I need a massage, and so do you.

            If you have never had a massage you need to go get one. I’m not kidding. I use them as a reward for all of my hard work in the gym. I had one yesterday and it was fan-freakin-tastic! I go once a month and I’m telling you it is worth every penny. Everyone deserves to be pampered. I can’t always go clothes shopping, so I get massages and pedicures, but I’m only going to tell you about amazing massages.

            A friend of mine owns her own company so I go to her. She was doing my massages before I started the meal plan and working out, so she’s seen my progress every month over the past year or so. One of my favorite things about massages these days is that my massage lady notices a difference every month. So, not only is she working out all the muscle knots I can accumulate in one month, but she also notices and tells me how my body and muscles are changing. It’s really a self esteem booster!

            I even notice how much progress I’ve made when I get massages. I know I complain that my chest is not shrinking as fast as I want, but I know that it has. When I first started getting massages I couldn’t put my face in that little donut looking thing. You know; the one you put your face in when you’re laying on your belly? I could not get my face all the way down into that thing. My chest and stomach were too big and I would have to ask for a pillow to put my head on. About 2 months ago I realized that my face fit perfectly onto that little donut thing. I didn’t have to strain my neck and head at all. My massage lady noticed it too. It was a pretty awesome feeling.

            Ok, but really, getting massages is awesome. They are so relaxing and everyone deserves 1 hour to completely relax and get pampered. It’s really my selfish time to myself every month and everyone deserves some selfish, personal time. If you haven’t had a full body massage, go freakin’ get one!
