Back to Walking!

Now that I stay at home most of the time, I want to go back to walking. I badly need one since I am on a sedentary lifestyle. I did a research and I found this schedule to follow to slowly review my passion for walking. This is all I can do at the moment since no chance for me to play badminton since the time I hurt my right shoulder badly.

So Week 1 starts tomorrow, October 16 with a follow up on October 19. Blood Chem is scheduled on Monday.  I also need to replace the battery of my pedometer.

Week	Walking schedule** (time, days a week)	Weekly total
1	15 minutes, 2 days	30 minutes
2	15 minutes, 3 days	45 minutes
3	20 minutes, 3 days	60 minutes
4	25 minutes, 3 days	75 minutes
5 & 6	30 minutes, 3 days	90 minutes
7 & 8	30 minutes, 4 days	120 minutes
9 & 10	30 minutes, 5 days	150 minutes

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?

of work, of headache, of dieting

it has been a toxic week for me.

there were meetings as in daily meetings of different concerns. some are relevant to my KRAs and some are not but still my presence was needed.

i have never done the 700 calories daily intake. it was better planned than done. but still i never exceeded my original plan of 2000 daily calories.

what did was, i packed my sandwiches for lunch and early dinner, my cans of juices, and fruits. mind you, no coffee... but on the third day, there went my migraine. ^$&%^%

i am a coffee addict. it perks up my blood to send signal to my neurons to make my brain functional.

what should i try this week?


who want to go on walking on sunday?

after digging in my piles of DVD, i found my copy of certain DVDs on exercises. but lazy lazy me....
