Spa Splurge!

Today I treated myself to a spa day. I figure that the money I am not spending every month on restaurants should be relocated to improving me, and since I am not ready to buy clothes yet (only 40 lbs. lost), I hit on the spa idea. I had a manicure,pedicure, massage,and facial package. WOW! If I had known about this I would have quit eating sooner! I have been working out every day, and the muscles are sore, but in a good way. I think I have lost another size because my clothes are falling off again, but I will wait to try on clothes until the end of April. I am taking a trip then, and I'll probably need them. In the meantime, I am wearing all of my old out-of-date clothes Today I ate protein only!!!!! Really!!! Fish, pork, and eggs only!! I also drank water all day. You know, they are right. More water helps. My esthetician said my skin was dehydrated. Pedicurist said the same. DUH! I am taking my vitamins, calcium, iron, like a good girl. P.S. I started Tai Chi classes today!

Hi Lou Ann, I had discovered the spa while in college. I just love it! I haven't been to one in over a year. Lowes is my new spa.... All my money goes there! You know, you can always have spa night! I try to do that once every few weeks. I pick a treatment: mud, salt scrub, lotion, etc. and ask my BF to do the treatment. Congrats on the 40 lbs. I'm there with you. I have moved 2 pants sizes! Take care, Jen

If I ask my husband to do the treatment I would get a weird look and a "No, Thanks". He just isn't interested. I can't even get a foot massage from him. but he is an excellent daddy and pampers me in other ways, so I will let the spa pamper the rest of me. BTW, my 5 year old son does my foot massage every night. He even rubs my tummy when it hurts! I am training him right, and his future lover will thank me someday. He knows how to clean a toilet, put away clothes, and put down the lid.
