Today, I have run out of excuses.
I tried to walk/run/jog again today after work and only reached about 1.9 miles so that's a little under 2 kilometers. I finished in less than 30 minutes and I felt so tired after that. I realized that I have not exercised in a very long time (hence the intense accumulated weight gain).
I usually put things off like this because I'd rather relax after work, and by relax means lounging in the sofa and watching reality shows which I'm a sucker for! I used to be so skinny that my dad scolds me from time to time because I keep buying new jeans because the others/ old ones are a little loose on me.
Fast forward to 2011 when I thought I was at my biggest/heaviest. I wanted to try going to the gym but I finally decided not to because I'm usually super lazy and I am not that religious in following exercise routines. Right now, I am at my heaviest. I have been wanting to enroll myself into a gym but I'm still keeping that as an option. For now, I will be running/walking/jogging not necessarily everyday but I will try and make it three times a week to see how I will fare, with additional cardio and endurance training at home. I hope I can finally have myself commit to such a tedious process. I have allowed myself to do that a few months back.
The only thing I want to see going down is my weight.
Goodnight!
P.S.:
No more binge eating! 😊

A Sign
I just received this prayer book/devotional. It's not something I would expect someone would give me. It should not feel creepy but i feel like it is. One of my new year's resolution was to have or re-establish my personal relationship with God.
I used to be a very active youth member in church. I used to sing- I enjoyed it and loved it. I joined presentations, even sang for praise and worship. I even volunteered as an assistant teacher during weekends.Something happened to me that changed me. I disconnected myself from church. I did not participate in anything, didn't pray, did not read the bible. I was...distant.
I doubted God, His existence and if He does, if He did love me. Something happened to me and my family that proved me that He is ever present and that no matter how much of a sinner I am, He still loves me. June of 2008 when we were hit with Typhoon Frank. I have never in my life experienced being a victim of a flood until that fateful day. It was dreadful. We were not the only victims, I know. There were places that were damaged so much worse than ours. But it was then I realized God dearly loved us and that He spared my family from the ravaging flood.
Since then, I have tried going back to Him. I know I can only do so much and not even pay half of the price for my life and salvation but I will try as long as I live. I will try to become the woman He wants me to be. I will get closer to Him because it's the only way I know how. So now that I have this devotional with me, I think it's a sign from Him that I should start ASAP.
I feel so blessed this Monday. You should too, you are alive and well. God loves you!
Romans 5:8-9 (KJV)
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."

Ola, 2013!
Happy New Year! 😃🎊🎉
2012 went by so fast! T'was a year that I set myself to be really stable and content, especially career-wise. I learned a lot, had a few disappointments but I survived them against all odds. It was a year I proved God's faithfulness in my life. I got a better job, had my 1st experience of traveling outside of the country, and got semi-officially engaged! 😉
So cheers to all of us who had a wonderful year and here's to hoping for an even better, if not one of the best year of prosperity, happiness and love!
Bring it on, 2013! God bless us all!
❤❤❤
P.S.:
Will upload photos and update this blog soonest! Happy new year once again!
