Time Flies

I was cleaning up my hard drives, backing up pictures and deleting files I don't really need. I was looking at the pictures of my niece and nephew and in just a year they have changed a lot. I'm not going to be surprised if the same happens to my little one. I myself have changed a lot. All that pregnancy weight I have to lose. That's my goal for the next 2 months. I'm not sure if it's something I can achieve but I will try. sigh!

Excited

I'm excited and looking forward to February! I have a lot of things to do in the coming days especially with finalizing "tornado's" baptism. I also have to finish all the things I have to buy for family and friends back home. I did some online shopping earlier--thank God for Amazon. No tax and free shipping. I still have to get the weight loss pills that my cousin wants me to get her. She has read many good reviews plus it's not that expensive. She has tried different kinds of weight loss pills already sadly none of those have worked for her so hopefully this will. I have an long busy day ahead of me again tomorrow. I'm not complaining though. The days go by sooo much faster when I'm super busy.

Help!

I seriously need weight loss pills that work! It's been 3 months since I gave birth and I still have to lose 15lbs. I still can't wear my pre-pregnancy clothes. With a vacation coming really soon, I need to lose weight soon since vacations also mean weight gain. lol. I've been cutting down on carbs but I'm having a hard time on not eating sweets. I love chocolates. Add junk foods to that. I've been trying to exercise. Not easy but little steps and I know I will get to my desired weight.

Weight Loss

My most dreaded part of my now weekly check-up is every time they check my weight. I've been very good though and the weight I have gained during the whole pregnancy is within limits as they say. For last Thursday's check-up though, I lost 2 lbs. That came as a shock to me since we have been eating out E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y and I was even close to looking for weight loss programs to take after I give birth. But hopefully I won't be needing any since they say I can lose all the weight gained after I give birth with the right diet and with breastfeeding. So I think I can go out and reward my self with a yummy pastry this weekend.

This Strawberry and White chocolate cup is something we bought from a Taiwanese pastry shop at Irvine. I first thought it was going to be too sweet but I was wrong as it was not. It was really good. Now I want another cup.

Weight Lost

In our quest to lose weight (uhm, more of the husband really and not for me for now at least), we have started eating cereals for breakfast. I've never really liked cereals when I was in the Philippines. I'm not a fan of milk either but things change. I'm trying to cut down on my carbohydrates intake and that means a cut on my rice for me not to have gestational diabetes. We have been pretty successful. My sugar is normal and "T" has lost weight. Now I'm thinking of getting a pull up bar. Other than diet anyway, we would be needing exercise. I've read about really good results but I think after "tornado" arrives, we will be losing the weight we need to lose anyway. Hmmm....

Losing Weight

I know a lot of people are into "losing weight". I've been watching the current season of biggest loser and I'm amazed by how the conestants have lost the weight. All with watching the food that they eat and with exercise. I'm all for the natural way of losing weight. But sometimes with all the weight they lose I can't help but think that they might be taking the best weight loss supplement too. Nothing against that too. I think I might need some by next year. It used to be so easy to lose weight but I guess as you grow older, metabolism changes and losing weight becomes more difficult. Anyways, I can't do anything for now with weight loss. All I can do is make sure I eat right and hope I don't gain much in the coming months.

Cooking

I have been doing some cooking for the past few days and I'm running out of reciepe's. My dad being hypertensive is currently under a strict low fat low salt diet. With him being restrained to eat only such, we too would also have to follow the diet. I'm totally for it as it could answer my needs of losing weight without having to use any weight loss product but it gives me a major headache to actually come up with a dish that would still be yummy. Cooking is totally hard! I know I should get used to this set up as I would be doing a lot more cooking in the future but any suggestions on easy to do meal that are low fat and low on salt?
