Technically week 2 ended 2 days ago, but I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to post.

I’ve laced up my Skechers each day, but after a few days, I felt nothing “different.”

So, I decided to up the ante a bit and began lacing them up each night to walk TWO miles.

At first, I could feel the slight burn.  But, then.  Nothing.

I actually wanted and hoped for soreness…proof that my body was DOING something.

A little bummed, I called a friend of mine (who happens to own her own pair of Skechers shape ups).  Her advice?  Take a break from my Shape-Ups and go back to my regular athletic shoes for a few days.

So, currently I’m on my “break” – I’m still planning to walk, but with regular athletic shoes.  –And, on my first walk with regular shoes, I noticed something that never happened before…my ankles and my knees hurt.  Granted, it could’ve been something weird going on with my body OR it could be that the Skechers were easier on those parts of my body.  I’m not sure yet, but I’ll weigh in after I walk a little more in my “old shoes.”

I’m really excited to see what happens!

ONE THING I HAVE NOTICED is that these shoes are not only more comfortable to walk in, but they are also great for my circulation.  My legs used to itch like crazy when I walked very far or long and the Skechers Shape-Ups keep that from happening.

Welcome back!
