INDULGENCE PLUS!!!
Well I am back from my holiday and it was just so great. I took my daughter to the bus for her ski trip at 3am then packed and went to work for a few hours. A short plane trip and a drive to my friends house and the fun began. We had so much fun catching up an dwent out for a lovely fried dinner at Hogs Breath Cafe. Th enext morning I bounded out of bed and took myself of for a wlak. It was fun to walk in a different area and look at different houses and gardens. You peopel who live in Qld are so lucky you don't have to contend with the freezing colds that we Melbournians have. We went driving through the mountains and found a wonderful cottage for lunch. I felt really guilty leaving my friend because we could have talked for days. She worked for me for15 years and was by my side through many hard times and it was wonderful to see her again. Then I took myself off to meet my blogger friend Kellee. Kellee and her mum and son met me for coffee, thanks Kelle I owe you one. We spent a couple of hours talking and could easily have spent more time together. It was really relaxing and they were so easy to talk to. I think Kellee is a wonderful person with a great sense of humour. She loves being a mum, something I feel too so we were a bit like kindred spirits, the young and the old version of course. And she has lost so much weight and looks so good. I felt a bit ashamed of myself for having a week off. I then drove up north to find my resort hotel. Now the next 3 days were unbelievable. I have never in 23 years had time where the only person I had to consider was myself. Of course I rang and talked to my kids each day but apart from that my time was all mine. I slept when I wanted, ate when I wanted, walked when I wanted. I visited some craft markets and drove around the hills looking at scenery, slept a lot, read 2 novels, walked a lot. It was bliss. I had 2 spa treatments and felt very indulged. Now they were an experience. I booked myself in for a package that included a sugar scrub and a mud wrap. I think I shocked the skinny little therapist when she saw I was a bit larger than normal. You should hav eseen my face when she told me to wear thi stiny little disposabl eG string!!!I was embarassed too but let myself just enjoy it all. I thought, well I will never see her again so just let it hang out and relaxed. It was incredible. The next day I had a massage with a more normal sized masseuse and that was also wonderful. Of course I overate but I knew I would. I am not going near those scales this week and will just be happy as long as I get back on track and as others have said back to basics. I will definitely be doing something like this again in the future. I did a lot of thinking and it was OK to be me! Something I never used to feel.
I missed everyones blog but will be catching up over the next few days. Have a good weekend everyone.
