losing weight is the hardest thing to do

Losing weight is the hardest thing for me to do. During the holidays (christmas and new year) i cant resist those mouth-watering foods especially lechon, the Filipino's all time favorite food. Despite of the cholesterols and extreme calorie content we dont really care because holiday is best time to eat the food that we want like carbonara, menudo, crispy pata, kare-kare, morcon, ham, barbeque, salad, cakes, etc.
I gain 10 lbs of my normal weight and I should say that i'm getting bigger and bigger. I need to keep my self healthy altough i love eating a lot. My friends always tease me and im not happy how they make fun of me.
I need to do something to get back my confidence and make myself happy and proud. I'm taking one step at a time and i can't promise to do it everyday but i'll do my very best to lose weight and bring back the good times of me being sexy. hahahaha. :) Here are some ways on how we could stay healthy.
Do the exercise. it is very important for us to stay healthy and keep our body fit and burn those calories that we take for the day, its not necessary for us to enroll ourselves in a gym because we could still do it at home. by simply walking around, do the dishes, laundry and other house hold chores you're actually burning those fats. you could also do squats and instead of using dumbells you could use a bottle of water that usually weigh 5 lbs and do 3 seta of 15 squats.
Eat healthy. Eating healthy is tricky but of course we have to be sure that we dont only eat what we want but we have to eat what we need. avoid junk foods and sweets. Add more vegies. Even vegetables doesnt taste good we have to make sure that we add vegies to our meal beccause it is rich with beta-carotine and fiber. and fiber will help us to regualte good digestion and healthy body and mind.
Lessen the carbs. There is a wrong notion that avoiding carbs is a good way of losing weight, yeah somehow but avoiding carbs is not right because carbs is our source of energy without it we wont be able to do our task the normal way. it would always be better for us just to lessen the carbs that we take, instead of eating one cup of rice per meal, why dont we cut it into half so our body could easily adjust to the calorie intake that we have little by little.

a gOod Night sleep,

It feels so good to have enough sleep becuase it makes me do the task i need to do without getting naps at all. Sleep refreshes our body and our brain that make us become alert at all times. i only have 3-4 hours of sleep before and become irritated and get tired easily the next day. I cant concentrate on what im doing and attention span falls by the wayside, and the more chances I commit mistakes. When we sleep our brain get a chance to organize and archive memories. But a week ago ive learned to take care of my self by getting enough sleep of of 8-9 hours a day and it makes me feel a lot better, i dont need to worry if i have somethings to do because i could think properly and my mind is all set. These are the things i had to do in order for me to improve our sleep. i dont drink coffee or anything that contains caffeine 3hours before bedtime, i do exercise because it will help me relax my body and i try to make it a habit to sleep on a regular bedtime so my body clock will get use to it. If we get enough sleep everything looks and feels better every morning. There will always be a glow in our face that everyone would notice, trust me that works!

acne.. NEVER agaiN!



Everybody hates acne. Everyone has had to battle acne at one time or another. You just want to hide your face from the public whether you're a teen or an adult if you have acne or put something to cover them up. We should kno whow acne start and how t prevent them to keep our lives with no worries. We should know the remedies we can take to treat and prevent it from our skin wether on face, back and on chest. How can we reduce acne on our delicate skin? Here are some tips based on some articles available on web. Use water-based make-up, it won't clog pores as much as other types. Eye makeup and lipstick are okay, because you don't generally get acne in those areas and use powder blushes and loose powders instead of liquid and dont do facial. You may end up doing more harm than good. Dont press, rub or manipulate your pimples chances are it would spread the bacteria and increase the chances that it could leave a mark on your face or become a scar. Use products that contains benzoyl peroxide once or twice a day. It helps break up the plug of dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil that clogs the pore and forms an acne blemish. Wash properly once or twice a day, using a soap or nonsoap cleanser labeled "mild" or "for sensitive skin". Washing removes oils from the surface of the skin but please dont wash too hard because it may end up drying out or irritate your face. Watch what you eat, Chocolate, greasy foods, nuts, and other foods have not been proven to have anything at all to do with acne but if you notice a correlation between something you eat and your face breaking out, you could try avoiding the offending food to protect your face. Keeping your face clean, eating heathy and having a good lifestyle (no smkoing, no drinking just clean living) will help you keep your face protected with acne.

Here are some tips on how we could keep our skin healthy.

Washing our face often as we can but depends on how expose you are to dirts. We shoud use facial wash that has antibacterial formula that may help us smoothrn our skin and prevent it from hards chemical that may result to damage and irritated skin and take baths twice a day (morning and evening) to avoid exposing your skin immediately to outdoor air and drinks lots of water to get rid of all the toxic in our body. keeping our skin healthy.Ü
