After a leisurely breakfast, I went for a jog around the trail in our neighborhood and made it the furthest yet..about 1.65 miles! It was really hot and muggy and I think I could have done more, but it felt great to do even that much since I have never gotten that far before!
Next it was time to shower and the grand event of the day: a one-hour massage to celebrate the first 10 lb. loss! I had been counting down the hours and let me tell you...it was heaven on earth! I've had a fair share of massages in my day and I was a little nervous about trying someone new, but I really think this was the best of the best to date. For one hour, only the sounds of soothing music filled my ears. I snuggled down into the most comfortable, heated massage table I have ever been on, with the softest sheets, ever. The room was dark with no windows and no natural light and I had to force myself not to fall asleep. My mind turned to mush and I stayed in a dream-like state while the awesome masseuse massaged my back, legs, arms, feet, hands, and my personal favorite: the head and neck/shoulder area. When she told me she was finished, I almost said out loud, "No." For future reference, they do offer an 85-minute massage...
I went home all loosey-goosey and when I got there, Scott wanted to go to a movie. Wow, I am on a roll today...sleep, workout, massage, AND a movie?! Sweet!
At first, I was less than thrilled that he wanted to go see the new movie Star Trek (no, neither of us are Trekkies nor do we even like sci-fi). But I gave in, because, hey, we are both so busy these days that I just wanted to be with my man at the movies..no matter what movie. And it turned out to actually be pretty darned good (not to mention that we snuck in Freebirds!).
And last but definitely not least, I even got around to editing the pictures from Landon's 1st birthday party. My sister and her husband did a great job planning the party and it was so much fun!
Landon all smiles waiting for his party to begin..

Love your shirt Landon! Happy birthday my love!
Too cute! Hudson's Aunt Paula calls him her little monkey. So we have lots of monkey stuff.
ReplyDeleteMassages are my favorite. I think I will make the same deal with myself. For every 10 lbs. I can get a massage. Keep up the good work on the running. You are inspiring me to work harder and now I'm craving Freebirds. :)
Good job, Laura! The pictures are precious - it was a very fun day!!! So happy you got to get your massage - I may have to make myself the same deal...it seems to be working!!
