My Rocking Cradle

The nearest taste to the real pistachio that I have tasted was pistachio ice cream. And I loved it. But it was only this year (embarassed admission from here) that I got to taste real pistachio nuts. And I love it! And hubby knows that I do so each time he comes home from the Middle [...]

   We have a very convenient gym at the 2nd floor of our apartment building. But I fail to go there as regularly as I can. Hubby thinks my tummy is uncontrollably bloating **LOL** so he surprised me with this equipment last week. When hubby finished assembling the equipment, the kiddoes immediately made it their slide. [...]

On my 6th week pregnancy, I was 51.7kg. The day before I delivered my Baby Dynamo, I weighed 59.8kg. Today, 13 days after I delivered, I am 52.9kg. Yipee!!! But my tummy remains prominent. I still can’t fit into my shorts and jeans. Time to go back to the gym. But when would my gym time [...]

33 weeks today!!! Exercise was not forgotten but was not a priority since my Little Dynamo underwent his laparoscopic surgery to correct his VUR. Travel followed after… from Seoul to HK Disneyland to Manila to Iloilo to Guimaras, back to Manila and now we’re settled here in Cabanatuan… awaiting the arrival of the Baby Dynamo. [...]

The receptionist at the Skinetics Medical Day Spa and Skin Center had a hard time looking for my records when I called them for an appointment…  I had to tell them I only go there once a year. If I’m luckier, it’s twice a year. LOL. I availed of the “Alagang-Buntis” package from Skinetics yesterday. [...]

Running shoes are a necessity in my life! But much as it is embarassing to admit, I wouldn’t know the difference among all these various sports shoes. So, to be on the safe side a pair of basic running shoes is good enough for me. I use my running shoes in the gym, in my [...]

I make no secret of the fact that I still go to the gym even now that I am pregnat. I have written several times in the past that I think my first pregnancy was a glorious one because of exercise. Fortunately, the gym is just on the second floor of our apartment so it is [...]

The past days had been H-U-N-G-E-R for me every hour or so. I eat and eat and eat… Fruits helped… yogurts are a blessing. I have yogurts delivered to my house every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In my post The Not-so-Difficult Changes I aimed not to have any weight increase for the next two months. [...]

As soon as my pregnancy was confirmed, I immediately settled down and searched for my old exercise routines while I was pregnant with my Little Dynamo. I wasn’t too confident then because it was my first pregnancy. But I regularly did some exercises (thanks to Babyfit.com) and… I had 10 glorious months carrying my baby. Absolutely none of the [...]
