Downsizing into Fall

Labor day is a day recognizing the hard work of American laborers, of all different trades. I always thought of it as a day of rest, often a sign that summer is coming to a near end. Today has been anything but rest for this lady.   

After "playing" lazy the last 2 days and starting this blog, it was time to MOVE.  Not move in the sense of leaving the place I call home but actually pry myself off the couch and away from the Lifetime network. 

I'm desperately trying to get myself back into my workout routine, and like any habit ... it takes a while to get there.  I decided it had been a couple of days since I moved so my first stop was the park for a brisk walk.  Have you ever been to George George Park on the eastside? It's an awesome park with a paved walk. 

I say brisk walk because when one says, "I went for a walk", I think others must think, "that's lame".  I'd totally be up for a nice jog but seeing as I nearly had a heart attack after running 25 yards, it's safe to say I should stick to something more moderate.  So here I am, downsizing into Fall. 

This time of year also means, Back to School. Even at 35 (though I only look 25, right) and gainfully employed, I still get excited and anxious as if I'm approaching the first day. So with all this excitement I also did some shopping, you have to buy new clothes when you go back to school ... it's become abundantly clear to me that I also have a shoe fetish. Not shocking for a women, this I know but it's not just any shoe fetish. I have an obsession with tennishoes. I have more tennishoes than any other kind, with the exception of flip flops. Is this normal?  These are my newest walking/ Zumba buddies ...

I love these little puppies, so much that I have a pair in grey/ green.  See what I mean, obsessed. Hmmm, I wonder what specials are going on over at footlocker.com , ciao ...
