Day 59 of Biggest Loser Challenge 2

April 13, 2011 is the 59th day of Biggest Loser Challenge 2, Wednesday.

"More Bad News"

My day started ok. I ate breakfast early at the office and i was determined to reach my deliverables for today. 

breakfast

By lunch, i went to the market to buy my ingredients for my long-time plan to cook pad thai and for our food supplies for our Pulag climb for the weekend. And also for the grocery supplies for the house. I have no other time to do my groceries due to work load.

And then by around 2pm, one of the organizers of our climb called and delivered the bad news... We can't climb Pulag on saturday. 

Apparently, there are 250 people already registered to climb it and the registration officials of the Pulag National Park wont allow 25 more people.

I know that their reason was for the benefit of the mountain, but i still got frustrated when i heard this news.

working lunch

My mind was set to conquer Pulag this weekend as i blogged on my previous post (http://momyjorayma.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-mt-pulag-chronicles-part-1.html). All was already set, aside from my clothes and food supply, we were already packed and ready to go. I even got my hiking shoes tested and ready (http://momyjorayma.blogspot.com/2011/04/day-52-of-biggest-loser-challenge-2.html).

Urgghh!!! It's so frustrating when you want something so badly, but you can't do something to get it done... 

Also, i was expecting for this climb before the Final weigh in, coz this activity would definitely make me put off weight. Hayyy.. Plan aborted.

Because of my work schedule, i may not be able to set another climb for the next 3 months. And by the time those 3 months are over, the weather would not be suitable. Hays!

I was planning to jog by myself, but because of the bad news, i stayed on my table and concentrated on my work. I still cannot believe my Pulag climb is cancelled.

By 9pm i was heading home. I logged on to my FB account to monitor the updates of the climb. While i prepared my ingredients for my Pad Thai.

One good thing about this day, was my Pad Thai. On my first try, and without the authentic pad thai sauce, i pulled it through.

Hubby enjoyed it. Even if its a little spicy, I did too. I endulged myself even at 11pm in the evening. I ate my frustrations out. I know i will hate myself for it later, but, what the heck! i'm frustrated, and i want to eat! Period.

Day 3

Breakfast: 1/2 cup rice with sauted amplaya with egg

Lunch: 1 big pack tortillos

I was not able to resist the pack of tortillos on my grocery bag. It was supposed to be our baon for our Pulag socials but i couldn't resist.

Dinner: 1/2 pineapple, 1 cup of Nestle Fitness and Fruit

Midnight Snack: 1 plate of Pad Thai.

My very first Pad Thai

I also want to share my Pad Thai recipe.

2 cups of chicken strips marinated in soy sauce and cornstarch

2 cups of togue

3 tbsp onion leeks

2 tbsp parsely

4 cloves garlic

3 cups of pad thai noodles soaked in warm water for 20 minutes

2 eggs

4 sili labuyo

1 tsp chili powder

3/4 cup pad thai sauce (combi of 3tbsp sinigang powder, 2tbsp patis, 3tbsp sugar, 1tsp chili powder)

I heated 3 tbsp of cooking oil then sauted the garlic. Add in the chicken without the marinate and a little water and let the chicken to cook. I added the noodles and the pad thai sauce. Then added the togue, 1 tbsp patis and pepper. Mix it all up. 

I set the noodles on the side of the pan, then put the egg on the pan, letting it cook and untouched for a few seconds then mix with the noodles altogether. By this time, its a little messy, but i read that this is really how to cook pad thai. When its already ready i topped it with the chopped onion leeks and parsely and peanuts...

Served it hot with lemon or calamansi.. Make it a special pad thai when shared with your love one....

Day 55 of Biggest Loser Challenge 2

April 9, 2011 is the 55th day of Biggest Loser Challenge 2, Saturday.

 

"A different Kind of workout"

breakfast for two

I woke up at 10 minutes before 6am. Hubby and I are planning to jog, since it is a saturday morning. But... the weather did not permit us to do so...

It was raining... So, we have no choice but to stay in the house...

