TH Day 1

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I’m trying hard to eat healthy again. Tried it before the Holiday Season and I got the hang of it for only 2 months then got back to my old eating habits. So as of today, I’m starting again, by having these for breakfast…

Who says old dogs can’t be taught new tricks? I’m not too old anyway. lol. Yeah! I know! Good luck to me. :D

Still Trying

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

As much as I want to lose more weight, I actually just aim to be healthier. It’s less stressful to aim that than aiming to slim down and weigh myself religiously. I don’t weigh myself often anymore. There’s not much improvement anyway. HAHA. Anyway, a friend takes the best weight loss pills I think is around. She lost a good number and I am kinda convinced that she really made a nice decision but still, I’m a bit scared to take that so to be healthier instead of slimmer, I still run. Still 2x a week. I will be running today with my husband, I hope this will be a routine now that his work is more relax. My diet includes only a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, lunch in moderation and light dinner at night. I am trying to avoid meat, I still eat beef and pork but I try to choose chicken or fish over them. I still have my dose of frapps once in a while but order without the whip. Still trying and thriving to be a health buff this 2010. :D

Clearer Vision

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Almost everybody knows my profession. I have friends who have high powered eye prescription, even my sister in law’s RX is actually -4.00D in both eyes. She hardly sees things within 2-3 feet. They constantly have their eyes checked and I’m glad they monitor it because we all know that it is very important. My cousin who lives in the states gets so busy with work she rarely uses her contacts, she wants to but she ends up wearing her glasses. Her glasses gets in the way sometimes she told me, and I have no idea why but I told her she has an option of making her vision clear without using anything and I told her of a friend I know who is about to have her clear vision with the help of Lasik Surgery Boston surgeons. My cousin got so interested we had to go online and use our yahoo messengers to talk more about it. She asked me what is Lasik and how does the procedure go?

Anyway, Lasik basically is procedure intended to reduce a person’s dependency on glasses or contact lenses. It stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser. A mechanical microkeratome (a blade device) or a laser keratome (a laser device) is used to cut a flap in the cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middlesection of the cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced.I got her so dazed from the time I told about the Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. So she asked the most important question, is it safe? It’s proven to be the safest procedure to eliminate refractive error. I just reminded her to consult experts like that of the Boston Laser so she can be sure of great results after. This is a sponsored review.

No Coffee Diet

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

I never blogged about the no sleeping night last October 4, we ate dinner at Gotti’s Megamall and I drank brewed coffee and I didn’t sleep the whole night so I wasn’t able to go to work the next day to get some sleep. My eyes were all puffy and I need anti-wrinkle cream to make the small lines soften. My age is really showing now that I’m 32. I need some maintenance to nourish my skin, luckily, I have oily skin which is not prone to too much wrinkling though I’m prone to pimples. I should watch my diet, so it’s my decision to have no coffee on my diet, it’s a HUGE sacrifice since I love coffee so much… I don’t want to be a hypocrite, I miss it so much!

Saving for the Victims

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

I was talking to my sister over at YM yesterday and she told me that they are actually trying to collect money to every colleague so they can donate money and help the victims of the typhoon. I know so many friends who are actually collecting goods and putting it in boxes to be shipped here for the victims.

I suggested that my sister collect coupons so they can save and purchase more. Since my sister is a pharmacist, I am suggesting that they donate medicines needed for the victims, so many victims have fevers, coughs and colds already plus some old people are also suffering from high blood because of the tensions they are experiencing because of the tragedy. She saw a lot of Drugstore coupon codes and I convinced her to use them, I hope she does. Aside from food and old clothes, medicines are also important in time of disasters.

Me and My Loots

Friday, September 25th, 2009

As I previously posted I’m into Asian Fashion nowadays and I purchased a few items online and tried wearing 2 of the items already. I have been losing weight and is still on my diet and exercise routine, I’m slowly smelling success and I don’t really need the best wrinkle cream today, I’m not problematic, I’m very lively and worries that I used to think about my health is now gone because I feel better, maybe because I’m more active and is sweating it out twice a week. But I still need to have my medical check up soon. Anyway, here are the loots and my version… Lookie!

Burning Update

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Yesterday was my first time to try the PA Gym to do my weekly work out and guess what? They don’t have a treadmill or any fat burning equipment that I can use to burn the calories I have over the weekends. I was disappointed and ready to consider taking something just to burn it but lo and behold, I thought of our stationary bike at home so I got in the car and went straight to our house to do my work out. But I never enjoyed the bike, I’m just never comfortable riding it, my butt hurts only after a few minutes so I only burnt 176 calories yesterday after 30 minutes on it. Now, I miss my old job more than ever. PA Gym fee is like 75 pesos an hour while at Aguinaldo it’s only 35 and they have a freakin’ treadmill!!! Where did you see a gym that doesn’t have a treadmill? Lame I know. Oh darn!

Interesting Fact

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

I attended a very interesting talk about Medical Marijuana that got me more interested as a medical professional especially that one of the diseases it helps cure is related to my profession, Glaucoma. I browsed online and saw a very helpful free online resource that talks about the benefits of marijuana in the medical field. MedicalMarijuanaGroup.com discussed the helpful uses in various cases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Glaucoma, severe pain, nausea and a lot more. Since we all know that marijuana is popular in the bad aspect of addiction, there are so many gray areas that need to be discussed and people should realize that there are good uses of marijuana. I believe that knowledge is power and being aware will benefit not only me but my patients.

Weight Gain Linked to Lack of Sleep

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Yeah, it’s almost midnight and I’m still awake, I should be sleeping after reading this article that I’m about to share to you but I need to finish a few more tasks before going offline. Anyway, here are some excerpts…

Having a hard time losing weight? Try getting a better night’s sleep.

Women who sleep five hours or less per night weigh more on average than those who sleep 7 hours, according to a study presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference this week.

The study found that women who slept for five hours per night were 32 percent more likely to experience major weight gain (defined as an increase of 33 pounds or more) and 15 percent more likely to become obese over the course of the 16-year study compared with women who slept seven hours.

Women who slept for six hours were 12 percent more likely to have major weight gain and six percent more likely to become obese compared with women who slept 7 hours a night.

New Running Shoes

Friday, September 11th, 2009

I’m looking for a better running shoes which I can wear every time I go for a spin in the gym. My fake pair of running shoes is taking a toll on me and I think it’s doing something bad on my knees and ankles because I feel tiny pain on them every time I’m on the treadmill. If I don’t do anything I might hurt my knees and feet very bad. Have you heard of the Skechers Shape ups? I was intrigued with the reviews and I’m actually considering of getting one for my work outs.

Skechers Shape-ups Shoes have the following benefits:

  • Improves posture
  • Strengthens the back
  • Firms buttocks mucsles
  • Reduces cellulite and tones thighs
  • Firms calf muscles
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Tightens abdominal muscles

Shape-ups are not like other athletic shoes.  This is a new way to walk and exercise.  As with any new exercise, start with moderation.  We recommend 25 to 45 minutes (based on your strength and existing exercise plan) on your first two days.  Increase your walking time in Shape-ups in 5 to 10 minute increments, depending on your comfort level and strength.

I’m really convinced that I should get a pair for myself. I believe I found my right gym shoes.
