My body is feeling amazing. I'm eating these wonderful foods, working out like a crazy woman (out of boredom) everyday, and the fresh air makes me want to walk everywhere I go. The difference in the food over here is really amazing. I'm amazed at how fresh and natural everything is. The government won't allow them to use the preservatives and chemicals that we use in our foods in America. That means that when I buy yogurt it looks absolutely disgusting. The fruit doesn't look perfect. They don't sell protein bars here, either. You're expected to sit down and have a real meal. But when I walk down the street I rarely see anybody with a weight problem. It's a healthy nation. I know we've done study after study on this, but I'd like to take credit for my ongoing study of how freakin fantastic the food is over here. Everything in moderation, or my jobs will be in moderation...
Today was just another day as usual. Started off at the day spa. I like the girls who work there. They're all so sweet to me. Sometimes we hit a language barrier. Today she confused the words "exfoliate" and "irrigate". She wanted to 'irrigate' my face. Hmm, I think not. From there I went to the fitness center, as always. I love it here. Privacy. Back home there are always a dozen college kids wanting to have social time. Here I don't think there's anyone my age in a 10 mile radius. I like it like that.
Tomorrow I'll get up and do it all over again. Not complaining, of course. I've finally started adjusting to the time difference. I'm sleeping before 5am and waking up before noon. Soon I'll be back home trying to get back into that schedule. Part of traveling, I guess.
I divide my time in the states between 2 homes. One in California and one in the Midwest. Looks like both places have been struck by odd winter storms while I'm away. Am relieved that I'm not there to go through it, but worried for my friends and family. The crazy winter storm in the Midwest took a toll on Moms house and garage. People just don't expect something like that in the middle of winter. Snow, yes. Tornado weather, no. And ice storms and flooding in California? About a month ago I flew over here to Monaco for another job and the day I left California was the day the big fires started. When I landed here I had a message from Mom asking if I had left my curling iron plugged in... It wasn't me... And I don't think I can be blamed for what's goin on this time...
