Went to a trusted orthodontist to check how my procedure will be taken care of. It seems that going the healthy and fit road will cost me much. 60K for brackets? Not for me; I got a second opinion which will only cost me half. I hope that the amount will not compromise the quality of the experiment. Vanity has its price, but it’s a price I don’t want to pay considering that I don’t want to invest a lot.

The second opinion did have its way, now I’m waiting for time for things to commence.

Whenever I feel that I want to be healthy, I do my best to eat oatmeal and fruits. Because of the food is rich in fiber and natural antioxidants (haha, I sound like a talent for a coffee ad) I tend to use the bathroom as fast as

I just had a check up as part of the company’s way of promoting wellness. It turns out that when I had my bone density examined, I lacked calcium in my body. I am osteopenic which is already a step before osteoporosis. My bones are brittle and that I need to drink some capsules to have the needed 1200 grams of calcium per day.

The doctor asked me if I smoke, drink, etc. but I told her NO. I’m assuming that it’s with the lack of vitamins and minerals because I stopped taking them. Added to the fact that I haven’t been sleeping regularly as I am pretty much busy always, I guess it’s already a given.

But my friend said that it’s probably because of stress which is also a good point. I blame it all on diet, I already lost weight but I need to keep balance. Somehow, I’ve been eating sweets which is too much for me to take. This is rather alarming on my part as this is the least news that I expected.

But chocolates are just too hard to pass up.

Since I got sick and I haven’t gone to the doctor, I resulted to eating veggies and fish or fruits for lunch or dinner. Also, I’ve been drinking Gatorade non-stop to keep me hydrated after going back and forth the bathroom. This has been a bummer. I’ve been sick since the weekend which was supposed to be my days off where I can hang loose. Instead, I just stayed at home and waited for the sickness to subside.

I’m just glad that somehow I get to buy some good fruits at SM Cebu. They have a salad bar opened up some time ago which gives a customer a chance to choose from a number of fruits available and pour some milk and cream on it. This is what I do whenever I drop by SM City Cebu which has also been pretty important for me to do today since I needed the fiber.

This is my lunch while my younger was eating a 2 pieces of KFC chicken by my side. tsk tsk.

I plan to renew my gym membership. It’s already been two weeks since I last went to the gym and exercised. Right now, I’m actually eating more than the usual intake and it seems like I’ll be bloated again. Long before everybody sees me, I’ll be back with some flab again. Supposedly, I would lose some weight because of some diet, but then I would regain them back but it’s more on muscles.

One of the things I like about the gym is having an infrared sauna. There’s something about excreting toxins through sweat after a good workout that I like because of the waste that also goes out. I guess it has something to do with the thoughts. A far infrared sauna is what I’m missing and is what’s motivating me to get back .

Anyway, I’ll probably wait some time next week until I renew it again. Hopefully, I’ll achieve my goal of pumping up some mass.

I’m already done with my membership from a local gym for the month and it seems that I’ve already gotten thinner with my current weight since I lost about five pounds in total and people have already noticed that I am indeed thinner. In any case, I wish to continue working out so I can build some muscles so I wouldn’t look lanky.

I remember that I was given some information by my former colleague in Manila about joining a marathon. He’s into mixed martial arts and he’s trying to join a marathon so he can practice and stay active. He informed me about downloading an audio file about how strength training and such. I wish I could join events like the Ironman 70.3 in Branson.

The excitement is building up because of the Ironman 70.3 in Branson on September 19, 2010. The inaugural race will take place. The Ironman 70.3 Branson will serve as one of the 34 worldwide qualifying events for the 2010 Foster Grant Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Clearwater, Florida. Clearly an even worth to watch as it is exciting as well.

I’d like to stay at the Hilton Branson Convention Center while getting updated with the latest events that are happening in the race. At least I’d get to see the action live while I can also rest when it’s about time to sleep. It’s an all-in-one vacation and sporting event I don’t want to miss!

Before it was 150, I went down to 145. From 32 to 30. I lost 5 pounds and 2 inches? –> haha, I sound like a Dodo from an As Seen on TV commercial testifying for a product that promises you’ll get your desired body in just 2 weeks!  Haha.

But indeed I’ve lost weight. I don’t know if I’d hold going to the gym accountable since there was a point last week wherein I had to stay at home because I got sick. But despite that, I still went to the office to work. I was extremely exhausted at that time already that I just wanted to go on leave from work. I guess that made me thinner in some way. Lesson then? Get sick, lose weight! haha.

I still have about a week before my membership expires and I’m wondering if I still need to renew it when I can try joining another class so I’d know how to do a back flip. Oh well.
