Lifestyle changes are like new shoes : I love shoes. Anyone who knows me also knows this little tidbit about me. Even as I type this column, I am wearing a new pair. There isn’t a shoe store in the world I could go into and resist buying a pair — or three. Just ask my husband. I am sure he would tell you about the time I took my Girl Scout troop to sell cookies at Shoe Carnival. They spent the two hours ardently selling box after box to customers while I perused the store for a new pair of heels. I came home with three pairs, and none of them were for anyone else. There are countless other stories of my shoe hijinks, too. It doesn’t matter what type of shoe I buy, I love all varieties just the same. The peep-toe heels, Adidas athletic shoes, loafers and my own personal favorite — sandals. So, being a shoe-lover, shoes are never far from my mind. In fact, the other day, I was speaking with two DeKalb County women who have started the first Northeast Indiana Fitclub, when co-founder Melissa Smith joked that the so-called “fit-shoes,” the ones that supposedly slim a person down just by walking in them, are not the ideal shoes to wear while working out. I joked that I can usually be found wearing heels, also not an ideal pair of shoes to exercise in.
