To thine own self be true!

OK.

Last January 8, 2012,I challenged myself to lose weight!

 Determined, inspired and committed, I was able to lose 9 lbs in a month.

See my results after a month (February 8, 2012) here.

I was still eating 3x a day, still with rice (just less), meat (chicken, pork, beef), fish and veggies. 
Fruits, nuts and pop corns during break times and I exercise!

The problem is, I need to keep up, I need to continue!!! 

I have 10 more pounds to lose and I am faltering!!!

All fattening foods just taste good!

Look at all these Filipino foods!... 

How can one resist eating these without RICE and more RICE!!!???

How will I be able to control myself from eating and eating and eating??

The thinking part of me says "We live only once, enjoy!"
The emotional part of me says "Be happy! Life is meant for happiness! Food makes you happy!"
The spiritual part of me says "Those who won't work, won't eat. You work, you eat!
The physical part of me says "Love your body, who else will? Love your fats!!!"

Oh my!

Temptations justified.

Unless I decide and commit, I will always make excuses!

Not good.

NAMASTE.

    Gemma gems it's all about deliciousness indeed , when we don't have food we pray to have food in our table now we have plenty we kill ourselves not to eat just enjoy in good proportion . I'm not into diet stuff but I love my cuteness - shalom

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