So instead, we did a different workout.... Clean the House, Do the laundry and Paint one room... Many slimming tips say that if you have no time for exercise or to go to the gym, clean the house.. Move your *ss from the couch and get going...

So that's what we did...

Before we started our chores for today, i prepared a heavy breakfast... 

egg omelet and dilis

Breakfast: 1/2 cup rice, 10 pcs dilis, 1/2 vegetable and egg omelet..

Since we are all alone in the house, it became a "Breakfast Date for 2"... It was one of the rare moments that we get to enjoy our food without the Kid's that's magugulo, who were currently feeding the chickens in the province (as texted by their lola while we're eating ).

my breakfast

Then after breakfast, i washed the dishes while hubby washed the clothes, with the help of our labandera (G.E.), of course. I help with the hanging of the clothes...

Then by 10am, we walked to SM to decide and buy on what color we'll paint the boy's room ( this was my room when i was single). We decided, it would be a lighter shade of green. since the cabinets are already painted with Green and Yellow combination...

 

 

 

before

So we choose a light green color.... then after sharing lunch with hubby and glen...

 

Lunch: 10 pcs Chx feet (adobo), 3 tbsp tuna sisig

 

..rested a while wathcing The Taking of Pelham 123,

 

...we began with the painting...

I opened the radio for some music. And i decided that this is a good bonding moment with hubby. 

 

 

after

So i started on asking "slumbook" questions to my hubby...

 

 

Q1 : What is your favorite color?

Hubby: Dati black. Pero nung nakilala kita, Red Na!  (Cheesssy!)

Q2 : What's your favorite food?

Hubby: Fried Chicken and Hotdog

Me : Pano mo naging favorite yun eh hindi naman tayo madalas mag Fried Chicken at Hotdog ???

 

 

Hubby : Dati nung bata ako, un ang favorite ko... Pero nung nagasawa na ko, nadiscover ko na may iba pa palang masarap na ulam especially gulay ... (hehehe! diet kasi kami, gulay lagi nasa weekly menu ko lately...)

Earlier, We got a bad news, that a relative of a family friend died from a car accident.. so we talked about topics about death...

Q3 : Pag namatay ka, ano gusto mo, cremate o libing?

Hubby : Cremate. Mura kasi. (Hmmm...hubby is practical...) Tsaka pwede nyo naman ilagay sa cinematorium (Ano daw!!!)

Me: Crematorium!!

Hubby : Yun nga! (hehehe.. pa genius effect!)

 

I enjoyed our painting activity, even after i had a stiff neck, but i enjoyed our bonding more...

And by 8:30, the room was semi-finish. But the paint job was 90% complete. We needed darker shade of green for the bottom border line style...

Dinner: 2 cheese and egg wheat pandesal

 

Bought my Nestle Fitness Cereal, and posted my Day 1 pic on facebook. Grand price is trip for 2 to boracay.. i hope i win...

I'm looking forward to this weekend... because, it's the first of my 2 weekends that i will only be free for the coming 3 months of my life (because of work deadline, as i posted on my previous entry)

second.. hubby and I will be painting Karl's room. While the kids are gone...

third... after the planned general cleaning and painting around the house, we will go to Ace Water Spa...Yahoooo... i bought a discounted voucher for Ace, so i have to use it before it expires on the 15th...

And since it's a friday, my team checked our weight... today i am 60.4 kgs...i lost .2kgs from my April 5 weight of 60.6.... Not much weight lost this week, because i was not able to workout after office, but continuous on my diet.

It was the last day of Franco (office mate) and we treated him to a free lunch by ordering delivery from Chooks to go! and ice cream from selecta.

I couldn't resist the ice cream, so i limited myself to only 3 tbsp, nothing more...

Again, i stayed in the office until 10pm. 

Day 18 of Biggest Loser Challenge 2

March 3, 2011 is the 18th day of Biggest Loser Challenge 2, Thursday.

“Back to Jumping Ropes”

Today is a good day…

I was able to wake up at 5am and prepare my paperworks for the day that was due since Monday.

I was tempted to watch “Private Practice Series” but got hold of myself and instead, I grab on to my jumping rope and dumbbells and started to work out.

