I have tried somehow to cut on carbs and calories. I know that these two sinful words have great impact one’s physique, mine in particular. Abstaining from any of these is equivalent to getting an instant Lipofuze and since I opt for a natural method of shedding my excess lbs, I couple the abstinence with a walk from our hospital’s basement upto the fourth floor.

After several months of being away from one another, me and my former officemates got together. After seeing the Ironman 2, we headed to a Teriyaki Boy for some tummy fillers. While gratifying our gastronomic cravings, we also filled each other with the latest happenings with our lives. If there is one thing common among us friends, that is our bodies getting wider and wider. We started to think of cutting down on our food intake to lose the unwanted baggage. And if after all the attempts to shake the fats off seem to be futile, will try to pop in the most effective diet pills to get our shapes in shape.

As I was about to leave the patient’s room, she again raised her concern about obesity and her desire to lose some pounds. She asked me about fat burners that work and to her dismay I did not give her any information about it. I just reinforced my previous health teaching about lifestyle modification. I told her that she has to work her way to becoming physically and emotionally fit.

For the first time in 10 years I get to enjoy the long weekends. November 2 has been declared a holiday. Accompanying my addiction to Stairway to Heaven, the local version, is a menu suitable for a couch potato like me. My interest in refreshing my memory about its original Korean version has been awakened. I am doing the marathon of it now on YouTube. So while having a recap of this tragic melancholy, I am stuffing myself with foods that will surely go straight down to my belly. With my physically demanding work and with special consideration on my budget, I do not think I could hit the gym anytime soon. So instead of jumping on the bandwagon of shedding off love handles overnight, I do my cardio workout in the hospital. All I have to do is to run while wheeling the patients to and from the laboratory for their work ups. These short sprints are absolute fat burners without draining my pocket

We were sent to our Makati main office today  for some work immersion.

I was excited not because of it but because I have the reason to go to Gold’s Gym in Glorietta afterwards.  It’s Friday, it means it’s Yogilates day!

I felt so stretched out.  The routines are not as easy as they look when they are being performed by the instructor.  But it’s all worth it.  This is the class that does not require leg work (yeah, my feet are still swelling) but yet again, it focuses on strengthening your core while releasing your body tensions.

The challenging routines although make your muscle shake really do not cause soreness. You can just feel some muscles have been work out or stretched, so to speak, but it is not painful.

I wish I could do yoga everyday.  It’s really invigorating especially when you have a sauna bath afterwards.
