"WHAT?!?" I literally shouted when I stepped on the scale tonight. That comment made by one of La Nueva's managers that I had lost some weight was ringing in my ears all night so I decided to finally step on my scale after a seven-day absence. (I honestly thought it was merely "pity compliment" cuz I was all alone eating one lonely little hash brown.) Can't believe the title I'm using for this blog is actually appropriate this time. I'm a bit incredulous cuz I still feel bloated from the holidays. Not counting PMS (and then menopause, as Riri so candidly puts it), that is. Still incredulous cuz this latest "report" by my trusty scale is ridiculous. Seriously!
This is one of the reasons why I'm looking forward to Monday. Because I'm sure the heavy duty scale located conveniently outside the cafeteria of my new home, T to the E, will never lie to me. But on second thought, my loyal purple scale has never let me down. Hmmm... I guess this walking addiction of mine is finally paying off? Nah, I think I'll visit T to the E this week. Need to submit some things anyway. We'll see if I can finally mimic my favorite "Heroes" episode for real this time. Five Years Gone vs. Five Kilos Gone... me likey!!! Come to think of it, maybe it's not just the walking... all this moping around and "moni2x" as brother Eyean puts it is also taking its toll. I'll definitely take it.
Although... Ms. Tara Boyance's sit-up regimen might prove handy too. December 2008 goal, here I come! (I hope.) Wish me luck! :)
Good luck on resisting the heavy duty cafeteria of T to the E, Mist... :D
ReplyDeletecongrats mist, on a lot of things. always be happy. :)
ReplyDeletealso, stay away from ice cream and tapa king. =P
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget to avoid softdrinks sad para dili ka ma hyper. *wink wink*
ReplyDeletekeep it up mist!
ReplyDeleteYou feel bloated because conscious na ka sa imo consumption. That is one side effect when one is exercising to lose weight. I read that somewhere in the 'net.
ReplyDeletekeep drinkin' lots of water :D

ReplyDeletenyteenyt! :-*
5kilos in one week? and despite the holiday eating season. wow, way to go mist! great job!
ReplyDeletenah, it's not exactly all in one week mavz. i've been weighing myself on and off since part one of this post. hehehe. i didn't wanna say anything til i got the number that i needed to make the heroes reference again. *wink*
ReplyDeleteand yes, it's official. my scale still works. stepped on the t to the e scale and yes, 5 kilos gone. my very useful book says we shouldn't let the scale control our lives so i won't. i'll use news such as this one to motivate me but i won't obsess about my weight. not anymore. the first lesson i learned from that book is to forgive myself. and i have. that's why it's easier to treat myself to sweets and my other favorite fares without much guilt.
if anyone's interested in losing, gaining or maintaining their weight, or simply getting healthy, i'll be sending out invites to our multiply group... just as soon as i figure out how that function works. hehehe. so feel free to pm me if you'd like to join us or if you've got some pointers on how to make multiply work for us. see y'all at the healthy site soon! ;)
thanks riri! yep. no goodbyes! hope to chat with you again soon! nyteenyt! :P
ReplyDeleteand oh, thanks, riri and mavz! for the kind words and the inspiration. :)
