Fit Flops: Day four

I googled Fit Flops the other day (after I had already received them of course) to see what came up. So naturally, I was able to find a bunch of articles and comments about how they are a fraud and don't really work. One of the articles that I thought was particularly stupid was by a fitness expert explaining how you could not expect a pair of flip flops to replace your regular workout routine. Honestly, the type of person who cannot figure that info out on their own is not the type of person who is going to take the time to research the product they are about to buy!

I'm sure that they don't work for everyone and that they are not the miracle that they are marketed to be. However, much like every other form of personal fitness, different people are going to get different results. Which brings me to the reason for this post. I am proud to say that I awoke this morning to sore inner thighs....which means that they are working for me!!!! I should also say that this is the one area of my legs that seem to be resistant to any form of exercise- the other parts have a fairly decent amount of muscle. So my guess is that if you are already in shape and are just "fat", these are not for you. Again, not really a great revelation.

The weekly update

I am going to try to update more often this year. I stopped mostly because I now see most of my "readers" on an almost daily basis. But I have decided to post again because every now and then I hear a comment about how I have not updated in months. So here is the summary of the week's events:

* I am detirmined to prevent my body from going to pot. In that vain I have been looking in to starting a daily Pilates habbit. I have a DVD that has five ten minute sections. Last week I did it one day. So my goal is going to be to do it two days. I also bought ( at a greatly reduced price) a pair of FitFlops. I could "feel the burn" the first day I wore them,but haven't noticed any soreness since. So we will see......

Divine 2009

2008 that is a notable blessing)
* I now have a pretty Laptop!
* I was the recipient of a Stephanie Original Birthday Cake
* presents and drawings from Leanna
*Timmy, Justin, and Jacob hugs
*Sinful excursions to Michael's, AC Moore, and Starbucks
