Parang nagugulat pa sila kapag magtanong kung diabetic na ako. Nope, hindi naman ako na-offend pero by this time, alam na nila siguro na ang mga overweight na tulad ko ay high risk for diabetes. "Mahilig ka siguro sa mga chocolates and desserts." Ayan, ang isa sa maling assumptions.  "Ang taba-taba mo kasi eh." Duh! Si Gary V, payat at super active pero diabetic. Ang dami ko rin na

Yes I am back and so what are the changes? Actually nothing. I just had a consult with my doctor. my last was in January. My weight has been stable. It's exactly the same but my sugar level went high. From 7 point something, it as high as 8.8 and the normal should be 5.6 only.  Yes, I do not have the discipline and I hate myself being that.  But I do not hate myself that

Happy New Year, boys and girls! I am still alive and kicking!  So what did you have for your New Year's celebration? Our table is different as we welcome the new year to be compared with the previous years. There's chicken and fish now and green salad too. Some sweets but more fruits. We skipped pasta this time because we have no time to cook but Menudo was the star of the table for a

Merry Christmas to all of you. Unlike in the past years, I am celebrating my Christmas differently this year. When I got the results of my annual physical examination which was held last September, I was really surprised to see the results. Well, I was expecting that it will show I am obese and some possible diseases that I have due to my weight.  My results woke me up. I am Class

I have been reading about it since i have seen several success stories. and honestly amazed with how they managed to stay with that lifestyle writing some pages of my book (super super super due but I am glad that I have the best and kindest editor and publisher in the whole wide world).

So after my 10-day pamahase challenge, how did I fare? Not so very good but not that bad also. After the first five days of the challenge,  I spent less than one thousand pesos expected if I will take two-cab rides a day. So instead, I only spent  Php328 for the week. That amount already included a cab ride going to work on two consecutive days.  I had to take a cab not

I have to be honest that I failed the first time I did this Cardio challenge. Why? It was difficult for my weight to do the two exercises here. Since I am too heavy, my knees and ankles get too painful even for a few tries. So I stopped. But I wanted to do this again because it felt good and these cardio exercises  really made me sweat a lot.  Good thing when I was browsing

Image courtesyt of www.trainoffers.co.uk I have another personal project. Yeah, so many projects but they are of different importance and reasons. Pamasahe (Fare) Challenge is my latest personal project. Lately, I realized that I have been spending too much of what I planned to for my two-week fare to and from work.  And I need to assess why and start all over again. When I decided to

Yes, you read it right. I have been away for too long. Been through a lot of these months ..eeerr... years that I have been away from your eyes. I preferred actually to stay away while I was trying to pick up pieces of me where I left them. But the good thing about picking up those pieces is I was able to pick some things up that added to what has become of me now. Emotions, maturity, wisdom,

I am dehydrating myself because I am not drinking properly.  Yes, you read it right. At 264lbs, I should be drinking half of my body weight in ounce to totally hydrate myself. Now, I am thinking how am I going to drink 16 glass of water (250ml)  if I usually fail to drink 8 glasses of water every day? I need to drink a glass of water in every hour that I am awake for 16 hours.

I am starting this week to avoid any sugar-filled or sweetened drinks like soft drink, cola, iced tea, and the likes. I know I can easily do this because I am not really into cola-drinking. I have to be contended with drinking cold water.     I realized sugar is the most culprit of all culprits in a diet when I stumbled upon these charts comparing different drinks. Who wouldn't

I go for this! And I am taking the challenge. I am competing with myself. (Note: I saw this in a friend's FB timeline.) No harm in trying. Though I must admit that doing the climber is a little difficult to do since I have a big tummy. :-)  Why the sudden concern to do this? I want to be healthy. I want to live longer. Few days ago, I went for a medical check up after

Again...  I read all my entries in this space all over again. One of the things I noticed was I keep on hibernating and returning back. It happened for several times. Now I am wondering what happened in between that I missed writing and updating this blog. Maybe so many things happened and I lost time to update this. Or I lost the interest to update. Or I lost the interest to share what

But I never thought that is does wonder to human health. It is as important as honey syrup.

Here's an interesting infographics from Massive Health. The way I understand it, it just want to convey that choosing the right food does not necessary mean staying away from fat or carbohydrates. Based on my readings lately, there are good and bad carbo and fats. And this infographics says it all.

Based on an article in Yahoo today, there are six drinks one must have to fight ageing, and when is the best time of the day to drink them.  Water as first in the list must be taken any time of the day especially when you feel dehydrated. Dehydration does not only show in our skin or in our eyes. It shows also in the internal organs. I can attest to that when I went under the knife and

Okay, I quit working full time few months ago. I got tired of it. I felt I sacrificed my life - happiness, health, and all to much that I lost myself elsewhere. I had to stop and ask: Where am I leading? Do I really to continue with this? What I really want to do with my life? I am close to being 40 and I know some people who have awakened from long sleep and realized they want to do

When I went under the knife two years ago, my doctor learned how dehydrated I was prior to that. My internal organs manifested it. My liver was so dehydrated. She strongly advised me to keep myself hydrated. With my weight, I am supposed to have three liters of water. I never had a way to find out if I really did have even at least  a liter a day. Well, this is a very interesting way to

This is very interesting visual representation of the pounds to lose and lost. I am thinking to do the same but I guess in monetary form. I need to lose 100 pounds. For every pound lost, I will save Php5.00. By the time I lost the 100-pound challenge, I already have Php500.00.  (Pinterest.com) The past months have been full of challenges and depression. I ballooned to 270lbs. I
