Life is a Work in Progress

Project Dress Up

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 03:41:45 +0000

The first thing that I will do as soon as I get back into shape is to shop for new clothes. I’ve already lost 30lbs upon giving birth but still need to lose 15lbs more. These dresses from Forever21 will inspire me to eat healthy and exercise so I can finally reach my weight goal. After all, you can’t wear any of these if you don’t have killer thighs, can you?

Getting Old

One thing that my uncle would appreciate now is roadside assistance plan if he wants to keep everyone in the family safe. He just purchased an RV, much to his oldest daughter’s dismay (she wanted a timeshare instead) and already planning on several trips for next week alone. I do think it’s pretty cool the way you can bring your entire “home” everywhere you go. Plus they have so many parks and RV camps a couple of hours where they live that I’m sure they’ll make the most out of their very expensive purchase.

I envy him actually. I want to be able to buy something as frivolous when the time comes for retirement. Not exactly an RV but more like a vacation house or another property away from the city. It is where my husband and I can settle, watching the sunset and the stars afterwards, without the pollution and noise. The kids and grandkids can come visit us and we’ll have plenty of barbecue parties and reunions during the holiday season.

Still on Hot Mommas

Why oh why can’t we look like them?

Giselle Bundchen. Look at those killer legs. And her baby is only a few months old!

Heidi Klum – motherhood suits her. Everytime.

One of my fave girls, Jessica Alba.

No Zzzs for Months

Thanks to our gadgets, we can survive sleepless nights with our newborn. With our two ipods and one iPhone, my husband and I can past the time by watching movies, reading ebooks or playing games while we take turns in feeding, changing and rocking the baby back to sleep.

Sleep deprivation is so hard but with the help of these god-send gadgets, we can force ourselves to be wide awake. I mean, you wouldn’t want to fall asleep while burping the baby, would you? I was close to doing that while I was carrying the baby on the sofa bed. I thought I could close my eyes and get a few minutes of sleep but as I was about to doze off, I suddenly felt like the baby is sliding down from my arms. Luckily, I woke up in time but you can bet I’d never do such thing as napping again.

28 Lbs and Counting

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 08:34:29 +0000

I’m so happy to note that I lost a total of 28 lbs! After giving birth, I wasn’t sure if I can go back to my old shape. If basing on my current weight loss for the past 12 days however, it’s looking good! And I’m not even trying to diet or anything!

I just need to do some really serious lower ab workout to lose the flabs on my stomach. I know that one will not go away unless I do something about it. If I get lucky, I may be shopping for new outfits before the year ends!

Nice Cigars

Wow, Padron cigars are really expensive. A box of 10 will set me back a total of $167 or so. I’m looking at buying a few of these to surprise my husband who has been asking me to get him some nice cigars for so long. Only I wasn’t sure which one to buy until I overheard him and his friend talking about Padron Serie 1926. Luckily, you can buy them in singles so I’ll just buy him four at $18.70 each just to see if he’ll like it. I do love the box that comes with the set though so we’ll see.

Beyond Skinny

I wonder when I can start wearing these? Just low how they make your legs look longer and thinner. I’ll need the best fat burning exercise if ever I want to fit into these by Christmas. I’m positive that I’ll lose up to 35lbs by then, thanks to breastfeeding. But to be able to wear a pair of skinnies? I don’t think so. I guess I’ll stick to bootleg types until I have reduced the size of my hips to my liking.

Complete

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:19:26 +0000

The new baby is home! I gave birth last June 23 but she had to stay in the hospital for five more days due to Jaundice. Saying that our house is upside down would be understatement and yet we’ve never been happier. We are now complete! The four of us – my husband, myself and my two daughters.

I’d be back to work soon, my sidelines need to be attended but for now, all I do is sleep, breastfeed and eat. Good luck to my weight loss goal.

Still on HGH

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 03:34:10 +0000

Speaking of hgh supplements, my mother-in-law who is a fan of all kinds of supplements just bought a new range of products from her favorite supplier. She also gave me a short lesson on how our body needs HGH now that we’re not getting any younger. Some of the things I learned about HGH supplements: (or at least the ones that registered to me)

- Reduce excess body fat
- Reduce wrinkles, signs of aging
- Increase muscle mass
- Stimulate growth of internal organs
- Stimulate the immune system

This is unlike those hgh injections that have been banned by FDA due to very bad side effects and was originally designed for AIDS patients, children who can’t produce enough HGH and adults with HGH deficiency caused by sugery and radiation.

Supplements Anyone?

All kinds of supplement reviews are posted in the Internet today. I’m not sure which one to believe anymore as they could be recommending products of those who can pay for advertisement. I still think that the best place to look for a reliable review is through forums and blogs. These reviews are written by real people who have tried the product themselves. I for one frequent parenting and forums for women whenever I want to get an opinion for something that I want to buy. It’s also a great place to learn new things or find alternatives that you’ve never heard about.
