I am such a sickly girl. I always tell my friends that I think my immune system is non-existent. A simple change in weather would give me fever,colds, cough and asthma attack. I have allergic rhinitis. So if the road on my way to work is dusty, expect a runny nose in the morning and a visit to our ever-reliable nurse.

So this year, my goal is to be healthier. My cousin whose only 30+ yrs old suffered a mild stroke just last week. And well, that served as my wake up call. I am getting older and I need to take care of my self.

They say I’m chubby. Well, I’m a little rounded and so very not model-thin but I know I am not fat. I cannot even consider myself chubby. I am okay. My BMI is normal. Though I have baby fats distributed all around my body. Baby fats that needs to be hidden. Thanks for my fashion sense dear fashion goddess! :)

I started going to the gym. Not just to lose weight but to gain strength and increase my stamina and endurance. I said goodbye to soft drinks because I am acidic and I know that soft drinks don’t do the body any good. I said goodbye to alcoholic drinks last year because, well because I hate the feeling of being hang-over and I find it much more exciting to watch my friends get drunk and do stupid things. Harhar! I am now starting my no-rice policy because my big boss told me that saying goodbye to rice is the secret to her new sexy body. :)

I am proud of my curves and I never wish to be stick thin. But I have to accept the fact that I am aging gracefully and I have to make my health a priority. Though getting flat stomach and having firmer arms and legs would be a great bonus. You know, summer is fast approaching and I want to wear swimsuits without worrying about my flabs. Hahahaha!

So thankful that I have a Boss whose willing to be our personal fitness trainer for free! And since he’s my boss, I am forced to follow his every instruction. Patay ako pag hindi ko sinunod eh. He also constantly reminds us of the food we are eating.  And since we are basically together 5days a week, wala akong lusot!

So far I am loving my gym time. Though I have body aches the next day, it serves as a reminder that I did great at the gym. And well, no pain, no gain right? :) I am proud to say that I can now run on the treadmill for 10 minutes straight. I swear! I only walk on the treadmill or do a walk-run-walk-walk-run-walk thing. So mas madami padin yung walk. See? Stamina right there! @_@

I am far from the strength, stamina and endurance thing but I am getting there. I am taking things one step at a time. And I won’t stop until I am healthier. Hopefully next year, I can have that health bonus! *cross fingers* And that flat stomach. *double cross fingers*

Alright! It’s official! Summer is here. It’s so hot everywhere. Even at the office, I tell you.

Anyway, I’m on a very unusual diet churva lately. Been reading about foods that doesn’t work well on my body based on my blood type. And so I haven’t eaten pork for weeks now. I haven’t eaten anything with flour as well since flour seems to cause those extra fats I’ve been sporting lately.

Of course it’s not all just because of losing weight. It seems like it’ll be extremely beneficial to me as well. I can tell that it’s working though. Have shed off some pounds for the past weeks and my friends have been noticing the big difference. I also seem to sleep well lately. Plus my allergies are getting better. See? I’m getting healthier and healthier!

I just hope I can continue with this type of lifestyle. I mean, no pork? Come on! And worst, no flour! So no burgers, pasta, breads and basically everything that I love! And since dairies are part of my no-no list, I’ve been trying to shed off dairies as well but milk is just sooo good I sometimes find myself eating stuffs with milk (ok! most of the time!). I’m sorry! And I’m soooo missing caffeine but my tea addiction is getting worst. I just hope they’d come up with a milk-less Milk Tea (is it even possible?!) because in all honesty, I can’t give up my Matcha Green Tea.

And with that, let me show you what I wore at work last week! I love my top! So much. The fabric is sooooo lovely. That top though isn’t mine. Borrowed (stolen!) from my sister! But I’d sure sneak it out more often. It’s just sooooo gorgeous!

G.p and I had a quick stop at Robinson’s Galleria last Saturday to have our 3rd IPL session at La Estetica. It was a hectic day for both of us since we had other commitments and appointments. Add the bad weather and we’re both a little edgy.

But when I passed by Mondo Juice and saw their gigantic poster showcasing a very yummy looking sandwich, we both stopped. Haha..

I instantly felt extremely hungry so we decided to try it out. We just ordered 1 Chicken Caesar Sandwich (cut in halves) and a Regular Iced Tea.

The sandwich is uber yummy. According to the info written on their walls, they baked their bread themselves to ensure 100% freshness of their sandwich. Cool huh? That’s why I guess their sandwich is really different. Their bread doesn’t taste like the regular ones that we can get on the grocery. Theirs is a little bit crunchy on the outside but uber soft on the inside. I honestly can’t describe it properly. Basta masarap! Their iced tea also taste different. It has this hint of vanilla and some lemon. Again, I can’t describe how it taste like but I can assure you that I loved it! :-)

I really wanna go back there! Maybe soon. Yey!
