I'm back from my blissful week at Champneys health spa!!
So, my weekend of celebrating my qualification did naturally result in a bit of a gain, but I've shifted most of that now with a week of healthy eating and exercise. The spa was fabulous and I managed a good balance between pampering and working out. On top of all the massages, facials and other pampering treats, I also had reflexology (OK, but all incorrect diagnoses!), saw the nutritionist (more on that in a bit) and had colour therapy (interesting and fun, although not really that enlightening!).
So, the nutritionist was naturally a little unimpressed with the Slim Fast route to weight loss, although did concede that it was better healthwise that I'd lost all the weight, even if she couldn't agree 100% with the food choices I'd made. Anyway, she's given me a written report with lots of suggestions on what to eat instead of the Slim Fast meal replacements, so that's what I'm doing now. Basically, it's all about eating wholesome, natural food, incorporating plenty of fruit and ensuring I get a balance of protein, carbs and vegetable matter at each meal. It's quite exciting and strangely liberating not to be counting calories anymore!
I did loads of different classes during the week, including Aqua Fit, Hula Hooping and Spinning. I'm inspired to keep up going out to classes at least a couple of times a week, because it is more fun having other people around!
I hope everyone is doing OK. I'll try to catch up with all my buddies soon! xx
