Sweat it out

Today's activity was spent solely inside the office, sitting down doing some emails.  So I decided to go down to the gym for a dance exercise just to sweat out. In a matter of one week I lost half kilogram and fascinating enough.  Before we started a lady doctor in the group was talking about the daily consciousness of what to eat in a daily basis for those who really want to reduce in weight and the alkaline in the Calamansi juice. I somewhat agreed with her and agreed all the more that we should only eat rice during lunch. Then Besy  (I just knew her name after the dance when we walk together outside) was curious about the things that made her a bit fat. And I confirm that other ways to slim down is to drink Calamansi juice. Pure. No sugar added. No water added. No salt. as in pure. I also gave her advise that she can start 5 to 10 pieces every morning and increase it gradually until she reaches 28 pieces. And some ways is simply to sweat out.  I enrolled in the dance exercise not to become a dancer (that would be too late for a dream) but to simply sweat it out. I feel better.

What I ate inside SM City Mall

I had breakfast in Pier Uno of peanut bread, fish and coffee (3 in 1) enough for the brief appointment in the morning and then afterwards I have to go somewhere to stay while waiting for my boat ride back to the office.  And SM seemed to be the only place to stay.  Why I love SM because there are plenty of things to see and think about. There are plenty of foods to eat around from Thai to Japanese to Filipino foods.  And of course there are these never ending fast foods of the century.  But if you have another diet plan in mind you can skip all these. I went directly to "Fruit and Salad Medley"  and my usual choice are the combination of grapes, mango and honey dew. But there were no grapes, mango nor honey dew this time so I picked some vegies instead like lettuce with matching cucumber of two varieties. No salad dressing. A friend went over to see me so I decided we have lunch at Sunburst, that means a plate with the stuff of chicken, vegie with noodles and some shanghai thing. Then we ate later the fresh vegetables I just bought from the supernarket. Then supper time I popped on two handful of cornflakes which I bought from the grocery earlier.

Light Meal

We should take light meal inorder for food to digested easily, when you put plenty of food into the stomach the food may digest slowly and it will linger in the stomach longer which may cause acidity. I maybe wrong but this is what I have observed and have been doing and I feel light.  Even while traveling I do not eat much. I only eat what is enough for the corresponding action. We should not overeat. But one thing is important we should eat correct combination of food.

I reduced 3 kg

That's true I reduced three kilogram in a matter of three months. And the last kilo I lost was just a matter of one week.  What did I do? I go to a dancing exercise studio. We had all these stretching and toning down of muscles after wards. But not only that, I make a conscious effort on what to eat. In the morning when I wake up I try to squeezed on pure calamansi juice twice a week. Then after an hour or two I only take 3-n1 coffee or or a cereal drink or milk and nibble some biscuits. Very light meal is the name of the game.  Lunch time I eat rice, some vegetables and fish. Take note I rarely eat meat. Every after lunch I would take 500mg Vitamin C from Classique Herbs and three times a week (after lunch) I also take Glutathione also from Classique Herbs. . Then in the evening I go for oatmeal sometimes and other times I go for a couple of ripe mangoes some supper are alternated with cornflakes. Take note again the name of the game is light meal.

How much water does your body needs?

Mine is 1.5 liters according to the body mass I have. That is considering my height and weight. But that is too much for me especially when it's wet season but 1 liter for me during dry season is enough. I am not a water lover actually and I used to drink only when thirsty but over time I have changed.  Why? because I have discovered the wonders of water.  I have this back pains and drinking water relieves me. And one liter is enough for me.  You, how much water does your body needs?

My drinking water habit

Yes I still have acidity in my stomach but pretty careful this time.  I avoid drinks that are acidic. I do not drink soft drink especially the cola types (my apology to my friends who works for Coke and Pepsi). I totally avoided juices, unless it's pure (no water, no sugar nor salt.). I drink iced tea but not much.  I go for hot tea, milk and chocolate. On occasions I eat meat but not much and I drink seven up or sprite moderately afterwards. And I am trying to drink plenty of water these days as I tend to forget it unless I am very thirsty.  I required myself to drink one liter a day but there are moments that it really bothers me. Why, because the trips to the toilets have increased its frequency. I only drink water when I am sure to stay at one place the whole day, because I travel a lot I do not drink water religiously.

My addiction

My mother was a school teacher and being the youngest I was tucked along. But not when I was still a toddler. She left me with the care of some nanny in my father's stepmother's household. Whenever she arrived home from school she would noticed that the baby, that was me, smelled tuba.  She would find out later that my nanny, being a sweet tuba drinker let the toddler drink it too.


I may not have a proof that this is somehow connected to my addiction later on of the smell of the vinegar and the vinegar itself then but I am pretty sure that vinegar causes acidity in my stomach.

Stomach acidity

Over the years I have to rediscover why I have stomach acidity. In my young years I got addicted to the smell of vinegar, the one which is the finish product of coconut. Every time I ran errands for vinegar in the neighborhood I took one sip before reaching our kitchen. Little did I know it was the cause of my stomach acidity.  And again over the years I have to uncover why I was addicted to that vinegar and the smell of it.

Let's live a healthy life

Let us live a healthy life.  Why am I advocating health? Simple, health is wealth. I was a sickly child. I easily got colds, fever and flu and I always vomit whenever I travel long on a bus. I remember always having a stomach ache and couldn't figure out what went wrong.  There were times that I have to excuse myself from my grade school class because my stomach ached and I rushed home to emote.  Then in college anti acids were introduced to me so I started taking them.  Yes them because I have an enumeration of the anti acids in the world.  Kremil S, Creamalin, Nuvalucid, Mylanta, etc. They relieved me somehow and I can even say it helped me. Before I always have anti acid wherever I go and some relief ointments just incase my stomach aches along the way. But now I rarely have these items in my handbag. I can say now that my health has improved and a great factor because I can travel long comfortably as my job entails traveling . Now my health is my wealth.
