Thought I lost 3 lbs…

“Oh yes, I lost three lbs.!” I told my friend D when we were talking over the phone. However, guess what? It was a false alarm. I was just starving that time. Therefore, I tried to find out my weight again after having my dinner, and that was it, still the same weight 145 pounds. (blushing). Actually, I am having hard time in losing my weight. I cannot even do the No Meal after Six because of our eating habits at home. Just like when the housemates would agree to grill spare ribs for dinner, and this happens every week. Most of the times, when we grill spare ribs we usually finished at 7pm or 8 pm. So, while grilling I keep on mumbling that I will not eat, or I will just have crackers. However, the food temptation was so strong. The smell of the barbecue sauce was so inviting and the mouth-watering look of the grilled pork spare ribs was so tempting. It made me grabbed a plate and joined the housemates. I don’t have a choice, anyway (alibi, lol)

Weight Loss, ‘Can’t Wait: The Journey

This is a quick post just to show the extra baggage I have.

It's not that I'm proud of having extra baggage but because I feel that this will serve as my moving force of pursuing on my journey to lose weight.

Weight Loss, ‘Can’t Wait: The Journey

This isn’t happening to me. I am outgrowing my clothes and when I checked my weight I gained 20lbs just for my one and a half year stay here in the US. Hmmmm.. one big reason could be is because I eat fast (I swear I can’t help it). Even if I’m not hungry, I want to shovel everything into my mouth in less than a minute, while in front of the laptop watching Filipino movies and making lessons. But my brain doesn’t know that my stomach is full until twenty minutes after it actually is. As such, I could stuff myself silly before realizing I didn’t need to consume as much as I did. I must do something on how to lose weight. My ideal weight has always been 120-125lbs. I must set up a plan to start reaching my goal. So, let me share how did I start this journey of losing weight.

My first attempt of losing weight was just a month ago. I tried eating half of what’s on my plate, wait ten minutes, then continue to eat if I’m still hungry. I never want to feel full – ever. That’s when I know I’ve eaten too much. Then, I bought a slimming tea from a Chinese Store and an Extreme Fit Game for half a price (I found it at craigslist). I did aerobics and yoga at home each week. But I felt that it’s not helping at all so I added another routine. Walk the Walk. We all know that we burn calories when we walk so for two days now I have to stop at the mall and just walk for two to three hours before going home, at least with matching window shopping..lol…

Well, have to stop here first and will give you updates next month…..
