Resist Coca Cola

It's been a week since I did not drink any Coca Cola. I feel lighter and my palate is not looking for it. I ate at Shakey's today and I ordered ice tea instead of Coca Cola, next time I will order mineral water instead. This way, I will be able to loose a little weight.

Children's Playground at SM Megmall

I usually patronize mall that have a great children's playground that is reasonable cheap. I went to SM Megamall because the playground there offers an unlimited prize of Php300 plus Php20 for the yaya. My total bill is only Php640 and my kids will be able to play to their heart's desire.

Children's playground is at the 2nd floor beside Forever 21 at the building B. It's actually below the SM cinemas.

1 Liter of Ice Tea

I'm slowly weaning myself out of drinking sweet drinks. I was able to resist my temptation of ordering coke at Mann Hann, SM Megamall.

I ate 2 pieces of Purefoods hotdog and 1 cup of rice before heading to SM Megmall. That's about 3pm.

Send my two children to Kevin's playround at the building B, below the cinemas.

Then went to Mann Hann to eat some dinner. I ordered my favorite sweet and sour pork, green seafood soup and 1 cup of rice. Ojie joined me for dinner. This was about 6 pm.

It's a good thing that when the server asked for drinks, I just ordered 1 liter of ice tea, which my brother and I shared.

Hopefully, tomorrow I will just drink water.

After dinner, we went to Coffee Bean..there I ordered a Large Double Chocolate Shake which is about Php 155.00 and a pistachio cake at Php135. The bill at the coffee shop and at the Mann Hann restaurant is almost the same. Crazy food prizes in Metro Manila.

3 Days of No Coke or any Soda

It's already 3 days that I have not tasted any soda drink. I'll try to make this into 7 days. What I notice before that once your palate is used to it, you won't look for it anymore.

Had a great time spending the day with Laura, my eldest daughter. This serves as my exercise since they are very active.

My dinner consisted of 3 slices of Mah-ling luncheon meat and 2 cups rice. Right now, I'm eating some chocolate cookies from Fleur de Lys and small bread buns with luncheon meat and Lady's Choice sandwich spread. I ate already two buns.

Watching Trip na Trip on television and I got an instant crush on Kevin la Pena. He's hot, hot, hot.

Still no Discipline

I still go to sleep around 6 am and although I know that this is unhealthy, I still do it.

Well today, I ate 2 pieces of chicken and 2 cups of rice and some vegetables for lunch.

Had 2 sticks of banana cue for snacks.

I usually buy 1 kilo of lanzones or any fruit. This serves as my midnight snack or sugar cravings at night.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Coffee Shop at 3rd Level Trinoma






Where to go after a hearty lunch? Coffee shop anyone.

Tried Coffee Bean Coffee Shop at the 3rd level of Trinoma Mall. The coffee shop is huge with many available seats. Our first option was to go to Starbucks but their location is not that comfortable. It's located along the main pedestrian lane and the place is so small. At Coffee Bean, the airconditioned area is quite huge and its better to sip coffee in an airconditioned place in a hot tropical city like Manila.

I ordered their double chocolate non coffee blended drink, around Php 160. Delicious.

Double Fudge Cake is not good. What's good about the cake is just the icing but the cake is itself is a disaster. Php 135

Pistachio Cake - Laveeeeeeeeet. Php 135





Went home around 5pm since my sister has still an appointment with her friend.







I love my Hyundai Starex Van

When I was still driving a 4x4 Honda CRV, I usually notice that there's a lot of Hyundai Starex on the road. I thought there are a lot of rich people living in Metro Manila since the price tag of a Starex van is about 1.8 milllion pesos.

When I was able to save enough money and was able to buy a second hand black starex van, I was able to understand it why people love the van.

SPACIOUS.

I'm a big person and all my siblings are also big as me and we are able to fit in this van comfortably.










The pictures are taken while we were sending to Laura to Miriam College.

My 55" Waistline

This is my first post to my own personal diary, documenting my weight loss if I have the discipline.This blog will also feature links of news, stories and happenings that interests me.

I am 37 years old and i'm overweight. I need to take care of myself fast since I have 2 adopted kids that I adore so much. I really don't know why I became this big but there is a saying that "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT".

I will document all the food that I have taken daily so I can be reminded that I am obese and I need to TAKE ACTION TODAY!!!!!!!!

I have taken pictures of my tummy so I will be inspired to eat the right way.




Here are the current pictures taken  by myself. Front, side and Back. My waistline is at 55 inches, measured from the pusod.

My aspired action plan is this :

1. Lessen my photography sessions to Wed and Thursdays only.

2. Every after sending Laura to school, go to a gym or any sports facility so to excercise. Look around Katipunan area. Walk one hour a day to loosen the fats.

3. Sleep early, the latest will be 2am so I can have breakfast in the morning. Cereals and fruits.

I think this 3 first. Let's see after a week if I have done this.
