My top five reasons

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Anna

I have this e-mail subscription about health and diet and it really motivates me, you know. Well, yes, I am not yet the right person to brag about anything because I have not succeeded yet but that is why I need something or someone to push me and motivate me.

Today, the article is about ways to stay motivated. First as always is what is your reason for dieting. So what are my reasons?
1. Better looks- yes, I want to get better looks or better figure, at that.
2. Shop smaller clothes or be able to shop clothes that I really like- it always pains me whenever I could not buy the clothes that I want just because there is no available size for me.
3. Health- well, yes, it should be my number one or first reason or maybe the sole reason for losing weight, right?
4. Money- as you know, there is a contest in the office which I joined and I invested in. There was an entrance fee to join the contest. That is for the prize for the winner. I sure want to win that prize. It is P8,500.
5. Confidence- I must say that I am not that confident whenever I am in the crowd of slimmer and more beautiful and equally intelligent people. I am not shy though but maybe I am just not that too confident or feel at par with them

Top 5 reasons must be enough for me to stay on track? Stick to my goals?

Oh, I have to record, I am 168.8 lbs today but I pigged out twice this week! One last Tuesday and another yesterday. I plan to eat less and keep walking at least 20 minutes a day. I hope that would be enough for me to lose ten pounds by the end of March 2012… and yes, no more pigging out!

To listen to good music, get good headphones

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Anna

I had to review my blog to check if I have given my husband a gift! Oh, am I that old to be too forgetful already? Sometimes, I really have a memory of the fish, you know! I really could not remember things, already!

So, I have not given my husband a Valentine’s present. I know what to give him already, you know. Well, I just have to find out how I can get these Audio-Technica studio headphones. You know why? My husband loves headphones, earphones, speakers, anything that will give him good audio! As a matter of fact, when we were out yesterday, we stopped at more than ten stores selling audio equipments and gadgets! Imagine that!

Music is good for the soul, indeed. According to my husband, make sure to have good headphones too!

Finally without a mouse!

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Anna

Finally without a mouse! Well, as far as I am using my laptop right now! Oh, I learned, I guess, having stressful mouses in the past or until now. Well, the more affordable mouses or those cheap mouses do not give optimum performance and can even give you stress! So, now, I learned to use my fingers, huh! That is after almost three and a half years of having my lappy. I guess, I really need to embrace modern technology, huh!

For my kid’s stuff

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Anna

I had a superb weekend! Well as far as Saturday is concerned as I had a date with my husband for lunch then met my girlfriend early in the afternoon.

Bonding with friends is really a good therapy especially when you are inside the mall and shopping! Okay, it is the activity that is more fun huh! Anyways, yes, my dear friend and I went walking inside the mall for almost four hours. Dress section, shoe area, clothes! Wait! Yes, bags! As we searched the bag and luggage part of store, the personalized kids luggage caught my attention. I thought that it was perfect for my son! Well, it is the time of the year again that we need to shop for my son’s school needs. I think he could use the personalized luggage in school and perfect for the summer here in our country also as we are planning to go on a vacation in the province. He can put all his stuff there!

Only after three days of bananas and apples! Well, in preparation for the date today! ;) Let us see my weight after that. At least, I know now what to do. :)

The diet coffee still works?

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Anna

The diet coffee still works after all! Proof? I am still awake at this time. Well, maybe because the office scenario was not that tiring today? Maybe…
Going back to the diet coffee, I was thinking that I am already immuned to it. Well, yes, I do not like so much sweet but I can still eat…a lot! This morning, I had cinnamon rool and a glass of four seasons orange juice plus a big banana! For lunch, I ate another banana. For merienda, I had a cheeseburger, french fries, caramel sundae and small butterfinger bar chocolate! For dinner, I had around 1/2 cup of rice and a cup of veggies.

I will still try again tomorrow and let us see what will be the effect.

Big eyes in surprise

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Anna

My son will be having his first ever painting contest. Too bad I will not be able to watch. I can see his excitement and eagerness to win. I told him to just enjoy it though. Well, I do not want him to be pressured or anything. I am thinking of giving him a gift, win or lose. I want something new to him. Maybe a chinese yoyo would make his day tomorrow and would occupy his weekend. I am excited to see his big eyes in surprise and happiness upon receiving the toy!

I need to learn how to draw

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Anna

I need to learn how to draw. Well, I am not an artist but I need to learn how to draw diagrams. I have Visio but I am not really an expert in using it. Somehow, I feel left behind. That is as far as my co-workers are involved. Well, I am not an I.E. or I.T. graduate for that matter but since I am working in the Technology Department, I have to be at par with the intelligent, skilled and young ones.

Weighing scale reading

Posted on February 5, 2012 by Anna

I had my weight measured a while ago and I knew that I gained back the pounds that I lost two weeks ago. I am back to 172 lbs. again. I guess that will be my permanent weight? Am I claiming defeat in the contest? Well, I will just try to get that off my mind I guess.

So what went wrong in my diet? Good food? Not really… Maybe they are right about eating steamed rice. I have so much of that lately. Just this morning I had two cups!

So, begin my dieting again tomorrow, huh! Yes, it is a Monday! February 6! I still have two months to lose some weight and maybe catch up with the other contestants? Haha! Yes, I said that I will just get it out of my mind but here I go again….

For the valuables

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Anna

One of my friends has a construction business. It is actually a joint venture of her and her husband. Yes, a family business. That is why they have a cash box. I hope that it is made by amsec. Anyways, they always have cash on hand as their business means purchasing any time and of course, cash advances from workers.

My husband and I plan to have a vault in the house also. Maybe in the future when we have enough valuables to put in it.
