Indoor Fitness Program
Dec 23rd 2009greenbucksThoughts & Urban Living & Visualizations
Hubby said one time that perhaps we might be needing a treadmill (or other fitness equipment like a rowing machine) at home just in case the weather doesn’t permit me to go out and have my morning share of on-again and off-again fitness regimen. He might be right and the presence of one would not excuse me even if I woke up late 😀
I so need to go back to my early morning routine because the cool days haven’t been kind to me and my resolve to be fit: walking up late and doing a bit of tasting those baked goodies I have been baking does not make me a thinner person 🙁
Oh well, after the Christmas season, as we all say. Sigh.

Last month, I blogged about Kraft Eden cheese and the goal to cook 5,000 dishes to top India for the Guinness world record for the most number of dishes cooked.
And they did! 5,845 dishes cooked with cheese, woohoo! So we show the world that we Filipinos are cheesy, huh?
Check the Kraft Eden YUMM Sarap ng Buhay site for some cooking ideas and if you want to contribute a recipe. Mine is the cheesy turon 🙂
Now I am off to read about NC health insurance as a favor for a friend 😉
Oh by the way, do we have FF next Friday?
Big vs Small Retail Stores
Nov 24th 2009greenbucksAround the Metro & Business & Philippines & Thoughts & Urban Living & Visualizations
With these big supermarkets otherwise known as “hypermarket” opening at almost every available space, it is no wonder that small businesses are losing their usual customers.
Where we are staying, a big hypermarket from a big company of malls just opened up. We decided to check it out one time and although we found the usual stuff being sold in their other outlets, it is still a bit reassuring for some that such an outlet exists within a few minutes from where we live. With school children, one does not know when there is an emergency urgency to get something for school to be used the next day.
On the other hand, I feel that the small businesses in the vicinity of this big store, meaning a few minutes ride and drive, are threatened. Good if these have business insurance to back them up in times of need.
I hope these smaller businesses won’t fold up like how I see happening in the rural areas.
Can You Do the Nestle Fitnesse 14 Day Challenge?
Nov 15th 2009greenbucksFood and Dining & Visualizations & Web Contest
With the launching of Nestle Fitnesse 14 Day Challenge, I know a lot of women, and men too, are thinking about joining the bandwagon.
With proper exercise this mean losing 2 pounds within the specified time. To lose belly fat is probably one motivation to continue the program.
Even if my friends and I were not able to sign up with the challenge, I am taking it upon myself to follow the food servings in the program. And who knows, I might do this beyond the 14 day challenge, that is if I can control myself from getting that one last bite (or serving) of whatever is on our dining table.
