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…..

Pacman in my Google Browser

I was a little surprised when I saw pacman game in my google browser. Yet get excited and I've been trying clicking it thinking I could play on it. This game is kinda cute because Pacman have to get all the pellets by going through a maze and if the ghost gets too close, Pacman have to eat a power pellet so he can eat the ghost. Just like our journey in life, be a Pacman, let prayers serve to be our power pellet and be armed in fighting the ghosts or fear within us.

I JOINED SOCIAL SPARKS

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Blogs and Internet Social Marketing seem to be two of the biggest words I always heard when I came here to the USA. The idea became so well-defined when I got the chance to talk to my friend over the phone. My friend explained what the Blogs and Internet Social Marketing all about is. Through our conversations, she was able to convince me to start writing. I browsed the web site and went through with her web log. From then, I was able to have an idea on how to start with my web log. My friend also introduced me on how to get sponsors which is the best deal in web log. Yet starting by myself was not that easy so I went to her house in order to learn more. She was so kind to offering me a free tutorial lesson. She mentioned to me a website called SocialSpark and helped me on registering. From the name itself, I know that the website will surely heighten a sparks on my web log and networking. I visited their site right away and learned more about it. I found out that it was easy to join their site. The first thing I did was to Sign up for SocialSpark Then I read and studied theirCode of Ethics . For those who want to earn extra bucks while at home try to surf Social Spark website.

Spring Roll in Spring Time

My bestfriend’s birthday is coming up. So, I thought of making spring rolls. I have to choose what vegetables I have to use because most of his family members don’t eat vegetables. So I prefered to use cabbage and carrots; they like these two vegetables,(at least) and ground beef. Guess what? A day before my bestfriend’s birthday I made 25 pieces as a trial and guess what? His Granny was able to eat almost half of it. Everybody has surely like the spring roll I made with a sweet and sour sauce for dip. Hearing a comment such as “ohm…If you didn’t cook that dish, I don’t know if I can be able to eat a food like for the rest of my life”, sound like bells to my ears. If they ever like it, especially the one who made that comment, (he doesn’t eat vegetables) I am sure visitors would like my spring roll. Do you know how many did I make? Well, a hundred pieces and it's like a blockbuster movie that day. At the end of the day, the family decided to include my spring roll for family tradition dish, just like the cottage cheese that they always have.

HOW IT STARTED
I came here in Michigan on February 16 to venture for new adventure. As always, anywhere I go I would still look for Filipino food to eat. There's is one family who is so generous to let me stay at their house. Well, obviously I would say that bread, pizzas, mac n chiz, potatoes in different varieties: mashed, fries, baked, etc. are the common meal that they are having. I have a bestfriend here whom is so nice that would always bring me to Chinese restaurants during his rest days. A Week passed I thought I will survive not having Filipino foods. Waaaahh, I am craving for Filipino foods. Eating at a Chinese restaurant could ease the craving but still my taste bud is crying for Filipino dishes. So, this craving must END. I asked my bestfriend to drive to the fruit/vegetable market and grocery stores and buy the ingredients I needed for each menu that I have in my mind. The very first meal I cooked is vegetable stir fry, with a little help from Mama Sita’s ready mix seasoning, my stir fry veggies became a success, yipee!!! The next day, I fixed sweet and sour pork, I had to have the pork breaded with Italian bread crumbs before I fry it and mix in the sweet and sour mixture I made, of course, I love vegetable, so, I put carrots in it. My bestfriend's family and him really loves that and the next day he went to work he started bragging to his coworker that I AM AN EXCELLENT COOK, whew!!! So, that started my cooking career,hahahaha
