Challenge weigh in...and my weekend

So I sucked farts the first week of the B2B challenge.  I gained 1.3 lbs.  It's all good though.  I can't lose without exercising.  I will honestly tell you I only exercised 1 time this week.  Yup...just once.  As you know from previous posts I've been in a funk all week.  Well that funk said screw exercise.

It's all good though.  I am feeling better and making decisions that will benefit my family in the long run.  I am in a good place.  I hope to stay there all week.  The only problem with that...I have to go to work tomorrow.  They usually infiltrate my happy  place in 3.2 seconds.  It totally sucks.

Tomorrow Brandi and I are starting the 5 day pouch test. We are both very excited and know it's just what we need right now.  I have made a nice little soup for lunch and possibly dinner tomorrow.  I have my protein powder ready to mix and I will be taking some to work just in case. 

This weekend  went to the spa with a couple of friends from work.  I don't usually socialize with my "work" friends outside of the job.  The reason is...we only talk about the job.  I hate that.  But we managed to take a few hours and enjoy some time at the spa.  It was relaxing.  However, it did help me realize I need to get back into the routine of "me time". 

This is the package I received at the spa:
Summer Glow Spa Package
  • Sauna with Cool Peppermint Towels
  • One Hour Swedish Massage
  • Oh-So Coconut-Vanilla Hydrating Body Wrap
  • Gingerizer Foot & Calf Scrub
  • Full Body Dry Brush Exfoliation
  • Magic Mint Scalp Treatment
  • Cool Cucumbers on the Eyes
  • Take Home Gift Bag
  • Served with Moroccan Mint Tea
It was nice.  I have an appointment for a 75 minute facial on my birthday.  I can't wait.  I might throw in another message.  I'm going on a hike on my birthday.  It should be fun.  It's a little under 5 miles.  I have not gone in sometime.  I was much heavier before and I completed it.  So this should be a breeze.  LOL

I hope everyone has a great work week.

Gotta get that "me time"! That is why I go on long walks on the weekend -- I just zone out with my headphones and walk around.

Let's both kick some challenge butt this week!

A 75 minute facial? You lucky lady! I've never even gotten a professional massage. Uber jealous.

Hope you have fun on your hike - be sure to take pictures so I can live vicariously through you!

Don't sweat that tiny gain. You know what you need to do to make it a loss next week. How's the pouch test going?
