I’ve been doing yoga three days a week for two weeks now. Yay!
That’s a little bit of self-praise to keep me going. I want to get fit again and I need to motivate myself to do yoga consistently.

Bridget: God, don’t you love to run?
Eric: Yeah, it’s the best high you can have.
Bridget: Exactly! It’s like you’re just in this place where nothing bad can happen, you know. Like if you just push a bit further, if you keep moving…

No, that’s not my stomach up there. Mine’s darker and got a lot of stretch marks but I’ve been doing this a lot lately. I am psyching myself up that I need to squish some flab out of my stomach and get me some fab abs. The trigger: a stolen shot Jamaine took of me [...]

How do you curb your appetite when you’re craving for that chocolate – covered chocolate chip cookie? You turn your back on the cookie aisle, head toward the fruit stand and reach for a bag of apples.

My sunny breakfast

Sunny side up egg

Our helper Nay Mary likes to cook sunny side ups for breakfast. Though I like scrambled eggs, the sunny side ups are growing on me.
Depending on my appetite, I eat one or two sunny eggs with heavenly fragrant rice (I love Dinorado). If I’m really hungry, I’ll throw in a couple of hotdogs too.
I’ve been [...]

Beautiful sunrise

My November was off to an awesome start and I just know this is going to be a great month.
Last Sunday morning, I went to the Victory Christian Fellowship Service in UP. I have to admit, it felt tempting to stay in bed since weekends are the only days I get to sleep in. [...]

Gooey sweet sour goodness

Nestle Yogurt Melon Nata

I have a confession to make… I’ve been eating rice again. A lot of it.
That’s what happens when you’ve got a husband who cooks really good, one serving of rice is never enough.
But I’ve been feeling bloated and sluggish again — definitely not good when you want to be productive.

Yearning for yoga

Yoga

It’s that sluggish time of the year again.
I’ve been feeling so tired, fat and bloated… even if I’m far from being one.
I’ve stopped my workout routine and salad diet months ago but I’m still a size 1 and the last time I checked, my waist line was still hovering between 25 and 26 inches.
