Shoe Chat, 3 Miles, Back/Biceps, New Camera and Fun Night!

Have you guys seen this commercial?


I am interested as I am:

A. In need of new shoes.
B. A walker and the commercial specifically mentions walking.
C. An owner of a kinda lumpy bum.
D. A total sucker for sh*t like this.

So what do you guys think? Think it's a total sham? Have a better recommendation on the shoe front for a girl who walks an average of 80 miles a month on a treadmill on the outside of her feet and does strength training?

I read some reviews.... it seems mixed??

I saw a cute video review that basically boiled down to:
Pros: comfy; they might actually work; great if you don't care what other people think because...
Cons: $110; ugly... shiny silver bullets. hehe

So I don't know! Knowing me i'll go out and buy the EXACT same pair I have now (but with new tread on the outside thankyouverymuch).

How often do you replace your shoes?
What's your current shoe - do you love it?!

Right now I have the Nike Women's Pegasus. I bought them for $90... they're on sale for $50!!

Perhaps I'll just get two more pairs of these little friends and save cash instead of the Reebok?!

Moving on for a quick recap! Yesterday I:
  • Woke up feeling wonderful at 8 a.m.
  • Hung out with Austin/blogged/had cheerios
  • Had a chips/salsa/FF sour cream snack
  • Headed to the gym - walked 2 miles + ran 1 mile + back + biceps
  • Showered and went out for a baby shower gift, birthday gift, get well gift and a new camera!!!
  • Had some of the tea Em got me - thanks again, sweet girl!
  • Headed to Buckhead for a birthday party - good to see Andrew/Laura Anne/Monica/Andy/etc.!!
  • Headed to Stacy and Shane's house (with Reuben in tow) for a night out in Smyrna/Vinings. We had such a blast! And it was GREAT to see all of the awesome work they had done on their house. WOW. I'm so motivated to do more on ours now - she has awesome taste and ideas!!
  • Ended up at 2,388 calories, 41 fat grams, 237 carbs and 93 protein grams. Here's what I ate. (drank too much.... :( Also had late night pizza - put it on Sunday's day).
And here's the new camera!!



I love it! It's a very simple, easy-to-use Kodak EasyShare with 10 megapixels! It came down to this one and a Sony Cybershot, but the Sony had bells and whistles I simply wouldn't use (i.e. comprehensive video capabilities) - so this one won! It seemed as though it was only available online, but they had it at Radio Shack but only in red. I ran with it - it matches my washer/dryer - I heart red gadgets!! I've only used it a few times but I love it!!

Today we woke up, left Stacy/Shane's (spent the night with them!), raced home, ate breakfast, showered and headed up to Cumming for Austin's cousin Katie's baby shower! It was nice to visit with her and all of the family (grandparents/aunts/uncles you name it!). Austin's parents also drove over from Alabama and came by the house to visit, see some of the new stuff and to bring us some shelving units for the garage- sweet! I've been slowcooking spaghetti all day too - exciting!! Hope it turns out. I haven't updated spark people but it's going to be very high with the pizza + shower food factored in... we shall see!

I hope you all had wonderful weekends! I really enjoyed mine!!
