Weekend At the Spa

Hubby and I spent a wonderful weekend at Deerfield spa in Pa. I had a wonderful time and he had a nice time. The food was fantastic and healthy. It really surprised me that I could eat so well on so few calories. It inspired me to cook with less fat and more vegetables. The first dinner I made when we came back was chicken and mixed veggies. Each portion had about a cup of veggies and the meat from a chicken thigh. Hubby and I loved it, the boys not so much.

We each had a massage. I loved the part where she pulled on my neck as if to make me taller.

We exercised some, but didn't really take good advantage of the opportunity. We took a nice walk in a nearby park, about a mile or a little more and I swam laps in the heated outdoor pool. I loved the pool, the water was the perfect temperature, I was the only one in the pool and it felt like I was in heaven. I liked it so much I think I'll start swimming at the local indoor pool. I say that now, but body image is hard. Part of the reason I didn't do more exercises at the spa, was body image, skill----what the heck, it all goes back to I didn't do group exercises because I did not want people to see me exercise, I did not want them to see me jiggle, to see my lack of skill and grace.

Oh well, I did take a walk after dinner. I ate healthy. And I only have 21 more weeks till I retire.
