  • It's a rest day after yesterday's activities rendered me, um, un-energetic

In support of the Shriners, IHOP had their annual "receive-a-stack-o'-pancakes-for-free" day. I asked my aunt if she wanted to partake in this and before you know it, it turned into an all foodie day. I still had the Groupon for Little Napoli (Yeah, I'm still a little annoyed they did not allow us to use for brunch on Sunday) so we started our day there:
It looks harmless enough... right?

$10 for a 10" pizza with sparse amounts of meat (for me anyways). Let's fill up on carbs via some garlic bread.

Spaghetti with meatball and Italian sausage - I ate probably 3/4 of it.

I ate maybe 1/2 of this beef lasagna.

Then the day continued on with the original foodie intent:
 But the food didn't end there :(... I was spoiled with home-cooked congee with thousand year old egg and fish... and 2 oranges :).

    Hmmm home-cooked congee with thousand year old egg is the best. I hated that stuff as a kid, but I love it now.

    That was quite a foodie adventure you had there. But no worries, my friend changes happen gradually and doesn't hurt to indulge in this stuff every now and then, especially when you're supporting a good cause like Shriners. No point in not enjoying some things in life, just gotta watch out for the portions.

    Man, I'm getting hungry just looking at those pictures.:)

Yesterday's Results The scale reads: 145 lbs. Goal: 137 lbs. The stupid Wal*mart pedometer reads: 3375 steps, 0.852 mi., 140 calories (Lies again - the pedometer reset with my notice) Other aerobic activities: Snoring :( My ma has one. My future mother-in-law has one. According to one website, "Neoprene belt helps shed inches and fat around the waist. Lose weight naturally around the waistline." So far, no offense to them, I haven't seen it work for either one of them. I honestly never worn belts. Even at a slimmer physique, I didn't care or need to wear belts. To this day, I love wearing baggy jeans, but I never sag. My hope is even if I lose weight, I wouldn't need to go purchasing new baggy jeans. What fitness accessories can help (I do know there are no one-stop-cure-alls out there) lose the weight "naturally?" So far I have ankle weights and small weighted gloves.

PALA: Completed

Last Month's Results The scale reads: 145 lbs. Goal: 127 lbs. I can't believe 8 weeks has passed already! Look what I have accomplished within that time: I've earned the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award ! See, I earned myself some golden stars! I could've technically had 7 shiny, golden badges of accomplishment, but I had forgotten to keep track of my steps while I was in Southern CA (The first week of the challenge). I think I actually did more walking during that trip compared to the last 7 weeks of this endeavor. I guess it was silly of me to initiate the challenge before going on the trip. Regardless, I'm content with the results because: I was able to reach my goal. I was dedicated to this endeavor and a positive result came of it. I got the award electronically . I wasn't going to dish out 6 buckos and some change to get the paper one with stickers and a badge. There were many stressful periods during the weeks, but I walked off most of t...
