Downer

A ten day vacation translates to a ten pound gain as well! LOL! I really don't know for sure, because I don't know my base weight. My waistline is back to a disgusting xx, just like how it was after I popped out my babies. I looked post natal, but without the boobs to speak of. Yak! My appetite has gone to one hungry animal who has never been fed for aged!!! I blame it to PMS, I could =P

On my last day, my stomach was giving up on me. It was about to burst. I couldn't breathe, couldn't burp. I had to take antacids hoping it would go away, making sure I wasn't having a heart attack! After some time of relief, I get the same pain again once I eat something. My digestive system was definitely on strike, refusing to take the garbage I've been stuffing my face with.

When I measured my non existing waistline, I almost cried. Instead I laughed and thought, oh well. Tomorrow is another day. I have been promising myself to start eating healthy without the toxins, and hopefully get to one hundred fifty (triglycerides) level. Thankfully though, after getting my period today and skipping dinner (because I think my stomach can go on hunger strike) I lost two inches! YAY!

So there is HOPE! And hope I will... and since my little boy blue sleeps better now I will have the energy to hit the gym and sweat it out. Oh Lord, please help me shrink.

Baby Steps

In the hopes of trying to manage myself throughout the day, I twit whatever I eat to my health police. She is one fierce friend! I am really scared when she asks me what I ate or what I did for exercise.

I can't be diligent with South Beach phase one -- no carbs and sugar! But I'm doing it slowly, little to almost no rice. Sugary stuffs only from fruits. And I move, move, and move! The body is aching now because I cleaned the garage and the car. I will never run out of this type of activity because really there are tons of things to do at home!

I also went back to pilates the other night. Stretching helped me sleep better, I am more relaxed and well 'stretched'. Oh the difference a decent sleep made!!! Once I don't feel exhausted and sleepy throughout the day, I will go back to the gym.
