Hawaii

Less than a month to go and I can finally TAN!!. I'm so excited to go to Hawaii on Feb with my mom, sis and aunties. This is actually my 3rd time in Oahu but this time, we are island hopping to Maui. I really think that 5 days in Hawaii will not be enough but.....we can always come back in 2 years. This is my mom's first time to go Hawaii so I hope she'll have a blast.

FREEBIES!!!

I can't get over my freebies from Macy's and Nordstrom. I wanted to get more!!.. Talk about being greedy huh?!. Love it ♥!!!!!

Happy Birthday to my fave Ninja!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GE (Jan 18th)!!!!!. Yes!, we are only 1 year apart. Makes me feel super young.

Positive reinforcement

Since I was blogging about my workout, I want to share with you the reward I will receive at the end of the year from Roche. Our company rewards people who exercises regulary, for at least 30 mins a day, 3X per week. They are giving out Gift certificates worth $100 for 46 weeks of workout and $50 for 40 weeks of workout of the year. Anyways, I'm only getting $50 from 2008 exercise log (I had a score of 45 weeks, darn it!, I forgot to log in 1 week on March) but that is good enough to buy me a new workout fit.

YO-YO

Weight has been a struggle for me since I was a kid. I blame it on “Genetics” since on my mom side, they are fairly well rounded. My bro and I would easily gain weight. Back in 2004 and 2005, I gained so much weight that my mom will tease me of my sudden weight gain. I was irked out and hated her for being hard on me and I’m her daughter. But it was a wake up call coz I looked pregnant with my bloated tummy and I went from size 4 to size 8. YIKES!!!. So, I joined 24 hours fitness and workout 6X a week. By summer of 2006, I lost weight and everyone noticed it. I was elated. Came summer of 2008 and I gained 5lbs. I was livid!!. I thought I was working out (so I thought) at our fitness gym at work, but the scale ain’t lying, my skinny jean is tighter and Ge’s been poking my growing “muffin top”. So I signed up for Bally’s, and a month later hired a personal trainer (it was expensive and I sacrificed a Louis Vuitton purse for this). It was hard at first and there are days that I just want to cry and give up on those hard core leg workouts but I did not want to give up. I learned a lot from Lawrence (personal trainer), he said that I need to eat healthy and work out consistently to get the results I want. 16 sessions after (2 months), I lost 5 lbs, felt tighter and stronger, and I dropped 1 pants size. YEHEEY!!!. I’m currently working out at least 4X a week which includes cardio (elliptical, steps, spinning and interval running) and weight training (abs class and boot camp class). It’s still a struggle to eat healthy but on weekdays, I’m pretty good at it. It’s hard to maintain a healthy weight and there are days when I just “don't-want-to-workout”, but I don’t want to be a failure. I challenge myself and I’m glad my sis works out with me coz she is my motivation esp. when we take that dreaded “boot camp” class, plus Hawaii vacation is coming up.

Shake that thing!

I was bored......and plus my Hawaii vacation is coming up. HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
