I have never imagined there will come a time that I would need to work 12-14 hours a day and even report for work on weekends… until now. I didn’t think that was even possible. But then again, that’s what the job entails… so be it.

Anyway, with my company being a start-up company, the demand for me to work more overtime is understandable. The good thing about that though is that my boss informed me last night that she will be pulling Justin, one of the best in the night shift, to work on the day shift to be my assistant! Pretty exciting! :D Hopefully, once he’s all trained up, I can concentrate on just the campaign issues and strategizing on how to do volume work in a more efficient manner.

I just wish I get to have my weekends off though. Right now, even the best acne face wash I’m using is not enough to prevent my acne because of too much break out due to stress. I wouldn’t want to look like one of those managers who are still young but has lines and stress written all over their faces…

Oh well, this is just for now. Everything will unfold as it should. Soon.

It seems that my body stopped growing taller and has now started to widen. I have an active lifestyle, I eat only healthy food and I keep away from stressful situations as much as possible. However no matter what I do, my waist keeps on getting bigger, faster. I am now using company time to do something personal, and that is to search the net to try to find the safest diet pills available. As I was googling, I stumbled upon this site called  http://www.safedietpills.org. It is a diet pill review site which seem to advertise plenty of diet pill products. I am very interested to try those out. The only thing keeping me is my fear of side effects. However I just though that I will just consult my doctor before taking those pills. If he approves it, I’ll be ordering supplies right away.

Flabs. I hated my flabs.

I got so caught up with work that I grew a layer or two of flabs, and I was so frustrated. I tried dieting, but since I love food so much, it wasn’t a big help. Then I thought of going to the gym. The problem is going to the gym might cost me too much – aside from monthly and annual dues, I have to limit myself from eating. Bad. Then I saw a friend who from what I remember was double my size the last time I saw her. When I asked her what she did to achieve that figure, she just jogs!

A lot of people think that you need to spend too much time and effort to lose weight. Actually, it’s not true all the time. There are easy fat burning exercises that you can try to get rid of the extra calories you’re having for lunch.

Jogging – you don’t need to jog or run too far. Devoting an hour thrice a week (daily would be ideal) to jogging would give you slow but proven results. When you job, you think you only work on your leg muscles but it’s actually as if you’re working on your whole body. You can vary your jogging routine by including some exercises on your arms and torso for a whole body work out. Even jogging in place everyday can help you lose those fats!

Brisk walking – if you don’t like running, walking briskly is something that you can do, too. It’s almost the same as jogging or running, but of course, with less speed and intensity, but the same effect. J

Physical games – you can also invite your friends and invite them to play a basketball or volleyball. Even badminton is proven effective in shedding those fats away. Losing weight, playing with your friends, having fun – what more can you ask for?

Breathing exercises – a lot of studies show that breathing properly can help you lose weight. Learn to inhale-exhale properly and tone those muscles for a great-looking figure!

See? You don’t need to starve yourself or spend too much on exercising machines to lose weight. Coupled with a balanced diet, these fat burning exercises can help you easily solve your fat problems!

I’m so happy! I finally found a secluded, cozy and secure place where I can swim to my heart’s content – at the hotel near my office! ^_^

You see, it’s been months now since I have had a regular physical activity. Normally, I either have a sports or any type of recreation to keep myself physically fit. However, I just haven’t had the time, money, and activity to go with my current lifestyle. It wasn’t until I got sick for two weeks straight just recently that I started putting more effort into looking for something to stop my deteriorating health.

Then I remembered my friend telling me that there’s a one year membership fee in the hotel near my office wherein one of the member benefits includes free pool usage. I did recall though that the price is quite hefty. But at my desperate state, with a credit card in hand, and considering that there are comfy outdoor cushions just beside the pool where I can lounge with my friends or after a stressful day at work, I was already 75% okay with the idea.

I inquired last July 30 at the hotel and, to my surprise; the one year membership fee was three times less than what I originally thought! I immediately signed up of course. To cap it off, I can have my sister as a supplementary! So we both get to enjoy free pool usage for a year (including all the other member benefits of course – 33% meal discounts, 20% off room rates, the works ;) ).

Can’t wait to swim and start getting back in shape! ^_^

Can you eat while burning fat? Lazy dieters would like to think so, and in fact, the answer is yes. There are actually foods that are not only healthy but burn fat. Here are some of the best foods to burn fat:

  • Foods rich in Vitamin C. Yes, your good old orange – the real one, not the orange juice in tetra packs – can help burn fat. Vitamin C improves the body’s capacity to burn fat and helps in processing fat as well. So, eat your oranges and other fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C like tomatoes and bell peppers.
  • Dairy products low in fat. It’s the calcium in the dairy products that does it, according to studies. So drink milk and eat cheese with no worries – just don’t eat too much.
  • Spicy foods, especially ones containing pepper, can speed up your metabolism and help burn more calories.
