3/6/10- I haven’t blogged much in the past two weeks because life has been super crazy. Between work, boot camp, and other meetings related to deserves changes, I have been leaving my home each morning at 4:45am and not getting home until after 8pm each evening. Last weekend I met with Camala for life coaching and then spent the night on my sister’s couch to come back to the Changes Salon & Day Spa on Saturday morning for the beginning of my makeover. The morning was super relaxing but I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. On Friday night, Camala and I were discussing previous relationships that I had been hurt by and how to move on from those. Well, on Saturday morning at the salon, I ran into the sister of an old boyfriend who had hurt me very badly. The reason that this was so ironic is that I had not seen this sister in almost 10 years! It was a very signifigant reminder to help me move on.
I was able to get my hair colored as well as a facial and manicure. Changes Salon & Day spa is so relaxing. The first thing when I went in was a steam room. Between each appointment, I was able to relax in their “relaxation
room” which as a full wall made of water. It is, quite possibly, my favorite place there.
After the salon day I went to a bridal shower for a good friend and had an amazing time. On Sunday, I began the demolition of my bathroom. As I mentioned before, I am a severe DIY’er. We ripped out the old counter. It did a number on my manicure but luckily I had touch up paint.
This past week has, again, been insanely busy. One high point related to changes was that I was contacted by Louis and Carla who run the Hikari
Dojo. I am really looking forward to learning martial arts but they are located in Martinez and I just could not figure out how I would find any more hours in the day to fit anything else in. Luckily, Louis was very understanding and I will train with them in the summer when I have more free time to focus on that.
I weighed myself this evening and I lost 4 pounds in the past week. This was great considering the week prior I had only lost .2 pounds. But now I am at a total of 14 pounds. I am going shopping for clothing for my “after picture” soon but I am hoping that I can get just one outfit as I am still loosing weight and it would be a shame to buy an outfit only to have it too big a month later. But I am still plugging away (have not missed a day of boot camp since I started Feb 1st) and I am off to bed because that is pretty much what I have time to do when I am home… smile
