You're Gonna Lose That Weight: One Week Challenge- Day Three and Shopping

The first thing that I did on Wednesday morning is cook a healthy breakfast after weighing myself (still the same today, so no new picture of the scale).

I then went for a jog and here are the stats:

5,354 aerobic steps

38 minutes

2.22 miles

I have one more jog I'm planning to do on Friday at the 28 minute mark before moving on to the real deal- 30 minutes not stop jogging. After I get used to the 30 minutes, I will work on increasing my distance.

I decided not to go into work today because of student registration. I know I might seem a little weird for this, but I like working alone in my room with no disturbances. I like to be efficient and get things done without distractions. So instead of working, I did some things around the house until the hubs got up. I then went shopping...

So I wasn't out shopping just to shop. I did have objectives. I first went to the teacher store to buy some stuff to help me out with the bulletin board I want to make. I ended up buying this:

I already had the letters, border, and smiley faces. I bought the peace signs/flowers you see in the plastic as well as a set of black music symbols. I already have purple tie dye fabric that I'm going to use as the background.

I then went to the Shoe Carnival in my next two biggest towns and couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm picky when it comes to shoes for work. Last year I got a pair of black and brown Sketchers mary jane style shape-ups. Those two pairs of shoes were pretty much all I would wear to work (and sometimes on the weekends too). They are well-loved and it shows.

The old shape-ups are being phased out for a new style that still promotes good posture and possible "toning." I finally went to the mall and the Sketchers store and found some possibilities. I have to talk it over with the hubs since they are $60 a pair. I know some people probably wouldn't think it is a lot for a pair of shoes, but I do since we are living off of just my teaching income right now.

I walked through JCP to get into the mall, so I checked out some clearance racks. I found jewelry for $1 a piece, so I got just about everything that I could find for $1. I like most of it, but it could also be used as gifts. Love a great deal!

While I was out shopping, the hubs called to ask a) where I was at and b) when would I get home. He didn't tell me, but I guess he was cooking out for dinner. It was raining, so I really wasn't expecting that! We had BBQ grilled chicken, potatoes and onions, and grilled asparagus. I don't like asparagus, so I had baby carrots with my meal.
