Day 18 of 365: "It's the End of the World as we Know it and

21st Dec. 2012
It's the end if the world, supposedly.

...and yet I'm still here...and eating away.

My hopes of having some sort of routine failed today.

1st: I woke up late.
2nd: We had a heavy (yet delightful lunch)
3rd: My attempt to get a hardcore swim workout failed because the water was freeeeezing!
4th: I was surprisingly very, very hungry today. All I could think about was TOAST...and BUTTER!

Anyhow, tomorrow is a new day. I know, it's a bit ambitious to start a routine while in vacation. But I realized that IF I REALLY, TRULY WANT IT TO HAPPEN, IT'S UP TO ME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

So for today's end-of-the-world feast:
Malaysian Food
Toast
Banana
Chocolates
Dessert pudding
Hotdog sandwich
Two hot chocolates
And plenty of water.

Tomorrow morning, I'm going to the gym. I'm getting my routine ON!

Day 17 of 365: Friends and Food

20th Dec. 2012
Reunion Time...that also means food time!

So I had a wonderful evening with my fantastic friends from high school when it occurred to me, I need a routine.

No really, I NEED A ROUTINE!

The hubby and I had a late breakfast and I mean LATE. And yes, it was because of me. Having woken up at 11am I pretty much lounged about and was only ready to go at around 3pm.

Honestly, I need a routine and here's why:

1. A routine keeps you on track with meals. That means your glucose doesn't affect you which also means you turn into a beast by the time you realize how hungry you are. Plus, you don't overeat.

2. You don't feel lost or confused in what to do that day. Yes, that included exercise in the equation.

Speaking of which...

3. A routine also means having schedules a work out in your day.

Today we walked to and fro our destinations and it was great. We also saved a whole lot of money because we didn't pay for a cab.

4. A routine keeps you in check and on track regardless of whether or not you're on vacation.

Day 16 of 365: Dehydration on Vacation

19th Dec. 2012
Dehydration on Vacation

Sometimes you forget about be ONE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE: WATER and plenty of it!

Today, I had to pee in a cup. Yes, you read that correctly. As part of acquiring a driver's license here in the Philippines, one of the things you have to go through is a medical exam and yes, that includes a urine sample. Thanks to that I realized how dehydrated I was.

Despite water being the only thing I drink anymore (okay maybe coffee too), I discovered I still haven't been drinking as much. What a toll this pits on my body! The irritability, the feeling of almost passing out, the heat all leads up to this: dehydration.

The food may seem like a lot but again, I really didn't have much. The heat was really getting to me. Not much of an appetite.

No exercise again today. Unless i count the 15-minute walk from the mall to my grandma's. Tomorrow is definitely going to be a hardcore workout. Watch out all! I'm still here!
