Milestone: Dress to DeStress

05.17.13

This has been one freaky Friday. My gurlies have full schedule for the day and the hubby was called to conduct a basketball clinic for the juveniles (which he has been doing since last year and it gives him fulfillment). It has just been so fortunate for us that the month of May (aside from it is my birth month) is our vacation month. Thus, I was able to accompany Jelena for her drum lessons and assist her in doing her Kumon assignment.

she finished a level and i am a proud mama. 

In between Jelena's full schedule in the morning, I still have to bring Jessica to Musikademy for her voice lessons (which I have to do quickly because Lena will go wild with the thought that I left her). And in the afternoon, Jessica has to be at the Couple's For Christ center again for their band practice. I salute Jessica's enthusiasm for music!

At the end of the day, It was not a freaky Friday after all. It has been a day of consolation and affirmation. First, Jelena has been progressing well in her reading lessons and she is now gaining confidence at playing the drum. Second, Jessica received good feedback during her voice assessment and she qualified to join their recital. Lastly, I found my favorite chocolate (at SM City Davao dept. store) which was introduced to me by Ruel whom I miss so much. 

sugar rush, anyone?!

This day was a proof that in life everything is a choice. Our choices and responses influence the life we weave and the person we become The ball was on our hands and we chose to be positive amidst a busy day. Our good vibes might have come from right attitude and was spiced by dressing up to beat the summer heat. We joined the bandwagon and had our first family "outfit of the day".

Delish Treat: Rice- less

My birthday month is in two days and it only means I am turning a year older. As I advance in age, I really desire much and pray hard for self- actualization. However, there is this narcissistic concern which is hounding me real time --- MY WEIGHT!

Unlike before, my weight is not what I eat. Now, I have to watch what I eat if I do not want to go beyond my healthy weight. So, my weight- loss resolution number one is to cut on rice. It is a good thing that my husband and I have the same goal, thus, he is quite supportive of what and where to eat. So, for our dinner Sundate, I had Dunkin Donut's corned beef salad bunwich with additional egg and cheese. It tastes decent but I would prefer lesser mayo because it was a little messy to eat and so i can taste the corned beef more.

I have been trying my rice-less resolution for weeks now but i must say it is a struggle for a big eater and a foodie like me. Though, I have been trying, I have cheated during dinner when I took some of Nonoy's fries and coke (cutting on soft drinks is a bigger struggle though).

As I turn three-one, I really desire much and pray hard to have healthy lifestyle. If I would like to maintain my healthy weight and stay away from illness, I should not only be conscious of what I eat but I should overhaul my lifestyle which includes exercising (less on being lazy), taking my vitamins and supplements (cut on being forgetful) and of course I have to enrich my spiritual being as well (never to give less on God and minus the pessimism). I am hoping that this renewed lifestyle will be actualized now as a way of giving back to my Creator. 

Cheers to a healthier us!
