but mind you, i have been everything but lazy in the weight-loss department this past week or two [or since my last post to be exact]. my visit to the pedia [where i started weighing myself] 2 weeks ago confirmed my worst fears. i gained weight, 5 pounds to be exact. i thought i could get away with my pill-popping and erratic work-out schedule, who was i kidding???
so as of 2 weeks ago, the scale read 171 lbs. My next visit to the pedia [for maxie's flu vaccine] is on July 6 and that's this tuesday already. i hope to be atleast back to 169 lbs. i've been faithful to my no white rice promise, and i've also been very conscious of my food intake. and i've been consistent with my twice-a-week pilates sessions [the moves are getting more and more challenging!]. i'm still trying to see how i can fit in gym-time into my new role as a mom of a pre-schooler. if that's not going to be possible, i think i'll force myself to do some walking in a park, atleast twice a week too. and then maybe some video work-outs while maxie is taking his noontime naps. woohoo! am i on a roll or what. he he, that's just wishful thinking for now.
but i do have some good news. =D i bought a blouse online last May. i tried it on the minute i got it. it went past my shoulders and my chest, but it felt like i was going to burst at the seams. so i hung it in my closet, thinking it would just end up in the charity bag, like all my 'illusionada' buys of the past. well guess what, i tried it on this morning and was happy to be able to breathe comfortably in it. i wore it to work today. =D that's something major, if i may say so myself. =D
here's me, wearing the blouse, and Maxie who was busy watching barney [but posed for mama, anyway =D].
wow! :) just keep going, Chiar. :-)
ReplyDeleteyou can do it.. as in you can do it.. perseverance, discipline, the WILL to make it happen plays a very important role.. remember nothing is impossible.. one day you'll be buying medium sizes. =)

ReplyDelete@ mai
ReplyDeletethanks for the vote of confidence and i'm sorry i will not promote TFG, the less competition the better, he he. i have more than enuf competition over the very few L-XL items you sell. =P
i was contemplating on sending a pic for your look book but not one of the pics we took justifies the beauty of the blouse and more importantly, wala koy karapatan mag-mowdel! bwahahaha!
@ Chel
ReplyDeletei'm indeed better Chel, thanks! ;D
maxie actually just woke up here and i was about to leave for work, so mejo isog magpa-picture, ha ha. si guela intawon ga hagok pa ani [her class starts at noon].
@T murag dili nako ma-imagine ang 6 inches and 10 lbs. you already look great Therese!
ReplyDeletebut i know that most times, the last 10 lbs are the hardest so let's frequently update and inspire each other to reach our goal-weight!
