Yesterday night, my friend, Tine and I went to Marikina Sports Complex to dance the night away and burn some calories. She has been inviting me to join her for quite some time now and it was only yesterday that we were able to coordinate our schedules. It was a fun night and a very inexpensive way to burn off some unwanted fats. Despite the fact that we were a little bit late, the high impact work out still got us to perspire horridly. The fifty bucks was so worth it! Read more…

The first time I came across Ensure, I was under the impression that it was for Diabetics. As a common misconception for health drinks, I was under the impression that it tastes blunt. I never had the chance to actually taste it until after I gave birth. I had to stay in the hospital for four days and during that time, I had the chance to be served Ensure, the chocolate flavored one.

You have seen different athletes wearing braces for all sorts of things.  I have seen it mostly on pro wrestlers since they hit their knee as often as they can with the slams and stuff. Read more…

Yesterday, I went to far flung Balibago, Sta. Rosa, Laguna as I was supposed to have a hair rebonding treatment, courtesy of my friend/fellow sales consultant, Ate Belen. Aside from our educational program sales job, she has other sales jobs and one of it was the Noah Waters equipment.

When I got into her house she first showed me her Noah Water filter that turns tap water into alkaline water. I know that alkaline water has a lot of health benefits, like decreasing the acidity of the body thereby preventing disease, promoting weight loss and boosts energy. I’ll probably attend one of their demos one of these days.

My cousin used to be on the stocky side, don’t ask about his weight then, but his waist is 40inches and he is 5’7″ tall. He is still very much overweight considering his height. Anyway, he managed to shed off all those fat with much discipline in his diet and his exercise routine. Aside from lifting weights, doing cardio exercises and boxing, he also became very picky with the food that he eats. He used to have bottles of whey powder which I figured he’s mixing with his drinks. There was a point in time when he used to consider taking steroids but was able to read about force factor scam so he decided against it.

Now, if only my husband and I can get some of that discipline, then we’ll manage to get rid of all these fats. hehe

I seriously need to lose weight! Yeah, I know, I know. I’ve had too many failed attempts at this. My son is about to turn 4 and I still haven’t gotten back in shape. This 3olbs of pregnancy weight is still with me! Read more…

I am fond of watching home TV shopping networks.  I like watching their sales pitches and sometimes it gives me an idea on a pitch that I may need in the future.  One of my favorites is about some muscle stimulators.  You know, those machines that sends electricity to your muscles and makes them contract on their own?  If you think about it, the premise is simple.  Your muscles contract, your muscles are worked out.  If they are worked out, they tone themselves.  But I wonder if they really work.  If you use them too much, isn’t bad for the body as a whole?  Or what if you forget to tone a certain part and just focus on one part for months?  You will have six pack abs but man boobs to boot.  Yuck!

I was a smoker when I was in college.  Actually, my husband still is a smoker, but it will be long before he quits.  as for me, I stopped smoking way before I got married,  I remember why I started smoking.  When you inhale and puff the smoke out, it feels like your puffing out the calories in your body too,  I know, it’s stupid.  Anyways, I quit not just because of health reasons, but also the taste.  Before the swisher cigars that tastes sweet, there is only one kine of cigar, the tobacco flavored one.  I hated the after taste.  That is one of the things that drove me to quit.  I hope my husband finds his motivation soon.

Lu Zhihao of China is considered to be the world’s fattest kid. This fish fanatic boy is no doubt the personification of the tire brand mascot Michelin. It was said that the booming Chinese economy is enabling more and more families to pamper their kids and somewhat directly contributing to the problem of obesity. Hopefully, the parents of the boy acts on putting him on a diet and an exercise plan to help him get rid of all those excess fats before it’s too late.
