My Impacted Wisdom Tooth Was Finally Removed

This is the day! For more than a week now, I am being bothered by this toothache. Yung wisdom tooth ko may butas so I'm really cautious kung malalagyan sya ng mga excess food dahil I'm afraid na sumakit sya. If that would happen, goodbye food na dahil yung pangnguya ko ay yung tooth next to it. For sure, I wont be able to eat hard food anymore since ang pwede ko nalang ipang chew are my front teeth. Noooh, para akong lola nun. My friend Melai even teased me to just settle for Gerber and Marie nalang kung ayaw ko syang ipabunot. Lol. Kaya heto, after three hours of convincing myself na kailangan ko nang ipabunot ang wisdom tooth ko...my hubby already made an appointment with a Dental Clinic near our place to have my surgery facilitated at around 3pm the same day. After lunch and after watching our favorite korean telenovela's at TV5 "Gusto Ko Noon" (sobra I'm hooked) - we hurriedly went to the clinic. Before we go, we prayed together for a safe operation. To be honest with you, sobrang takot ako as in. I really got so nervous and afraid of what might happen but I entrust everything to the Lord. I lifted up to Him everything and prayed for guidance. So ayun, we went to the clinic at exactly 3pm. The dentist, Dr. Palma, is

LOST 10 LBS IN A MONTH!

Unbelievable but true! I am so happy to say that I lost almost 10 lbs from April 20-May 20. I have posted a blog about my previous weight here and it was then around 177 lbs. I have posted another picture of the same weighing scale carrying me - only ten pounds lighter. I am so happy and very excited. After four weeks of drinking 2 boxes of Zhen de Zhou and going to the gym at least 3x a week - my sacrifices paid off. I do now weigh 167 lbs! I know I still have a long way to go in achieving my target weight of 130 lbs but I know in God's grace - I will be able to have the patience and the will in losing these extra weight. Aja!

First Day of Workout

I did it! At last, I've made the hardest first step! I with my friend Mamu had our workout a while ago and I may say... I feel good! We met at around 2 PM because Mamu is late! I am already inside the bus thinking he won't come to our meeting place but thank God he texted me saying he is already on his way so I hurriedly went out of the bus and waited for him at Robinsons Galleria. Worked on the treadmill for 30 minutes but since the gym is already full packed - we decided to just stay at the sauna room for another 30 minutes. After the workout, my friend paid for our dinner @ Maxs. We ordered a very light meal, batchoy and calamansi juice. I really felt refreshed and I would definitely make it a point to go to the gym at least 3x a week. Lord help me.

PS:
I am now currently weighing 180 lbs...I hope I can lose these extra 50 lbs I have. I know it's almost impossible to make it in 3 months but I am still praying. Wish me luck!

First Day of the Rest of My Life

I've made a very crucial decision today and I know it would change everything in my life. I've decided to lose weight. I made a promise to myself that this 2009 - I'll gonna do everything to revive back who I was 5 years ago. I want to get back everything I lost and lose everything I gained. I hope and pray I would be a different person a year from now. I want a more confident, more beautiful and a happier Myles and I would do everything to be what I want to be. I've weigh myself today and I can't believe my eyes...a whooping 80 kilos (approx. 176 lbs) showed up on the scale. I almost cried. I can't believe how I taken my body for granted. How I abused myself. How I lost self control. I promise I would be different from now on. I know I still have so much to do and I don't want to die young because of some sickness associated with obesity. I must act now and work on my diet plan so I hurriedly got my ipod and did some aerobics. I also drunk a slimming tea and would try drinking fitrum later. I can't believe how I abused myself and I hope losing weight would be easier for me this time.

CANCEROUS FOODS / PRODUCTS

Received an email forwarded to me by my Big Brother and I believe I need to share this info to everyone as some of these products are already part of our daily lives.

INSTANT NOODLES

Dear instant noodle lovers,
Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles before you eat your next packet! Please read the info shared to me by a doctor. My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after hearing about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant noodles do not stick to each other when cooking.

If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market, one will notice that, in their uncooked state the noodles are oily. This layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking together.

Wanton noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to prevent them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking them in hot water again. This process is repeated several times before the noodles are ready to be served. The cooking and rinsing process prevents noodles from sticking together.

The hawker then "lowers the noodles in oil and sauce to prevent the noodles from sticking if they are to be served dry. Cooking instructions for spaghetti require oil or
