Ode to my Tennies!

Never thought I'd be sentimental about a silly pair of sneakers. These "old girls" carried me through my weight loss journey. I wore them at 323 pounds all the way to 153 pounds. I love them so much, but they are so old and worn. The insides are worn out and are now giving me blisters when I run. I kept putting off getting new shoes cause I've kind-of become attached to these warriors. I love you shoes! You carried me through. But it is time to move on..... I'll never forget the journey you took with me!

Here are my new girls. I LOVE them. I almost feel like I'm "cheating" when wearing them, but they feel sooo good! I don't know if it's just mental, but I was never able to run more than a 1 1/2 miles without taking a breather. The first day I wore the new ones running, I went more than 3 miles without stopping! Cheers to new shoes! ;)
