The booth says “FREE FITNESS CONSULTATION". I signed myself immediately. They took my weight, body fat etc. etc. By the way I’m 5’4" foot tall, my weight? It’s 123 lbs. The dietitian approached me, told me that I’m already overweight and slightly obese. The sky suddenly fall apart… Oh no! I can’t believe it I’m obese… I know I’m over reacting. But that kind of “O" word is not acceptable for any girl like me.
After few sales talk, about fitness and how it can make a better new you. I enrolled myself in a gym at Slimmers World Marcos Hi-way branch. The first two sessions I have an instructor teaching me how to use the workout machines and some few routines. We agreed to obtain our goal and that’s to loose 8 lbs. and obtain my ideal weight 115 lbs. At first, I was very enthusiastic going to gym, announcing it every now and then at twitter. That was the first 3 weeks. Because of my un-so-predictable schedule at work it deprived me from going to gym.
By the way, I also tried Curves a fitness center exclusively for women located at 2/F Serendra, McKinley Parkway, Bonifacio Global City. The workout is different because it gives you a complete cardio and strength-training workout in just 30 minutes, which makes sure that you burn up 500 calories every time you do the work. Machines are specially built for women, it gets heavier as you go faster and it’s a total workout to enhance all the portions of your body. No treadmill, bicycles and elliptical cardio machines.
Intervals are machine - jog - machine - jog. By the way you can do anything in the jogging platform, you can dance etc. There’s a music and recorded instructor saying when to stop in the machines, cool down and check your heart rate. My colleagues told me I did loose weight after 2 weeks visit and I looked healthier. One month cost around 3000php last first quarter of 2010. But then again, I stopped my membership because my work transferred to Libis.
Aside from involving myself with physical workouts, I also tried other remedies like drinking slimming teas and coffees.
I almost tried all sorts of Slimming Tea sold locally like Kankunis, Kankura and Biguerlai. Well it’s effective when your constipated and you have excess baggage in your tummy. The effect. Once you drink a cup of hot slimming tea, you will feel farting after an hour. There will be an excessive pain and rambling in your stomach. Once you feel all this awful sensation, congratulations! your body wastes are now ready to take of of. Expect the most gruesome solids in the toilet. Although it’s not highly recommended to take it on a daily basis cause you might end up dehydrated. Don’t even dare to drink this before you go to school or office.
The next remedy I tried is, Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee. My aunt recommended me to try it after witnessing drastic weight loss of their neighbor who religiously take it before meals. Unlike slimming teas slimming coffee is an appetite suppressant which means it helps you with your food cravings. I noticed I’m not craving so much. I can’t even finish a cup of rice rather a half rice only. Although its effective, I stopped drinking because I don’t like the taste and the after taste. I bought the white pack. They said the gold one tastes much better.
I’m still on search of finding the best remedy for loosing weight. I realized that I should take it the natural way by having a regular exercise routine and choosing healthy foods to eat. One thing I’ve learned, when your really that eager you have to learn the virtue of DISCIPLINE and I’m lacking this “D" word.
