The next best massage I got after the Thai massage was the lymphatic massage I got from my friend Nikki's spa, Organic Rituals Spa in the mezzanine floor of Atlanta Centre located along Annapolis St in Greenhills. You can even choose your oil, I chose Green Tea. I felt energized after. Ang sarap! A little research on the internet says lymphatic massage aids in getting rid of toxins in your body. The therapist said ang dami kong "lamig" sa katawan and the fatty deposits are usually on my hips and legs that's why it hurts when she massages it. :(( When I paid the cashier told me that lymphatic massage helps in losing weight. Not quite sure how though...
After the massage, I waited for my consultation session with the in-house US-certified nutritionist, Miss Nadine Tengco. I didn't know she was the nutritionist until Nikki told me. She was an ex-neighbor who used to buy cigarettes from our bakery. HAHAHA. This is my view while waiting for my turn:
The nail spa chairs!
Miss Nadine gave me brochure while she was printing out some forms for me to fill up.
She asked about my eating habits (I eat several times a day including snacks!), my exercise regimen (not getting any right now cos I'm lazy and I get tired of the workout after I enroll - I also mentioned that I tried yoga, boxing and home videos - 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels) and finally my menstruation (Sooo not regular). From what I told her, she told me that she is almost sure that I have a hormonal/thyroid problem. She told me to take a couple of tests (I scheduled all my tests tomorrow morning). I'll see her after I get the test results. I'm kinda scared. She told me that I have to undergo detox then she will plan my treatment after that. Most girls with hormonal problems lose about 5 lbs after detox. I hope this works. :)
