Smoothies

It was before leaving for the Philippines last year with my two daughters that I have discovered smoothies through the book I have purchased entitled "The Abs Diet for Women" by David Zinczenko. I originally saw an article in Men's Health about this. My eagerness to have a flat stomach has been fueled by a former classmate's comment where he saw me with bulging stomach-- it was a year after a gave birth to my youngest daughter.

Coupled with brisk walking and a fervent desire to fit on my favorite white top, I prepared smoothies every morning, brisk walked and ate salad in the evening. And yes, after two months I lost the bulge.

The holiday 2011 was spent with fun,family and food!! Lots of food. I have forgone having smoothies and instead opted for fried rice, pandesal and more.

Then I regained my bulges and now started having smoothies again in the morning, brisk walking and eating lightly. It's gratifying to feel active.

Flat stomach? I think I'm getting there.

Yummy! Hubby and I started to do jogging lately to lose the bulges too hehe :) been also making fruit shakes To beat the summer heat here in the Philippines. But I wonder if it helps in losing the bulge because the drink is icy cold?

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?

A Kulasa and being on (Swiss) time

I cannot remember being "that late" besides I am a Kulasa and being on the dot was instilled in me. Well, there were times that due to unforseen circumstances I would be 5-10 mins late but that was it. So it was during my first two years of living here that I have really learned the importance of Swiss time . That thanks to my Mama. My mother would leave me when I didn't arrive on time. I would be upset and could not fathom the idea of being left like that. So I've learned to be on the dot(again) every time I have to see her. The idea of being late and being left behind stresses me to the max esp. if it is Mama. Now that I have two gals an extra time allowance has to be given so as not to be late. Besides,the buses have their stop and schedule so there are no more excuses. All I have to do is just be on time!
