Inspired by the shame of having to order an enormously large sized dress for my friend's wedding, I have decided to become a runner in order to lose the baby (and ice cream!) weight. Join me in my journey as I strive to have the type of thighs that will fit into an outrageously priced pair of jeans.

Not So EasyTone

For my birthday, I requested a pair of Reebok EasyTone sneakers.  I find them to be much more pleasing on the eye than the geriatric looking Sketchers Shape-ups (sorry to those of you who own a pair!)

If I had known then that I was about to embark on a quest to become a runner, I most likely would have asked for the RunTones; but alas, I must make do. So I strapped them on and set out for Day 2 of running.  Reebok claims that the shoes will make you feel as though you are running on sand, but when you are as out of shape as I am, it's more like running through a swamp.  I'm pretty sure my calves were about to boycott the entire workout. 

By the eighth repetition of running/walking, I looked like a dying antelope and was about to run out of motivation.  So I pose this question to you:  What makes you keep going when you feel like giving up?
