My favorite massage

I love a good massage. In fact, I go to a spa at least once a week. Sometimes, I go twice a week.

The moment my friend introduced me to the world of spa nine years, I got hooked. There was no turning back. And my body actually craves for it.

I have been to a whole range of spas. From basic spa to five star spas. While the amenities add for a relaxing atmosphere, what really matters is how good the massage is. Or appropriately how good the therapist/masseuse is.

I love an aromatic whole body massage. But what I am crazy about is a foot spa or a foot massage.

I love a strong massage. It relaxes me and it actually makes me feel good. They say that a reflexology is helpful. And it is!

When I feel like a migraine is coming, I run to the spa. It relieves me. It does. That's why I am crazy about it.

A healthy lifestyle for me includes, a good diet, exercise, one a day vitamin and a relaxation in the form of massage.

More than the massage, I love it because while I am being pampered, I still get to read a magazine or blog or take a peek into my FB account. I am a multitasker and this is one example of multitasking in a very good way!

In fact, I am having a foot massage right now. Cool!

Exercise more

While looking at my daily exercise log, I realize I am not exercing enough. Sure, I log in between 20 - 30 minutes everyday of combined cardio and toning exercises but to be able to see the results, I need to spend some more quality time.

I am thinking I should exercise twice a day because I couldn't afford to spend 1 hour of exercise in the morning. I am always pressed for time in the morning. And I can only spare 30 minutes.

In the afternoon, I have some free time. After I do my work and errands, I usually just read my favorite blogs with chips in my hand!

So, to resist temptations I need to be doing something. And what better way to stave off cravings than to exercise, right?

I should go find my exercise dvd now. I will be needing it.

World peace or 10 pounds off

To lose weight, be it 5 pounds, 10 pounds or more is always a part of new year's resolution of a lot of people. To be honest, it's always one of my NY's resolution. LOL!

I was reading Glamour Magazine (September 2010 issue) yesterday and Glamour's List of 10 Things More Important Than Those Last Five Pounds by Kimberly Bonnel and Pamela Redmond Satran caught my eyes. It's witty, funny and true.

In no order, here's their list:

**Birthday Cake

**Falling in love, running a company, buying a home - you know, the real stuff.

**Dumping the guy who answered, "Uh, yeah, to "Does my butt look big in this?" There, 180 pounds, gone!

**Perspective. It's just five pounds. No need to act like it's 50.

**Friends kind enough to post only the good photos.

**Magic underwear. (Why do you think our grandmas always looked so good?)

**The baby/law degree/743 fabulous Mexican dinners that put the weight on in the first place.

**Going to Paris for the cheese and San Francisco for the sourdough.

**Legs strong enough to hike you all the way to the top.

**World peace. Or even an inner peace.

I am guilty of trying to get rid of the last 10 pounds and guess what? I have never succeeded. LOL!

This year, I promise to enjoy the ride more instead of always trying to find the weight loss pills that work for me.

I guess world peace is much more achievable than me losing the last 10 pounds anyway. LOL!
