Day 352 (day 2 / week 50)

Today was a long day.

I woke up early and hit the treadmill for 20 minutes (I think--I can't believe I forgot how long!) @ 3.6 mph. Then I walked around with the fam.

I read somewhere recently that food wasn't a good reward system when it comes to exercise (it leads to unhealthy stuff) and that's what I have been doing. We had brunch at my hubby's Gram and Papa's house, and then we hit a few dealerships. Yes, I said dealerships. Reward... dealership... reward... see where I'm going here? I bought a new car today. My (old) car is fine, but my son is growing out of the backseat. The kid can literally kick me in the head, sitting in the middle of the back seat if he wanted to. Every once in a while he would put his foot on my shoulder. He wouldn't even fit behind either of the seats, so in the middle he stayed.

So anyway, I decided that I wouldn't mind trading in my car (2007 Toyota Corolla S), if my payments were the same or lower (they are like $20/month lower). I really like the new 2010 Scion XB RS in purple (which is what started it all), but the only dealership in town that has one (just one and no one else) wouldn't make a good deal w/ us. They didn't really want to sell it I guess--horrible horrible deal (my credit is good too), so I ended up buying a new 2008 silver Scion XB--I jumped on the XB bandwagon (my hubby and his father both have one).

Anyway this was my reward for sticking to my resolution all year. There is no change for us financially as I was able to put my car payment for the month down as a down payment, and the payments are a little less. I'm happy, my hubby is happy and so is the Monkey Boy. I'm mostly happy because I just really traded it in evenly (financially) and don't have any extra expenses. *whew.*

I walked a total of 3.45 miles (7292 steps) including my 20ish minutes on the treadmill this morning.

I'm tired and have to go to work in the morning. I'll post a picture of it soon.

Take care everyone!

I can do this. I am a star.
