Manic Monday

Crocs

Hello Family and Friends!

This morning I woke up with the song Manic Monday by the Bangles in my head. Precisely the lyrics, "I wish it was Sunday Cause that's my fun day". I think that is because I wanted another relaxation day. In any event, my Monday was good. :)

Here is the breakdown for MONDAY :) , June 16, 2008:
  1. Physical Health - I did 30 minutes of walking today. I also went walking at lunch with Misfit. We also enjoyed leftover BBQ from my Fathers Day BBQ. It was nice and healthful.
  2. Mental Health - Okay, I am reading for the second time, "You on a Diet" by Dr. Oz. I will probably not read the whole thing again, but I will get at least my 30 minutes of beneficial reading from it today.
  3. Emotional Health -I had two good meals today. Lunch was nice. For dinner, I ate with my lovely Mom. Very nice day, definitely not a Manic Monday! I also have US Weekly to read. My favorite guilty pleasure! :)
You might be wondering why I have a pair of Crocs as my pic of the day. That is because I actually bought a pair! I did not buy the clogs. I got a flat pair as pictured (except the color I bought is Teal). I think they are rather cute with pants. My friend Ice Cream recently bought a pair and let me try them on. It was like floating on air. She got me to try them on by saying they are better than flip flops. I live in flips flops when I am not at work. I even wear them to and from work every day and bring my heels with me. Lately my ankle that I have sprained sometimes feels strained. I think living in flip flops might be why. As comfortable as flip flops are, they offer no support. Now don't get my wrong, I will not be giving up my flip flops. I will just be wearing my "cute" crocs as an alternate from time to time. They offer support and flexibility. I invite you to try on a pair next time you are in Macy*s or Whole Foods. Walk in them for one aisle. Just check them out - I eventually gave them a chance after years of making fun of them. :)

Here is some information about the benefits:

Malindi Crocs Shoes (style that I bought), I especially like descriptions 1 and 4. I can attest to those. Also, I was not sure what Croslite was - I copied that for our knowledge as well. Who knew all this about Crocs?

  • Stylish, fun flat that allows feet to breath in warm weather
  • Slim fitting, feminine design provides the ultimate comfy Croslite shoe for women
  • Footbed conforms to foot creating a custom fit
  • Circulation nubs stimulate blood flow


  • all crocs™ brand shoes feature crocs'™ proprietary closed-cell resin, croslite™, which represents a substantial innovation in footwear. the croslite™ material enables us to produce soft, comfortable, lightweight, superior-gripping, non-marking and odor resistant shoes. these unique elements make crocs™ footwear ideal for casual wear, as well as for professional and recreational uses.


    Bye for now!

    Love,

    Lulu

    P.S. Please do not buy me "Crocs Charms". LOL.

    Hello da best sis!

    Actually, those crocs are cute -- and I have heard they are super comfortable (don't go buying me any as a gift, though). :0)

    Are you keeping the pink pair?

    I think that reading YOU ON A DIET is a great idea because that diet works incredibly well -- if you can just add on some of his ideas (a little at a time, if need be), then you start to lose weight. Plus, his (or their) explanations about what happens to your body when you are overweight (or when you eat bad food) is really clear.

    Anyway, can't say it enough, I love the blog and I love your writing. You are great at this!

    Love you SOOO much. You are doing amazing.

    Love you,
    Eva

    Ahh man, I have the cutest croc charms that Ellysse picked out. I guess no stocking stuffers this year ;)

    They are super comfortable. I have a pair I use when I go to the theme parks in Orlando!


    Keep up the good work missy.
    Yesterday's lunch & walk was nice.
