Since I met my last mini-goal, I indulged in my reward of a pedicure.  It was wonderful.  I sat back and relaxed. A rare treat in my life.

My mother-in-law went with me, as my father-in-law and sister-in-law watched the kiddos.  The salon we went to was in a nearby town.  The town was once all farmland, now it has turned into yuppyville on the outskirts of Boise.  I guess I can’t talk it down too much, after all it is where my in-laws live.

It is not very often that I get out and pamper myself.  I know there are some people out there that are good about making time to give themselves a little bit of a boost.  Something I should do more often.  Even if it is soaking and painting my own toes at home.

I had to chuckle and raise my eyebrows when I overheard this woman come in.  She was loud and made sure every one knew about her chipped toe nail.  She had a design painted on her large toe nail and when she noticed her chipped toe nail, she made a special trip just to get the toe nail trimmed and the design fixed.  She was a little over the top, but offered me entertainment as I sat and observed her bizarre behavior.  Alas, I was in yuppy-ville.

Exercise:
Still 100% with exercise. Whew!!

Over the weekend I purchased Jillian’s 30 Day Shred.  Yes, I am joining the bandwagon.  I have seen so many out there giving this a try with great success.  I could use mixing up my routine a bit.  The workouts are only 20 minutes, so I most likely will still be going to the gym to meet my goal of working out 45-60 min. 5 days a week.  I am not sure if I will be doing it early before the kids are out of bed, or in the evening.  Somehow??? I don’t know how I am going to work it in. This morning the kids were up for the day at 6am.  I am not a morning person, and I am not getting up earlier than that!  I hope to get a schedule worked out and do this for 30 days straight (minus Sunday, I don’t work out on Sundays. So we will see how it goes 34 days from now.  Wish me luck! I am a bit scared to face Jillian on a daily basis!
