Trying to be Fit

Unlimited Coffee

admin — Thu, 17 May 2012 16:44:29 +0000

I don’t know what happened to me but it seems that I’m so much into coffee these days. In my kitchen, you can find different kinds of coffee on top of my oven. Nescafe’ 3 in 1, IndoCafe, Davidoff, Corn Coffee, Korean Coffee, Arabica Coffee, Taiping Coffee.. and etc. LOL! Oh, I didn’t buy them all, I got some from my friends. So, every day, I’m in a ‘dilemma’ of which coffee should I drink. But this isn’t too much of a problem since I ‘try’ them out at different times of the day. Oh, I’m becoming a certified ‘coffeholic’ and now, I’m wishing I’ll get a new coffeemaker soon. I guess that’s better than looking for the best fermenter to make wine. :)

Motivation Poster

I chuckled when I saw this photo posted on my friend’s FB wall. It’s not just cute but somehow I can relate with that. I even have my own version of this ( motivation poster) pasted on my closet. There I printed my photo taken right after our wedding. Did that motivation picture help? Well, I haven’t attained my goals yet, but sometimes it does remind me that I still have a goal. But the only question that remains a mystery is WHEN I can attain that goal.

Walking At Home with Leslie Sansone

admin — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:42:29 +0000

I just download another video exercise entitled Walking At Home with Leslie Sansone. I tried out this video yesterday and I quite like it. It’s very light ( compare with Turbo Fire) and I guess it’s a great start for me as I try to ease my way back to exercise. One thing that I like about is that it doesn’t require a lot of space since you’ll just be ‘walking’. So, I didn’t have rearrange my furniture and rustic table lamps before exercising and I can even just do it right in front of the computer.

Yesterday I ‘walked’ for 2 miles and I’m aiming to finish the 4 mile ‘walk’ anytime next week. I hope that after this, I’ll be much ready for a more rigorous exercise.

Next Video to Watch

admin — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 03:19:50 +0000

Here is another video that I would want to watch. I’ll make a promise to myself that I’ll watch this tonight after I put the kids to sleep. The title of this video is ‘How to Lose Weight Without Losing Your Mind’. That’s quite an amusing title but it does feel like that sometimes especially if you struggle both in the physical and emotional side of it.

Anyways, why don’t you try to watch it too and tell me what you thing about it.

Sorting Out Clothes

admin — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 03:06:35 +0000

It’s time of the year to sort out clothes again. I’ve been keeping a few of my favorite clothes like my jeans and cashmere cardigan-like jacket for the longest time with the hope that I might be able to wear them again. For me, keeping these clothes would seem to mean that there is still ‘hope’ for me to wear them again. But now, I’m having second thoughts on that. LOL! I think these clothes are really just occupying more space in our closet.

So, today I’ll sort our clothes again and I think I will have to be more ‘generous’ in letting go of more clothes to give more space in our closet.

Everything French

admin — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 02:56:02 +0000

I just saw my ex-classmate’s photos taken in Paris, France. I surely ‘envy’ her for travelling the world. She’s part of an international organization that gives them the opportunity to travel. So, this month she’s in France and I saw all her photos of the beautiful scenery of Paris. Everything is truly authentic from the French furniture to french food. Of course, I also drooled as I saw photos of the food. I can only wonder how they taste like.

I’m excited for my friend and I always look forward to here her photos from all over the world.

Refusal to Change

admin — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 02:48:34 +0000

Change is what I need, if I really want to be successful in my health and weight loss journey. But I guess, I just refuse to change or maybe I am afraid to change. Because being healthier will mean saying good bye to all the delicious processed food and the like. I’m afraid to say good bye to my unhealthy lifestyle which I know is bad for me.

Though, I’ve improved in a lot of ways now like not drinking coke as often as I used to, not including hotdogs in our monthly grocery and etc, but I haven’t come to a point yet in which I could fully embrace fruits and vegetables and saying good bye to all processed food. Sigh!

For a few days now, I was thinking to watch the food documentary ‘ Food that Kills’, but I never got to watch it because I know I won’t like what I’ll see.

What Happened to Day 1?

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 08:55:54 +0000

I was so motivated while writing my previous post. If I have followed up on Day 1, it should have already been my 4th day of being on a juice fast right now. But sadly, I wasn’t able to do so. It does seem that for a few days now, I’ve been resolving to start the day after but nothing seems to be happening. I already feel a bit discouraged and I guess, it’s because the ‘juice fast’ has already become so difficult for me to do.

Oh, I don’t know whether I still have to go on my never ending resolve to start Day 1 ( but that’s not happening at all) or change my weight loss plan. Sigh! Just now I just read an article by Neil Haboush , regarding weight training tips. Hmm.. I might start exercising again and doing calorie count. But I’m not sure .. I’ve been trying to lose weight for years now but it just seem that I don’t have the discipline and the motivation anymore. Sigh!

Maybe tonight, i will be watching those documentary films about food again. I remember I was so motivated to do juice fast over a month ago because I was inspired by these documentary films. I’ll do that again and see if it’ll work.

Day 1 Starts Now

admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 05:12:09 +0000

I’m tired of grumbling and complaining about how it seems I’ve gained so much weight in the past weeks, how I feel the bulges whenever I sit down while doing nothing about it. So, I finally decided to do something about it NOW!

So ladies and gentlemen, Day 1 starts now. Never mind, if I haven’t psyched myself up for days or not being able to go to the grocery for my supplies or not being able to eat my favorite food before the “DIET’ (LOL!).. but anyways, I will start NOW and I will be doing this until the first week of May!.. And for the nth time… ” All the best to me!” hhehehe!

The Physician’s Social Network

admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 05:00:00 +0000

I’ve just found about Doximity. The new network for physicians. I find this quite cool since it only caters to physicians and therefore it’s very helpful in their profession. Imagine a site in which one can keep in touch with a large network of physician all over the country and maybe all over the world. Currently, 6% of the physicians in the US are connected to this network. If you are a doctor or knows anyone who’s one, then maybe you can point them out to this network. How easy could it be for doctors to find out a specialist in a certain place with just a click of the mouse. Just like for example if one is searching for Jefferson Edwards MD , then Doximity is the place to find that physician.
