What a weekend!
This weekend's been pretty amazing and luxurious. Okay, it just took me four attempts to type luxurious, maybe I should give up on this blog post right now.
No, here we go. The weekend started with CrossTraining on Friday afternoon. This is not the luxurious part. I was terrified! I'd heard so much about how tough it is. And it was! There were five stations - I had expected that we keep switching stations lots and lots of times, but we only went to each station once. Spent about four minutes on each, doing two sets of two exercises. The worst one was standing on our hands with our legs up the wall! I thought the instructor was kidding at first. People were like, uhuhuhuh, laughing nervously! I managed to do it, somehow. But I couldn't stay up for the full 45 seconds. Crazy stuff! In retrospect, I think it would have been beneficial to do a cardio class before the CrossTraining, believe it or not. I just felt that my heart rate didn't really go up until about halfway through. My body also felt cold and unprepared for the millions of burpees that were at the end of the class, as a "bonus because we have extra time", quote the instructor. Or maybe it was just because it was my first time, and it's hard to give 100% when you're not familiar with the class.
Saturday: Laundry. BodyPump. Facial. Shopping. Girls night. Yeah, this is the luxury part. The facial was AMAZING. The spa itself was so great that I have already booked a massage there, but it's not until the end of March. I figure I can treat myself then. The therapist was very likeable, I don't know what it was about her, we just clicked somehow, even though we didn't talk that much. But she got me talking about my skin and other things in a very natural and relaxed way, she's probably very good at her job. Have booked with her again. Even the coffee I had in the waiting room was absolutely delicious. This place is not kidding around. Facebook likes all around.
After the facial, I was really only going to try to get a new top or something for the girls night out, but I ended up on a big ol' shopping spree. It's strange how you always find a thousand things you love when you're not really looking. When you ARE trying to find certain garments and really need to buy something, you never find anything. I got two shirts which work both as party and work clothes, pants, boots, socks, wool undershirt, two stringy tops. I wore the new shirt in the evening and got lots of compliments. We had a great time, but the place we went out to only played these French 60s songs - like constantly. I think they were trying to be extra hip and weird. I really wanted to dance though, so I did.
Chatted with Morten on WhatsApp while waiting for the night bus - the night bus not showing up on time when it's a thousand degrees below zero in the middle of the night, is bullshit. But Morten kept me company, which was lovely. He had just woken up as it was already morning in Brunei, where he's been on a mini vacation for the past few days. He got his diving certificate, which is a big deal to him! I don't like diving at all, I must admit it makes me very claustrophobic. It's a bummer I can't share that with him, and I do worry about him when he goes diving - but he should do what he enjoys and have fun. He sent me a pic from the boat, and he was so cute I could just die. I want to skype, but it's already 9.30pm there, he probably has to study and/or go to bed soon.
On the way home I bought a big ham and cheese baguette and a Coke Zero and ended up having a midnight snack/breakfast at 3am. Awesome breakfast! I believe it helped me avoid a hangover, although I did feel like hell when I woke up at some point to go to the bathroom. Then, a few hours later, I woke up again and had a long phone chat with my friend who threw the girls night party last night. Lying in bed, talking on the phone after a night out can be pretty awesome in itself. Watched Adventure Time and got freaked out by the Tree Trunks episode. Yeah, I love Adventure Time too. Only season one is on Netflix, what's the deal with that? In true me style, I am on about my third watching cycle in just a few months.
Since I missed my regular Sunday classes today, I am going to SatsEnergy later today. I might be going at it too hard, I'm not sure. I just know I love it. I feel good. Right now I am watching Parks (shock!) and laughing so much my stomach is hurting. I love, love, love that episode with the Snake Juice, it's just packed with highlights. I think Andy throwing up as he begins to run down the hall is one of the greatest TV moments of all time. I seem to go for puking on TV. I also love the cold open on The Office where everybody throws up. Hahahahahahahahaha.
Next workout: SatsEnergy today at 5pm
Current weight: 58.3 kg (noooes! It was 57.6 only a couple of days ago, why didn't I post then to show off?)
Watching: P&R and Adventure Time
Last iTunes purchase: Terrorvision - Tequila (because of...you know...tequila)
