Start today!

Was watching the movie My Big Love this afternoon. I've seen it a few times before but you know me, I never get tired of Pinoy movies. Anyway, I remember I promised my mom to get a blood test when I go home to Iloilo. When I was in high school, we take annual blood tests for the heck of it. Just for monitoring purposes coz my mom has hypertension. I always manage to be normal in all levels except uric acid which caused most of my kidney illness back then. But now I'm fine. But I have to admit, I've kinda forgotten to watch what I eat (haha it's obvious). Maybe because I've never really had a blood test in my whole college life. Therefore I don't have acid levels to remind me to watch it. I'd always think minsan lang naman, but then again, if you combine all that 'minsans', it makes a difference.

Anyhooo my point is, I gotta seriously watch it. I don't want to die young noh! So back to My Big Love, Sam was sooo fat, like 300 lbs. and then Toni was his personal trainer who has a five-step program to managing one's weight.

1. Goal setting.
2. Start today.
3. No shortcuts.
4. Motivate yourself.
5. Be happy.

My goal now is just to eat healthy. It's better to be realistic because I know myself. I know what I can and can't do. I can never promise not to eat pork. Because baby back ribs is one of my favorites. And funny I had to go visit Raisia's post on how she lost weight in law school. (No it's not stress, she ate healthy stuff!) I'm so glad to see she recommended cereals because I have a box of Mueslix that I eat when I find myself hungry late at night. I'm doing something right haha.

Okay enough of the writing and get working. And yes, I'm gonna take that blood test when I go home.
