Walking in my Shoes

Prep work is going really well and we expect to have the first chefs and their sous chefs tomorrow afternoon... cross my fingers! This means that we have to be fully prepared to receive them and be the best help they can get at getting all their food ready for Friday's event.


These days my sneakers are my best friends and definitely the best way to keep me up and running {literally!!!} with everything that needs to get done... then it got me thinking that the back and forth between the cold and hot kitchens is helping me get my daily work out.

I love walking especially because it is good for my knees {they really appreciate it}. Also, if you walk at a good fast pace you can enjoy your environment and relax at the same time while you burn the calories. Since I'm in full walking mode this week I looked for these articles and wanted to share them with you:

    I don't walk -- if only because it's FREEZING out all the time these days! But I do love the elliptical so I'm with you on sneakers being my besties these days!

    I am all about healthy habits and comfort - a busy day can always benefit from flats and sneakers -no doubt!

    Good luck with everything!

    Photography has that same good effect on me too, it helps me get out and about and walking more often for pictures :) And forget it, during sessions, I'm all over the place and it's a great workout!

    What a busy week-glad it's going well! I am a sucker for a good walk, and it's so much less miserable than running!

    I'm not a big walker because I get too antsy (weird, I know!) but I did try out a Jillian Michaels workout dvd for the first time this week. It's pretty damn hard!! But, fun too!

    Good luck girl! Can't wait to read about it.
    just began to run as often as I can here in London. It is so refreshing. But the sneakers don't have a long life in this weather...rain and mud! But the river is gorgeous:) Enjoy!!

    Wow. Thank you for the info. I'm always willing to walk and I was thinking about those easy-tones sneakers. They seem to help, I guess.

    I love walking. I'm one of those people who park farther away from say the supermarket so i have to walk a bit to get inside. Great links too! XX

    My job requires me to be on my feet for long hours - I can definitely use some quality walking shoes! :)

    I'm very much about walking. People sometimes think I'm nuts because I'd rather walk 40 mins to my destination rather than take the subway, but sometimes it's more stressful to drive or be stuck in public transport. Hope your event on Friday goes well!

    Oh thank you for this! My schedule has been too eratic to make it to any yoga classes and walking is how I always stayed slim--must get back to it and I'm going to check out your links for a little additional inspiration. Good luck with your event--it sounds like it's been a lot of work but definitely worth it!

    I love walking too! It's my favorite way of getting around. It's been getting a little warmer here so I can walk anywhere I need to get to.

    How do you like those shoes? I've heard they are good for runners too. A nice walk sounds like a perfect way to get back into the swing after being sick.
