Saw a friend the other day and I was surprised at how much she lost weight. She talked about her quick weight loss program as well her strict  fitness regimen. Hmmm… it sure is fun to lose weight with buddies it seems.

I used to do morning walks/run two-three times a week but I have lost interest. I only got a play list to accompany me. I see a group of elders who also walk but since I do not know them I did not want to introduce myself to them so I could join them.

I told myself at the beginning of the year that I should step up the yoga that I have started last year but none of that happened. Yet.

At least the family and I do a  once a week walking/running habit. (like its enough huh?)

For now, I need to get up and do something about that slice of chocolate cake hubby and I shared a while ago 😀

Yesterday when I was watching a CNN Video of John King as he toured 50 states and had interaction with a lot of people, he said something that hit home hard: “Economic anxiety is not a theory, it is a way of life for a whole lot of people.”

Yes, I agree and living in a country where a lot of people are living below poverty line, economic anxiety seems to be something one lives with or one that can’t live without.

Someone I know has been dropping hints to me about life insurance quotes when I know this is the last person I know who will venture into something like this.

If we can’t adapt, then we may never learn how to deal with these anxiety and uncertain future.

Dirty air, among others, causes a lot of health problems.

I know because my son is having asthma attacks now and I am suffering from allergy right now, with my eyes all red and itchy too. Achoo! Excuse me.

Asthma season is in I think, since we have been having gray skies for days with drizzles now and then (yeah, I sound like a weather reporter).

A friend has been looking for eczema treatment because her condition has worsened after the holidays and two culprits would be because of the food served during Christmas season plus the pollens floating all around.

Dirty air, go away! Please.

We got a new hard drive for the pc but the pc seems to be not responding to the new hardware.

Hubby reformat the pc and my son was worried his game stats would be removed. Son doesn’t want that since he has worked hard to “beat” Formula 1 drivers in the games he plays. No way these stats would be removed.

Good thing there is online backup for files that we were able to use for the meantime.

Hubby was able to tinker with the pc and son gets to save his stats. Everyone is happy. Yey!

To have a healthy baby is every mother’s wish. A baby’s health condition begins in the womb, where even before conception, a woman is able to take care of herself and be well enough and strong enough to conceive a child.

If a woman wants to conceive a child, then she should consider stopping smoking, drinking alcohol, having proper nutrition and not consider taking substances that tend to be abused.

Upon conception, the mother/would-be mother should take extra care of herself: going regularly to prenatal check-ups, taking lots of rest, eating healthy food, taking in prenatal vitamins, avoiding getting too stressed, basically maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

One time, a friend and I were talking about the different trends in health care. We were baffled that even if modern science and medicine have progressed, there are still a lot of medical issues that still need more research and development.

There are still so many things to give focus to like the common flu and asthma, which is common to children and adults living in urban areas.

Cancer, of course, has claimed a lot of lives. The current scare about A(H1N1) is not something to take lightly. The situation of dengue cases in this country is also one that needs a lot of attention.

So many health issues to be wary about which causes a lot of sleepless nights to us parents who constantly worry about our children’s health.

We discussed how it used to be that when children have fever, this situation is not given a lot of attention. When children (and adults to) have fever these days, we get worried that a more complicated situation will follow.

For now, extra care should be done to avoid getting sick. As one tvc says: “Bawal magkasakit (Avoid getting sick) Why do I feel like my translation is not accurate?

Anyway, best to take extra care always.
