I treated myself to a manicure this weekend with shellac polish hoping that it will help my nails grow. My DD works at a day spa and I get 40% services and products (you can't beat that!) so that's where I went. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Love it. I'm going to try to treat myself to a manicure every two weeks as my non-food reward for staying on track. I've also come to realize that it is necessary for me to treat myself to things once in a while to help me feel good about myself. For instance, if I buy myself a new purse or shirt, it will make me feel better about my appearance and then I'll feel good and want to continue to stay on track so I will lose more weight and start looking better. It's a win-win situation. Before I would always spend money on the house because it was easier for me to fix the house up rather than try to buy clothes for my fat body so that's what I would always do. My house is fine now. I need to start spending the money on me. I've finally realized that I'm worth it.
Did anyone watch the Biggest Loser last night? I did and I forced myself to do kettlebell exercises through all the commercials of the first hour. (Sunny, I thought of you - remember when we used to do this every week?) That show is so inspiring to me. Dolvett is so hot - omg... Also, the latest issue of People magazine is loaded with weight loss inspiration stories.
I made this Harvest Slaw recipe yesterday that I found in Better homes and Gardens. I left out the garlic and cilantro, I thought that was a little too weird. It was tasty, light and refreshing. I would make this again. I brought some for my lunch today.
That's it for today. Let's make it another great week!