It was February 22 since my last jumping rope routine. And I felt my muscle ached when I did the first 200 jumps because I stopped. I told myself “How am I gonna beat the 1200 jumps record, if I don’t continue?”. So I reached for my first 500 jumps. Did stretching and dumbbell exercises for 30 minutes, then hit the shower. I promise to return to this routine from now on…

Breakfast:

½ cup rice

1 pc of Native Longanisa

¼ part of scrambled egg

(Wow! Big Plate! Small Breakfast..)

AM Snack:

1/2 cup coffee (Nescafe 3 in 1) 

1 pc Tupig ( from Bon..Thanks! )

I know! I know! It’s not coffee day yet. But I would love my tupig with coffee, and the cold temperature in the office makes me crave for 1..So I’m having my coffee day 1 day earlier. No coffee for me tomorrow. Promise!

( Due to my excitement to drink my coffee, i forgot to take a picture..hayy...)

The sun is beginning to shine by lunch (Did i say that this is a good day?) so we’re going for a run later…

Lunch:

2 pcs egg wheat bread sandwich with lettuce and pipino

¼ pineapple

 

PM Snack:

1 slice papaya

Handful of peanuts

Fed in his kagalang galang na get-up

At 7pm, we we're back from our jog. meet my jogging buddies...

Ophie with her over sized dress or shirt..im not sure..

Day 13 of Biggest Loser Challenge 2

"Fiesta Day Today!"

February 26, 2011 is the 13th day of the Biggest Loser Challenge 2, Saturday.

Its jogging day. My hubby and i agreet to get up early so we could leave the house early and jog withovt the kids. By this, we could cover more distance and workout more.

But at 6 o'clock am, both my little boys are awake already. But Karl told me, that it’s ok to jog without them..Hmmm, my kids are beginning to understand that mommy and daddy needs to exercise and spend time alone together... 

My husband and I talked about so many things  while doing or 30-minute walk to the park. Then jogged for 30 minutes.

By the time we got back home, the boys had their morning shower already and were all giddy and excited. I volunteered to take them to the grocery, while my husband repaired the washing machine. While my angels do their weekly “pelengke” trip. I thought, the trip to the grocery would be a good workout and bonding with the Kids.

Took a quick breakfast, before the Grocery date with my boys...

Breakfast:

2 toasted wheat bread

2 pcs of chicken embotido

1 egg (fried – sunny side up)

We we’re back by 11am. I bought Senior Pedro’s lenchon manok for lunch and sauted 4 pcs of eggplant as side dish. My boys were starving and was eating the chicken while we’re preparing the table. But i still manage to take some pictures, before we devour on the food.

Lunch:

½ cup rice

1 pc Chicken (Lechon)

1 cup eggplant (sauted with pork)

I’m always looking forward for or weekend meal,  Because our family always enjoyed eating together. Even if the table is a mess (you know how messy kids eat) but its all worth it.

 During weekends, we use our veranda as our dining area. It is our time to enjoy the cool breeze of fresh air from the trees that surrounds the house and the natural light from the day sun. Also, its our time to mingle with the neighbours especially with our long time neighbourhood friend ninang/tita Glen.

My kids enjoyed inviting her over for lunch, breakfast or even dinner. My boys likes to tell her story about their day or the week that was. And tita Glen knows how to appreciate the kids...

Also, what i love about weekends, are the Saturday naps. After lunch and a few hours of chikkahan and kulitan with the kids, we prepare for our afternoon naps. This is the time i get to enjoy taking naps and reading stories for my two boys.  If others opt to go the mall on Saturdays, i prefer being at home with my family, playing hide and seek under the sheets and pillows or story telling with the kids... 

Then at 5pm, i started preparing Dinner. I plan to cook fresh lumpia for dinner. And so i instrvcted my angels to chop Singkamas, onion, garlic, carrots, beans, cabbage. With ¼ giniling and ¼ shrimp. I prepared my lumpia. By 7pm, we enjoyed dinner. I still have enovgh lumpia to share with my officemates. I have to thank my team mate Ophie for svggesting the recipe. Good that there is available ubod in the market.

