Friends were asking me if I am taking weight loss pills because I am kinda losing weight! Woohoo! Though I am considering already but I am taking a different diet at this time. It is actually not a total diet formula but I am just watching my food intake now. I try to read labels and ensure that I would only take a maximum of 1300 calories a day. I still take coffee because I cannot do without in a day, still eat few sweets and even take 1 cup of rice every meal. 1 cup of rice is equivalent to 120 calories only. It’s actually the same thing like taking 3 slices of Skyflakes biscuits yeah, that’s right! So I would rather take 1 cup of rice and a deck of cards size of viand be it pork, beef or chicken. See, it’s effective…you can now see my collar bone! Woot! Harharhar

Yay! I hope my daughter Margaux won’t get this fat! This is from Fat Kiosk application in my iPhone. I also tried it myself and I wasn’t very happy with how I look. I was even mortified when I tried with my husband! lol! No, I am not going to post his picture here. I think we would need to get a portable ecg machine if he gets 50lbs heavier. harharhar.

But I wouldn’t allow it to happen of course.  In fact, we are back to eating healthy.  We are practicing calorie counting.

I met a small accident last saturday evening that resulted to my sprained ankle. It was a terrible fall that I was crying on my way to the hospital. Thank God though that I didn’t suffer from any broken bone. It was just that my whole right foot was swollen so poor me, I was actually stuck in bed since Sunday morning. As of today, I can actually move it a bit. I hope I would be in full recovery by tomorrow.

God really has His ways. Maybe, it was His way of telling me to slow down. To take it easy with work as well and to enjoy the company of my girls every afternoon. In the past few days, i have been closely monitoring the kids progress in school. I am grateful for the time that I can teach them their assignments every afternoon.

I am grateful as well that I was able to read some e-books which I have been delaying in the past couple of weeks because of my busy schedules.

I am also grateful for my efficient helpers who have been assisting me since my accidents.

And of course grateful for the comfort of my husband who takes care of me and ensures that I actually do not leave bed so I can have speedy recovery.

Hope I can really walk by tomorrow.

Happy! I checked-in my weight this morning and I am off with 5 pounds! Amazing! This is just by not taking any carbohydrates for more than a week now and also doing some crunches in the morning. Now, I am inspired! With just two days before our Boracay trip, I am excited! This means, I won’t need any over the counter appetite suppressants. Thank goodness! I thought I would really buy such kind already today. I’m spared!

we are going to Boracay. It will be my 4th time, the husband’s 5th time and the kids’ 2nd time. But it will all be our first time in Shangri-la Boracay Resort and Spa. So I am excited! Been wanting to try this resort since it opened two years ago because of feedback about their very good service. I hope Shangri-la Boracay will really leave up to my expectations. For the meantime, any suggestion on best hgh releaser? Well, not for me but the husband is already considering such.

No longer a cliche but should really adhere in following it. Been reading a lot about living a healthy lifestyle. Apparently, healthy lifestyle contributes to stress-free life and a comfortable living. I also learn more about keeping skin clean and acne-free. It also depends on the type of food we intake. I am guilty of such. This could be one of my new year’s resolution. To really start healthy living. Now, where do I begin?

Off to a quick trip this month. It’s a combined work + pleasure getaway. Where are we headed? Will do an ocular and suppliers meeting in Shangri-la Mactan, Cebu and then I decided to bring the kids as well so we can all stay in this nice posh hotel. It would be the first time of the kids. So now, I am pressured to find the best weight loss supplements so I can still fit in my skinny swimsuits. Looking forward to getting a tan! Woot!

before Christmas, I am desperate to lose weight. I know, I have always mentioned it but I still cannot get my target ideal weight for some reason. Excuses, excuses! But when you are already on this certain age, and after giving birth twice, there are just stubborn fats that are so hard to lose. I am even thinking now to go even try out some technologies (wink!). Or otherwise, I might consider taking those diet pills like what I have read about from net about phenphedrine reviews. I wonder if it would really work.

Yeah, saw this cute panda in Ocean Park HK. They said this Panda is actually pampered, giving all its favorite food, with vitamins as well. My brother was kidding when he said that they are probably giving him a whey protein powder, since it looks so heavy and healthy. lol! It is actually inside an air conditioned glass room. It is such a cute creature. Wish my girls saw it themselves. Will bring the kids to Ocean Park the next time we go to HK. There are actually new attractions there already.

Should this SBD still won’t work, then I would consider taking Diet and energy pills already. A typical south beach diet breakfast meal for me would be like this…

That is onion omelette and a slice of daing na bangus.  It is surprising that is actually filling.  This breakfast meal can already last me until around 10am.  Then I take about 10 pieces of cashew nuts that can again last me until lunch time.  A typical lunch won’t have rice at all.  It would just be like about 20 slices of beef tenderloin, soup and a salad.  I would almost burp already every time I would just see the salad.  After 14 days in SBD, I am ok not to have salads for a year, lol!  There would be an afternoon snacks like 2 slices of ham lyoner.  Dinner would be a light fish sauteed in soy sauce.

This is a typical SBD diet and I have lasted on it for 14 days!

