Journey to 60: Week 3

As we were on a trip, the hubby and I were not really able to monitor what our little project was doing except for her Monday workout which was circuit involving gym rings and bodyweight.

Monday:

• Lunges
• Bridge
• Push Ups
• Bent Knee Rows
• Hanging on the Gym Ring

The rest of the week according to her was divided between walking and some Rows.

I'd like to add that at the beginning of this endeavor, she

WEIGHS 85 kgs 

AND her

WAISTLINE is 42 inches.

Slowly but surely getting there.

My Trip to the Capital

The last week has been busy for me. I had my very first trip to Manila, though not to Luzon as I was in Palawan a few years back for a vacation.

We stayed over with some friends who work in the business capital, Makati.

SM Mall of Asia

Makati and its neighboring cities did not turn out to be what I expected. Yes, the traffic is ever a pain in the neck as projected and commuting is hard. The population is overflowing which leads to the main problem people are facing which is the traffic.

But, it was not as expensive as I expected nor was it as polluted as I dared not hope it to be.

Expense-wise, if you spend your time eating in the malls and restos, then check it will consume half your paycheck. Though, if you spare some time to do marketing and cooking, I think you will save a lot more. The prices for meat products and vegetables and fruits are almost the same in Iloilo, some are even cheaper. True, the beef and fish products are a bit on the pricey side but the pork and chicken products are priced exactly the same in Iloilo. Ours are just fresher :D

Dining at Chili's

The fare is cheap. I think me and the hubby spent a total of 100 pesos in fare excluding the taxi to the airport and my Grab ride to Diliman.

Pollution-wise, the Pasig River stinks and there was trash everywhere on the streams leading to it and basically everywhere. But only a few cars smoke-belch so that's a plus. And the vehicles are not as noisy individually, though there are just a lot of them so it's still too hot to be walking anywhere with cars around you.

Though, I like the effort put in by developers to add green things like trees and shrubs to their buildings. It adds are refreshing vibe to the whole scenario of tall buildings, no sky dilemma.

The greenest place I've seen was the UP Diliman Campus and I hope it stayed that way.

Bringing Tibiao to Diliman

All in all, the experience was not so bad. There are just too many people for my taste. I hope our City of Love does not turn out as bad as Manila when all the developments are done.

A BIG thanks to all of our friends who accommodated us and spared some time in their busy schedules to chit-chat with us.

Journey to 60

It has been so long since I last posted anything online.

With the Baby Shark on its way, the end of the school year, and a new adventure coming up, I cannot really think of anything worthwhile to post for a while. Or I had too many and did not really know what to write.

But this time, I have a new project ongoing and I really want to see an improvement by the end of June. I hope you bear with me as I try on new things for this project to be successful.

So here goes.

Starting this week or precisely as of the 2nd of May 2018, I had become a legal guardian of a 16-year-old kid, all 85 kgs of my youngest sister. She decided to study in Iloilo, and so I gained custody of her for the next two years at least.

I think this is a prime of example of too much love resulting to neglect. My parents tried to limit her food intake and made her diet to no avail. She gained 5 kgs each year, staring her Junior High Days and did not stop.

So here we are now.

 


Since she will be living with me. The husband and I will be disciplining her to change her lifestyle. Starting with EATING and EXERCISE.

For eating, we banned eating in-between meals. So no junk foods for her. She can eat fruits or drink water in between and nothing else. She has 2 months before the start of the class, so we hope to instill this training before then.

For exercise, this was the program so far:

• May 4 - Friday
• Run / Walk 5 km
• Chair Push Ups 
• Leg Raises
  
• May 5 - Saturday (5 reps)
• 5 Knee Push Ups
• 10 Mountain Climbers
• 5 Leg Raises
• 10 Jumping Jacks
  
• May 6 - Sunday
• Walking for 1 hour or more

We are hoping for the best in this endeavor.

Hopefully, we achieve the 60 kgs goal by the end of June :D

Join us on this adventure to NIWANG in 60 days :D
