Losing Weight!

I have finished the 21-day Advanced Night Recovery Complex and my skin is looking bright and healthy save for some pimples because I have not been getting my eight hours on a regular basis much more on a more humane before midnight to morning. Lately, I sleep from early morning 'til afternoon. Very unhealthy! *thwaps self*

I am very happy because i have continued doing HipHop Abs and i have been successful at dragging myself to the gym at least once a week doing my regular routine except for yesterday, I was evicted because gym had to close early. I have also maintained my half rice rule and so I think I have lost a lot of weight too. What i am very sure of though is that... wait for it... I now have a 28.5" waistline! *woot!* I have to continue what I am doing because it is working! *woot!*

I have bought myself a Speedo swimsuit the other day and I think that is the next big step! I will have to actually swim soon otherwise, the swimsuit purchase will be such a waste. I think I have taken for granted the fact that we have a pool. Some people would love to swim if only they had a pool. We do. And still I refuse to maximize it. Shame on me.

Aside from just eating half a rice, I do not deprive myself of other food, I do not think I want that anyway.

I am regularly reading the daily gospel through a website and I have also been participating in weekly bible studies to help me in my spiritual makeover. I think I am doing well. I think I am doing well... I just checked my weight, I think I am 59.9... not significant but that's okay. I will have to keep this up!

Hurrah!

Makeover Update

I have continued to do HipHop Abs with my sister and I am happy to say that I feel it working! I am on my way to the gym too. I now do 10 minutes on the stationary bike, 3KM on the treadmill (I am down to this because my legs are looking Herculean already)) and then I spend 21 minutes on the elliptical machine. I also do 10 reps on the dumbbells (Yup I am down to just 10 because my arms too are beginning to look like a man's) and I also do 20 reps of crunches.

I am not sure if I will still go back to swimming anytime soon. I would like to wait and see what will happen given my routine. I am not on a specific diet right now but I have cut down on my rice intake. I always cut my cup of rice to half regardless of the size of the cup. I hope all of this will pay off.

I am now less conscious about my weight. I also feel lighter and I feel happier. I hope that I will keep my momentum and that my skin is still supple enough so they do not sag. I have not been moisturizing for the longest time. My goal is to have beach-worthy body by next year! *woot!*

Delinquent Dieter!

I deserve a nice whipping! I ate two plates of pasta for DINNER!!! It's bad enough I ate two plates of carbs! I had to eat them for dinner!!! Also, I ate several Vienna sausages! They were chicken but still... I also ate a Takoyaki ball and I found it revolting! Wasted calories! I also ate some of the Mango Bravo, maybe not a full slice but still... *wah!*

How will I ever lose weight?! Grr...

Gosh, I wish I could just lose all the weight and get back to my old figure. I am getting really depressed. This process is taking too long. Boo.

Sedentary Existence

I think I am down to 29.5" but I have been bingeing on Mango Bravo which is never a good idea when on a diet. *sigh!*

Also, I was planning to go to the gym today but woke up at 1 in the afternoon! Thank goodness a friend of mine called me up, otherwise I would not have waken up! Gosh! I cannot go on living a sedentary life like this *haha*! I did however do HipHop Abs today. That's a good thing but... I had Spam for brunch and dinner, which is never ever a good thing. Why do I love Spam?!

I guess this is all I have to share right now. In fairness, the workout has become easier to do. Tomorrow is crunches and dumbbells day. :)

Lovin' Workin' Out

Did my dumbells tonight. Forgot that I have to do mat exercises today too. I better get cracking. Anyway, I would just like to say that all the workout is beginning to take its effect. I feel happier, I feel better about myself. My arms are firmer and... today I checked out Speedo swimsuits. I did not get any yet, but that is the first step right?!

I really hope to get back to swimming. I miss it.

I love the feeling of knowing that I worked out and I did my body a favor, besides, if there was a good time as any to work out, it's now. I have my reasons to try and get fit, one of those would be my clothes! *haha*

I am not sure if fitday.com is working but I am continuing the use.

