painful losing

i planned to lose 10 lbs last month. but I tell you i think i gained weight in trying to lose that much. i was such a bum.. a loafer.. a couch potato.

last saturday morning, my friend accompanied me to the laboratory where his sister is working as a medical technologist. he persuaded me to have my blood tested. yup, everything is normal expept for my uric acid level. it is slightly higher than the normal value. psychological perhaps, last night i felt the pain in my feet. they were not that painful before. well perhaps, the culprit were my slippers. i walked to and from my way to work. at least i tried to skip two short rides so that i can have a little exercise. if i would continue on this walking thing, i must buy a new pait of walking-friendly slippers. something with cushion that will not trigger the pain in my feet.

what is the best way to avoid eating rice? i think i am carbohydrate addict. no matter how much i avoid to eat rice or bread, still my addiction gets me to eat. argh! i love to think.. to plan.. but i lack the drive to put my plans to realization. see! i am evaluating myself before anybody does. let me do the work.

being big is painful.. emotionally and physically. and i am letting this happen to me. maybe hi-calcium milk can help me. no-rice diet can also help me... all-fruits diet can also help me.. but how can i help myself?

Power 12 Foods: Never Go Hungry

I stumble upon an article on the Net - The Power 12 Foods: Never Go Hungry.

After reading the article, I evaluated my eating habit and came to a realization why I kept on gaining instead of losing. I have been eating the wrong food. Few weeks ago, I bought some packs of oatmeal, But these are the prepared ones - yeah, the flavored ones.. I love the banana, cinnamon, and strawberry flavor actually. I have been accustomed to reading the labels. One ingredient that I have been avoiding is the aspartame. Research shows that it has some bad effects to bones. But yet, I have sweet tooth so I still prefer the flavored oatmeal. And now I am thinking for some alternative to jazz up my unflavored, unsweetened oatmeal.

12,000 calories?????

I read this from Yahoo.

An athlete eats 12,000 calories a day.... I really envy him! Read more..

On oatmeal..
what i noticed is that i have frequent the CR more than I have done in the previous days.. I remember watching Oprah the other day and fiber was the topic...

Until now I do not drink fruit juices... but next week, after this experiment of eating oatmeal to replace my rice, i will incorporate more fruits and vegetables.


Soon I will be posting my pics.. and more on my progress..

alternative to rice

I found my alternative to rice! good news, aight?!

I would like to thank those from Pex who really made relevant comments on the food calorie intake I listed. Looking at it, yeah I agree that it may harm me eventually.

After realization, I will try the following:
- avoid rice, fats, sweets.

So

- no more rice
- no to fried foods (of any kind)
- no to chocolates and juices

So for this week:
- to replace rice, i am having oatmeal for breakfast. Sticky oatmeal to replace rice.. hehehe.. syempre may ulam pa rin.
- no more fruit juices in my grocery list. drink more water. i bought 1.2 tumbler and i will use it to have 2 1.2-liter of water a day as a start.
- more greens!!! i bought three packs for my salad and greens in my sandwiches.
- sandwich for lunch
- nuts for snacks
- cereal drinks as alternative snacks..



To do:
- add fruits