I still have to perfect the sauce and the wrapper, but nevertheless, my family enjoyed it. 

Dinner:

1 serving of lumpiang ubod

Before going to sleep, my reward for cooking for my family was a back massage, courtesy of my husband. I still am suffering from my back ache. After the massage, i was able to slumber to sleep easily.

Day 8 of Biggest Loser Challenge 2

February 21, 2001 is the 8th day of Biggest Loser Challenge 2, Monday.

Because i was so guilty that i over-eat yesterday, i was determined to wake up early and work out.

So at 6:00am, i was doing my stretching, resistance and jumping rope exercises. I still cant beat my outstanding record of 1200, because at 400 my son Kenneth woke up and started to make lambing and wanted to play with me and Kuya Karl... So to continue my workout, i played sprint with them inside
the garage. I plan to take pictures of my early morning workout and post it here soon.,

Note to self: I have to wake up earlier than 6am, so that i could extend my workout time, and do more repetitions. And at the same time, i could still play with may boys when they woke up, before i prepare for office.

At the office, we went to the warehouse again to weigh-in. And i'm glad that my current weight is now........ 63.6kgs or 140.238lbs... i lost 1.323lbs  from last friday...

All in all.. i lost 2.205 lbs... or 1 Kilo... 9 kgs more to lose! If i could keep this up, i could lose 10 kgs in 10 weeks... I hope!

I ate my breakfast past 8am, so by lunch, im not starving. I just ate half of a small pineapple. I set aside the other half for my other better half (Sweeeeeet!) Did i mention, he's also on diet? hahaha....

Breakfast:
1/2 cup rice
1 serving of ginisang togue with tokwa
2 senorita banana

Lunch: 1 slice of pineapple
2 pcs senorita banana

I have proven last time, that to be successful in any diet endeavor, Your immediate family will be your No. 1 supporter. So before i started this challenge, i talked to them and explain that when i go on this diet, the
whole household should be too.. Except the kids, ofcourse.

And i'm glad that they understand and they support me all the way....Even my kids, whose with my during my workouts. 

PM Snack:
2 pieces of Rebisco Wheat Crackers
1 pc of wheat bread with tuna spread
2 pcs of seniority banana
2 pcs of Sylvanas from Fed  (Yeah! it was a pasalubong from Fed, from Nueva Ecija, cant resist because these delicacy was to die for... I swear, i'll buy one of those after these challenge, but only after i reached my desired weight...)

I also need to up my workout because of the sugar contents of those Sylvanas!

So,  after office,  i jogged with my work colleague and fellow mountaineer friend, Fed. My girl team mates decided to do a hip-hop abs workout instead. I jogged for 20 minutes and walked 10 minutes back to the office.

By the time i get back from jogging, i was exausted and hungry. Maybe because i skipped my lunch. So i ate the handful of peanuts that i have in my bag, leftover from our trip from the mall last saturday.

Lessons learned: Never to skip lunch.

I walked for 15  minutes from the hiway to the house, and when i got home, i did some cool down routines, plus 50 situps and pushup combinations.

After workout, before i hit the shower, i ate my dinner.

Dinner:
2 pcs of buntot ng bangus (with black beans)
1 mug of Anlene milk


I survived my 8th day... more to go....

Day 6 of Biggest Loser Challenge 2

February 19, 2011 is the 6th day of Biggest Loser Challenge 2, Saturday.

Early morning jogging with hubby and kids.

We  walk 20 minutes to the park, brought the jumping rope with us as requested by Karl and i was able to do 3 rounds of 8-minute jog, with 5 minutes interval, because we have to alternate guard the kids while me and hubby alternate jog. While waiting for my turn, i keep my momentum by doing repititions on the jumping rope. So as not to put my self into rest mode while waiting for my turn to jog.

Breakfast was 1 cup of sopas, cooked by one of my angels, ate lyn. With 1 glass of water.

Since its a weekend, and every weekend, we make it a point to enjoy family time. So i bought 2 large Tilapia and 1/2 kilo of Liempo and we ate lunch Boodle-fight style.


But still i manage to control myself and set aside my own meal.

