In my quest to really stick to a diet that is good and will do wonders for my weight as well as for my health I started eating oatmeal for the past 2 weeks. I eat it in lieu of a complete lunch and it actually feels good that now when I rarely do eat lunch, my stomach tells me that it doesn’t want the additional weight. I have gotten used to the OATS. Many studies say that eating oats lowers your cholesterol and helps with your weight management. I would like to think so. Although I am not really overweight or anything, I have always dreamed to be around a 100LBS only. My weight in high school was just 98LBS and I was very skinny way back then. I want to thin out a little as well as keep myself healthy because really the most important thing that we should think about is our health because without it, we would be useless. Health is very important and I think that Filipinos have actually been on the way to not eating healthy lately as per recent studies that say that Filipinos nowadays are getting more obese than they were a couple of years ago. I like this oatmeal eating diet. It actually does not cost much and gives me more a better cholesterol level. Now, I am planning to have it for lunch and for dinner before 6pm.
So guys and gals, join me in my Oatmeal crusade…hehehehe!
Note: This is not for the faint of heart. hahahhahaha!

I have been waking up early and then doing crunches and then having my meals without rice and it has been quite a challenge for the Philippines has rice as a staple in our diets. So it has been really hard but I’ve done it before already and was able to do it although I miss the very full feeling that rice gives you and the satisfaction as well. So I continued on with the diet and exercise regimen. But just today and yesterday at lunch I did eat rice and I will confess to that. About half a cup. The meal was so good. For yesterday it was Persia Grill with delicious lamb chops and biryani’s while for today it was “authentic” Negros dishes like La Paz Batchoy and the like. Nothing much to report except that the office has been in a lazy atmosphere just this week in anticipation of the coming vacation. We will have no more work from Dec. 23 – January 05. Whopee! I can’t wait.

It’s the Christmas season. The time when ham and other fancy fare are always on the table. The time to splurge on the eating and just not worry about the pounds that are piling up. Hahahah! Well I am quite worried. Although I haven’t gained that much weight I still want to be thin. Not reed thin though. Just the right kind of thin so with this statement I will start my regimen that is going to last for 15 days. Hence the title, lose weight in 15 days! How do I start? Well for one thing, rice is now a big no-no in my diet. Less carbs for me. I do eat rice at least twice every day so now, I will adhere to that no-rice diet. Second, a promise to at least run for 15 minutes every morning in our subdivision. Keep the soda intake low and also other fatty and fried foods. Stick to steamed vegetables and other steamed stuff. I will officially weigh myself tomorrow so that I know if there have been any improvements at all. Wish me luck guys! One more thing I also promised to lift weights to tone my arms. Go bicycling on the weekends to exercise as well. Last but not least, more water intake. To cleanse the body and shed off some of those unwanted fats…
So the countdown begins…starting tomorrow!
