Subconscious Hints.

Nika — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 01:00:07 +0000

The heavens is sending me a message. xD I was doing some free browsing today for design ideas on niche sites and I ended up on a chain of supplement reviews. I think my subconscious mind is telling me I need to start working out. The erratic weather changes have been making me lethargic so I haven’t done much working out. I don’t feel like going outside our home some days, my soft bed is too tempting.

I do have to start losing weight though. I’m turning another year older in a few days so I have to really work on losing this weight so I can live longer.

Burping.

I’ve been plagued by endless burping for a week now. One time I even threw up after finishing dinner because of it. I’ve been avoiding cold water and sodas but it still hasn’t stopped. I’ve also taken Kremil-S but it didn’t work either. Its annoying because it disrupts my sleeping pattern. I can’t sleep when I have a bout of burping on. It keeps me from breathing normally when I lie down so I need to wait until it subsides before I can try to sleep. It usually stops in the morning, so I only get to sleep in daylight while I stay up all night with the burping problem. -sigh-

Searching.

Whenever I hear about new products on tv or see their names from flyers and brochures lying around I tend to look for online reviews about them. I’ve just gotten used to searching the internet for feedback on products so my search history is filled with inquiries about weight loss, baking recipes and job postings. I randomly click on items so I end up finding information about VPX NO Shotgun or Happy Slim or Spicy Mousse Cake and a whole other random items.

Much like those wikipedia games people do where they dare people to get to an entry using the shortest clicks possible.

Bars.

I saw one of those pull up bars that you attach above a door from one of my friend’s pictures. I’d like to try them in the future once I get into a manageable weight because I don’t think I can pull myself with my current status. If I lose around 50 pounds or more I can probably muster the strength needed to lift myself on those bars. Just thinking about it makes my arms and legs ache.

I think my little brother would enjoy it though. He’d make it work like a playground. xD

Water matter.

Nika — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 20:18:12 +0000

We’ve been having some water problems the past couple of days. Our compound has a central tank where all the water comes from and lately I’m not feeling well after drinking the water from the tap. We started getting our drinking water delivered by the water refilling station near our place so my stomach isn’t aching anymore. Dad suggested getting our own filter system before and we can buy high quality steel drums to store the water. We’re still thinking about it since it’s hard to find drums here and when we do, it’s usually expensive.

Healthy lifestyle.

I still think I can lose weight without actually undergoing weight loss surgery. I mean it would be great if I can lose all the weight I need to lose in one sitting but I’m not too sure I am ready to go under the knife for it yet. I still can try regular exercise and healthy meals and I think I can do it. Right now I’m trying to find a perfect balance between my work and a healthy lifestyle because I work nights and sleep in the morning.

I’m not working in a call center but the work I have right now deals with clients who are mostly in the US. I have to be awake when they are awake, so I usually end up sleeping in the mornings and waking up late afternoon or just before lunch.

Pores, pores, pores.

Nika — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:37:24 +0000

Maybe I should try local acne cleansers that’s readily available from the supermarket. But then I don’t want to make a mistake and make myself too dry. Lately I’ve been going from oily to normal to dry and back. I have to remember to get some pore strips from Watsons. I have so many blackheads right now and its annoying me. I have to get myself a facial before my HK trip. I need it bad.

Zitty week.

Nika — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:28:04 +0000

The break outs I’m currently experiencing is making me even more stressed out. I don’t know what product to use on my face anymore. The ones I have right now are not working and even the old ones I used isn’t helping when I tried them again. I do hope its not acne, but if that is the case, I’ll have to find the best acne treatment possible without breaking my budget. I’m going to hold using the LR products I got and find a gentler one.

Losing the losing race.

Nika — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 12:55:11 +0000

I’ve tried a bit of weight loss products in the past and I think part of the reason why it failed on me was my failure to follow through. Sometimes when I started feeling a little discomfort, I stopped taking them. I’ve wasted some of the things I bought due to that. I might try it again and see if i can really finish the whole pack just to see if the stuff really works.

Fruits.

Nika — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 04:50:45 +0000

I’m thinking of taking vitamins after reading about some information on best vitamins available. Although I’m also considering just increasing my intake of fruits and vegetables each day. I’d love to incorporate as much fruit as possible on my daily diet however fruit can be quite costly. I’m thinking the benefits justifies the cost though, so I might be able to sneak it into my budget. I’d have to check out the fruits in the local market and buy some for this week.
