Sugar, anyone?

When I think of drinking cola, this will remind me how many sugar cubes I am actually putting in my body system. 

Making Arnibal (Sugar Syrup) for Sago Ice Candy

My youngest sister wants to make sago ice candy and sell them to the kids in our neighborhood. She plans to sell it for one peso since this is only the buying ability of the kids. Of course, without sacrificing the taste, she will do something to make sure she still gets her profit.

She asked me to make sugar syrup or arnibal. I turn to Google and found a recipe for this one from lutongpinoy.info.

Ingredients:

Sugar
Water

Procedure:
1. Caramelize sugar over medium heat.
2. Pour in water when the sugar gets melted.
3. Continue cooking to make sure that the sugar is dissolved completely.
4. Set aside to cool.

Do You Take Enough Water Every Day?

When I went under the knife two years ago, my doctor learned how dehydrated I was prior to that. My internal organs manifested it. My liver was so dehydrated. She strongly advised me to keep myself hydrated. With my weight, I am supposed to have three liters of water. I never had a way to find out if I really did have even at least  a liter a day. Well, this is a very interesting way to make sure you drink up enough water a day. I stumbled upon this in Pinterest.com. (Yeah, I am another Pinterest addict.) 

So each container can hold up to a liter. Having three of this, I can split up my required 3 liters daily water intake. What do you think?

Pounds to Go, Pounds Lost

This is very interesting visual representation of the pounds to lose and lost. I am thinking to do the same but I guess in monetary form. I need to lose 100 pounds. For every pound lost, I will save Php5.00. By the time I lost the 100-pound challenge, I already have Php500.00.

The past months have been full of challenges and depression. I ballooned to 270lbs. I will be living outside Manila to rethink and find myself. I lost it somewhere I couldn't remember. When I get back, I am determined to lose 100lbs. It may take me a number of months. But by December 2012, I will be 170lbs.
