HOLA!
Our Debra did not have time to write a blog this week between getting massages, facials, hair treatments, loofahs, paraffins, fango, reflexology, tennis lessons, aquatics, eating, training and sunning herself. So, since my hand muscles are the only muscles that do NOT ache, I decided to write it for her!
We are in PARADISE! My first day here was quite an adjustment everyone here is much older than me (except for my 22 yr old “boyfriend drivers” who take me around the spa in a golf cart, he-he) and the spa cuisine provides 1200 calories per day that consists of about 90% of foods that I do not care for. Once I got over the shock of the food selection, I began to relax because I had no other option. We have been on hikes every morning, aerobics classes, aquatic classes, salsa classes, working in the gym and most importantly, DOING THE CURVYGIRL WORKOUT! And YES, I am STILL alive!
Ok, now it is time to be serious DEBRA MAZDA is a very, very special soul. Not only has she changed my LIFE, but being on this trip with her has extended that feeling to a whole other level. On her own vacation, she has literally taken me by the hand and pulled me up mountains on our hikes. After the hikes, she drags me straight to the gym and puts me on a machine and then trains me with weights. So in short, we complete 3 hours of exercise before 10am each day. This has been more than an emotional and physical experience for me – so a lot of tears (along with a lot of pounds I hope) have been shed this week.
At my weak and weepy moments, Debra has continued to motivate me and push me beyond any and all limits I thought existed. Today on our hike, Debra and her awesome friend Angela placed me in the middle of them and each took a hand of mine to pull me to the end. I can barely walk but I bet I sure will look great! The best part is that after you endure all that pain and put in all that work, you get spa treatments each day and we sit in the hot tub to relax those achy muscles.
The CURVYGIRL word has spread everyone here has met Debra and are all so excited to hear about this she taught the CurvyGirl class twice this week and they LOVED IT! She is like a celebrity here. It is hilarious. And I am her testimonial and spokesperson. The women all see and hear her training and motivating me and they are so inspired. They are asking for CurvyGirl to be all over the country. She even trained a group of us on weights today after the hike. A woman told me today after the hike that I motivated her to keep going when she saw me run past her. ME I motivated someone? And I ran some of it? That was an amazing feeling.
Debra got to see a bunch of her friends who she has not seen in a while and it is really touching to see how much they all love her. They are all so excited for her and have been giving her all kinds of ideas throughout the week on how to promote herself. She has praised Emily (CurvyGirl VP of Marketing) and Richard (CurvyGirl VP of Operations) to all of them and listened to their good intentions.
I have been eating the spa food all week I have had wonderful grilled shrimp, chicken dishes, turkey, beef, lots of fruit and salad, and I have not snacked at all. We went into town yesterday to do a little shopping and after we walked down a big hill, Deb said we would take a cab back to the spa because she didn’t want to walk back up the hill. Well if any of you know Debra, you know that I was hiking up that hill in the beating sun in a cute outfit and was drenched. She was along the side of me putting motivation in my ears to get me up that hill. And leave it to our star, she found the only gym in town and went in to inquire about classes – as if we haven’t had enough exercise at our spa.
So many women who are younger than Debra here have all said they don’t know where she gets her energy. We have been moving NONSTOP since Monday It has been a blast and I am honored to be here with her.
Who needs Bob and Jillian and a ranch when you can be in “Mexico with Mazda?”
Que tengan feliz semana (have a great week)!
Adios,
