ok i know with the holidays coming up that this may be the worst goal but i need to do this already. i have 16 days to get there. i want to loose 10 lbs or 1 dress size.
1. i really have to stop cheating on my diet. i just get scared if i start doing well and not eating the wrong things because i feel like i need my crutch still. ever since i’ve been working out i haven’t been as bad as i used to be though.
2. i’ll exercise at least 2 hours a day. that breaks down to 1 hr w the trainer and 1 hr at the gym or 2hrs at the gym.
3. i’ll make the most of my workouts- on the treadmill i’ll spend at least 1hr on a 10 incline at 3 mph.
now to get going..

for almost 2 weeks i’ve been going to the trainer with the exception of last weekend-fri through sun. unfortunately i didn’t stick to my 30min on the off days.
now i’m planing on doing 2 workouts a day thanks to my new gym membership. after a month of exercising without skipping a day i can finally cross this off as accomplished.

after several months of eyeballing i finally decided to try the ‘luxury’ salon in the mall. Luxury is in the actual title and any passerby would think so because of the big flat screens, the massage chairs and gold flecked bowls at the pedicure stations, and the whole place looks just frou frou in general. this is just another example of how- you can’t judge a book by its cover. a mani-pedi here is $15 more than the other places i’ve checked out and i was about to head over to the cheaper salon downstairs, but i decided to give this one that’s tempted me for so long a shot. unfortunately the place was a major let down. the employees were SO NOISY laughing and screaming and joking around. it was such a contrast to what i expected and what they portrayed to anyone walking by. the manager was the loudest of them all. it was so over the top. the pedicure wasn’t very thorough and the polish from the manicure started peeling as soon as i got home. thank goodness i got clear polish. i suspect the girl that worked on me was rushing so she could join in the fun of the other employees. i love a happy work environment too but take care of your customers and don’t let it get out of hand. if the service was exceptional, in spite of the ruckus, i would go back but they failed in service AND ambience.
oh well… on to the next one.
