This is the second week of my "healthier me" plan and so far, it's good. Being aware of how the savory, sweet things does to your body makes you want to keep away from them, no matter how deceptively enticing they are. It's somewhat like sin; very amusing, pleasing to the eye, but has adverse effects in your heart and soul. While I still have tasted a bit or two of my peppermint dark chocolate, I am refraining to eat those starchy carbs which will make my blood heavier with undigested sugar. I want to be fit and healthy to be able to comply to God's service.
And the change is coming pretty nicely this 2014.
What I did this week in a nutshell:
- Did work with joy. Which is usually how I work.
- Watched movies. And then re-watched them for that extra kilig feel! Some movies ultimately crushed my heart and needed some CPR but I am alright and alive now!
- Listened to a lot of Jamie Grace
- Bittersweet Orgel Tracks just gave me a full Arashi nostalgia. Can't get enough of My Girl.
- Finished my weekly work early so I'll have time to rest, since my monthly cramps aren't such nice friends.
- Stared dumbly in front of my laptop, wanting to write but just can't. And this happened a lot of times!
- Read books.
- Caught up with One Piece and Lucy (Luffy) will be the funniest hero I've ever seen.
On my health:
I noticed that I have been getting leaner lately. Last month, I felt somehow my arms are thinner than the usual; I'm the type of person who easily gets fat and easily thins down because of what I eat. But recently, since I've been eating high calcium and high fiber foods, I noticed that my body has been really getting into shape. There's less flabs in my arms. *sniff, sniff: I'm so happy!*
Being aware that I will be a lean diabetic (and trying my best to get it in order) is really helpful. I've been quite picky at my choice of foods and I am counting calories like it's good math, and yes, it's really wonderful. I tried not to eat breads and rice and sweets (unless I really, really like them and I only eat in small portions). The stuff I'm mostly eating are oats, beans and low gram crackers plus lots of milk and yogurt. I've been eating veggies from the noodle meals my mom makes. So all in all, I'm taking baby steps to being healthy again!
I badly need to do some real runs other than the small indoor exercises I've been doing. Maybe I'll have the right time, or motivation, to do that later on. Summer is coming pretty soon; I'm feeling the damp, hot air and soon enough, we'll be sweating liters here. I dislike the heat but the cold ain't kind to me. I guess this is something I should look forward to.
Wish me well!
