Losing Those 1 1/2 Inches!

Hehehe...

It seems that I am slowly harvesting the fruits of my investment in yoga, rice-less meals, and braces.

Last night, I went to Tet to have my first fitting on the dress I am having her made for my grandparents' golden anniversary, and the dress was so loose on the waist part! Tet was really concerned, and asked for the measurements again to see where she went wrong. After all, she was the one who took my measurements.

She checked the old waist measurement and it read 27 1/2. I knew this was correct because Niko (of Veluz) a week ago also took my stats and he said to me I was a 27 1/2.

When Tet measured my waist again, it was down to 26. Whoah! And I just had braces over the weekend!

I was really delighted to learn this, but my sister was a bit worried that I am losing weight too early. She noted that I have a tendency that when I lose weight, I really get thin and stay that way, until my "fat age" begins.

But then that's another story. Maybe I will keep track of my developments, and will try not to overdo the losing part.

But really, I was happy with the 1 1/2 inches lost. I may not go back to my old 23 waistline and 34 hips (currently a 37), but I will try my best to keep these as close to my old figures as possible... :-D

My First TEST of the Year

Hehehe...

I saw this post of my fellow w@wie friend and I got intrigued....

The test is called: HOW EVIL ARE YOU?

Result:

You Are 34% Evil

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.

How Evil Are You?

Well.... what can I say? Should I be called a MEAN GIRL? :-D

Back from Outer Space

And so i'm back... from outer space... *Singing to the tune of I will Survive*

Ok maybe I'm just having a corny moment, but really, I am back again to my single-me blog to take a breather on wedding preps...

Anyway, some updates...

Weight
I gained more weight. Now I am 105 lbs. and I looked like a blob of fat. Nope, I am not anorexic. I am still thin compared to some people, but geesh... I am fat and bones. No toned muscles whatsoever. 105 lbs may look light and skinny (given that I am 5'3), but when you see me, I have flabby arms and even flabbier thighs. And most depressing of all... I have a huge tummy that people thought I'm pregnant! From a 23 to a 28-29... sigh... really depressing.

Diet & Exercise
Hehehe, in connection with the recent changes in my physique, I have decided to diet and do some exercises, i.e. Badminton with officemates, once a week gym here in our office, and yoga (self and tapes) on weekends. When Enrique was here, we just kept on food tripping and splurging on buffets of various hotels. Aside from this, we regularly had our own crab fests. We just simply couldn't resist the crab fat! But anyway... yup.. diet and exercise for me... as if!

New Job
Oohh! I love my new job! Aside from a higher salary and bigger responsibility (fleet personnel manager, thank you!), I really enjoy my job. I enjoy it too much I have been neglecting my daily chats with fellow brides and newlyweds! Hehehe. But seriously, accepting this new job is really a blessing. I initially wanted to stop working already (Enrique told me he prefers this too), but both Enrique and I decided that I might get bored while he is away and I'm doing nothing. Good choice. Really good choice. :-D


All for now, I gotta run... Dinner with my soon to be Mother-in-Law and I don't want to be late!
