Lights, misery and fitness
One of the things that’s keeping me sane and healthy is my recent return to health and fitness. A recurring theme in this blog is my never ending woes about my health and weight issues, which usually led to a lot of respiratory and reproductive problems. Following my office’s transfer to the Central Business District (CBD), I started a…
Let’s get physical
I spent the last few weeks chained to my desk job, a tiresome activity that is starting to lose its luster and allure in me. After a week of pencil-pushing and getting stressed, I could feel myself expanding like a helium balloon about to launched in space. The stressful nature of the past event didn’t…
Superhuman, possible.
In a perfect world, I wish to believe that I run through sheer willpower and awesomeness, and yes the manic OCness that feeds my desire to arrange and plan everything. In my desperate bid to be “Employee of the Century”, I have resorted to working 12-hour work days, literally burning the candle both ends until…
Running! (another installment of the Bilbil Chronicles) – Day 53 for Project 365
Here’s what I see on my running trail every time. Yes, that’s our office building who looked so nice against the setting sun. Day 2 of the Bilbil Chronicles, and yes I still have my amazing love handles. They are safely and happily ensconced on my mid tummy. But I can see a slight improvement…
A hop, a skip, a heartbeat – an installment of the Bilbil Chronicles (Day 51/Project 365)
Took this before I started my 30-minute run after work earlier. I haven’t been exercising for months now and it showed. I was barely running for five minutes when I started losing air and gasping for dear breath. As usual, I trailed the pack but couldn’t care less. In my head, I was quite sure…
Sickly Me (Days 20 & 21/Project 365)
Day 20 Day 21 The absence of a post yesterday was due to another battle with high fever and a cough that seems to never go away. I don’t know what happened to me, I used to be really sturdy and I barely get sick. But now, just one wrong move on the AC or…
I am now a health buff… riiiiiiiiiight.
Because I have been told that I had to shed layers and layers of fat if I have plans to procreate, I am now more determined than ever to revert to my previous size….or at least, get rid of this annoying pouch of fat that I have been carrying in my belly for the last…
The Common Colds Survival Kit
I am tempted to name this post: THE SNOT SURVIVAL KIT but a strong sense of decorum and the fact that I am not that SHAMELESS stopped me from doing so. Anyway, since I’ve spilled the beans on the original title of this post, we move on. The reason for the absence of a post…
“Sa una lang masakit…”
It’s only painful in the beginning… Wipe that freaking leer off your face, you dirty minded freak. 🙂 I was talking about my first day doing Muay Thai, yes your favorite tub of lard has finally decided to lift her butt off her swivel chair and be healthy for once. I don’t know if it’s…
