Last night I dreamed that I was riding a bicycle in a triathlon. I awoke so excited! What a breakthrough!
This means that since I’ve begun exercising in my subconscious, it’s only a matter of time before my innate desire for athletics permeates my conscience.
Things are looking up!
I’ll have to check my calves and see if they’re subconsciously tightening. While I’m talking fitness…Have you heard of the “Fit-Flop?” I hadn’t until yesterday when a woman walking her black lab stopped me and asked to see my flip-flops.
Imagine my surprise.
After all I wasn’t wearing my fancy, canary yellow flip-flops. I was wearing my generic rubber, pink Speedo flip-flops. Now these aren’t as grungy as the foam flat flip-flops (the kind that are about as thick as a slice of cheese), but they’re not in the sandal category either (not like my canary yellow flip-flops). They are, however, quite sporty and after all the exercise I’ve getting in my sleep, it was appropriate I wear them yesterday.
When somebody asks to see my shoes, of course I oblige them. I lifted up my pants leg (jeans are always too long on me and I despise hemming) and wished I didn’t have dirt between my toes already. It was still too early in the day for toe dirt.
Disappointedly this dog walker says, “Oh, they’re only Speedos.”
Suddenly I’m flashed back to middle school when I wore fake Keds…the kind you bought in the grocery store for a few bucks. Such sadness.
Anyway, she goes on to say, “I thought they were FIT-FLOPS”. Now she’s talking my language.
It seems these fit-flops provide extra exercise while performing normal activities such as walking through the grocery store. I have to own a pair! Maybe two. Why with a triathlon workout by night and fit-flops by day, I’ll be twenty pounds thinner and in a bikini before the snow flies.
I wonder if I can get a bikini this time of the year?
Have a Happy Thursday!

nope, haven’t heard of them. but would be interested in knowing more. make sure you post about them, with pictures of course =), when you get your pair(s).
Never heard of fit-flops, but I can see something like that getting pretty popular! Just the name alone is catchy.
Fit-Flops….you’ve got to be kidding………………………………………….(ppsssttt…maybe I could give you my address for that second pair. I’m sure Portugal isn’t as hip as you New Yorkers)
Toe dirt early in the day? FringeGirl, your momma reads this blog!

I had heard of them! Now if they’d just make some “fit patent leather red ballet flats” I’d be totally set
