I mean that literally. I need to be active active again, to move my feet and do away with this sedentary lifestyle I’ve been living for the past several months. I sound like a broken record on this one, and the fact that I’m needing the best diet pills for women, but it’s true. If only consistently writing about it can translate into any equivalent physical activity, I’d probably be having less of a problem now.

So I renewed my gym membership because the trainer told me I’m overweight. And I feel overweight, so much so that I’m now developing varicose veins in my legs and feet and every time I look at them, they give me a dreaded feeling that I don’t want to think about. I’m hoping that this time, I can make this a habit. I guess this is the downside of working from home—when you actually stay at home all the time. Thus far I like my new arrangement, so I’d do what it takes to help myself make this thing (working from home) work, and I’d start with keeping myself healthy.

I’ve been trying my best not to be hypochondriac because I’ve always been irritated by people who complain too much about physical ailments. By that I mean people who just loves to complain all the time but don’t go to the doctor to have their conditions checked. Now I think I’m on my way to becoming one of them. Well, as long as I can stop myself from wearing compression stockings because I fear my varicose veins are showing, I’m still good I guess. When you hear stories about people getting sick suddenly, it undeniably brings fear about your own well being. A simple headache will make you think of much more grave diseases; every joint pain or muscle twitch will worry you. That’s life I guess. You just have to make the most out of it; try to keep healthy; and of course have regular check ups to be sure you’re in tip-top shape.

Yeah, I’m just being melodramatic. There’s no art to that; it just is. Well, I find that the best way to gain weight is to sit on your ass for hours and hours everyday. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past months. I don’t have time to do sports anymore, or even join the marathon which my friends have all been enjoying lately. I just sit in front of my laptop, then go to work and sit in front of my computer, go home and wake up to do the same thing all over again. Well, at least I have time to visit sites such as www.ridbellyfat.net, which only makes me feel bad because I don’t have the time to go out there and do something active.

I guess I need to stop whining first. Then make the very necessary changes. As always, easier said than done.

This has nothing to do with photographs or airplane rides. I just woke up and my eyes are literally very red! Remind me not to be stupid and take off my contacts before sleeping. Seems like I don’t need any sleep aid to fall into slumber. I was watching TV while resting after getting home from work, and I wasn’t planning on sleeping yet because there were stuff to do, but what do you know, I did it again (yes, this is not the first time … this week!). It’s a good thing I was still able to remove them relatively easy and painlessly, although the strain is still showing. Gee, haven’t I heard of horror stories about these things?

… that I am allergic to fat cells.  I know that it’s empirically proven that excess fat is not good for the health. Of course, I know that exceeding the reference BMI is not a good thing and that it brings all sorts of physiological problems. But I have this idea that my body is not wired to be chunky, which I can be whenever I forget (read: get lazy) to engage in physical activities. I’ve been neglecting my badminton and I stopped going to the gym altogether. I’ve been having bouts of feeling weak and a general feeling of being unwell again. Well, it’s not that any good fat burner can’t be found in places, but I’m hoping to be active again pretty soon. I’m just waiting for my free time. It can’t come any sooner now.

I #0-something friend of mine was urging me to buy this product – a face lifting cream that’s supposed to make you look 15 years younger. I don’t know if I’ll be thankful or insulted. What do you think? Before I was able to open my mouth, came more product testimonials: “Look at me, nobody thinks I’m in my #0s.” Gulp.  All I want is something for the dark circles around the eyes.

After a recent health scare, I’m all feeling-a-health-buff again. Things on my list: finish that ongoing medical evaluation, cut down on salt, cut down on fats, cut down on coffee, avoid soft drinks, eat more green leafy veggies, exercise, eat more fruits, exercise, have enough sleep, and exercise. It sounds simple on paper, really. Especially because I play badminton, exercise shouldn’t be a difficult task to perform, only if I can do it more regularly. My schedule’s been out of whack lately but I’m, again, trying to fix it. Losing a few pounds will help, too, I guess. In my case, I have to do it without having to resort to the best diet pills for women. Lesson learned: don’t wait for your body to tell you that you’re being unhealthy. Easier said than done, right?
