Getting Old on my 30s

Getting Old on my 30s

old woman

Am I really getting that old? I can’t tolerate much noise anymore, I seem to be so forgetful and absent minded, I can’t seem to relate much with the young people these days and guess wughat, I already have a lot of gray hair jutting out from my head.

I like it when someone takes out those gray hair . It’s either my hubby or my li’l girl pulls them out. But as they pull them out, and show me their ‘harvest’  I can’t help but realize the fact that I’m really getting old. At least for women, it’s not common to grow bald when ageing or else we will all panic and be busy looking for a remedy for baldness.

What should I do to stop ageing?

I know I can never stop ageing, since God designed us to grow old physically, mentally and every aspect of our lives. But for beauty’s and health’s sake, we can reduce the visible signs of ageing.

  • We can color our hair to cover the grey hair
  • We can moisturize our skin to prevent it dryness and sagging. My Mom’s 68 years old now but she doesn’t look her age. Her secret? she’s been using Oil of Olay for ages.
  • We can drink a lot of milk rich in calcium to prevent bone defect or osteoperoisis  ( and therefore be slouched) as we grow older.
  • We can eat healthy food and exercise to be fairly active and alert.
  • Smile…laugh and be joyful in everything. Smiling will make  us look younger. :) As the Bible says, the joy of the Lord is our strength!

There are just so many things that we can do. Oh, posting about this makes me feel like a 50 year old instead of a 30 ++ woman.

Day 8 – Almost Giving Up

Day 8 – Almost Giving Up

It’s weird huh? My preceding posts were very motivated and excited but suddenly today, I feel like giving up and breaking my diet. I guess, it’s due to the fact that I felt bored with the food I’ve been eating. It’s actually my fault, I haven’t made my food interesting enough since I’ve been eating the same food for 2 days now. So, for tonight and the next few days, I have to think of different dishes to add ‘excitement’ on my meals.

I can’t give up for now since, I’ve already lost a few kilos .. I can’t reveal any numbers as of now. I’ll have to keep it to myself and wait and see till Day 12.

Of Juices, Miracle Juices and Juicers

Of Juices, Miracle Juices and Juicers

Yesteday, when we were in Taiping, Sentral for the MPH sale, I was tempted to buy the book entitled, ” Miracles Juices ” . But when I looked at the price of the book, I was not so convinced of the price since the book doesn’t have a discount tag on it.

I was thinking that maybe after my diet, I’ll have to make it a point to drink a lot of natural and fresh juices, since I’m not so much into eating fruits. Of course, eating fruits will still be better than drinking them since all the fiber and vitamins are somehow minimized due to the blending process. But, it’s better than nothing. I just hope that this could jumpstart my way for healthy living. :)

I remember, my father used to make fruit juices for us and he would experiment with our juicer. But I think our juicer didn’t have a very good quality since it didn’t last very long. Now, I’ve already  lost count of how many Juicers my mom bought. But I guess I’ve heard there are  good quality Juicers that are available online. You might want to check them out in this site.

Anyways, we still don’t have any plans to buy a juicer but for now, I’ll be satisfied to buy the real fruit juices sold in the supermarkets.
