I think my blood sugar went up as of late, and was thinking of having a complete set of lab tests just to be on the safe side. The tedious thing about having an FBS is the fasting! It would have been completely okay if not for the fact that I work nights and so it’s absolutely hard not to drink or eat anything for the entire 9 hours I’m in the office. Good thing we went to my mother-in-law’s house last week and I was able to check my blood sugar level using her glucometer. And thank God it’s only at 110!

One test down! I just need to find out my cholesterol level and other stuff. Which reminds me that I have to look for affordable creatine supplements for my mom. If you happen to know a good brand please do message me.

May be I went over the top yesterday by being out the whole day, waking up at 7:30am when I slept at 4am already and getting my ass home at close to midnight. Add to that that I went far down south, which translates to 2 lrt rides, one jeepney ride on the way to SM Southmall and on the way home it means 2 tricycle rides, 2 bus rides and 2 jeepney rides. Oh well but it was all worth it when I saw my dear girls (former reps turned great friends) whom I haven’t seen for 5 years. So as a trade off I’m now sick. I guess I ought to start really living a healthy lifestyle. I’m not getting any younger and so I have to slow down.

Well happy Sunday y’all.

My son is turning 4 come July and I still haven’t managed to go back to my pre-pregnancy weight! Sigh. I could only blame myself for this. Hopefully I get to go back in shape before my son turns 4 and hopefully, after I do, I wont get preggers for at least another year or two.

Currently, I’m scouring the web for diets that work fast for women and other things to motivate me into stopping myself from going to the ref every so often. Oh well, I’ll try my best to go out tomorrow and walk around our neighborhood to burn off a few calories, that should be a start.

Appetite Suppressants have long been around to help curb cravings and unhealthy eating habits. Unfortunately, there are some brands that have been identified to have really bad side effects. I forgot the brand that my mom used to take when she was still in her 20s and she said, she doesn’t feel hungry at all after taking it but she spits all the time and well she’s unable to sleep at night.

One brand that I recently heard of is Phentermine. I’m trying to check out Phentermine reviews right now to check if there are adverse side effects and if it’s actually safe. I might need one soon when we have a send-off party to my uncle and his wife when they go back in the US. Will let you know soon if it’s okay and if I’m going to give it a try.

And since I told you I was trying to while away by reading articles online about weight loss in between work, I actually found another interesting site that may also be of interest to you guys. Check out www.weightlosspills.org The site is filled with information about common over-the-counter diet pills, reviews from customers and the range of prices. If you’re also keen on finding out possible side effects of a certain pill you might want to try, then you really ought to check out the said site.

We cannot be careful these days.  I remember a saying that too much of anything is bad.  Take for example one of our neighbors.

He lived in a far away province as a miner.  He started working there since he was 18.  The guy was a hard worker, works twelve hour shifts and never misses a day of work.  He worked so hard that he never married, never had any kids, and a handful of his so called friends.  He always said that too much hard work was never enough.  A person must work as hard as he can and everything would fall into place.  I never really believed him, I always believed that a balance should be maintained at all times.  Some of our neighbors told him to think of another way to earn a living since working everyday in a min can cause serious damage to his lungs like Mesothelioma or something else.  But he never listened.

One day we found out he got sick.  He was bed ridden for months.  He’s ok now but the doctors told him he shouldn’t exert too much effort since his body took too much damage from his condition.  Bad thing is, he’s alone and there’s no one to really take care of him.  His fellow miners often come by to check on him from time to time but there is really no one to look after him.

We should always be mindful of that we are working to live and not living to work.  Those two are very different things.

My circadian rhythm is absolutely skewed. I miss sleeping at nights. For the past 9 years, sleeping at night has been a luxury during the restdays and was a major blessing for two years that I was given a dayshift account and became ordinary at the time I was in between jobs. Nonetheless, I so miss sleeping at night. Don’t get me wrong, I am grateful that I have a job. On the other hand, it’s just too taxing. I really hope and pray that I can learn what God is teaching me soon enough so that I get to graduate from this stage.

In the mean time, any suggestions for a good sleeping pill or ways to induce sleep?

I did look at the old pictures that I have, the ones that are from back 5 to 8 years ago and boy were they different from the face I see now in the mirror. I looked stressed and really tired. Although on the pictures that I have recently, my skin is at its fairest. On the other hand, on a closer inspection, there seems to be a lot of blemishes and sun spots. Fortunately, I don’t see any fine lines and I would like to keep it that way. Now that I’m in my line of 3, I vow to keep the following resolution:

• religiously have facials or a diamond peel twice a month
• find out the best anti wrinkle creams and see which on the list is most affordable for me.
• drink more water
• eat more fruits and vegetables.
• exercise

Such a tall order. I certainly hope I get to keep all.

I just turned 30, a few days ago. Somehow, I don’t feel like 30. As they say, age is just a number. On the other hand, i came across an id picture of mine way back 10 years ago, and boy do I look so much younger then! It’s a wake up call! Here are some of my resolution for this new year of my life:

• Have facials 2x a month, which was an old routine.
• Hair spa 2x a month as well.
• Research further on what’s a good anti aging product.
• Exercise.
• Eat healthy.
• Laugh more.

I have another one that I’ll keep to myself in the mean time. Hopefully I get to follow through all those things I’ve outlined.

Belly fat, whether it’s a beer belly or after pregnancy kind of belly fat; it ain’t pretty. It’s nasty in pictures and is purely unsightly! So how do you get rid of belly fat? There’s a lot of ways. For one, you can take the easier and yet more expensive way – liposuction. For the rest of the population who just cannot afford the said procedure, or are just plain scared to go under the knife, the only way to do it is through diet and exercise. Below are some exercise routines that aids on how to lose abdominal fat.
