Trio Does the Trick

Posted on October 24, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I’ve a little secret.

I’ve started taking these herbal pills being advertised on tv, the ones which say has L carnitine to help burn the fat. It has a caution though that diet and exercise SHOULD be accompanying these, two of which I don’t really have spent some time with. The trio does the trick of losing weight.

In my quest to find the best weight loss supplements I ignored two important factors: diet and exercise. I know, no pain, no gain. In this case, no pain, no weight loss. And for someone like me who is not getting any younger, losing the excess pounds is very hard to achieve.

Unless I go to a “beauty” expert and have these lasered or whatever.

Back to My Morning Walks

Posted on September 15, 2009 by greenbucks| 4 Comments

After more than a week of daily heavy downpour, the sun finally shone. Early mornings are cool and just perfect for walking. Yes, I am back to walking after several days of “stagnation”.

I have been exercising indoors but for me, nothing beats doing these morning rounds, never mind the many dog poo piles I have to be on the look out for, hah.

The kids noticed (well according to them) that my midsection looked better before the week-long rains but now I think I am back to the same shape prior to walking. Sigh.

Fenphedra to the rescue?

Hmmm… maybe not yet, I will give this early morning ritual some more tries as I go back to my routine. I just hope the rains won’t come back yet 😀

Exercising Indoors

Posted on June 28, 2009 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

We have been amiss going to that place where we can do walking and biking. The weather has been odd these past few weeks and we definitely do not want to be caught in a downpour with nowhere to go to for protection.

With flu (A(H1N1) season almost at its peak, being exposed to the elements is not a priority. Yeah right, even if the mid-body weight seem to be accumulating fast.

Yes, I am in need of physical exercise not just to stretch the legs and be active but to be able to sweat it out.

I once asked hubby if it is a good idea to get that step-exercise machine I saw at a nearby mall or perhaps take a look at the treadmills on display for an alternative physical exercise indoors.

But as I continue bouncing on this TheraBand ball I am sitting on, I came to realize that having fancy exercise machines can’t make me get up and move if i do not haul my *** off this seat and move.

Well, i really need to do that, after I have posted this 😉
