Luningning: The characterization of a person as “beautiful”, whether on an individual basis or by community consensus, is often based on some combination of inner beauty and outer beauty.

geri: Sandy, good job on the 2.5 loss! Wow, inggit ako. Sana ako rin... I am always dreading the plateau.
geri: tayo, I will be celaning my pantry and fridge because of this tag. I just saw Oregon in the news this morning about your winter storm.
geri: Sands, na aliw ako sa post mo. That's a good tip re sore muscles, I didn't know that. Re Quaker Oatmeal breakfast, I didn't understand the question very much but I think the oatmeal is 2 points 1 cup cooked and blueberry is 1 pt per cup and skim milk is 2 pts per cup. I always allot 5 pts for breakfast and 5 pts for lunch then play around with the 10 points for the whole day. My lightest meal is dinner with the 0 point Progresso Soup and/or steamed veggies with toast or english muffin. Pareho ta
Sandy: Hi Ger, you know what, I think one of the reason why I didn't lose weight last Monday was because of my soreness. I read in the WW forum that muscle soreness retains water so that makes you feel/look bloated. So dapat talaga when your muscles are aching drink lots of water para ma flush lahat ng retained liquids sa system mo. I actually don't care shoveling kasi sabi mo nga pampabawas calories, pero sana bukas walang heavy snow kasi busy ang career ng lola mo bukas, LOL!
geri: Sands, you know what I actually enjoyed shoveling the snow because I know that will help me in my weight goal. Since I've in WW my mindset has really changed, pati the household chores I enjoy doing them too haha. Sira ba? My car got stuck in the snow too but a neighbour helped, but getting it out I was all alone. Major sense of accomplishment ang feeling when I was able to do it. But unlike you I didn't have a sked... I would've panicked too if it was me.
Sandy: Lola Rhebs,Hindi naman ako katangkaran, as in tama lang.
Rhebs: Tangkad mo pala Lola Sandy. Mas matangkad ata si Ger sa'yo.. I think she is 5'6.
Mheldz: Hi Sandz, Its nice that we have this circle of friends that has the same goal!! Nakaka hawa di ba :). Keep it up and looking forward to your road to sexy-ness
Sandy: Hi Ger, per WW, my 10% weight target goal is 128.7lb, but my goal is 125 lbs. When I first started my weight was my highest ever and I was so concern about it...I was 143 lbs!!! :(
Sandy: Hi Rhebs, ay salamat!!! Di kita dinedma huh, ikaw pa! :)
geri: Sandy, happy birthday! Pati ako na-touch sa sinulat ng MIL mo. Yes, you are blessed to have an MIL wou loves you. 1 lb is still worth celebrating especially for women like us who are not really that far from our target weight. Btw, what is your target weight ba?
Rhebs: 5 lbs already?!?!?? WAY TO GO, Sandy!!!! So you now my official fitness buddy :-) Kala ko kasi di ka interested to be my buddy kasi deadma mo ako heheheHugs and congrats!!!
Mheldz: Hi Sandz..Musta jan s ainyo?? Ang lamig nooo?/Brrrr...gud to hear that u r having success w/ ur weightloss goals.Sama din ako jan..Sana nga sexy na tayo pareho bago mag summer
Rhebs: Sandy, you've got to keep us posted with your WW progress ... so mag blog ka na..(taray ko noh? hehehe) Hugs to you, Sands
Tess: got an award for u, link is in my name! TC! good luck in ur WW!
Sandy: core plan seems easy to follow pero mahirap pala esp when there's a special occasion. On my first week I was not able to consume all my points bec. I was so cautious. I don't know, I think I will wait 'til this week and I'll see if I'll do the plan change. Worked out today and gained back 3 pts. for this week. I'm really hoping that I'll lose at least 1.5lbs next week esp. that another special dinner is coming this weekend:)
geri: You're doing a great job! Aren't you excited about getting that key ring soon? :) Btw, one of the things I like about the flex plan is that it familiarizes me with healthy portion, great to know when in parties or trips.
geri: Sandy, I'm so happy that you joined WW. I'm on the flex plan. Our leader advised it for newcomers to familiarize with the feeling of fullness or something like that. I originally wanted to do core plan pero now I find the flex plan just more convenient for me although I feel that the core plan is healthier in the long run. Congrats on your 5 lbs! If sa 'yo guilt feelings re using up your week points ako naman feeling of fear :) Pero we need to work on getting rid of these feelings don't we? You'
Bless: hi Sandy thanks for the visit in my blog. thanks for your prayers and thoughts. i appreciate it very much. God bless.
Steph: Wassup! Happy New Year Sandy, hope to hear from you soon.
Tess : Happy New year lola Sandz! Hope u have a blissful 2008!
Sandy: Hi Mel, Christmas was good as usual although we didn't spend it this year with papsy's family. Santa was very generous as always and can't complain at all, LOL!

