just 2 weeks ago, i was happy when i was able to fit comfortably in my old jeans again. but my happiness was short lived as the unsightly muffin top decided to show itself once more.
i was a thin girl since i was 5. during my teenage years, i could eat a mountain of rice and still maintain a slim figure. as soon as i hit my 20's, that's when fats slowly started to grow on me. blame it on *gulp* getting old or on those daily burger, fries and other junk foods that b and i devour in the bus on our way home from my school and from his work.
people i know often ask me if i'm already with child. probably coz my tummy's so big it looks like there's something growing in it. although i'm not offended and just laugh it off and make a joke out of it, i take it as a sign that i really need to get in shape.
the first step i took is to eat light. heavy breakfast of rice + lunch of sandwich or salad + dinner of sandwich or salad. at first, it was easy. but then b started missing regular food and so i sometimes cook chicken or fish dishes or he orders bbq or we eat out. i do try to control myself but how can i not be jealous when my eating companion seems to enjoy every bite of that meat while i'm stuck with a bowl of greens with a dressing (caesar or lemon balsamic) that i'm growing tired of. most of the time, i give in.
another is exercise. some time last last week i was so bitin with the 1 hour running + sit ups but come next session i gave up in just 30 minutes. and then i never exercised after that. because lately i'm so worn out with the pile of tasks i have to finish and then add these health issues i have to deal with almost everyday, it's somewhat difficult to get my as* to work out. or maybe, i just need a different setting. our exercise routine is running back and forth the front yard which is probably less than 10 meters of space. it can get pretty straining on the ankles, all that turning upon reaching each end.
running is the "in" thing these days and frankly, i've been wanting to join one. but b is not much of a fan of these things because it'll only waste his time...the travel to and from plus the hassle of looking for parking space plus all the "ka-ek-ek-an" before and after the run. hahah. he's pretty uptight like that, a no-nonsense guy, so to speak. i pretty much agree with him, though. it can also get pretty expensive with the registration fees and of course, the running gear aka the running outfits. LOL. sorry, i'm vain like that.
so here's the thing, a few minutes ago i asked him if we could run tomorrow morning at the nearby village park before going to the office and he said yes. he even dared me to wake up early. and then i realized that i hate the old jogging pants i use...it isn't even a jogging attire. darn, i think i'll have to call it off.
