The most awaited third leg of the Run Rio Trilogy is finally happening on September 16, 2012! If you already run for the previous legs, Run United 1 and Run United 3, you should never miss Run United 3!
My month long weight loss challenge is almost done and we're scheduled for our final weigh in next week. Now on my fourth week, I have already lost 5 pounds thank goodness! I regularly took my C-lium Fibre, did the exercises (when I can, haha!), and cut my calorie intake. There's one thing I forgot to do though, and it's to take multivitamins. I've been sick these past few days which really surprised me because I seldom go down with the flu.

I love my long straight hair. I've been sporting this do since my first hair rebond session. But sometimes, hair products make my hair limp so I wash it every other day. The effect wasn't good either, as it made my hair more unmanageable. Pantene's new Nature Care Collection may be the solution to my problem.
Pantene Nature Care Collection combines trusted Pantene Pro-V technology with the natural power of the cassia flower, aloe vera, calendula, and ginger to produce Cassia Complex. Thus, hair is cared for and conditioned while keeping it full of life.
The 4th week of of C-Lium Lose More, Live More challenge has been both the most anticipated and most dreaded week. This week, we all meet again, together with Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Season 1 finalists, Art Mendoza and Angela Lupangco, at CrossFit Manila in Taguig. Thinking about CrossFit weeks before that sent me the shivers because I knew that it would be thrice as intense as the MetaFIT routine I've been doing.
I'm no stranger to yoga. I used to regularly attend the yoga class in my gym until I stopped going there. At home, I would practice doing poses but that was not a regular thing. The yoga I know had poses such as the Sun Salutation, Downward-facing Dog, Warrior Pose, Cobra Pose, Chair Pose and the like. Unknown to me, this kind of yoga was Yang Yoga, the opposite of Yin Yoga.
It's now the third week of the month-long C-Lium Lose More, Live More challenge. Unlike the first and second week, the changes I saw this week are minimal. My blood pressure and blood sugar level are maintained at normal levels, though. There's no remarkable weight loss but I lost 2 inches off my waistline once again. (You can read about my first and second weeks HERE and HERE.)
This week has been the most challenging so far in terms of dieting. The crazy monsoon rains place our town underwater once again and my sister, brother, their kids, and a cousin, evacuated their home to stay with us. The rains, the company of my siblings, and the warm food that we shared proved to be the perfect ingredients for a diet disaster. I found myself eating a cup of rice even for dinner. Tsk!
Lately, I've been listening to trance music while working. I have been so into it that I also listen to trance music while doing my cardio workout. I have also tried dancing to trance music when I have extra time.
Yes, trance can also be used for exercise. Here's one that I enjoy listening and dancing to.
Long weekends are here again and many of us are heading to the beach for some rest and recreation. But one thing about the beach that no one likes is prolonged exposure to the sun.
How's everyone? The torrential monsoon rains have caused major flooding in my beloved town once again. It was like having Ondoy happen all over again. And because it's inevitable for most of us to walk in the flood, I thought of sharing with you this infographic on how to prevent infection from leptospirosis.

One week has already gone by from the first day I started my weight loss journey with C-Lium Fibre. It hasn't been that easy because sleeping in and not exercising has already become a tough habit to break. My initial lab test results really forced me to do something about my weight. I don't want to die of a heart attack! (For those of you who were able to read about my initial laboratory results, you can do so by clicking HERE.)
One of the challenges I face in working out at home is the absence of exercise equipments. My living room is tiny and my bedroom is just as small so I really can't afford to install exercise equipments. I enrolled in a gym two years ago because I wanted to workout on a treadmill, stairmaster, and the like. But the traffic going to the gym was always horrible so I end up staying home most of the time.

As you may have read in my past posts, I am constantly looking for ways to increase my cash flow and save for my retirement fund. Freelance writers like me don't get the luxury of having a pension come retirement unlike corporate employees. I'm scared of what has to come, really. What do I have to call that's mine when I'm old and gray? Is waiting for support from my child and sharing mybhusband's pension my only options?
