Thoughts & Beyond

There was still enough food left for dinner tonight that we had to cancel our plans to eat and have dinner at our fave resto. We also have to give time to get more rest for ourselves especially for the lil boy who has been given antibiotics for his cough with fever. Not feeling well myself, I feel like I’ve taken an appetite suppressant of some sort coz am not as hungry and craving for food lately. Plus I seem to easily feel full after just taking a few bites. How I wish I could maintain this appetite regularly so that I won’t often be craving for food. Plus we must consume the food before they spoil as we should think of the people out there who have nothing to eat. I am always thankful we have always enough even more than enough food at times. Thank you Lord!

Just finished with our hula dance bonding with the boys. The lil boy felt like letting his parents dance to hula since we had these leis from the birthday party we attended last Saturday at Woodridge. Even though I think it was not a good idea to dance hula just after having dinner, we gave in to the sick lil boy’s prompting so he’d have fun too. Hubby and I thought doing this might be one of the best fat burning exercise that we can do together here at home. We started sweating immediately and since we still not that well, we had to slow down for now. We can do this again when we are better already. This will be a good and fun exercise which is a family bonding at the same time.

The lil boy is still in his playful and happy mood even though he obviously feel weak from his fever that started yesterday late afternoon. He also sees the hula dance in one of the Barney videos he saw earlier and he saw them wearing leis too similar to the one we have here from that hawaiian-inspired birthday party. Hubby gave up first and we ended up laughing all three of us looking at the photos the lil boy took of us.

A few days ago as hubby and I were in the mall looking for a gift for the daughter of his batchmates’ first birthday, he suddenly noticed there were many preggy women that he saw in the second floor of the mall’s department store. Who wouldn’t notice the baby bumps and I just told him there must be some kind of baby boom and these moms were there to shop or just window shop for baby’s stuff and clothes.

I suddenly remembered my friend who is having her first child after five years of marriage. She has been very careful with this one and has been taking prenatal vitamins as prescribed by her OB-GYN. Look for viatmins which has DHA, folate, calcium and iron. Anyway, this has been their  second try to have a baby so they are extra careful this time around. She has been advised to have more rest, less stress and eat a proper and nutritional diet for her and the baby. I know a few mommies who are also pregnant as of this time. As for me, I’d like to take more time with CT and unless I am sure we’ll have a regular nanny here at home, then maybe we can try but for now, I am happy with just one baby. I would often joke that i actually have two sons already – hubby being the older son and the lil boy as my younger son. Then I would add it is hard to raise two sons you know!

I honestly really need strength now more than ever. I was just reading about this dip station that is what you most probably need when you are thinking about strength and body fitness. I have long been wanting to get back to my old slim shape. I am not getting any younger and much more getting any fitter and so my physical strength has diminished over time especially when I need to lift heavy things and stuff around the house. This fitness equipment looks good. I just wonder if I would persevere using it regularly given I have not much strength anymore to endure such kind of exercise that builds your muscle and most important for me now – burn fat.

I could hear two of our elderly neighbors talking something about this Club Famous as they were standing beyond the gate of the apartment and I could tell they were smoking again. One of them is a veteran smoker and I could say has a knack for telling stories including this story of his collection of cigars given and sent by his children now living in the FL. whom he often tells not to forget to send him those premium ones which are offered at discount prices. I overheard he got lots of it last Christmas and am sure he was and is very happy by the way of his laughter which I could still hear even if I had already gone inside the house. I just hope though their smoke won’t go inside the house through the aircon.
