ShoesDay #7

Hello friends!! Hope everyone is well. Guess what!?! It's June 29th. Let's do some countdowns:

1. One day until Adam and Johnna's birthday.
2. Nine days until a vacation
3. Thirty days until I move back to school.
4. Forty-seven days until school starts.

Crazy! I think now that I am soo busy, the summer is zooming on by. I don't mind how fast everyday is going because I really haven't had time to think about it. However, I finally have gotten adjusted to being home and then I will have to turn right back around and go to school. It's just too much of a rollercoaster of emotions for me!

I feel like I begin every post now by saying how super busy I am, but I really have. This was the first weekday morning in a few weeks that I didn't wake up to an alarm because I had nothing going on this morning. It nice to sleep in some.

Shoes #8
Everyone, I would like to introduce you to my Easy Spirit tennis shoes!!

You probably are thinking I get all the boys when I wear them. FALSE. I don't. I am not particularly crazy about these shoes because of how "chunky" they are, but they are supposed to be good for my feet (read ShoesDay #5).

The only time I really wear them is when I exercise. This past year I began to visit the gym more than every couple of weeks. Why? I think I began to feel the positive effects of exercising and was enjoying them. Mind you, I don't go to the gym every day because of my scheduling not allowing it. I am sure I could work it into my schedule more than I do, but sometimes I would rather lay around the house than work out. I also work out more when I am stressed. I have learned how to letting go of my stress when I work out. Putting in my head phones and running around Charleston always makes a difference, when I get done. Exercising is just a way for me to breathe and to get refocused.

I do have work out buddies sometimes. At school I have gone with a couple of friends to the gym, Zumba classes or just worked out in the dorm room. My friend at home goes with me to the 24 hour gym at night. He protects me. I protect him. ;)

Things I have learned from exercising:

1. 
   
   It is EXTREMELY challenging to get up and work out in the early morning.
2. 
   
   I like to JOG and WALK. Running is not programmed in my system.
3. 
   
   I like taking dancing classes. Only taken Zumba, but would love to take Salsa, Swing, etc. (Any takers?!?! ;)  )
4. 
   
   I am intimidated to use the weights when there are guys around.
5. 
   
   It's really hard to look cute working out. Who honestly can make sweating profusely look good?
6. 
   
   When I make the time for exercising, it's worth it.

Well, thanks for keeping up with my ShoesDay. There is still a few more weeks to come of stories about my shoes. Have a great week. Love you guys!!
