Fine and Dandy

Our weight loss challenge ended last April 19 and I can't believe I survived! Yay!! I should give myself credits for working hard. I didn't expect to lose a lot of weight during this challenge. I've started at 62 kgs and my final weight after the 8 weeks challenge is 58 kgs. I have lost a total of 4 kgs during the process. You can check my IG account to view my before and after photo. I had some rough weeks but the challenge made me changed a lot of my bad habits. There are a lot of times when I just want to nap during my break (I just love napping so much that it takes me an hour napping haha! I know, it’s not a nap already) but I opted to exercise. I woke up early to jog even though I slept late the other night. I was really highly motivated to be active whenever possible. Amazingly, I've been drinking more water a day (2-3 ltrs). I've been taking my bfast smoothie every single day without a missed and I've been practicing to eat slowly. I have a food diary ...

My update is super late since our weight loss challenge ended last week. Anyhow, I can still clearly remembered our 7th weigh-in. Are you familiar with the 5 stages of grief? The stages where you got into a break-up or loss of a loved one? These are: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. I got this one while watching the RomCom K-Drama "My Love from Another Star" (haha!). Well, it was somehow relevant to this post. My point here is, I am depressed! I have gained .8 to my previous weight! waaaaaaaa. I've seen it coming though. I was totally reckless and I know it was totally my fault, my FAULT *cries* . The thought of gaining a little weight is so depressing to me. I should be thankful that it was just .8, right? I should do better next time. Fighting!Fighting!Fighting!Fighting! Never ever give up!!! a little something to cheer myself up. http://fitnesstreats.tumblr.com/post/29396922620

Yay! The 6th week weigh-in was great! I've lost a total of 1.2 lbs weeeeeeee I wasn't expecting that. And Oh, I pretty messed up my week today, I was idle and I feel so blue. We will have our 7th weigh-in tomorrow and I am nervous already waaaaah, anyway, fingers crossed* Not relevant to this post but I better share it. I've been like this hmm I mean, I can relate to this.  http://pleasestopbeingsad.tumblr.com/post/71227952558

I am so happy that finally I have lost 2 lbs on our fifth weigh-in. *progress is progress* I remembered last time I did not lose weight. My current weight now is 128.4 lbs and my weight before I started this challenge was around 136.4 lbs, so I have lost a total of 8 lbs already which is a total of 4kgs. weeeeeeeee I am super happy! I have a meal plan but you know sometimes I can't follow it because of food shortage hahaha! we are not rich, ya'know. But I always opt to healthy alternatives like protein rich food: eggs and tuna (sardines). Plus, I have crazy cravings once in a while which I blame to hormonal changes or maybe, I just lack discipline. hehe  Here's a sure way to resist my cravings. I will, I mean I should try to remember this 4 Ds. http://fitnesstreats.tumblr.com/post/80673152400

Yay! 4th week had passed and I was really anxious of my result. The thing here, I forgot to be mindful with my eating habits (i'm trying to). I was having fun chatting with a very dear friend at their house (since I have to attend a General Assembly of Ficco and she's also a member), and when we had our lunch, I forgot I shouldn't eat "lechon". Gaaaaah! It was a Sunday and I considered it to be my cheat day (eat lots of YOLO meals, hahaha!). Anyway, when I got a chance to visit the office, I hurriedly went to the Nutrition Club to check my fat % and weight. I was super relieved that I just gained .4 to my weight and .8 to my fat %, but I still have to get rid of it. Amazingly, after the 4th weigh-in last Saturday, I retained my current weight. I did not lose nor gain pounds!Yeheeeey! I have to take this mindful eating seriously, It's hard to maintain a new habit, shifting my mindset and getting out of my comfort zone. I know I can do it, but it is hard when y...

My 3rd week of this challenge is fine. I'm still proud that I have lost 2 lbs. It wasn't the way I wanted it to but it's still a progress. I have done well this week, I make sure to exercise 5x/day through cardio. Maybe because I have had refined carb consumed this week, I felt lethargic after eating it actually, I shouldn't eat sweets and refined carbs!!!! I will look for more ways to burn these restored fats. I'll make sure these fats will weep. I still have 5 more weeks to go! I've messed up my plan this week ugh! I will make it up, I have to!!!! http://teenshealthandfitness.tumblr.com/post/79854511114/life-of-pie-teenshealthandfitness-tumblr-com.

