Inspiration
January is when we all decide to lose weight. Just like everybody else, I want to shed off some pounds. I’m just glad that I did not pig out during the holiday season like I always do every year. I even started playing tennis with Stephen which equates to a cardio workout. I still have a couple of months ahead of me to lose weight before summer comes. I’m really hoping that this will be THE year where I will finally win the battle against the bulge. I keep on looking at before-and-after pictures of people who have lost weight for inspiration. Then silently telling myself, “if they can do it, I can do it too.” Just check out this one from a past winner of the show “The Biggest Loser”.
Jogging Menace
The other day, the Husband and I decided to go for a walk in the nearby lake. This lake actually has a pathway which is level enough for a person to jog. I insisted that I will jog that day instead of doing brisk walking. Based on experience, jogging is the most effective way for me to lose weight. I used to jog in ULTRA Pasig (before the stampede). I can go around it 10 times in an hour but that was long ago. I decided to try that again this time at the lake but I just finished 3/4 of a mile and I was already exhausted. My heart was pounding and I started feeling sick so I stop and sat on a nearby bench. This is just a sign that I’m so out of shape. I will have to work my way up again and maybe I can do high impact exercise like using an elliptical.
Night Owl
It is actually 3AM already but I’m still up. My stomach just keeps on burning for a couple of nights now. I already took two different kinds of medicines but none of them is working. I just had to get up so I won’t wake up the Husband with my constant toss and turns. I’m hoping that my body will soon get too tired to even feel this pain. 
Tummy Pains
Earlier today, I have experienced the most excruating pain in my tummy that woke me up. I felt really sick. This is the worst hyperacidity that I have ever experienced. I had to take two meds before it subsided. The ever caring Husband made sure that I’m ok before he left. I laid down most of the day to get more rest and as of the moment, I feel so much better. I wonder if the stuffed pasta shells are to be blame because the Husband has been burning up as well last night. Oh well, lesson learned for cheese overloading.
Out of Sight
My eyeglasses already gave in. The Husband has tried to stick it together with a sticky glue to no avail. I guess it is really time for me to get new glasses. I still think about my other pair that I lost last summer. It is too difficult not to wear one just like the other day when I have to take off my contact lenses. I suffered all day seeing things in a blur. If I can find an $ 8 Complete Rx Eyeglasses that will be perfect. The popular online eyeglasses shop that sells affordable glasses is my target. I do want to order one of the stylish Holiday Glass Frames From Zenni Optical. I want this one in black.
Safe Holiday
I hope that we can go to my in-laws this thanksgiving. It will be my first thanksgiving so I’m quite excited. I know most of us will be going home for that holiday weekend which means long drive for the most part. It is a must that the car is ready beforehand. Check everything like the tires, oil, breaks and others before taking that long journey. If it needs to be taken to one of the auto repair shops, do it. As they say it is better to be safe than sorry.
Write It Down
I thought of making a journal for weight loss so I can see progress and at the same time keep me going. I really really want to lose weight. Something that has always been in my New Year’s resolution. I know that lately I have been posting alot lately about this topic but I want to don’t want to reach 30 years old fat and ugly. My time is running out because I will turn 30 soon. As I was checking for ideas on the web about weight loss journal, I came across some videos about lapband surgery. Based on the videos and pictures, there were great improvements. I think that operation is recommended for the highly obesed folks since their lives are already in great danger. I don’t think I will have to wait for that for me to happen. I better exercise now.
