Home Workout

It took me so long to do a follow up on my home workout.  Well, I promised myself not to blog about it yet if haven't got any decent improvements. Now, I think I have enough courage to post pictures and blog about it.  It is not easy to lose weight when you're 30+ and have 3 kids.  But I'm posting this for other moms out there who thinks it is all over for them.. Adding some me time to your daily routine is not BAD, it's like choosing not to watch a teleserye and workout instead..

7 months pregnant with my youngest

Year 2011, these was when I was doing Hip-Hop Abs (4-5 x a week) and badminton with some so, so diet.

Year 2012, thought of moving up a notch, mixed Hip-Hop Abs with some intense workouts, tried insanity but was too insane! Hehe! and some badminton.

Year 2013, I noticed I've been doing workouts harder, but it seems it doesn't show.  So, I did more intense workouts (5x a week) combined with a healthy diet.  No rice on weekdays, more veggies, more protein..

It wasn't easy, it took time, patience, hard work and discipline.  I do have those days that I feel too lazy to do my workouts and guess what, I still do it!! That's how dedicated (crazy?) I am! :))  Making myself realize how hard it is to get to where I am now, and I'm not planning on starting all over again!! :))

I'll be posting more pictures and some inspiration/motivation to get you started. :))

Losing Weight

Finally, I lost 10lbs!  Whew!  That wasn't easy..  I decided to take it seriously when everybody was telling me "ang taba taba mo na" (even though I just gave birth to my third child!), it was annoying and made me feel really sad..  I know, it's not an excuse.. Khloe was 6 months old then, I can start my diet and workout! 

So I started doing hip hop abs, 5x a week and badminton 3x a week.  Whenever I don't feel like doing them, I had to drag my ass and remind myself the benefits; the cute little dresses (i hate it pag nag ask sa saleslady ng big size.. it makes me sad parin), food rewards sa weekends (ayaw ni hubby ng diet, di naman daw ako sasali sa contest!).  Complete with my gym outfit, my portable TV and I'm off!  (to our room, that is! walang time magpunta sa gym and mas comfy sa house, todo bigay!)..  

It was really hard at first, but when I lost some weight, it gave me back my driving force!  This time, it was hard to stop!  My body craves for the exercise, the sweat and all.  My tummy got used to the small portions that I eat, it’s also because I don't want to get back all the pounds that I lost!  Hihihi! 

Now that I reached my goal, 10lbs lost!  I'm tamad na.. Hahaha!  Bad! I'm back to eating SOME sweets and I can eat more rice kahit hindi weekends, but still keeping up with my routine. Now, I'm just toning down and hopefully I can re-schedule my next Radio Frequency soon..

Grabe!  Taba ko talaga.. tsk, tsk!

Parang na-shy ako mag post ng "after" picture ko.. ?? Hmmm..  Next time na lang..  :)

Therma Shape!

I saw this ad on facebook with CASHCASHPINOY.  ThermaShape, "Advanced slimming and firming treatment that uses controlled Radio Frequency technology. Effectively combats cellulite or that “orange-peel” look. Contours and shapes the arms, body, back, thighs and calves for a toned appearance. It also effectively diminishes stretch marks. Envie recommends this treatment to those who have undergone liposuction and to the new moms out there who want to regain their sexy figure. This treatment lasts for only 40 minutes".  It costs Php2,500 you get 82% discount with CASHCASHPINOY, you can get it for Php450!  I'm tempted to buy!! I've been trying to lose my pregnancy weight for a while now (I gained 30lbs!).  I've been doing hip hop abs every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, while I play badminton on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Although they're effective, I want to lose more weight sooner!  Summer is fast approaching and I want to be ready.   

 I’m fancying this one piece suit I saw on Cocomo Clothing, so perfect!  It hides all my imperfections! Hahaha!  I just hope this ThermaShape is effective.. (crossing fingers!)