Ciao!

HipHop Abs? Check!

I got to do my HipHop Abs Cardio workout today. That in spite my sister dozing. I decided to do it on mute. I do not need to hear the music anyway. I just need to follow their movements and so I did.

I guess I will do dumbells next before I hit the sack.

I am soh determined, more than ever to lose all the weight. This is the best recovery therapy that I know. Looking good!

BTW, I started treating my skin too. I have a 21-Day treatment of Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Recovery Concentrate. I am using this for 21 days straight to repair my skin. I hope it works well with Olay Regenerist. The last thing I want right now is a breakout.

Not now. Please not now.

I'm Back to the Gym!

I discovered today that I have an account at fitday.com. Apparently, I signed up a few months before I got married and then forgot about it *haha*. I found out I had an account because my username was taken already. I thought, what were the chances, I tried logging in and apparently, I was the one who took the name! Talk about being forgetful!

The site computes your calories consumed, calories burned, it keeps track of your measurement, etc. It's free and I am hoping I can update mine everyday. Hopefully, it will help me get fit.

I also joined swim.com but I do not see how it will get me back to swimming. I really need to get a new swimsuit.

After almost a month, I was able to hit the gym today. I only did 3km on the treadmill, 10 mins on the bike and 21mins on the elliptical machine. It was actually a great workout. I did not get so stressed after. I might adapt that workout instead of the 5km. I do not think I will be running on any fun run any time soon anyway. Plus, I do not like how my legs are beginning to look. They're getting too muscular. *ewww*

I have to do HipHop Abs today as well. I have to do that every other day from now on. I am thinking of hittng the gym three times a week because I found out they're open on Saturday mornings. *yehey!*

Boo...

I am getting really depressed. Though I woke up this morning and had a 29.1" waistline (it's in the morning so it's fake). I still feel bad because I just realized how big I have gotten over the last few months and yet in spite of this, I am too lazy to get back to the gym. I love to sleep more. Actually, I do have a window today to go to the gym. Hm... Maybe I will try to go today.

We will see. I want to lose the extra pounds real bad. I cannot begin to explain enough how bad I want to lose the extra pounds. Grr!

HipHop Abs!

Wedding emcee stint is done. My dress held all my flabs in all day! *yey* People said I looked nice so that's great! Still, I really want to lose more weight. I ate a Chicken Parmiagna tonight and I feel really bloated.

My sister and I started with HipHop Abs today. We hope to be able to keep this up. I will be doing dumbells again tonight. Tomorrow I will do crunches. I hope to be able run on Tuesday. One of these days I will get myself a new swimsuit so I can swim again! *yey*

I think my waistline is bigger again now!

Darn!

Waist-ed

Dailygospel.org is working again. i liked the gospel today because it was us being like children. Hm... Makes one think.

I checked my waistline this morning. I know it's like cheating because I am thinner on mornings but it makes me feel good so what the hell right? Waistline is now 29.1 inches! *woot*

BTW, I tried my pink dress yesterday and it fits! Not as comfortably as I would hope but it does fit! I just have to watch what I eat and hope hard that I will still fit by tomorrow! :)

I hope I will have fun tomorrow! :)

This is all I have to say now because I just woke up *haha*! Such a sloth, this changes next week because we will have classes again! Boo! I will be attending the wedding tomorrow, super excited! :) I hope it will be fun!

My sister and I plan to do HipHop Abs later, let's see how that will pan out. :)

Hooray!!!

I am 0.1 inch thinner. I know, it's no biggie and I do not know how long I can be 0.1 inch thinner but this is definitely a feat for me. I hope it continues.

We were going to do Hip Hop Abs today but did not get to do it again. *sigh* I plan to buy a new swimsuit so I can do laps again! *yey*

I think I can lose more pounds if I get into the water like I used to. I enjoy it. It's the taking a bath part and the mental preparation that the pool water if freezing that keeps me from jumping in! :)

I am soh going to swim! :)
