yummy grilled pork chops

While I'm typing this, I am so craving hubby's grilled pork chops. He made some BBQ pork chops last night, we went grocery shopping over at Sea food city by National City. It was just Delish. Yummy! My gosh, my stomach is just growling non-stop just thinking about it. Sue me for not eating when we went to Taco Bell today, I was full at the time and I only ordered a sparkling Limeade. I just want to go downstairs right now and heat up a piece of pork chop. But it's just totally wrong! The time is now 10:43 in the evening and eating at this late hour is a total NO-NO.
I received The biggest loser DVD from the mail a few days ago, I got it as a reward from my GYM points. You see, I wasn't expecting this at all - we thought we'll be having a bodybugg when we reach 24 medals. We were so upset, it was only 6 months! I had a notice from my email that we needed to choose a reward before it gets forfeited. Boo!
But anyways, I'm on round 2 so I'll try my best to answer more surveys and earn more points so when I reach the 6 month I'll have enough points for a bodybugg. YAY! Anyhoo, back to those lip smacking chops - I'll keep myself busy so I can totally forget about my hunger right now. The wolf in my stomach is hungry and needs to be stopped! (LOL)

being healthy

So the husband went to the gym today leaving me with Nathan. We take turns going to the gym since his cousins are usually not home to babysit. Plus Jon is trying very hard to be fit for his physical on Tuesday, we're praying so hard that he'll pass it. If he passes it - basic training will be on October! I'll start focusing more on my weight loss. Speaking of weight loss, me and the hubs added fiber (Metamucil) to our daily diet, and my oh my - It's pretty good! If you are more into diet pills I suggest you check out this site called weightlosspills.net that way you can learn more about weight loss pills that are out in the market, It's better to be safe than sorry. Anyways, I can never get back to using diet pills, ever. My body hates it so much so I guess exercising and proper diet works fine for me.

almost there...

But not quite. Not yet. What am I talking about? Well, It's all about how to reduce stomach fat. Yeah, I think we all need to do this, especially me, I'm not getting any younger. Most of my co-workers are telling me that they regret it not losing weight before they reached their thirties, now It is so hard for them to lose the belly fat. I don't want to be like that, not in a million years! So, While It's early I need to lose weight as much as I can in a about a year, I'm taking my time. I enjoy going to the gym along side hubby and we are doing a great progress! I have lost a total of 30 lbs. and I am so proud of it! Hubby lost about 50 lbs now, he had a huge belly but now I can see his ribs now, hopefully I can say bye-bye belly fat in no time.

weight loss update :)

OK, It's the 1st of February and we all know It's the month of hearts once again! and LOVE will surely be every where. (sigh) It's been 4 months now since I started working out so far, I weighed in at 223 today using the GYM's scale, I probably weigh less than 223 since I have all my clothes on as well as my shoes. That's a total of 25 lbs. lost. It's really hard to lose weight, sometimes It goes down and sometimes you gain it back, It takes weeks before you lose a pound! But It's alright, I am taking my time, since It's better that way than losing weight dramatically, right?

Me and hubby were at the Hospital this morning for his blood test and while waiting for his turn we were talking about babies.. hehee, BABIES - I know! He told me that he wants to at least have 2 more kids and this time We'll probably have shorter age gaps this time. We'll just have to be settled first, It's hard being pregnant when you are living on other people's homes, You don't want them to be burdened by you especially when you have your pains (ouch). I promised hubby as long as I'm slim and healthy I can be pregnant. A lot of people kept on telling me why wait later when you can get pregnant right now, then lose the weight later. I'm like helloooo.... I don't want to add any more weight. I am heavy as it is and I don't want to risk my pregnancies for being too overweight, It's better to be safe than sorry.

Anyhoo, I'm so excited to tell you guys that I finally can fit into my size L shirts! yayy! I remember back in October my hubby's cousin gave me a size L shirt but it didn't fit me! I swear I couldn't breathe and I had a hard time taking it off, too. Then we went to the Nike factory outlet in Las americas, We bought 2 shirts there that was on sale, one XL and one L. Boy, I was dismayed to find out that the size L didn't fit me at all. It was a waste because I couldn't take it back anymore due to the fact that I ripped the tag off. Just great. One night, I took the one of the size L shirts and tried it to see if there was any change at all and I was amazed how it fitted me so well! I felt like the heavens opened up and the angels started singing. yes, I was that surprised. You may not notice it yet but my waist kinda trimmed down, and when I wore my skinny jeans yesterday I finally realized I needed to wear a belt now. amazing.

So if you are losing hope on losing weight, Please hang on as much as you can. We just need that little bit of motivation from friends and family, and keep on telling yourself that YOU CAN DO IT! Don't let people judge you and always be positive in life. So say it with me - We can do this!

working out

As you all know I've been working out at the gym since October 1st, and I have lost a total of 25 lbs! You can't really see any difference when you see my pictures because I'm still not below 200 lbs. yes, you got that right - I am that heavy! I'm pretty upset at myself for gaining all that weight. Pretty stupid of me. :( at 5'6 you can't really tell.



I forgot to tell you that hubby has also enrolled himself at 24 hour fitness, woot! Since he has lost about 40 lbs he still needs to lose about 30 more before meeting the Army recruiter. I just hope we can do this, we go to the gym almost everyday. I've never seen my husband so dedicated in losing weight. We're both motivated if we both workout at the same time, It's pretty awesome. I already left LA fitness and transferred to 24 hour fitness, They have a pretty good deal if you ask me, plus their place is just walking distance from our home. So yeah, If I leave the 200 spot you'll notice a bigger difference. Right now, I feel lighter, my pants are getting looser, my rings fit me well (no more resizing) and My skin as well as my whole body feels healthier than before. I'm giving myself about a year to reach my goal. SO wish us luck!

under renovation

Well, I decided to go for a new look and make things much much organized and easier... I finally switched to blogger's XML templates (goodbye classic). It's kinda hard tweaking it but I am enjoying my simple blogy blix theme. I still have to add a lot of sidebar contents and just in case you don't see your link there - please understand that I am still currently fixing my links, I am in the process of deleting broken links as well. so yeah...

I'm on 2 weeks leave, yayy! I am so happy coz I get to blog again, of course. finish some lil projects I need to do like the scrap page I am giving away for a co-worker/friend that is leaving for the Philippines around the 27th of July. and I'm currently making scrap pages for my supervisor's new office wall, she told me it was soooo bare! I'm truly honored, I may say. The little one's summer school ended today but I didn't make him go to school anymore due to his coughing. he had a fever the other day and yesterday he was fine since he went to school but now he is coughing really bad. All you can smell here in the house is Tylenol grape flavor and Vicks. poor guy... anyway, as I was saying, summer school has ended and now I have plenty of time to do the things I needed to do like organize the closets and the pantry and throw away or donate the things we really don't need around here. general cleaning, of course! and make time for the GYM, I am soooo happy coz after going back to the gym for 2 days I've seen results from my pants, can you believe that? I really need to stick to it, besides I don't have to pay for it like I used to back in 24hr fitness in 2004, It's one of the greatest benefits of working for the federal. I also need to finish my brother Gully's memorial website before Aug. 17, 2009 to mark his 1st death anniversary. I am also planning to revamp (how many times do I have to say this?) my This and that blog, I still wanna keep that and no plans of deleting it. hmmm... what else? I think that's it. I'll keep you guys posted... to my visitors who still come here and visit, I LOVE YOU, GUYS!!! Godspeed.