Yes, of course our health matters. My husband and I had a serious talk about getting additional health insurance for both of us. I wish there is a health savings account here in the country that you can open in your bank and can give you a debit-card that you can use to actually protect you for any health-concern expenses. It’s like saving money and putting in a savings fund dedicated for any future medical expenses. I guess we all have to take care of our own health and take measures on who to protect us and our family for limitless expenses once we get sick.  For me, it’s one important matter that we should prioritize that is why we are actively reviewing other health insurance options on top of the HMO coverage we have currently.  I feel like these coverages wouldn’t be enough when emergency happens.  I don’t want to make money an issue just to save  a life of a loved one.

to lose those stubborn fats so I decided to take South Beach Diet (again!) seriously. This time, I wanted to do it for a minimum of one month. I am hoping I can survive it. I am enticing the husband to join me so let’s see. But with multiple invitations from hotels this time, I would probably start next week instead! lol! Ok, I am not yet ready psychologically so I’m giving myself a week. Do check on me next week if I have started already (wink!)

Look how we look now…

I am now reviewing all about alli diet pills since we have been feasting on buffets lately. We have been to number of buffets from this trip and I already feel bloated. We have been hotel hopping in Las Vegas and trying all those buffets from different hotels. I think the husband really need to go back to South Beach Diet again. I wonder if the promises of these diet pills hold true. I need to review some more. Any feedbacks?

I completed already the things we need to buy from the drugstore to bring for our trip. Yes, we are now fully equipped with vitamins, medicines for the kids and me the husband. Would you imagine, I even bought sleep pills as well? Talking about being so OC! I bought also lozenges, even moisturizers for me and the kids, sunblock and lip balm. We were advised that it is getting humid already in Cali and so the wind becomes different as well so we should really be prepared. Guess, we are truly fully equipped now.

Have you heard about the Colonics LA spa? It has becoming a well known spa center in LA that offers great services in all their massage therapies and colon hydrotheraphy. Colonic Los Angeles can be availed and is located in Woodlands Hills in California. Also known as studio city colonics, their service for colon hydrotherapy is to clean the colon with pure, filtered water. This process has been used for many years ago to actually cleanse the colon for any excess toxins and waste in the body. It can relieve constipation, and stimulate the peristaltic movement of the colon for improved eliminations. The system proves to also reduce appearance of cellulite and can strengthen tones of the skin. The toxins are removed through the largest organ of the body which is skin.  Colon Hydrotherapy is known to be safe, gentle and effective and will not lead to dependency unlike taking laxatives that can actually immune the digestive system.  Did you know that nowadays, our typical diet of eating overcooked or processed food can trigger chronic constipation and digestive problems.  Also not drinking enough water and just drinking coffee, sodas or fruit drinks can also dehydrate our intestines.  So this colon hydrotherapy could be one of the solutions for this digestive problems.

Our home edition would officially start on April 5! Yeah, the husband and I made a deal to go on a bet to lose weight seriously. When I say serious, it means it comes with a prize at stake as to whoever between us would win the competition. lol! We need to lose at minimum 10% of our current weight after a month. We would try to do all means on our own without cheating. I am so determined to lose weight so I may not eat anymore starting Monday, lol! I am dead set to win either a new bag (wink!) or some loose diamonds for a new pair of earrings! (wee!) But kidding aside, the prize would be healthier and longer life. It would be for our kids. Wish us luck!

The above is the two double beds inside our deluxe room which we booked in Thunderbird Resorts. It’s nothing fancy but I tell you, it is just so comfy! We were even joking that it would definitely be a hemorrhoids relief to our friend if he is with us! harharhar lol! The pillows are just fluffy and soft. The bed is just so soft as well.  Sleeping was actually a highlight of this simple vacation!

We are currently here in Thunderbird Resorts in Rizal. We are just having a relaxing time. The kids are enjoying in their nice pool, while the husband and I are talking by the pool side. This is my kind of vacation. Laid back, no hurries and just enjoying fresh air. The husband and I have talked already about a lot of things. Can you imagine, we even discussed hemorrhoid treatment for a friend who has one? Yeah, everything under the sun. But what I love most about we discussed are plans we have for the next half of the year! Life is definitely getting exciting!

On a lazy afternoon, I have been reading up on colon cleansing reviews. I wonder if these are effective? I am surprised that there are a number of pill like these which are already out in the market. It is just not a regular diet pills but most claim to flush out undigested waste that can help to lose extra weight. Some are even claiming to detoxify the digestive system and can even cure constipation, indigestion and the feeling of being bloated. If these are all true, I wanted to try one for myself. I wonder if these are available on our local drugstores counter.

No, not yet. But I have been planning to order again for food deliveries after the holy week. In fact, thinking to get one cycle for myself. This is to jump start again my way back to getting fit and slim. Or I am really thinking and convincing the husband that we should buy an elliptical instead so we could really exercise at home.  Saw some weekend sale and closeout sale from the internet and I just wonder how much would it cost us to ship one here.  I cannot seem to find a nice one from the local stores here.

Got this cute pink mug from a friend who works from Avon. It’s their company’s effort for Breast Cancer Awareness. They distribute these promotional items to their clients to increase awareness for women on how to protect themselves from this killer disease. Protection is always better that cure so early detection would matter well. What could be the an obvious outward signs of breast cancer? The most common ones include a lump, or an area of thickening in the breast. Other common signs include swelling and redness or an enlarged lymph node. But it could still be cancerous so it would still be best to see a doctor right away. Professional care should really be considered. To all my lady friends,I encourage you to be get a physical exam for this.
