Hello Ash Wednesday and the first day of Lent. So begins the next 40 days and 40 nights of….no chocolate. Dark Chocolate, of course. Yep. I have decided to give up my beloved Chocolate for Lent this year. aye yai yai…what have I gotten myself into!?I went to mass tonight and loved the message of the service….sweet & simple…Give forgiveness and spread love and kindness to all. I don’t go to church often but when I do I always leave feeling light, happy & renewed! And tonight I I got to leave with black ashes on my forehead. lol So, I Hope you everyone is having an awesome week! Mine has been slammed and absolutely flying…can’t believe tomorrow is already Thursday. Today was busy busy with clients but, I did make a pit stop at the mall to grab a latte at Dilworth Coffee (because they are cool and carry almond milk) & pick up some of my fave hand cremes from L’Occitane. I’m kinda crazy for moisturizers — face, body, hand, you name it… I buy a few of these babies at a time and toss ’em into different bags to make sure I always have hand creme, uhm…handy. 🙂 Food was super light and meatless for Ash Wednesday which I actually love and have no problem with. Feels good to eat vegetarian everyone now and then + gives your digestive system an easy day of work!
I made today a Rest & Mobility day as my legs were feeling all tree trunk-ish after Monday’s HIIT treadmill workout + yesterday was 30 minutes of cardio (treadmill:15 / StairMaster: 15) and hour hot yoga class.
