Soprano XL-update

This blog has been so neglected!

I went back for my second Soprano XL treatment at Bellair Beauty Bar in Yorkville around Easter.  I left a meeting in work early to get there on time.  I regretted that decision when they kept me waiting 20 mins beyond my appointment time!  The girl I had was quite sweet though and asked me how the last session had worked.  I was happy overall-apart from a line of hair on my bikini line.  She said it was due to different phases of the hair growth cycle which I didn't quite believe.  It would be quite strange for ALL the hairs in one straight strip to be at exactly the same point in their cycle I would imagine.  I think it's more likely they were missed.
Anyway, she got to work and zapped away.  It was painless again.
The hair was slow enough to grow back but there's definitely more regrowth than after the first treatment. I've had to shave my underarms a few times.  The hair seems a little finer but I've lost those hairless patches I had after the first treatment.
Still a work in progress so we'll see how it all goes.  I didn't really expect it to work after 2 sessions anyway!  I'm just glad I'm paying the group buy voucher price....

Bodymedia activity monitor-the downside

I'm absolutely loving the summer weather in Toronto now!  The winter seemed so so long.  The downside I've found is that summer clothing and the Bodymedia monitor (Bodybugg/GoWear Fit) really do not go together.  No matter how they try to market it on the website, it's obvious and bulky.   It's bad enough under clothes (I became good at finding tops with just the right amount of room and fabric in the arms) but nearly impossible to hide under a t-shirt.  Most just don't have sleeves almost to the elbow which is what you need!

It's a fun device to wear but I wonder about the actual calorie count it gives.  I lost weight without it before so maybe it's time to take the summer off having something strapped around my arm.  The Fitbit is a much nicer size but I'm not sure I want to invest in something else just yet.

It could be time to go back a step and stick with my heart rate monitor for the gym and my pedometer.  I think making sure I do an adequate workout and trying to keep my steps up amount to the same thing as getting a good calorie total on the GoWear Fit anyway.
