The weekend was great we had such a good time and I can not describe how good being with your closest friends is for your soul! We had an amazing lunch that my friend cooked full of yummy things and lots of calories with lots of champagne and then in the afternoon took a boat trip down the Thames with champagne and strawberries and scones. Then after, back to my friends house for coffee and champagne then out for dinner. At dinner we had ...guess what...champagne and a lovely dinner. Then went out for more drinks.... this is where things get quite hazy.
The whole evening I was feeling good and not too fat in my tight dress but then when we out clubbing boy oh boy did I loose it!
A) I dropped my iphone down the toilet and had to fish it out, luckily I had just flushed but it is as dead as a dodo
B) As soon as we were in the clubs surrounded by people my confidence took a nose dive and mix it with alot of drinks I started blubbing like a new born and have a memory of us sitting in a taxi and me wailing how fat and unattractive I am.
All my friends and I said we are just to old to go out drinking like this, we all become idiots and become people that we are not. I know I am overweight but I don't think I am gross. I don't think I have a positive image of myself but I am working on it. It takes time and I am not emotional and do not cry (at least not in front of people) the annoying thing is I always cry when I am with my friend R. For some reason I always get really emotional around her. Anyway needless to say I don't want to go to much into it due to the sheer embarrassment of it and the shame of being such a idiot! Anyway I really really don't want to drink as much anymore. Every time I do I regret it and really hate it, also it is so so so expensive.
Anyway the next day we went to a SPA and that was amazing. As soon as we got in the jacuzzi we all felt so much better! It was a lovely spa, they didn't have a swimming pool but a really large Jacuzzi and a big sauna and steam room. The steam room was great as you could sit there with a hot shower coming down on you. Agh it was just amazing, we then had massages and then went to this warming massage pods that you lie on. It was lush. It was so funny as we were also all saying we aren't getting any younger and we all really want to take more care of our bodies in regards to eating, health and sports and creams and lotions etc. We were saying how we want to take up the mantra of "your body is your temple" and just take better care of ourselves. I think it comes as we are getting older and I know we are only turning 26 but that for us it is the beginning of the downhill stretch I am not saying we are running down it or anywhere near the bottom but like any long hike you have to prepare for it!
Another thing we said which I am doubly excited about it that we are going to do spa breaks or something similar alot more often . Maybe 4 times a year (once a season) and have the chance to catch up and relax and do something all together (no men allowed) I wanted to come up with a name and came up with the D-Tea Club. I think its very clever as it's de-tox but the T spelt like having a High Tea which is probably what we will do. We won't always go for a spa, maybe a cookery weekend or country club weekend or something but somewhere where we can just relax and recharge and chat. The next one is the 25th of November just before the X-Mas stress of families and present shopping.
I can't wait to get my Zen on!!!
