Truth About My Weight

Hello! Today's Sunday. My mag-ama went out for a basketball game. John kasi would always play basketball kapag Sunday, sinama nya si Johann. Perfect time for me to blog! :)

I just want to share to you (if I have readers. lol.) some things about me and my weight.

When I was dalaga, I was thinner. Chubby, but thinner, compared now. My height is 5"1" and my weight before is from 115lbs to 118lbs. It even went down to 108lbs to 110lbs but average would be the first weight I mentioned. I fit a size Medium in most of the clothes. Large kapag masikip sa arms. Sa arms kasi talaga nagkakatalo. I have brusko arms so if Medium ang damit pero masikip sa arms, I change it to Large. So yeah, Medium to Large ako. Get the picture?

I really looked young, pretty and blooming then. Kasi comfortable ako sa everything. Clothes, face, tummy not showing etc. Now kasi, I feel bloated, fat, parang my clothes kept on shrinking on me na hindi na ako kasya sakanila. Haha!

When I got pregnant, I was not that fat. I gained weight but not too much, so I figured, mabilis babalik ang katawan ko. Johann was not that big din when I had him. First few months, I was a typical na nanganak. Still the same weight when I was pregnant. But as months passed, I gained and gained.

Preggy. 6-7 months na yata ako nyan. 

I am a stay-at-home mommy. Johann's malikot but I make it bawi sa food intake lagi. When I am depressed or stressed, I eat. When I am pagod, I eat. When I am happy, I still eat! Haha. No exercise.

Honestly, that is may be one reason why I seldom go out. I am so conscious of how I look and how I weigh. I get ill-tempered that I can't wear any nice clothes anymore 'coz hindi na kasya yung mga luma kong damit. I also seldom buy clothes that's why I have only a number to choose from. I am not kasi a type of person na would wear sexy clothes or fitted clothes kahit mataba. May iba kasi, mukhang suman sa damit if they wear uber fitted eh. No offense meant to those who wear clothes like that. It's just that it is not me. I am not comfortable with that eh.

I enrolled back to boxing and even gym. (Dati pala, kaya ako payat kasi, nagboboxing ako sa Elorde and nagggym ako sa Fitness First. Sarado na kasi Elorde sa SM Southmall kaya nakakatamad na sa malayo magboxing.) Anyway, I enrolled in a boxing gym located in Madrigal Business Park, Alabang. 4 months ako naka-enroll. Come 4th month, medyo tinatamad nako. Lost few pounds. But ever since I stopped, I gained again. I have been telling John, if I really want to lose weight, dapat consistent ang gym ko. Since I am not enrolled anymore, pano ako magwowork out? Sis in law ko kasi, payat na. Pero it took her more than 2 years din, bago na maintain yung figure. Kasi, hindi natatanggal gym nya. There would be times na she's lazy to go but atleast, anytime, she can come back. That's what I want. Pero siyempre, we're not that mayaman naman. So dapat, once enrolled, sulitin. Which I didn't.

Why am I gaining? It is because I am a rice person. Take note. I eat lunch and dinner. Twice lang ha? Pero since I eat rice, I keep on gaining weight. Usually pa kasi, 1 and half cup rice ako. Haha! If masarap ulam, hanggang 2 cups. lol. In between meals, I seldom eat. Pero if eat usually fatty food. Ice cream, chocolate, sweets, or junk food. Diba? Sino ba naman di tataba non?

However, there are people who I really idolize for their dedication in losing weight. They are Mommy Fleur, Mommy Cheryll, Tina de Guzman and Joanne Avila (friends of mine) and Marie Flores (also a friend). I have been observing them for almost 2-3 months now. They are losing weight. Kailangan talaga ang mind set. San ba nakakabili non? Pa-order nga ako.

I tend to be tamad talaga kasi at times. Pero as I said, I need my mind to be set in order for me to get back into my dalaga weight. Exercise, eat well and control.

Ate Che of Out of The Box Ideas, told me, I should reveal, make kwento and blog it so the whole world (lol. daming readers?) will witness this. Para mag-pursige ako magpapayat. I will start again tomorrow. Jogging, diet and control. No rice, no sweets etc.

Will update what and how I am doing about this project me, soon! :)

Current weight: 145lbs. Kapag busog, 148lbs. Haha! :D

Finally!

I.have.been.suffering.from.a.molar.pain! Really! Years nadin ito, maybe two years. The pain actually comes and goes. Before, it was tolerable and I can just drink mefenamic acid for a few days and it's gone.

But last Thursday, it started to give me real pain as in mega pain. It was killing me! 1000mg of mefenamic acid is kind of OA na, but I had to drink that much because it was really painful.

Saturday and Sunday, I started asking for opinion from 2 friends. One was my close Kulasa friend, Iris, of Three Hand Star, and the other was Dominique, a dentistry student friend.

Iris and I had a conversation regarding how painful it was etc. It was a typical kwentuhan lang talaga when she mentioned her dentist. I was having second thoughts on him because he doesn't have a clinic here in south. He has a clinic in Manila though. I know he is good. Magaan din ang kamay. We would usually look for a dentist na magaan ang kamay, right? I know this for a fact because he was my dentist too. Not really officially but since I had him clean my teeth before a couple of times din, I consider him as my dentist. :)

I asked my partner in crime, Iris, to text Doc Glenn and ask for some info regarding my condition. She agreed.

The following day, I messaged Dominique, to ask some questions and shared to her what pain I'm going through with my tooth. With the series of question and answer, she concluded that the tooth is impacted. Well, I had a feeling too.. (goodness of researching in google). She recommended a dentist that has a clinic in Manila. Only to find out, it was the same dentist. After talking to her, I finally came to a decision that I will have my tooth extracted by Doc Glenn. Que se hodang Manila, gora padin! Full support pa! John and Johann went there with me. Hihi.

Had an appointment with him last Tuesday. Agad agad, the extraction was done in 30 - 40 minutes. Or maybe less. I requested it to be removed agad because I really can not take the pain anymore. He approved naman eh. Good thing, the tooth did not give him nor me a hard time.

Though, that night, while the anesthesia was wearing off, I had so much pain. I was crying like a baby. Di ko kinaya mga teh! Tagos hanggang buto.. hanggang ulo.. lahat na!! I had to double again the mg of the pain reliever plus more meds! hahaha. Overdose!

Now, it's not that painful anymore. Still has little pain but tolerable. I'll go back on Saturday to have my stitches removed. Will there be pain again? Hope not!

I am a happy person again! Haha. Having that kind of pain made me crazy as a B would be!

What I need to do now is to make ipon naman to have my lower left 3rd molar extracted too! The one removed was the lower right 3rd molar kasi eh.

Sooo now.. Where's the tooth fairy?? :)

Ultimate Challenge for 2013

I know most of you have New Year's Resolution right? Well, I do too. I have a lot actually. Hihi.. However, this year, I want to challenge myself with blogging more often than I used to.

FYI, I have been blogging since highschool. I usually and literally make kwento of what happened that day. How I felt that day or what I accomplished that day. Before, I make poems of some sort. Always yun! And then I blog about it. I stopped blogging during the fun times in College. I wished I didn't stop because college would be the most interesting part of my life.

Now, I am a wife and mom. Not that I'm saying, my life's boring. It's just that, I am a stay-at-home mom. Everyday experience is always something new but, I don't know why I don't blog about them. For me, it's bitin kasi. I get to share a lot if I go out. Eh the thing is, I/We seldom go out.

So, my challenge for myself is to blog more often. This is my ULTIMATE challenge/NY Resolution for 2013.

Goodluck with that! Hehe.

Question: How about you, what is New Year's Resolution?
