I have been out of shape since 2000. That is NINE long years – the first four years I was lucky enough to not feel any effects, at that time, I was still trying to lose weight and be healthy (and I lost 60 pounds back in 2003) but it all came sliding downhill after I got married and had baby # 2.

Now, after more than a year of staying at home, my health is at its worst. My stress levels are always high (because I get to be referree to my kids while I try to work) and my physical activity has been negative! At least when I was working I walked around Makati a lot.

An online friend recently turned out and became conscious of her health – it really is inspiring. She started running at their office’s gym twice a week two months ago and would you believe completed her first marathon last weekend? She even bought special athletic shoes for that. I am so proud of her and I am even inspired to try working out again.

I would need special shoes though because I am flat-footed. There is a type of Adidas shoes that is for flat-footed people – the Adidas Supernova Sequence. I might need to look for  discount athletic shoes first though, as I am sure I need to stick to a certain budget.

Anyone care to buy me one?
