On my last blog, I announced that I was going to get a bikini wax, well I did and it was an experience!
Let me start with my waxer extraordinaire! Lori Crooks of Clearwater Center in River Falls is wonderful. It’s kind of an embarrassing and vulnerable experience and she made me feel very comfortable. There was a lot of laughing and joking and “I can’t believe I’m doing this”. Lori stared with a questionnaire and then explained the process. And it hurt too. I’m not trying to discourage you from trying this out because I will do it again; I’m just being totally honest. It was worse than an eyebrow wax by 10 but not quite as bad as child birth.
Clearwater Center is located right on Main Street in River Falls. Lori does body waxing and electrolysis. I would highly recommend trying something new. Its great not having to shave and I’m excited not worry about shaving all summer long. Find out more about Clearwater Center at www.clearwaterwi.com. You won’t be sorry, Lori is a wonderful person.
Now onto race results; I’ve been running for months training for a ½ marathon and that marathon took place last Sunday. The Eau Claire ½ Marathon is the first marathon I have run in 2 years. I’ve been very excited about this race for over a year now. I’m very proud to report that I ran the race in 2 hours, 2 minutes and 8 seconds. My best race results yet. My goal was 2 hours, but it was cold and windy and it even snowed! I know I could have hit my goal if the weather wasn’t so miserable. I ran well throughout the race, and felt really good; the miles just few by. Now I’m looking forward towards my next ½ marathon. I’m in such good shape, I don’t want to stop.
And finally – my diet! I have been fluctuating within the same 5 lbs for two months now. It’s frustrating but it’s a good weight for me to be fluctuating within. I’m taking this week off of hard core dieting; mostly from writing my entire food intake down. I’m also concentrating on the amount of carbs I’m eating as well. I feel like that is the key to my weight loss.
Til next time…
