Do you know that the right amount of beef you should eat in a day should only be half the size of a deck of cards? I didn’t know that although I only cook beef once a week because I don’t have a pressure cooker. I’m always scared it’s gonna blow off and explode in my face. So it takes an hour or two to make that tender. I did read in a Health magazine that you can replace beef with mushrooms. It has protein, it’s a bit chewy and it’s good for you. Of course you have to get the large edible mushrooms. Try it sometime. See if your partner will know the difference.
Afraid of getting old?
When you were 13, you wonder when you can turn 18 so you can do what every teenager can do. Go out late at night, have fun with friends, go on dates. When you’re 18, you can’t wait to see the world and try everything your heart desires. When you’re in your twenties, you then feel there’s more to dating, there are deep heartaches, career choices. When you’re in your thirties, you will wonder where the time has gone. I admit I am afraid of being old. I don’t know about you but getting sick, your body getting payback from all those heart disease causing fried stuff can make me worry. I still think I’m 19 in my mind ha ha but truth is we’re all gonna get there. So enjoy it while you can, time sneaks up on you like a speeding bullet.
Supplement much?
Natural health supplements, or herbal medicines, are plant derivatives acting as active substances in treating medical conditions or for maintaining one’s health in perfect condition. They are considered as foods and not drugs. However, you might need to check the label first of the natural health supplements because you might have low tolerance to some plants that might cause you slight allergies. Just to reiterate, never self-diagnose. Always consult your doctor before taking natural health supplements. Remember that taking natural health supplements is not the key to good health; it should always be coupled with self-discipline, clean environment and a balance diet.

Alright this table was taken from the Mayo Clinic website . I came upon it so you can see what your blood pressure means. I can’t understand blood pressure but I do know that it’s one of my family’s worst sickness nightmare. You can just get a heart attack without warning. I did have high blood pressure when I gave birth but I’m still here blogging so you see I survived after feeling like dying on the hospital bed. 8)
Cavitation Experience
I tried cavitation with radio frequency and muscle toning at Vanity Aesthetics in Mall of Asia. Now I didn’t know what to expect all I know was I’m going to lie down there and stand up with centimeters off my tummy. It was actually fun talking to the nurse who did the thing. It was like having a very noisy massage. It hurt my ears. The ultrafrequency sound like a ringing in your ears may be alright to you but I just can’t handle it. You’re supposed to have 10 sessions to really see a difference but I just tried one. Back to square one.
Bellydance
I read in a forum that Bellydancing has helped her trim off her tummy fats. Interesting, I actually haven’t tried it. I could imagine what my daughter would look like watching me. I thought that required dancing skills. Maybe I should try it and see if it works more than Zumba. So far it’s my favorite exercise so far.
Women’s Health
If you do feel like buying a magazine one day at the grocery store. Buy a Woman’s Health mag. I love Cosmo and all that but in this one, you’ll realize a lot of things about how the right food and nutrition can help save your life. I’m sure we all know it but somehow its hard to do what’s right. I try my best at least. Yup, one day at a time.
Too much chocolates
I don’t know what’s happening. First you get those three giant toblerone bars from the event. After that I got a package with chocolates and cookies and more cookies. What is a dieting girl going to do with this kind of situation lol. I just can’t stop myself, everytime I pass by the fridge I just open it and reach out. Not good at all.
