Thinking Out Loud

My uncle was laughing at me because I know more about electronics than any of the women in the family. I told him that growing up with several men (my dad, my brother who passed away, my uncles and numerous older cousins), that is not surprising anymore.

You see, I grew up with men who didn’t mollycuddle me. They let me learn on my own and I can safely say that it made me smarter than I could probably be. Even learning about electronics and other guy stuff. And I will forever be thankful to them for it.

Almost all my girl friends are interested in the nuphedra review I was telling them about. You see, almost all women I know are into dieting. Even one of my friends who is slim already is not being complacent. She’s already married, so I guess that explains her desire to always be on her ideal weight. She doesn’t want to give her husband a reason to look for another woman. Good! The single ones like me, are interested so as to look and feel good and be ready should the wedding bells toll.

Our cry? No to complacency! We should always be vigilant when it comes to weight issues.

Bingo is one of the favorite pastimes of some of our neighbors. I can hear them from where I am right now, playing bingo. I was told that there are days when the stakes are high and the prizes can go up to thousands of bucks. Yesterday, tv stands were the prizes given away. I was told also that this coming Sunday, LCD TV will be the grand prize. Imagine that! I was joking a few minutes ago, telling my sister that we should probably join. We just might win the grand prize. Who knows!

Bad cholesterol leads to high blood pressure. Both my paternal grandparents are suffering from high blood pressure. When they went for a medical checkup, I accompanied them and was also told by the family doctor to lose weight or end up suffering from high blood pressure like the grandparents. He told me that the best diet pill can do wonders to my body weight and I should just couple it with regular exercise and healthy food so as to avoid sickness due to being overweight.

Do you know why I chose this new theme for my blog? I love the header! I wish I am that sexy! I can’t even wear any fitting clothes because it will accentuate my bulges. Not muscles, body fats! Hehehe

I have been fighting a losing battle with my weight. I think only the best fat burner will have an effect on me. I’ve been exercising, dieting… I guess my aunt’s right after all. It might have something to do with our genes. Most women in our family, at least on the paternal side, are overweight, especially when they are 30 years old and above.

Some of my friends thought I just laze around all day long since I work at home. They didn’t know that I work harder than any of them. If you do consultancy work, bookkeeping and some online jobs, I don’t think lazing around will enter your mind. You always have deadlines to beat. You always have some little thing to take care of. Plus, if you are working at home, you tend to work more because in your mind, that would mean a bigger paycheck.

But, of course, there are days when my mind stops working and my body stops functioning. All I want to do is sleep or go out and have fun. My sister told me that she and her boyfriend are planning to go to Westgate and they are inviting the whole family. I have tons of work to do in the next coming weeks. I know that a day or two of total relaxation will do me a world of good. Might as well go, right?