Lunch was :
2 servings of Lettuce-cucumber-tomato-onion-balsamic vinegar sauce
1/2 cup rice
1/2 medium tilapia

In the picture, it was the liempo that i set aside for my lunch but when im about to eat it, i realize its harder to burn the calories from the pork than the fish, so i settled for the Tilapia instead.

I enjoyed the salad, though i might have overdid the vinegar. I was able to buy 20 pesos worth of romane lettuce at Liza's vegetable store and the overpriced onion and cucumber at RP wet market on our way home earlier.

Dessert was 1 piece of saging na saba.

I enjoyed lunch, even without the liempo and limited rice (in boodlefights, one cant help but to eat more rice because maybe of the company or the setup of the way it is eaten--on a banana leaf), mainly because i was able to eat with the company of my family and felt the feeling that your not physically busog, but emotionally satisfied....

 
Later that afternoon, we went to SM Nova to open my son Kenneth his BDO Junior Savings account and when we're done, we strolled together around the mall. It was then that i realize that when you're on a diet, and you're in a mall, it's hard to fight the tempations of eating.

My boys insisted on eating at Mcdonalds. And as usual, we ordered chicken, chocolate sundae and french fries for the boys. I ordered nothing, but my hubby ordered the Largest fries to share while the kids enjoyed their food. Again, i was again facing temptation. Like a habit, My hubby spread the fries on the tray, with the ketchup dip beside. Who would never give in to this temptation. i did!

Im a hipocrite if i blogged that i was not tempted. I was. I was tempted and i gave in. I took 1 piece from the tray..enjoyed it, and left the table. I left my boys at Mcdonalds and headed to BookSale. Its better when im not around food, in a very non-dieter-friendly environment. I let my boys enjoy their food, while i bask myself on to other things that i enjoy, reading.

Afterwards, i saw a booth selling peanuts, so i bought 50 grams of roasted cashew nuts. I read that nuts are good source of fats and protein. So it may be the only food in the mall that is good for me. So i enjoyed every bit of it, and shared it with my boys on our way home...


At home before dinner, we stayed outside and enjoyed the cool weather summer nights bring. My boys and me enjoyed our chikkahan with Tita Glen (My longtime neighborhood friend). While chatting, i manage to do some resistance exercises and complete my jumping rope routing. My record as of today is 1200. and still counting...


At Dinner, i made salad again. 1/2 cup of the left over monggo and a slice of the fried shrimp omelet. No rice.

After dinner, movie night with the family. Usually family movie nights are spent with large packs of chichirya and coke and home cooked popcorn. But tonight, we just settled for the movie.

As i was composing this blog at around 2:30am, while my boys are sound asleep, i heard my stomach grumbled. Good thing that i have Nestle fruit selection Yogurt and Jelly--Buko pandan flavor. It's delish and cheaper... I still have the strawberry flavor on stock...but 1 is enough for today...

Why did i join the Biggest Loser Challenge?

Last night, while i was surfing thru the net and hopping into my friends walls in facebook, i happen to stumble into my College friend Arnie Operana. And i saw here pictures that involves climbing and running.

Deep inside, i envy her.

There was still this part of me that wants to wander the mountains that i once have conquered. And lately, i have been reading on some running events that suddenly i want to participate in.

So this morning, when i asked this question to myself, What did i join the Biggest Loser Challenge? It's because.. i want to get into shape and do the things i want to do... Run into the wild.. Figuratively and literally...

This coming April 2011, i will have a major reunion climb with my Old Chopsuey mountaineering group in Pulag, Benguet. I want to have fun during the climb and not worry if im physically fit for the climb. I dont want to be a casualty for the group, so i have to prepare and train.

Also, i want to take on running as an hobby. But first, i have to be physically fit to cover distance. With my 10kgs overweight baggage, how will i go far?

When i was still single, i enjoyed joining Mountaineering escapades. I've been to the far and high north, been to the Visayas and some part of Mindanao.  When i became a mom five years ago, my travels were limited to only 1 climb or major out of town travel per year. It's not that i regret being a mom and being married. What i want is that i could be physically fit to do all the Mom/Wife jobs and at the same time, to be able to travel and enjoy life with my family.

