new kicks, new challenge

Last Saturday i finally went and got some new sneakers. Mine were overly worn/old and it was past time. I have to plug our local Inside Track store as they were, as always, amazing. I've been buying sneakers there off and on for 20 years and their staff is so knowledgeable and helpful. I am absolutely adoring my New Balance. I have worn Asics for many years but between my foot issues, orthotics, and Asics changing manufacturers about 2 years ago, they just do not work for me currently.  I get super excited to put my new kicks on to walk and they are so comfy. I am hoping they will continue to be motivation to keep moving!

Our wellness challenge ended last week and I was down a solid 8+lbs and am quite excited about it. I am continuing to weigh myself and watch what i eat as i want do be down another 5 by the end of February. Our weather has been horrible and made it difficult to get in a second walk after work for a while, but i have currently completed 37/1017 km's for the You vs. the Year challenge.

I did have a pinterest fail the other night. i tried making cheesy cauliflower "bread sticks". I knew they wouldn't be exactly the same as actual break sticks.....but no matter how long i baked them they didn't seem done and the texture was weird and so was the flavor. i was assured that enough ranch made them edible, but i am not going to make those ever again. You win some, you lose some. 

This weekend i plan to figure out some meals to make for next week and do a big grocery shopping trip, armed with my coupons!
