Hi everyone!
It's been a very long time hasn't it? My apologies for that. As you know, I have had around a months worth of exams for the body component of my study, and then a week off...which also consisted of my graduation. I passed ALL my exams, including my massive CIDESCO exam, and I am totally stoked! So now I am fully qualified to do electrolysis, Swedish massage, body electrical treatments, figure analysis, spray tanning and give you nutrition/exercise advice, as well as all the things I am already qualified for (waxing, facial treatments, tinting, manicure/pedicure, makeup etc). I've started the third and final part of my study journey - spa treatments - and so far I have been loving the things we are learning! Watch this space people...I'm sure I'll have more to tell you as time goes on...
Graduation was AMAZING. As if graduating wasn't enough, and having my friends and family there, I also very kindly recieved 2 awards...I am the Elite International Beautician of the Year, and the Student of the Year for 2011! Pretty cool I think...I still get excited about it, and even though I didn't do all the hard work for the awards, I suppose it is nice to get some little award to say thanks! I got over $1000 worth of beauty vouchers, 2 boquets of flowers, 2 bottles of wine, and a box full of goodies, along with a trophy (which now sits in my beauty room!). It was a really good night, I loved spending time with my friends (old and new!) and my little brother, who is going off to Japan tomorrow! I will miss him terribly, but it gives Mike and I something to save up for so we can go and see him in Japan!
Ok, I suppose I had better update you on the weight loss for the last month or so. Mike has done AMAZINGLY. He has now lost 17 kilos. And you can definitely see it! He's super skinny now, and only has about 20 kgs to go until he gets to his goal.
I wasn't so good, I only managed to lose 600grams after about 3 weeks. But to be honest, I wasn't even expecting a loss. It has been a very tough month, exams really took their toll, so I struggled in both the eating well and the exercising department. So even a small loss is good for me. I have to get back into it now though, I need to lose so much more than I have. So it's back on the wagon for me. I must say, honestly, that I am a bit reluctant, but the next time I weigh in will be better and I'm sure will motivate me again!
Hope you are all well and life is treating you kindly! You'll hear from me again in the near future I promise! Thank you again, those of you that support me no matter what I do. Those that don't are just not worth it in my experience!! Those that have been endlessly supportive, I want you to know how much you mean to me, how wonderful you are, and how thankful I am for you.
Take care, be well, sending all my positive energy your way!
Much love,
