January magazine season is almost upon us.
It is the worst magazine season if you are a “Self” or “In Shape” reader.
Because January is when they feature their most infuriating articles, the ones
designed to get you excited about the gym.
It’s almost as bad as this new trainer I
foolishly hired recently: Peppy Trainer Guy. Peppy Trainer Guy led me through
a whole series of very painful exercises. When I finally voiced my concern –
and pain level – he grinned zealously and said,”I know. Ah-may-zing, right?”
No, Peppy Trainer Guy. Not Ah-may-zing.
Just Pah-ain-ful.
This pain is what led to my latest shoe
purchase: the animal print slip on. I like it because it’s cheetah print, which
reads like a neutral yet jazzes up any outfit.
I like it even more because it’s a slip on,
which means you don’t have to bend over to pull it on. This is a major plus if
Peppy Trainer Guy has made you do so many planks and lunges that your abs and
glutes sear with pain any time you even think of moving, much less bending over
to put on your shoes.
Next week Peppy Trainer Guy thinks he’s
showing me a “15 Minute Speed Shred” routine. But the only thing I’m going to
be shredding is his business card. Because life’s too short to be in this much
pain.
May January bring you a better attitude
about fitness goals than guru girl (and lots of new shoes!)(Click this link to go to target.com where you can get these shoes for around $25.) They also have them in a quilted, black leather (so sporty!)
And Steve Madden is making a really cute pair in plaid. Love! (Click this link to see the plaid shoes, available for around $23.)
