At this point I think I need drastic measures to get my health and beauty regimen. Since I’ve let go of my diet I noticed it is not only my waistline that has gone to hell, but also my skin. I used to have very smooth and clear skin and now…yuck!!! This is why I really hope I will win this contest… I definitely need the loot!!!! (more…)

Walking My Way Fit. June 26, 2009

I think I’ve figured it out: the reason why I’ve gained so much weight in the last few months is because of my increasingly sedentary lifestyle. I blame Plurk for it, hehe.

Seriously, I think that making little changes, such as walking more, will really start to make a difference in my life, or at least I’m hoping. Perhaps something to make it easier for me is if I had a product like the new Skechers Shape Ups, which is described as “a unique trainer which optimizes exercise by simulating the effects of barefoot walking”. These shoes reportedly aim to promote weight loss, improve muscle tone and posture, as well as get in shape by simply walking in them. While others may argue that walking alone can equate to weight loss, these shoes are designed specially to simulate the natural movements of barefoot walking thus utilizing the full natural movement of feet, which allows for more muscles to work, thus giving you a built-in workout.

I definitely wanna see if this will make a difference in my weight loss regimen.

Suggested retail price: Php 4,590. Available in Skechers Trinoma, Robinsons Place Manila, Market! Market!, Glorietta 5, Festival Mall.

It’s been almost a month since I decided to make major changes in my life but so far,  I have not done good, and it’s as frustrating as all hell. I still have lost no weight and I have not started living more healthily. Argh.

Take two.

Its about time.

I need to make real changes in my life. What better way to start than physically. I remember when I read the book Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert, part of her journey to nurturing body and soul was taking time out to eat. I’ve done that…a little bit too much I have to admit! After going through a dark night of the soul, a beautiful term I’ve embraced since going through a period of depression some time ago, I went overboard in caring so much for what I want that I forgot to take things easy. So here I am, so many pounds more than I should be. So I am taking the first step in getting back in gear. (more…)

Taking it Day by Day. June 1, 2009

I had grand plans for 2009.

However, today breaches the sixth month mark of the year and I have yet to fulfill these plans. To be fair, I have done a lot of other things that were not in my original plans. While I am grateful for all the extra blessings that have come my way, I have to admit living life to the fullest can be a challenge.

However, despite the difficulties and trials that may come my way, I am making a conscious attempt to be well. This is my attempt at holistic wellness. Come join me as I journey through days as I nurture my body, soul and spirit.
