When people ask me of my age these days, it usually takes me a few seconds before I can answer. It does seems like I got lost with time and can’t keep up with my age. LOL! Or maybe, it’s sort of being on a denial stage in which we just try to forget our age and move on with our lives.

As I see the photos of many celebrities, it does seem that they don’t look their age. They look younger.. look at Madonna, who could ever think that she’s already going to be 54 years old this year? They might use airbrush makeup  or other stuff to make them look younger, but it’s obvious that they really take care of themselves and try to be forever young.

I haven’t done  anything for my ‘weight loss yet’. We just came back from our trip and so, I thought that this Monday will be a good day to start . Yes, another Monday huh?

And since I can’t do the juice fast yet because of the medication I’m taking ( that must be taken with meals or else I’ll get sick in the stomach), I’ll just do portion control and choose healthier meals. I will also start with  Turbo fire. I’ll do this for   2 weeks (until I’m off my medication) and then start back with the Juice.

So, that’s my plan.. The Plan… I have to do this successfully…

For many of us, holiday and diet doesn’t go together very well. Whenever we’re on a holiday we tend to munch on junk food and go to the nearest fastfood for lunch or dinner. We just had a semi-holiday last week. We actually went to Bangkok for ‘business’  but since we finished our main agenda in a day, we had a couple of days extra for  a ‘holiday’. It would have been nice if we went on a package tour or bus tours but since we were on a very limited budget, we went around on our own.

As for food, we had fast food and even a 7-11 dinner. You know the microwavable meals from 7-11 stores . We found them convenient and very cheap. I know that was a very unhealthy holiday especially with our food choices at the time.  But  they’re the food  that suits our budget and our palate. Yes, lame excuse huh? Anyways, I’m just wondering when will be the time when I get to choose healthy food over the more nutritious ones. But  then it won’t come easy and  I know I have to start with small baby steps at a time. Now, I just have to actually DO it!
