Sandy: hi darling, thanks for the visit. i rarely drink slimfast because it's loaded with sugar, i only use it once in a while. the best pa rin ang regular breakfast meal esp. loaded with wholegrains liek oatmeal kasi because it helps a lot esp. when you're trying to lose some weight. good luck on your diet and nice talking to you too.

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!

Sandy: Hi Lan, thanks for the greeting and yes, tatanda nanaman ako this month, LOL!

Mheldz: Kamusta ang xmas mo?? Happy New Year to you and papsy Lorin.

Lanie: Advance Happy, Happy Birthday Lola! ^___^

Lanie: Lola, thank you so much sa xmas card! ^_^

Mheldz: Hi Sandz, Thank you for the beautiful xmas card. I feel bad too kc di tayo nakpag meet (sigh) lets keep trying...I'm sure there will be next time. Merry Xmas & Happy new Year to u & to ur papsy :)

Tess: got an award for u, link is in my name, meri krismas lola Sandz! TC! Keep warm!

My Better Half (Because I’m the Worst Half)

This tag is simple. If you feel comfortable and your better half does too, you can post a picture of him in your blog (but if not a description will do).

In-in instructed me to do this, so In, here’s what you requested and hope you don’t get bored, LOL!

Okay, my bitterJ half’s name is Lorin aka “papsy” or “papi”. We met online (where else?) in 2002, met in person in 2003 and finally got hitched in 2004. Papsy is the kind of guy who takes baby steps (not because of his knee problemJ); I mean all decisions are being thought of and planned really well before he jumps into something. Yeah, it took him quite a while to decide whether to get hitched or to just stay single all his life. He told me that he’s really having regrets not meeting me 10 years ago and be as happy and always being fed well as he is right now. Yeah right!

Papsy and his 3 other siblings were brought up really well by two amazing parents. Too bad I wasn’t able to meet my father in law because he died several years ago. Papsy is the kind of guy who is very spiritual and gentleman (pero medyo bastosJ). He’s a very good provider but he can be so frugal in a lot of ways. For him, it’s not important to impress other people with what you have (the fancy things) but instead he has this belief that he would rather have some saved money for the future and for rainy days than to be paying all these expensive things that you can see around. In short, simple living ang dating, LOL!

Plans 20 to 30 years from now, I cannot say anything about that but hopefully by that time we’re still both alive and kicking and healthy as we can be, LOL! Kidding aside, we cannot really plan ahead that long but instead carpe diem!

For me it’s really a blessing and I thank God that He has given me the right person in His time and not the timeline that I planned for myself when I was still younger.

I not am tagging anyone because I’m pretty sure that most of the person I have in mind has already been assigned by In-in to do this assignment, LOL!

Wow Sandy, reading about your papsy strikes me the many similarities he has with my own Tom like the baby steps, being single, frugal etc. That baby picture of him soooo cute. Kelan kaya ang papsy junior niyo? hehe