Yay!The week had gone by so fast. The 2nd week was over and I'm guilty that I have only lost .4 to my previous weight. I've been to the office this week so I was really busy, super busy that I forgot to update my challenge. Anyway, here's an update: Drink Herbalife Smoothie and follow strictly my program - I've been drinking my smoothie every morning, my day is not complete without it really. I have managed to have smoothie bfast for 2 weeks straight. yehey! Ive been trying to follow my program however I've been to the office and temptations are everywhere. I can feel that my period is coming so I was craving for siomai, japanese siomai to be exact. I have fed myself with lots of "bawal".  No sweets, bread and sodas - I managed to have no sodas for 2 weeks straight now. I managed to hold myself on bread and sweets haha! I am so proud of myself. My father would always bought bread, my family love simple carbs and I can't do anything about it.  Dr...

I had been sick for four days straight. I was a little unstable by the next day, that's why I stopped making weekly challenges since my body can't handle the stress. But now, that I have gained back my strength, I have to start making weekly challenges! Well, since we have this weight loss challenge, I will align my goals to this challenge. I started yesterday and I will continue it until this week ends. For this week, below are my challenges: Health: Drink Herbalife Smoothie and follow strictly my program. No sweets, bread and sodas. Drink more water at least 2 ltrs a day. Pilates for Beginner this week  This is all for now, I don't want to stretch myself too much. I should take things slow. right? http://arthlete.tumblr.com/ "Inspiration does not exist. It does not exist for the lazy. For the no-passionate. For the idle. It only exists for the hard-working. The diligent. The zealous and determined. Inspiration exists, but it must find you working...

It’s a challenging part for me when it comes to motivation. I forgot to pull myself sometimes and I drag myself deep down when I shouldn’t, I know it's wrong. What I do now is I really try to look for motivating quotes/message to remind myself not to give up. Staying on track takes a lot of self discipline, focus and inspiration.   Inspiration and positivity is possible however it was so hard to be positive when the people around you is pulling you down, saying negative things, like you can’t make it. But instead of thinking about all these negative ions around me I would tell myself that this would be my inspiration to do more, to be better, and to reach my ultimate goal. They will be shocked in the end that I did make it. This would be a sweet revenge to those people, right?  Here's a perfect guide to stay motivated ^_^  source

source Hey there, as I have mentioned in my previous post regarding my weight  lose program using Herbalife products , I am now here to present an update. I know this is a bit late, but I was making sure I keep track on my progress every month.  Before I weigh around 138 lbs and now I am at 126 lbs already!! I have lost a total of 12 lbs in just 3 months.  I have lost that much without exercise, how much more if I put an effort in doing cardio exercises at least 3x a week. wew. I am so happy, I feel lighter already and my friends told me that I look good and sexy than before haha! I know I am not now at my ideal weight which is at 112 lbs but guess what I am getting there, weeeeeeee. I just have to take it day by day and those days will add up in the long run. I am positive. I have lost my motivation and feeling out of sorts lately but I have to pull myself up. I was kind of slightly ill this past few weeks actually so I forgot about my program....

I've started using this product last year when an office friend introduced me to try the product. I was really worried about my health that time. I have a lot of health problems, maybe because the nature of my work and my bad eating habits. I am overweight, have headaches like almost everyday, low energy, suffer from constipation and dysmenorrhea. At first I was kind of hesitant to use the product. Later on, when one of my office friend gained result from using the product, I was surprised, so I decided to use it. The Herbalife product that I was taking that time was the Herbalife Shake. Since I was planning to lose weight and it was a meal replacement which means if you want to gain result you have to substitute one or two of your three meals with the healthy meal nutritional shake.  That time, I have substitute my lunch with the nutritional shake. At the office there was a weighing scale so I make sure to measure my weight every week. After a week using the product I hav...
