Preggy look

This is how I look now  and I’m not happy about it. Proof that I was mistaken for being pregnant was the comment made by a lady market vendor. I was buying hotdogs from her stall when the lady wearing a smile on her face asked me if I was pregnant. ‘Oh, no, I’m not,’ I told her. ‘I thought you were pregnant because you gain weight,’ she said. ‘Ah, yes I’ve added pounds because I’m sitting in front of the computer most of the time..’ ‘Oh, I see.’

The truth hurts. But what can I do? Even if I’m tempted to take slimming pills, I’m still unsure if I will be getting the safest diet pill. There are so many available diet pills in the market, it’s just difficult to decide which one is effective.

My motivational mantra

Remember this mantra I wrote last year?

“I am aware that I’m stout.
I will begin to exercise and watch my diet.
I will do this for my health.
I will do this for my family.
And so it is!”

So what happened nearly a year after I wrote this? Did I accomplish anything yet? I gain more pounds instead of losing them! The mantra doesn’t seem to work because I don’t exercise and to top it all I don’t watch my diet. And what happened to the “walking” plan I made about two weeks ago? I haven’t started it yet not until I finished this project that’s keeping me busy these days..

Will I be able to give myself a chance while reciting this mantra or a secratatropin hgh will do the work for me? I’m losing patience about this whole plan to trim down. Help!

The real fat burner

My last post discusses the benefit of physical exercise particularly walking for those engaged in sedentary occupations.

This time it’s still about walking and the activities that require walking. Take note that walking is not just for adults. It is also important for children and adolescents. For daddies who are inclined to use fat burners for men, this one’s for you to read, too.

  1. Try to take a walk once a day for about half an hour in your room or around your house, garden or other areas such as school grounds, spaces near the church or the plaza.
  2. Walk to work, market or place of worship rather than use transport.
  3. Start by walking slowly for a few minutes and increase your speed as you go along. Take breathing exercises. They will make you physically and mentally alert.
  4. Take the stairs rather than the elevator.
  5. See what sports facilities your community offers and use them.
