Today, fingers
crossed, was the hardest day of the retreat. Every inch of my body hurts and
this is no exaggeration. I swear my fingertips are crying out in pain as I type
this. I am also a bit of an emotional mess, however, according to one of the
program managers this is expected on Teary Tuesday. Today is the day that your
body finally feels the pain of years of abuse from cigarettes, alcohol and
caffeine. It’s warning you not to do it again or you will be in trouble.
I
have to admit some highlights of my day were my personal training session and
my massage. The PT session was pure torture, but the trainer new exactly what
exercises I needed to do and wrote up a program so I could continue exercising
when I get back home- to prevent me from turning back into a fat slob. As a
result of this hellish workout I was rewarded with a massage from Qi-Gong
master Juan. Juan is amazing. He manages to find all your pressure points/sore
bits without you saying anything. I left feeling a million dollars, but this didn’t
last long. I think he coaxed the remaining toxins out of my body, leaving me
with a head/neckache that could kill armies. Hence, I slept for the remainder
of the day. Yes I was a sloth but I think I deserved it!!!
Dinner was wholewheat
pasta. YES I GOT PASTA. I didn’t really give a shit that it was brown and
tasted nothing like its processed relative- IT WAS CARBOHYDRATES. The chef
definitely knew I was in pain so served up some good old comfort food. (Watch
out this is what these retreats do to you- you start loving brown pasta!)
