I’m Spoiled
I knew today is going to be a good day once my husband served me my coffee and cherry turnover. He even let me use his coffee mug coz mine was dirty from the cup of tea that I drank last night.
Because I’ve been following my workout routine to a T which means I have to exercise on the weekends too, I’m rewarded with K Special Dark Chocolate protein shake. Now this is definitely life. I know can rely on my husband on buying me a medical step stool if I ever need it someday. So random, I know!
Sore Yet Energized
Day 3 of my Insanity and Turbo Fire hybrid. Every muscle ache I feel reminds me of why I can never complete a full 9 months hybrid of these programs. If I make it to day 5 I am soooo going to celebrate. If, I can get up to walk of course, Haha. I’m really not complaining though. Seriously, I’m so energized that I’m telling myself to slow down. During workout, I amaze myself at how good I’m doing the moves. I’ve always wondered how even through soreness from Insanity, the more you move the better you feel. When I think I couldn’t possibly do 1 more power jump, I end up doing another set of 8. I’m working this hard so I can shop for that very sexy lingerie, truth be told, Hehe! Most importantly, staying healthy for my children. I want to be alive and healthy to see them get married, have their own children, and to experience a different kind of muscle ache 
. That’s the purpose of my fitness nowadays. Well you know, it wouldn’t hurt to look good in all the cute dresses, shorts, and swimsuits this Summer. BAMM!
March 26th Insanity Fit Test Results
So I’ve decided to start Insanity again. I think I did it for 2 weeks back in January but this exercise is really hard to do with Turbo Fire which is also a hard cardio workout so I stopped it. I’ve been doing just Turbo Fire this March. But for the last week of March, I’m getting back to it again. To help with my motivation, and most importantly, accountability, I’m posting here my Insanity Fit Tests results every two weeks.
I have done so much better in the past but today I told myself not to be a show off and just take it easy. No need to be busting my knees and hips in the first day of getting back to Insanity again. So those numbers are quite humbling. The next Insanity fit Test will be in 2 weeks, with the hybrid of Turbo and Insanity within those 2 weeks, I’m confident I’ll be delivering higher numbers. I CAN DO THIS, AGAIN!!
Meanwhile, what’s your fitness routine?

March 9th Photo-A-Day Challenge: RED
What’s sexier than a pair of red heels? This is definitely one of my favorite pair of shoes. It hurts after a couple of hours for sure but as any women who loves to wear high heels know, it’s all worth it. Or something like that, HAH!

And for vanity’s sake, I took a picture of myself on Thanksgiving Day coz I curled my hair, Haha!
Thursday Night Picture
When my husband got home from school last night he said we were drinking wine. I was like OK, we’ll drink some wine. Then I went on to explain that there’s already a bottle of Chardonnay that’s chilling in the fridge because I unplugged the wine cooler even though I just filled it up with more bottles including the HUGE bottle that he found on sale a few days ago coz he was right that plugging it in all the time will just spike up our electric bill. Breathe! He said to put another one in the fridge to chill so we’ll have two bottles to consume. The already chilled bottle was Chardonnay and the extra bottles I have in the wine cooler are Merlot except the HUGE bottle that he bought. He didn’t want to mix red and white so he said to chill the HUGE Chardonnay instead. I was hesitant coz I was actually saving that for Thanksgiving Day. He was able to convince me to forget that plan.
Red wine with Turkey?
So we were in our room, drinking wine, while watching MTV’s Beavis and Butt-Head. I started getting a buzz after 2 glasses. Yeah, that fast. then I started playing with his cellphone, then we took a picture of us. And that’s what you see right there. My “no makeup” face was already red which matches my red hair, and my eyes showed I was buzzing all over, Haha!
Speaking of red, that Shaun White gum commercial came on and I made a comment of how Shaun’s hair in the packet is red but he’s brunette in the commercial. My husband looked at me and said, “your hair is red but you’re actually brunette". I looked at him, tried to think of a clever comeback but couldn’t. Then he laughed……..
It’s only 7:25pm on a Friday night. I’m waiting for 8pm and have another glass. How about you?
More Cheese Curls For Me!
While working on a fashion post yesterday, I scrolled upon this picture of me from a couple of years ago while saving a picture in a folder. I remembered how I loved this particular outfit that day. Floral smocked top cinched with a wide red patent belt, worn over jeans, with my long beaded cross necklace. I thought I was very stylish. So I decided to post it as my Facebook profile. In the back of my mind, someone is going to say I’m fat. If not to my face, at least talk about me with other people I know. Paranoid much? Nahhh, just keepin’ it real.
When the guys went fishing after dinner, then my daughter fell asleep at about 8:30pm, I planted my behind in the couch, turned the laptop on and opened Facebook. I figured I’d chat it up with a few friends in there. Lo and behold, one friend sent me a message saying in Tagalog:
