To Box or Not To Box

I've had a rough week and I'm so glad it's already Friday. As I look back in the past few months, stress has been an almost daily part of my life. I'm frustrated that I don't have an outlet to let go of the steam. You know how creative people tend to do something with their talent when they're depressed or stressed. How writers write poems, or how painters draw their frustrations. Sure I write about it here in my blog once in a while but not really in detail because I just don't feel like it and I don't want to let out dirty laundry in the world wide web. So I end up eating. Yes, eating! And then I get depressed when I notice that I'm getting bigger. This morning I realized I should just go back to boxing. Now that will really help me! But sometimes I just don't feel like gong to the gym anymore, I haven't been there in months. My gym instructors would have thought that I've already gotten pregnant and given birth – that's how long I've been out of the loop. So now I'm deciding if I should box again or not. At the moment I can squeeze it in my schedule, I can even go boxing everyday. Okay, now that I'm writing this I'm even more convinced that I should box again. But you know why I'm a bit weary to go back to boxing? I'm not sure if I should say this but … we're already thinking of getting pregnant. So what if I get pregnant? Then I'll have to stop again and lose my momentum. Is that a silly thing to think about? It's just that I really really need a stress buster. Or I'll end up somewhere in our neighborhood (in Mandaluyong hehehe).

Uh Oh!

Oh my gosh! I think I need to start to diet. Somebody just asked me if I'm already pregnant! Whapak! That's my biggest problem. When I gain weight, the first body parts that accumulates fat is my face and my arms. And I wish I can hide my face! Mukha na naman ata akong siopao!

Remember my post about going back to the gym, well I did started boxing again for twice a week but after less than a month I'm lazy to go back again. Huhu! I need to find the motivation to exercise! And you would think that pregnant comment is enough motivation. We'll see...

Gym Withdrawal

I haven't been to the gym for ... ???? .... I can't even remember the month I've been there last. It's been that LOOOOONNG! Ever since I got married, my date with the gym has been erratic until I totally said "goodbye" to it. Haaay! I think I need to go back there. I don't feel as fit and I feel as if I've gained so much weight. Which is really frustrating for me because I know when I do go back I will only lose a few pounds as in 2-3 pounds lang. Plus the change will really not be that drastic. E ako pa naman gusto ko yung may pumapansin sa kin na pumapayat ako. Although, I must admit no one has said na tumataba naman ako. Either that's true or all the people I meet are really wonderful people hehehe. But I wish I could go and learn another sport. I think I'm getting bored with doing cardio exercises and even boxing. I need to get my rhythm back.

Losing Weight

Well, if you've been reading my blog for some time you'll know that I'm kinda vain. I feel guilty when I don't go to the gym atleast once a week. As of the moment, I'm really scared to gain weight especially now that I'm getting married in a few months. Fortunately, with proper diet and regular exercise I maintain my present weight - although I gain a few pounds once in a while. But for some people, dieting and exercising isn't enough. So a few of them opt to do the alternative - take weight loss pills like phentermine - 21phen.com. But what is phentermine? Phentermine is an appetite suppressant, that is, you lose your appetite when you take this pill. With combination of diet and exercise, the proper use of phentermine can help overweight people lose weight. I guess as with any other things, you just have to make do with what works for you. If you think you need diet pills then go ahead and buy yourself some phentermine.

On the Left Corner...

Today, Pam and I tried boxing. And I had fun! Boxing is fun! It was just a trial so no payment yet. But we will be enrolling and doing it again next week. We'll probably do it once a week and then the other days of the week I'll have cardio and weight training. I'm getting bored at the gym doing cardio exercises and weight training. Although my program is changed every so often by my trainor it still gets a bit too boring. So for this year I decided to do boxing. Might be a good way to lose some fat in these big arms of mine. So I need to buy those hand wraps and boxing gloves. Since it was just a trial, we only borrowed the wraps and gloves that we used. The instructor said I can buy the 12 0z. gloves. Didn't know those had weights. Anyway, the session was for one hour that includes stretching, warm-up exercises and then the actual sparring which is around 2 minutes per round (Pam and I did alternate sparring with the instructor) and then some ab workout and another set of stretching. My hands were a little weak after the session, I had a hard time writing my name in the "attendance sheet". After a few months of boxing, do you think I could beat Pacman? Hihihi

Again Again

Bakit ba ang hirap-hirap mag-lose ng weight! Pakshet! I was down to 100lbs in November last year tapos ngayon….grrrr@&#$!?@?!!! Now, I have to be at the gym 4x a week just to lose weight plus I have to go back to my diet. Argh! Bakti ba ang sarap kasi kumain?!?!?!? Tell me!!! Huway!?!?!?! Pwede bang kumain ng masarap pero di mag-gain ng weight? Pwede bang kumain ng marami tapos i-lose yung na-gain na weight sa exercise lang? Bakit ba hindi pwedeng exercise lang? Bakit kailangang samahan ng right diet!?!?! Sige na crucify me I’m vain! Kasi naman ang weird ng body structure ko! I’m petite, small legs, small waist, small boobs din tapos laki ng arms. Nakaka-frustrate! When I start dieting the first one na lumiliit is my abdomen. Stubborn part talaga yung arms. Kahit ano ata gawin ko di liliit ang arms ko unless ipa-lipo ko which will cost me P5000 per session. Mga ilang session kaya ‘to? Or I can just accept the fact na pangit talaga ng arms ko. That’s more affordable ahahahaha.
