SuperMOM in Training

Photo from Google.com images my numerous attempts for weight loss isn't exactly news to many. i've had my fair share of painful hours spent at  the gym lifting stuff till my arms ache and doing aerobics till i found it hard to breathe. yup, good times! anyway, i still receive daily/weekly weight loss newsletters from different health and wellness groups online that i subscribed to years ago  and although i rarely read any of them now, there are still some great contents that proved to be useful and inspiring. one particular entry i stumbled upon the other day stressed on the importance of external motivation--family and friends, most especially--in winning one's battle towards weight loss. apprarently, high statistics and countless success stories were said to have proven this. well, personally, i found that to be true. i've started quite a few weight loss journeys in the past but i always had a hard time following through. oftentimes i stopped after just over a...

first off, MY LEGS ARE KILLING ME! i started Day One of jillian michaels' workout dvd yesterday and i gotta say this, she DID kick my butt! i was at the gym for almost a month before i even started with jillian's workout so i didn't actually expect to have a hard time with her routines. but when i started with her moves, i gotta admit...it burns. her routines were not even hard at all. they were actually pretty simple and basic. but what keeps it burning is that she never let you stop. i can't even believe how she managed to workout AND talk at the same time! its a continuous 20+ minute workout that alternates cardio, strength and abs. on the other side, i realized that maybe i was using the wrong hand weights. i currently have a pair of 3-kg weights that is roughly equivalent to around 6.6 lbs. of course, with a body like mine, those are just pretty okay and light. but when i used them while doing the shred moves, dang! seemed like they're more than enough. but i d...

YEP! it was confirmed. i DID lost five freakin' pounds! (yay!) and not just that, i think i lost MORE than 5 lbs. it wasn't a digital scale so i find it hard to get the exact reading. whew! those breath-taking aerobics and cardio plus program did work out for me. anyway, like i said, im gonna try this workout program in a few days for 30 straight days and also, im gonna be posting some regular updates on that one, so better stick around! til then... ciao! :)

alrightee. im gonna keep this short and sweet. :) i know i didn't give you my starting stats when i started this getting fit journey (sorry 'bout that) but still, i wasn't able to get those numbers ready. when i enrolled at the gym, they took my measurements and all but unfortunately, i don't remember them. but don't worry, il try to take get them soon and post 'em here, alryt? anyway, off to the update. i stepped on the scale last night and if the scale wasn't playing with me, im happy to share that i lost almost five freaking pounds (5 lbs!) ! hehe my starting weight was taken mid april (april 17) and being at the gym (although, off and on) for almost a month took five pounds off my bod! (yay!) anyway, since work is hard and ive been having problems sneaking off afterwork to visit the gym, i decided to try another form of workout. so, by next week, im gonna try the most talked-about jillian micheals 30 day shred workout! what's great about it is that e...

wanna keep these on the record. at least i'll have a reminder in black and white. 1. save . ive had this savings account that i wanted to dedicate for emergency/child fund. i did saved up for a moment, but before i know it almost all the money's gone. better start saving up again ASAP. 2. pay debts i have credit card debts. im not ashamed to admit it. (well, slightly. ) you can't blame me. im a single mom and my pay sucks. sometimes i ran out of cash. it happens. and it happens a LOT. so where do you think i ran to? the magic card . but im gonna pay off those debts before its too late. hopefully. 3. lose weight, be healthy, stay fit again, im a single mom. and my baby is two years old. and i can't even begin to imagine if something not good will happen to me. gotta do it. and besides, a lighter and sexier me looks much better right? :D okey. that will be all for NOW . il get back to you when i can think of some more. as if these 3 are not enough... :D goodluck to me!

alright. i don't know when . or how . but i know i'll get it started. and im gonna get it started SOON . so please, just stay with me. coz trust me, im gonna need ALL the help (and encouragement) i can get.
