I'm five months postpartum now and I still haven't regained my pre-pregnancy body. It's not like I'm overweight right now but I still have about 15lbs of the 55lbs I gained during my pregnancy with Amber which I really HAVE to lose! First, because the hubby and I have a bet (which I intend on winning). Second, because as shallow as it sounds, it makes my day when people say "You don't look like you gave birth 3x!" Lol. Plus, I like smirking at the insensitive people who would comment during my pregnancy that it'll be IMPOSSIBLE for me to get my old figure back. Lastly, because I want to be able to wear my old clothes again.
I think I'm trying harder than I previously did postpartum. Since I can't go to the gym even if it's just one floor above our flat, I've been trying to give my lazy arse some kind of workout. Thanks to my husband's VDay present, it doesn't have to be boring.
I played other games like the Boxing in Kinect Sports and all those jumps in Kinect Adventures but I found that since my sweat glands aren't very active, I only break a sweat with the Dance Central.
It's pretty fun and I've got funny pictures and videos of my hubby in action, which I will not post but I'm keeping for blackmail purposes. :p Checkout the IGN's preview of the game.
I'm not much of a dancer and most of the time I do feel that I look silly and stupid doing the steps, but as long as the game detects my movement as right then I really don't care. My goal is to play an hour or so a day while my 3 munchkins take their nap, then rush to the shower and get done before they all wake up. I'm not always successful, though. :)
So far I've been pretty successful in cutting down on my food intake but sadly, I can't say the same when it comes to junk food. :( I really have to eat at least one bag of chips in a day to go to bed content. Like right now, I'm really addicted to V-Cut in sweet chili flavor.
And I can down an entire pack of Loacker Quadratini in one sitting.
Another problem I have is my need for deserts. For the past two months, I've been obsessed with buco pandan which I can finish a whole container of, also in one sitting. And since it's easy to make, we almost always have it in our refrigerator.
Yesterday, the lady who cooks for us came over and I asked her to cook Laing and Sisig (among others) because I've been craving for it. I later realized that it wasn't a good idea at all, so from now on or after I consume them, she will no longer be cooking to satisfy my cravings. I think the only solution to my shallow problem is to stop ordering junk food. (I get my groceries delivered) Problem is, I can't stop because the boys would ask for chips every afternoon for merienda. So maybe I'll just stop ordering my V cut and Loacker. Well that is, if I can.
Hey, I just realized that I miss nonsense blog posts like this. :)
Xoxo,
