My Sedentary Life

My Sedentary Life

I know , I have to get moving, be active and do something. But I can’t help but laze around the house, enjoy the coolness of the air, hear the sound of the rushing river and sleep… ZZZzzzzz… I don’t know what’s getting into me but I love to take afternoon naps these days- afternoon naps that can go on for 2 hours and a half! Wait, can that still be called a nap? :)

I really have to do something, I have to move around ,take a walk, exercise or maybe chase my Li’l boy around. With all these activities, I won’t need to get on treadmills and as a result I might lose a bit of weight and be more active. :)

Of Del Monte's Fit n Right Juice

Yes, my food trip is still on and this will already become a boring post if I enumerate once again everything that I put inside my mouth.

Anyways, have I found the answer to my food cravings already? I just love to eat. The problem is not my ‘eating’ but the result of eating so much of fatty and oily food. Yes, a thicker me and a bulging belly. I’ve found some encouraging advertisements from Del Monte’s Fit n Right where the endorsers testified that they’ve lost such and such pounds in just a few weeks. Well, who wouldn’t get encourage when they really trimmed down in their ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos. So, when I went to supermarket, I saw the product and I even saw a woman with dozens of Fit n Right bottles in her trolley. I’m sure she also got persuaded from the advertisement. But when I saw the price of the product it was 21 pesos per bottle and it’s recommended to drink 3 bottles a day! So, that makes it 63 pesos a day … and if you want to see results you have to use it for a month right? Then that will total to thousands of pesos a month! So, I passed by the juice section and shook off the idea of trying it out.

Fish Vs. Meat

Fish Vs. Meat

My food intake here has been quite different when I was in Thailand. Our family here has been more health conscious now which is a very good thing for me since my blood tests showed that I have a high level of cholesterol. So, here we have been eating a lot of fish which has been an exact opposite when I was in Thailand where I could go for months without eating fish. Yes, I know, that must have explained my high cholesterol.

Anyways, now I just need to add more oatmeal, veggies and fruits in my diet and I’m pretty sure my cholesterol level would go down. ..And I’m keeping my finger crossed that my weight would follow too. If so, I would need to think of resorting to effective diet pills to lose weight . I’m sure with more discipline and motivation, I’ll be naturally healthy, fit and trim.
