Ten Principles of Losing Weight

Yes, I am taking it seriously ..lol,

My mom brought home a magazine .. " Health at Home , International Journal of Better Living and one article is about losing weight.

But of course , once I read it I found the urgency of sharing it and post it here.

This is what i got...( I included my comments hehehe)

"Ten Principles of Losing Weight"

1. Think long term. Shortcuts and quickie plans never last

I always thought that once I escape 3 meals i could lose 2 kilos hahaha!!!!

2. Do it for yourself. Improving your health and energy are better motivation than a coming class reunion

Oh well, we are planning to have a class reunion next year, maybe it would be a bonus then to have a slimmer look..

3. Prepare the way. Don't rush into a diet before you are ready for long- term changes. Keeping a diet journal. will help you become more aware of what you eat and why.

I should consider doing it. Since, as of now, I only limit my self to eating half cup of rice ( but I could still not resist eating chocolates haaaiiizzz)

4. Think fruits, grains, legumes, and vegetables. In the standard American diet, more than 50 percent of calories came from fat, sugar and alcohol

chocolates....chocolates........

5. Control portion sizes. Use a smaller plate. Serve yourself smaller portions and put away leftovers before you eat. At restaurant, ask for a doggie bag instead of cleaning your plate

We are using big plates hehehe....I might suggest to mom to have a smaller plate then (anyway she is also want to lose weight hehe)

6. Eat three meals a day. Eating at regular intervals will not send your body into a deprivation(starvation) mode, which may cause you to eat and binge more.

Ohh did I read it right? three meals a day!!!!! okay.. no comment hehe

7. Maintain your program. Successful weight - lose managers realize that they are not on a temporary diet - they are starting a permanent new lifestyle.

8.Exercise. It's fun and keeps you flexible. Activity is the key to successful weight control, particularly in middle age.

Emphasizing middle age hehe .....

9.Don't overdo it. Don't push yourself to the higher end of the target range. A brisk one-hour walk a day is a terrific goal for steady, healthy weight management.

Yaah, I should not push my self to the limit...

10. When you think activity - think "play". Walking the dog, gardening, yard work, household chores, sports, bicycling, and playing with kids are all productive activities. How do kids exercise? They play! You can have fun too.

Jumping rope and badminton with Clarence might do for now!

This principle are so simple, though requires a lot of Self discipline.

Gentle with myself

I just started my "Losing weight" plan a while ago, and got this message from my Facebook account.

Hayy!!! I should realize it by now that in order for me to achieve my Weight goal, I should BE GENTLE with Myself!! Thank God for knocking my head!!

This will be the first on my self imposed rule, a Self imposed Policy, a motivation now and maybe forever...

And of course the other one..BE KIND and SUPPORTIVE . I will surely highlight it on my journal!

Have a Happy Wednesday everyone!!!

It's tiring

I was doing a little stretching exercising this morning when this thought popped up. Whooaaa, I am tired of being fat. I wanna try being slim. I wanna try having a little tummy, I wanna try stuff with an S or XS size.

Hahaha!!! (I just only realized it today????? )Nope, It was a wish before but now I believe it is a MUST to do now..LOL!

Well come to think of it. I should now take it seriously. I am tired of being heavy. How about being slim for a change, right? Nyay, of course, it will not take me one day to become thin. I did not become fat overnight anyway!!! (haaayyy...chocolates!!!)

Yes I know It's going to take time. It's going to take a lot of effort, motivation, and focus and of course SELF DISCIPLINE.

I should change my perception. I always try to lose weight but after quite some time I procrastinate. I should take it seriously not for any other reason but to be healthy and to have more choices of all girl stuff that I mostly like.

Yes, I always lose weight, always trying to lose weight but then again, I'd gain the weight back.Oohh, It's a ferocious cycle.(how bad!!)

Hayyy!!!! It's tiring. It’s really tiring.( haha!! what a sentiment!!!)

It must be a self imposed RULE now, I should try..ohhh not try I SHOULD lose weight and make it forever. And I will do it TODAY not tomorrow, or next month or next year but TODAY!!!!(focus..focus....LOL).

(wish me luck!!) .. wink”,)

The search is over.

It was Saturday morning when Ana found out that her Kitten is missing. She went to her neighbor, to the market, to the park, and to the place where she always spent her time most.... with her Kitten. But Kitten is nowhere to find out.

Ana felt sad. Kitten is her best friend, her buddy. She loves Kitten so much. She thinks she could not live without Kitten.

A year or so had pass by, but Ana never found Kitten. Until one day, Ana met Dada. Dada and Ana became friends, best friends, best buddies. They live and enjoy life together. But Ana still want to know where Kitten is. She did everything to find Kitten.

One day, when Ana went to the park, she saw Kitten. But Kitten is not alone. Kitten has another playmate, might be Kitten's new best friend, new buddy.

Kitten looks very happy. And Ana realized she is no longer a part of Kitten's life. Ana leaves without approaching Kitten. Ana's search for Kitten is over.
