My 2010 Goal: Lose Weight!!!

7 years married, 3 kids and a body that needs to be trimmed. I was not able to lose my post pregnancy weight. After I gave birth to my eldest, I'll just lose about 20 pounds and retain the remaining 10 pounds - so, 3 kids is 30 pounds. Now my new year's resolution for 2010 is for me to lose weight for a few reasons.

First, for health reasons. I found out late last year that I have gallstones, "wonderful and beautiful stones" according to the doctor who did my abdominal ultrasound. I'm afraid that my body cannot anymore function properly if I still maintain this weight that I have right now. Second, I don't feel and look good anymore. How can I have self confidence if this is what I'm feeling now. And in turn this can take effect in my work. People tend to look at you with respect if you have confidence in yourself - you project that you have a strong personality and they will not look down on you, stuffs like that. So, trim down girl and gain your confidence! Third, for marital reasons. Of course, I have to look good for my hubby. I don't want to give him any chance of finding someone sexier than me.

And I came accross this article from web-articles.com - How to Start You Fat Loss Journey. After I read this article, I was enlightened that I have to change my habits in order for this weight loss program that I have in mind to be a reality and make it into something that is not just temporary but keeping if for life. It's amazing that business related articles can turn out to be beneficial even for your personal life. Here's an exerpt from the article:

How to achieve fat loss? Weight loss is a life changing process by changing your habits. But what are habits? Habits are defined as the intersection of knowledge, skills and desire by Stephen Covey, the author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Knowledge is the what to do and the why. Skill is the how to do. And desire is the motivation, the want to do. "In order to make something a habit in our lives, we have to have all three." Covey said.

I'd say there's more good articles at web-articles.com.

Christmas Wish ... Granted!!!

I know that this is so kinda late post already but anyways, just wanted to greet everybody a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Christmas was good for us this year inspite of what has Typhoon Ondoy brought our family. People have been very generous to us and I thank God for using people to be a channel of blessing to our family. But of course, Christmas is really for kids. I've been amazed by how I see my kids eyes brighten up when they receive their gifts (either from Santa or from their parents). These I got for my kids:

1. For Izzo - a Hotwheels Color Blaster
2. For Renzo - a Bicycle (but this I have to purchase this afternoon)
3. For Baby Adie - none yet since he still cannot appreciate gifts i'll be saving this up for his 1st birthday
