Yes, I'm not overweight!

Since we're not busy here in the office I had all the time to browse the net. One thing I had in mind is to check if I'm overweight, I found a site in which I think is quite reliable for me to believe it.  It's not that I just believed it after realizing I wasn't overweight, no, I checked other sites that's about this BMI thing, they speak the same regarding the matter so I'm sharing it on my blog.

I've highlighted the result of my BMI and the category where I belong. See that? I say it's not much to be happy about, I see there that I'm still healthy, but look at it, I'm almost at the end margin of that category. It's worrying me that I'm closer to being overweight. Wish my weight will drop down... I wish.

Now you wanna know your BMI? You can check it here. Enjoy!

I am 128 lbs.

I felt like an anvil flopped on my head realizing my current weight. I couldn't accept that after all the trying to reduce my weight in the past, still, they're not enough. I know it's also my fault that it happened. I tried to put down my weight but in the end--- after some days or weeks--- I'd go back eating garbage. Such a disappointment. I remember back in High School I was only weighing 100-110 lbs. I don't have flabby stomach back then, I wasn't even fat ever. But now, things have changed as you grow older, I believe. If you weren't looking after yourself, you'll fall apart after seeing what you see in yourself is someone you kinda don't like. I hate it. Man, I wanna lose weight so badly that it's killing me. It's disheartening that I feel so down right now. Writing this makes me sick.

Since yesterday, I bought this weighing scale to finally keep track of my weight loss or gain anytime I please. I've decided I should by my own cuz I can't go to the hospital or clinic just to check my weight, if I did I couldn't do it often. At least this way, whenever I thought of checking I could unpack my weighing scale from its box, and that's it.

Next is my ab exercise machine. I just ordered Ab Swing II, actually. I did it the moment I woke up from sleep this afternoon. It cost a little much, but I've kept an amount of money for this day to come, so I'm ready. It'll arrive this Wednesday, so, probably I could start exercising the day after or this weekend. I hope in two weeks time I could see best results on my tummy and weight.

I know discipline is the key to success, I don't wanna keep promising myself that I should do this and shouldn't do that raa raa, all I wanna do is take care of myself from now on.

Novels to read.

Please Lord give me the strength to read all the books on my list. Amen.

You might think I'm a slow reader if I say I'm just about to finish reading the novel I've mentioned in my previous entry... was it last week? Sorry. Anyway, I'm not rushing myself to finish a novel then move to another like in one sitting per day you know. It's not like some reading homework I remember back in college in which I gotta speed read the whole thick with almost tiny font size of a book or photocopied materials, not for this. Reading novels supposedly done while you unwind, chill. When my mood's like that I read without care of time, I just read. Ah! maybe depending on the scenes of the chapters, when they're not dull and has too satiating drama going on, I could finish the earliest. If the scenes are otherwise, I tend to get sleepy or lazy to turn the pages, so I usually pause until my strength has recovered.

In terms of books, I usually go for the romance genre, doesn't matter if it's drama, psychological, history or what not, for as long as there's a love story involve, I'm very much into it.  Must be a girl thing why I have wide appreciation for such.

While browsing the net, I yahoo-ed some sites where they could recommend good books to read. Luckily, I found one, I thought it's reliable so I depended on it, it's here. In reference to the list of recommended books from that site I've decided to read the following: Speak by Laurie Anderson, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I choose them cuz they involve crimes, social and psychological issues, something that might sound scandalous, I guess. I think the books I'm picking nowadays are continuation of the genre of the book I'm currently reading, does it make sense?

All the way from Korea---- instant drinks.

I'm back working on an entry cuz something noteworthy happened today. I've mentioned before my mom's Korean client/friend, you remember? She brought all the goodies we've asked of her when she was about to leave the country to go back to her homeland, to rest, to simply have a break from stress. I think she just arrived today and then had to come over to our office to give all our requested items from her. She bought everything as expected. Actually most of the items are from my request cuz I enjoyed their instant stuff. Like of course their Korean Red Ginseng tea. I like drinking that tea cuz I can sleep well all night long after drink, and whenever I wake up the next morning, I don't have anxieties. Also, this I'm not very sure but I think it's somewhat helping me with my diet, like I don't feel bloated and heavy in my stomach. For the instant Pumpkin soup/tea, I like the taste of it the moment I had a sip from a free-tasting kiosk at a grocery store back in Korea. The mom of my mom's Korean client/friend even gave us a couple of sachets of that pumpkin soup/tea, I had a worthwhile eating time with that soup/tea which I truly enjoyed. Now I have a small box all for myself, I'll savor it more. There's another instant soup/tea that was given to us, this assorted nuts soup/tea was not my request but she bought a box for her 'pasalubong'. I've used a sachet to try and see if I'll like it which I did. But I think the pumpkin soup/tea is what I like more. Lastly, it's my mom's request this time, she asked for a BB Cream from Missha. As we all know Missha is very known for BB Creams. Mom's just newly introduced to BB Creams, I hope she'll like it.
