New things!

Avon Walk Training Day 3

I like to shop. Is that a suprise? Probably not. I decided that I am going to treat myself to a few new things (healthly things!) to help me train for the Avon Walk -- and to pump up my excitement. I am already excited, don't get me wrong, but I can just image about Mid-March I will not be jumping for joy! We all have those moments, and I am being proactive now.

I know I probably should not be spending money. I get it. I work for a non-profit (which I adore), I pay way too much money for my apartment that is smaller than my cubicle, and I eat out way too much...so you might ask where this money is going to come from to buy these new "healthy things".

So here goes. I have an addiction. I am trying to work through it. I find myself dreaming of this all day long. I only have to walk 7 blocks to get some. I have done these twice in one day before. And I do as much as I can in one sitting. What is this weird addiction you might ask...

CHIPOTLE. Ah I love this place! I pretty much

each there once a week. I order the exact same thing every time. I am getting hungry for it right now. I can pretty much taste the corn salsa. Yum. Though I have come to learn a few things..

1. Althought Chipotle is great fresh ingredients, the burritos tend to be a ridiculous amounts of calories --(Like 2,000!!!)

2. I normally spend $8-$9 a visit...--that adds up!

3. I have a hard time NOT eating the entire thing in one sitting -- ugh. gross. (And yes, I ate that entire thing above!)

So this is my new goal. For everytime I do not eat carnitas tacos (yum) Out of 4 (my monthly average!) ...I will put $8 a side to put towards a new pair of athletic shoes. I need a good pair if I am going to walk 40 miles, right? I think this will be a good investment -- but I have to set goals for myself.

I even picked out the ones I want! So pretty!

Oh and here is the new pedometer that I bought on Amazon. I hope it comes soon. I can't wait to see how much walking I do.

I am going to do some major walking this weeknd...4 day long weekend! Walking from Rosslyn to the Inauguration should be a joy! Have any tips for me?!?! Would love all the support I can get :-)
