Two months from now, I will be seeing my Cardiologist again. My periodic check-ups are now set to every four months, which is a lot better than when I used to see him every month. That means, he is pleased with my progress; my hypertension is under control.
The last time I went though, he was not pleased with my weight gain, as I have considerably put on several pounds within four months. I was advised to shed those extras off.
What have I done so far? None. Prior to my Dad’s demise, I was regularly walking at least 1 mile a day. Not that much, if you ask me, but hey, it is definitely better than not doing anything. Everything was halted though when I went back to the Philippines, and I have not gotten back to it since I got here.
I’ve been bad, really lazy; because I have all the time in the world as someone has been doing all the house chores here, but instead of going back to my regimen(Leslie Sansone’s Walk-Away Video), I always find myself either reading or watching TV or surfing the net. I wonder if I’d be forced to move and get off the couch, if there is a fitness equipment right here in the house. There is a gym here in our building, but I’m lazy to even go. I’m so not like my husband who is a slave of the gym, for as long as he is home.
I’m running out of time, I’m not sure I can do it. I haven’t lose a pound since I last saw my Cardio. Starve myself, maybe? What a desperate move!




Dear god don’t even think about starving yourself!
Go on youtube and setup a playlist of music videos you like with a total time of 20-30 minutes and do either weight training or cardio for the duration of each song, if that’s too intense mix 2 or 3 muscle exercises for one song.
Remember to start with cardio to get your heart rate going!

Sorry to hear you’re having a hard time shedding those few pounds, but just keep at it and try some daily walking or something small at first because you will be surprised how well it helps over a small amount of time. Good luck and stay healthy!

Once you get back into the swing of things, you won’t be able to stop.

@ Chris
thanks so much for your concern. seriously, I don’t think I can do that, meaning to starve myself. That must be a tough act. I love to eat, I love food.
thanks for your suggestion. Have a great week ahead!
@ Holly
Thanks, Holly. I will try. It’s not easy, but it certainly is doable.
@ Jacqueline
I certainly hope so. Wish me luck. Enjoy the new week!
