizing the need for "Real" sneakers for a while, ever since one of my Dr. Scholl's slip on sneakers... went flying across the gym when a recumbent bike got a little ahead of me. Along with the fact that my routine flip flop life is coming to a close come April when I move home to Philly. I love my Fit flops... And Skeptic as i may be, they do work out your calves, thighs, and buttocks! I have a firmer fanny due to my new fit floppin' lifestyle... so since our Florida days have been less sunny more chilly these days. I got some New Balance Rock n Tones... They aren't the new fancy True balances but thanx to the Outlets... last year's model was less than 1/2 the heavy price tag... and 25% extra percent off... My critique Is that they do ROCK! and TONE! These shoes are made for walking... and that's just what they do... one of these days these shoes are gonna walk all over you! Or over to you at least!

This is truly exciting! I keep talking about getting some of the toning shoe, and I live the florida flip flop life as well, so I would start with the flops as well. Hmm maybe for my birthday in feb...so glad things are so good for u
ReplyDeleteGood for you, although I could go some of that "cooler" Florida weather right now. I bet its better than the minus 5 degrees we have here.
ReplyDeleteIts so nice to look back and realise how far you have come. Well done and enjoy the walking x
That is awesome! I lived in Florida for 2 years and then Guam for 2, I had flip flops in about every color imaginable. Then I moved to Utah and had to buy regular shoes, it's a good thing I like them so much! My hubby has a pair of Sketchers Shape Ups and he really likes them. I've been wanting to try some out, maybe now is the time!
ReplyDeletecute post, and cute sneaks! wear them with pride!
ReplyDeleteI like them, glad that they work for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a child, fanny means somewhere different in the UK, took me a while to work it out and I'm still giggling!
That's so funny - I was out looking yesterday and today for a pr of New Balance sneakers but so far no luck - . New Balance sneakers are great for support and comfort!
ReplyDeleteMaria, I can tell how happy and filled with joy you are! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you! You've made such a difference in your life. (And secretly, I had the same ass-wiping fears.)
ReplyDeleteYeah...You have come so far...thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria! It's been a while since I commented (but I have been reading faithfully!), sorry about that! Those sneaks look great.
ReplyDeleteWhen you move back to Philly it would be fun to do a big NYC/Philly brunch or lunch deal or some sort!!
A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just wanted to say Keep up the great work! I enjoy reading your blog. I am waiting for my approval, and can't wait to be on the losing side!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new shoes!!! That is an awesome NSV girlfriend!!

It's funny to see you posting about shoes because I'm getting ready to do a post to ask about opinions of running shoes. Running shoes? Really? Me? Yep. Congrats on the shoes and never needing anybody to wipe your ass. :)
