Hellllooooo!  It’s Jenny!!!  Sooooooo  there is nothing I love more then my sweet and adorable little family. They are the best time!!!! With that said………….. every girl needs some alone time.  Since I have had London, I can’t remember the last time I had a peaceful shower.  There is always someone knocking at the shower curtain needing or wanting something.  I need to shave my entire body!!!!!!!   Right ladies?!?!?!?!(thinking of Sara!!!)   Yeah it barely ever happens that I leave the shower hairless.  Brandon and London visited his mother over the weekend!!!!!  I would be lying if I didn’t say I was soo freaking excited.   When Brandon approached me with this idea,  I couldn’t stop explaining how much I supported the idea of nurturing this Father/daughter relationship.  Some quality time for those two was exactly what they needed.  And a weekend all to myself was exactly what I needed!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the picture I received while I was at work on Saturday

I knew they were going to have the best time.  And I could now relax and start enjoying my weekend!!!  So I went to the mall.  I actually got to shop in complete peace.  Going shopping all alone is one of my most favorite things.  It’s kind of a detox thing for me!!  Love it.   Anyway I was there for 5 glorious hours.  And it just kinda flew by.  I definitely went shopping on the right weekend. The sales were insane, which aided in my slight shopping spree!

In the past, I just got comfortable with the idea that there was only a limited selection of clothing that would fit.  And these accessories always fit.  So naturally these were the first things I gravitated to at Charming Charles. Which is such a fun store for this fat girl!  My experience this visit was so different.

This was really validating I had lost some weight!  Typically I would be in the dressing room sweating my butt off,  because I had so much anxiety about trying clothes on and  always knowing it would not fit.  I put the first dress on and it was smooth sailing from there.   I had such a great night, I felt even more motivated about getting into the gym on Sunday!

I woke up to silence and natural sunlight!  If you have kids, you get it.  And I had my FAV coffee

Then I went to the gym,  in my new workout clothes!  Thanks OLD NAVY!

 

 

 

 

 

I came home and took a shower.  It was complete silent and amazing.  I thought I would be considerate and shave every bit of hair for my massage!  I was starting to feel like a lady again!!!

Massage Envy was awesome. They were so friendly and professional.  Denise, who was running guest services when I walked in was the happiest woman ever.  I haven’t had a massage in 3years so I was kinda nervous,  but she put me at ease with her detailed consultation.  It felt really great being the client for a change.  Karla was my therapist that day.  She was kind, professional and very knowledgable.  She was great!!!!!!!! (yelling)  It felt so goooooooood. Go see her.

She was so freaked out about taking this picture!  It was adorable.  I guess I have become kinda numb to the camera.  No big deal. Strangers take pictures together all the time, right?!?!?!?

So then I went and got a mani and pedi with my sister! And an afternoon iced coffee.  I definitely have oily Massage hair! I didn’t give a shit I felt so relaxed.  And officially became a lady again!!!!

 

I so needed this weekend.  It was just another way of taking care of my physical and mental health.  Every weekend can’t be like this, so I look forward to these days in the future.  Brandon and London got home Sunday evening and I got the biggest, most loving hugs ever!!  Hugs I will definitely have to share with our Hug guru and friend Melinda!  It’s Monday,  Bring on the hard work and discipline! #feelingfierce #mommylife #ladylegs   Thank you for the support, and we are officially in WEIGH IN COUNT DOWN MODE.  I can’t believe it is almost that time again!!!!!
