Remind me to use 5kg dumbells next time...

I've been really wanting to shed my pregnancy weight.
I weighed 127lbs when I learned that I was pregnant.
I went as high as 160lbs when I was pregnant.
I was at around 140lbs after giving birth to a 6.5lbs baby...
Now, after more than 15 months, I am down (still) at 130lbs.
An ideal weight for me should be umm...110lbs. hehehe.
20lbs more to go.

Well, I really have to watch what I eat and do exercises.

I am such a lazy girl!

I go to the gym...yes...umm...at least once every 2 months?
So many excuses.

Today, I went back to the gym after a loooong time...I don't even remember when the last time I was at the gym!

My whole body feels really good.
What a good work-out can do.

But do remind me to use 5kg dumbells the next time...
I think I've been using 4kg dumbells for several years now...
Excuses again!!!

But of course, remind me first to go to the gym more religiously!

What's Your Favorite Christmas Song?

I am so much into the Christmas season already.

I've decorated our home as early as mid-September and even bought a Poinsettia from Tagaytay (hoping it will "survive" up to December")

And today, I am uploading Christmas Songs into my iPod Touch.

Christmas is my favorite holiday more than any other season.
I even look forward more to Christmas than my birthdays.

You see, you get to get away with a lot of things during Christmas...people always say "Pasko naman eh". =)

And more than receiving gifts during this season, I actually look forward to sharing my blessings for the year.

So as I write this blog, my all-time favorite Christmas song is playing in the background...

"My Grown Up Christmas List"

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
and wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
(there'd be)

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown up christmas list
