Day 3 - NaBloPoMo

Today was a fine day. I was supposed to be at the practice session for the dance number we are preparing for the company Christmas party but I failed to make it because I was taking care of some very important matters. I finished the errand shortly before 4pm and went straight to the gym for my workout.

There were a number of people in the gym today - I guess it's because the long weekend's almost over. I managed to do a total of 40 minutes for my cardio workout and about 15 minutes or so for free weights. While resting before going into the sauna, I watched the Body Jam session that was happening in the group exercise room. I have long been wanting to participate in any of the group exercises available because I found it fun from a watcher's perspective. I know it's gonna be a very rigorous workout to replace my sessions with the treadmill and bike but I'm pretty sure I'll love it. Since my work schedule's been changed from 730am to 430pm due to the end of DST tomorrow, I will be able to participate in the group exercises starting this week. And I'm really excited about it.

After spending a couple of minutes inside the sauna then taking a lukewarm then cold shower, I finally decided to try out the spa services of the club. They had a cool offer this month for a citrus delight scrub with massage. It's a combination of apple, orange and yogurt scrub that is supposed to work on balancing the skin's pH level. I wasn't really into the whitening property of the fruits but I just would like to try out the spa services of the club and compare it with Marionnaud's.

As for the facilities, I was totally impressed. I don't have anything bad to say against the ambiance and everything that is necessary for a relaxing time at the spa. The massage was okay, but I didn't find it exceptionally good and relaxing as what my regular masseuse's massage over at Marionnaud. The price of 999 for a scrub and massage was pretty good though because I usually pay 850 just for a massage at Marionnaud.

I would like to try their other services but I guess I'd have to find a better masseuse this time. I really don't feel as relaxed as I should be but the massage that I had can do for now. I enjoyed my "me" time once again.

I've decided that tomorrow will be another rest day for me from my workout, unless I change my mind again.
