My Mission for the Next Few Weeks

I officially started operation weight loss today…

This morning, my weight was 192 lb, at least according to my bathroom scale. I thought I should start losing weight as I feel easily tired every day and I do not want to end up gaining too much that I could not shed the extra anymore.

Naisip ko lang din na hindi magandang patuloy akong lumalaki dahil hindi ako mahilig bumili ng pantalon. Oras na ang tiyan ko ay sumobra na ang laki, mapipilitan akong bumili ng bagong pantalon na gagamitin sa pang-araw-araw na gawain. Ewan ko kung bakit pero sa hindi malamang kadahilanan, ayoko talagang bumibili ng damit. Mabilis akong makuntento sa kung anong meron sa cabinet ko at wala akong balak na gumastos para sa susuotin ko.

I have been like this ever since I can remember. I do not like buying stuff for myself unless it is a Sony PlayStation console or food for my stomach. I have even become more of it when I started to have a family of my own. Instead of buying stuff for myself, I would rather spend the money on something that my kid could use.

Hindi mo naman siguro masasabing kuripot ako sa lagay na ito… hindi ko lang talaga trip ang magbibili ng mga bagay na alam ko namang meron na ako. Kaya kailangan ko na rin talaga magbawas ng timbang at mag-ayos ng katawan.

The idea of losing weight started when my mom decided to get my blood sugar count last Sunday. She pricked my ring finger, took some blood sample, and placed it into her little gadget. It showed 8.2, where the normal is supposed to be around six. According to her, I currently have a high sugar level and even told me to visit a doctor.

Yun nga lang, ayoko naman pumunta sa doctor kung wala naman akong sakit na nararamdaman. Naisip ko na lang, mas maganda siguro na kesa pumunta ako sa doctor para lang resetahan ng kung anong gamot na hindi ko naman kailangan, magbabawas na lang ako ng kain ng kanin. Nasimulan ko na dati ‘to eh… naibaba ko na nga ng 183 lb ang timbang ko. Mas maganda siguro ngayon, habang nagbabawas ng kanin, nagdadagdag naman ako ng paggalaw.

My situation always has been lacking one of the two. I eat less but do not move more, or I move more but do not eat less… When I was still a member of Slimmer’s World, I would keep on exercising, running on treadmills, and lifting heavy irons but I never tried controlling my food intake. On the other hand, when I was controlling my food intake, my membership with the gym has already expired and all I did was sit and lie around, with very minimal physical activity. “Move more, eat less” needs to be my mantra to succeed this time around…

Today, I am 192 lb… next stop, 185 lb…