I want to be able to run and race with my boys when they grow up.

I want to be able to climb with my Hubby, even when were in our 40s or more.

I still want to travel. And take my family with me.

And this is a start. To be physically fit.

At 3pm today, the adjacent department gave us pansit, palabok and barbeque.. tsk,tsk,tsk, while my officemates enjoyed the food, i busy myself blogging..hayz..

some of my colleagues teased on how good the food was, but i hold on to my chair, never let myself near within 3 feet close to the food, or else i lose my control and give in.

times like this are hard, but come to think of it, these are the similar times that made me gain my 10kgs overweight. so in my mind, will i give in or will i just sit on my chair and blog... guess what i did...

im still here didn't i...

hahaha...hehehe..hihihi..

im writing useless words in my blog just to keep me busy and think of anything else other than the food 5-feet away from me... i think im losing my mind... the smell of the palabok and barbeque still lingers ...aaahhhhhh....

i can smell the sauce of the barbeque, sweet. plus the shrimp from the palabok. i just busy myself my scrutinizing the smell of the food. maybe i'll get my satisfaction here.... telling to myself: "dont worry joy..in a little later, you'll be munching on your banana, egg and pineapple yum...". i may be fooling myself, but its what i got... i should not give in... in a little while the food will be gone, gone also is the smell.. and the temptation will be all over.. in a few...

at 4:10 its over... i made it...and im feeling good about myself...

Day 0 - Biggest Loser Challenge 2

Day 0

A day before our first weigh-in on our 2nd Biggest Loser Challenge.

I've taken my body measurements just now... but hesitant to post because i never realized how big, and i mean big, my measurements.. But what the heck! If this is for the betterment of me. Here goes:

in inches..

Waist:38; Hips:36; Thigh-22;Leg-15;Arms-11;Bust-40;Lower Bust-36.

2 days before today, i weighed at 64.1 kgs or 141.316 lbs.

Today... since this will be my last 24-hours that i'm allowed to eat whatever i crave for, i ate spaghetti and palabok and coffee crumble.. without counting the servings.. just eating like its my last day alive...

Tommorrow will be our first weigh-in. After the weigh-in, it's official.. i'm on a diet... But before that, i'm enjoying my mug of coffee crumble and cookies and cream while blogging....yummm

Before my weight loss program start, i have research on strategies on how to do this... and here is my plan:

Excersise/Routine:
i need to have 20-minute cardio excercise a day so in the morning i will be brisk walking from house to nova bayan; a 30-minute walk. but Will start after march 18 coz i still need to drop by karl to his school before going to work. in the meantime..i will walk from Nova bayan to our house after office.
Note to my self: Dont forget walking shoes and socks

Will wake up at 5:30am and work-out with jumping rope and to feel the cold morning air.
Note to myself: Buy new sets of rope.

Jogging on mornings of saturdays and sundays with my hubby. Plan to increase my time double each weekend. Just to push myself everytime.

I have to maintain my daily calorie requirement, and not over eat...

Breakfast will be 1/2 cup rice and any viand available. All breakfast menu i prepared is vegetable and a little of meat.

Lunch will be wheat bread and tuna sandwich. Will check market on fresh cucumber and lettuce to go with it.

For the rest of the day, i'll be munching on nothing but fruits & vegetables alone. No questions asks...

Allowed drinks throughout the day is only water. Juice but 1-2 servings only, for a little endulgment.
Note to myself: Drink 1 glass of Anlene before going to sleep.

However, i will still look forward to our usual sunday lunch with the family. Its the only time, i get to enjoy eating with them. But this time, i will be checking on my food intake and not over-indulge

Things i need to remember:

1. Lessen computer time at home.
Note to myself: To have 8 hours of sleep.

2. No carbonated drinks. No sweets.

3. Not to be grumpy whenever im hungry, so as not to affect my work and relationship to the people around me.

4. Read..Read..Read on new ideas how to improve my weight loss program.



That's it for now... Good luck to my team.. "TEAM MISSION SLIMPOSSIBLE"..
