Challenge 2008!

Weight Loss!

I officially enrolled in a weight-loss program last week, Thursday (January 24) but just started today. I guess vivid effect can be seen in a month or two hopefully. While the lady was measuring me and my blood pressure was taken, she said, we will try to check and measure after 1 month. I said, no problem. Then I jokingly said, “what if instead of a decreased result in number it would double?” and we laugh so hard about it. She said — “wala na jud paglaum dayon, ma’am!” (surely you will be a hopeless case, Ma’am!)

January 28, Monday – 1 hr and 15 minutes.

wow that was many weeks ago when i had my last session at the gym. i was back at the gym today June 23, 2008 for an hour and ten minutes. I checked my weight and am down to 170. I thought i’d increase because no exercise for two weeks, but i guess if one controls the quantity of food intake – am sure the numbers will still go down. Hope to be back there tomorrow.

June 30 – i brought my PE results to the doctor and when my weight was checked it was 2 lbs down. I can’t believe i weighed 168 bt really i happy.

I’ve stopped my gym session for couple of weeks now because my running shoes got broken – beyond repair coz it was the sole that was almost detached. i think i used it too much when we went up the mountain last time. anyway, i thought of going on brisk walking around the block after work – in my casual clothes and comfy flats.  so today i started it and ive gone far and when i arrived home, it just recorded me walking that far and back for 30 minutes.