GOODBYE ’07, HELLO ’08!!!

Whoa!  How’s everyone doing nowadays?  At the neck of our woods it’s cold and snowy as usual.  Our Christmas and New Year surely was considered a silent one; we didn’t spend it with my in-laws because the mountain passes were not safe at all for travelling.  So as expected, we still have to open Christmas gifts from my in-laws and we still have our gifts for them with us.  We’ve always been planning to travel and visit them especially my mother-in-law, but every time we’re supposed to leave on a certain day, there would always be a severe weather warning and we really don’t want to risk it, except of course if there’s an emergency and we really need to travel.

Santa Claus aka “papsy” has been very generous as always with his gifts.  I got my new digital camera (of course!), a Jack La Lanne Power Juicer, a very nice top and several other stocking stuffers. 

We had a white Christmas on Christmas day and it was great because in my four Christmases over here in the US, and three of them being spent in the valley (where my in-laws are), we never had a white Christmas over there.  We were invited to a dinner at a close friend’s house on Christmas Day.  It was good because I didn’t fix anything and the hostess firmly told us to come hungry because she was having a prime rib steak for dinner.  After we had our dinner and opening of gifts, we all decided to drive all the way to the cinema house and watched “The National Treasures” of Nicolas Cage.  The drive from our friends’ house to the cinema was such a pain in the rear end because the snow was pouring so heavy.  The most painful of all was when it was time to drive back home because our wind shield was so icy and poor papsy had to do the scraping and unfortunately we didn’t have a de-icer in the car!  But anyway, it was fun and we have arrived home safely and stuffed from the Christmas dinner and the bucketful of pop corn in the cinemaJ. christmas dinner @ the rowland'sChristmas Dinner with the Rowland's and the Goddard'spaps scraping snow/ice scraping the ice from the wind shield

 

New Year’s Eve was as usual nothing compared as to how it is celebrated in the Philippines.  I just fixed a special dinner for both of us, baked a pumpkin pie as our dessert and gathered all the round fruits that Ate G reminded me to have for New Year.  Around 7:00PM after our dinner, I went to work and joined my well loved lolos and lolas for their New Year’s Eve Party.  By 9PM I was back home and waited for the ball to fall in NYC and woke up after I heard a few revelers with their phyrotechnics.  I did not bother to go out and see how it was because I know it wasn’t as fancy as it is when it’s the 4th of July.

ICY ROADS…..

I know it’s the time of the year for icy roads and I should not be complaining at all because it’s expected anyway.  Yesterday, when I went to the library to pick up my reserved borrowed books, my car slid before I was able to park it.  Good thing I was the only one on that side of the parking lot and I really felt grateful that I did not hit anything at all.  I was suppose to go to Victoria’s Secret after picking up my books because they’re now having their Semi-Annual Sale, but after I had that incident of sliding, I chickened out and decided to just go back home and read my books.  Unfortunately, after I turned left on a corner from the library on my way back home, my car slid again and it was so scary because I thought I was going to crash on the post.  I was only driving about 5mph on an icy road (that road hasn’t been sanded at all and the ice was I think 2 or 3 inches thick all over) and I was able to maneuver my steering wheel as hard as I can to my right without using my brakes.  After the car had stopped I felt like I have grains of sweat flowing over my whole body, LOL!  I know it wasn’t funny at all but it was such an experience and papsy reminded me once again never to be driving at all when roads are slick and icy.  Well, I surely did learn my lesson and will never do it again.

Have a great 2008!!!!
