Exercise Time!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel so full. I’ve been feeling full eversince we visited the Philippine store last Sunday because I’ve been eating non-stop since then. This is one reason why I try to stay away from the Philippine store. I seem to have this urge to finish everything I buy there in one day. I’ve been jumping on the scale every chance I get to see how much I’ve gained so far…LOL. And yes, I managed to gain some already…or maybe it only seems that I have because I weigh right after stuffing food in me. Hmm…oh well, even if I’m not gaining much, I know I should start getting on the treadmill and start using my Adidas shoes that hubby got me eons ago. Aside from helping me with my weight, I read in one medical site that exercise can also help with my restless leg syndrome. I hope so because the thyroid meds I’m taking don’t seem to be doing the job with my RLS.


So starting tomorrow, I am planning in doing what I should have done a long time ago when I started having RLS, walk on the treadmill. I’ve had the treadmill for few years now and I’ve never really used it. I did use it before going to California for a friend’s wedding. I was so serious then in shaping up that I had a whole exercise routine aside from the treadmill and I got me a really nice of athletic shoes to motivate me in exercising. Well, I have no wedding to go to anytime soon but my RLS will probably be enough reason to give this exercise thing another go.


I’m not alone though this time. The husband also wants to start exercising regularly as well. We even went shopping for discount shoes last weekend for his biking shoes. It has been our longest plan to start biking together as a family. The bike trail near here was actually one of the reasons we chose the area. The little one has also been practicing and soon she will be ready for the training wheels to come off. Now all we need are bikes for me and the husband. Aha!

Good luck as you embark on that exercise regime! When Hubby got his threadmill, it was only used for about 3-4 months then it just stood as an ornament! Hahaha! When we came here in Aus, we sold it. Better for somebody using it than just pile on dust in our garage!

Anyways, it has been sunny here this week. That massive rain almost destroyed the million dollar mansions in the Gold Coast because of the sand errosion. Hay, weird weather everywhere!

Enjoy the this Thursday! Wednesday pa rin ba jan?

That would be a lot of fun going on biking with the family. I'm sure, the li'l lady will be the one who'd enjoy it the most.

Daughter here is also contemplating on buying a treadmill. But I am opposing the idea. I told her to just walk back and forth inside the house just like what we are doing.
Nagtitipid lang naman, actually. he he..

Thanks for the visit. Lapit na pala mawala ang Phil. Store dyan sa inyo. Pano ka na?

See yah again, J!

Unused Keyboard

When the little one was about 8 she asked 'Santa' for a keyboard for Christmas. It was one of the many items in her list and she knew that not all in her list will be fulfilled. Still, we, I mean Santa brought her a keyboard. Since I'm usually the one in-charge of looking for the items in her list, I started by checking out http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ since they have anything and everything music related. I'm not sure where we got the keyboard from but she was ecstatic and was excited to play it for a good couple of days. Fast forward to present time, the keyboard is still practically brand new. It's stashed in the corner of her closet for the last 6 years. But it seems it's not forgotten yet because she just brought it up in one of our conversations over the weekend. So who knows? Maybe she's dust it off and start learning on how to play it. I hope....

I'm talking about our little one! She moves sooooo sllllooooowwww in the morning. I get tired just waiting for her to finish her morning rituals. Right now she's there and she's been there for ages.

Believe it or not, it takes her approximately 30 minutes to finish her business in the bathroom. She only does 3 things there - pee, brush her teeth and change her clothes! Just three! I still do the combing of her hair because it's really long. She can't manage it yet. Here's a shot of her hair from the back...see how long it is?? I can only imagine if she has to comb it herself. She'll probably be in the bathroom the whole day.

Drafts, Etc....

It's been a while since I last posted. I must say it's not because of the lack in attempts because I have several drafts in my folder to dispute that. The drafts though are all unfinished. Why? It's either I got disrupted by work or I just couldn't finish it one way or another. But I'm here now.

So what had happened since my last post? Not much actually. I've been trying to keep myself occupied with work mostly but I still get a bit bored most days. It used to be that surfing online would keep my entertained I don't know why but I feel like I need to go on a vacation...even if we just came back from a month-long vacation a couple months ago. I guess stress is getting into me somehow that's why I want to have a get-away. I actually miss home. I don't know what triggered it but it started a couple of weeks ago. The hundreds [maybe a thousand plus] pictures we took when we were there a few months ago are still sitting in my picture folder and I have j…
