Diet Pills for Women

I didn't know that there are diet pills for women alone. I thought these type of pills can be taken for either men or women in varying doses. But anyways, if you are looking for any diet pills to take it is best to consult a professional that can guide and properly prescribe for you. I have read that diet pills will have different effect for different people. In looking for an effective one, you must do your research, read reviews, and ask the opinion of profession or your health practitioner that know your medical history. I am not a vain person but I am looking at my health because this is my only shield in order for me to live a long life to see my kids grow old and have family of their own in the future. I know all of us want to have an illness-free, disease-free life. So, to those that wanting to live a healthy life, take the way that is best suited for your lifestyle and ask professional help when it comes to taking pills for supplement or anything that goes to your body. Be aware and get knowledge.

I Am So Blessed

Living outside your home country and far from your family and relatives is tough. I know some people think that because we are here abroad we have a good life. Of course I can say that we have a great life because we are able to supply what we need and then some but one thing I can say is that you really have to work hard and do everything in order to get through.

One thing I can complain is that you have to do all the household and taking care of the kids by yourself if your husband is not around. There are times that it can really get stressful especially if you have work outside of the house and you are in school. Juggling everything without giving yourself some time off can really burn you out. When at times I feel like I am overworked I wish I am back in the Philippines where I have someone to watch the kids and I will just go to sleep.

I am very blessed though that I have a husband that always support me. He is a great helper when it comes to household chores. I can rely on him to do house cleaning, cooking and even watching the kids if I want to go out and have some time for myself. Although I do not go out most often because I want us to do family time more often. Hubby is working 5 days a week and once he is at work I am left with the kids, run the household, do family errands during week days and also bring the preschooler to school and back home.

With everything that I say, I complain with, I am very much thankful to God that He always find a way for me to get through everything. I gave birth without a husband at my side and until now I can't imagine how I did it but in God's grace I was fine. Taking care of the family while the husband is away on deployment is tough and still God is good for always being there. So, I can say that despite the tough times that we go through, I am still blessed and there is nothing to complain as long as God is with us.

Wii Fit

I am not a console gamer but I am now thinking of getting a wii so I can play wii fit game on it. I really need something to encourage me to do some workout every day so I will be invigorated. We have a challenge here at home to have at least a flat tummy for the summer. I will be on a disadvantage compare to hubby because I don't have a routine. One thing that really prevent me from getting a wii is that I don't want our girls to grow up so into it. I know how it can be addicted to some kids. I know that it is up to the parents but once you have it in the house they will not stop from asking to play it. Who knows, maybe one of these days we will change our minds.

Personal Care

When me and friends have get together most of the conversation revolves around our daily routine. It could be parenting, being a wife, kids, school, fashion, and even personal care. Some of my friends maintain a certain product for their personal care. They even go to specialty store to get the stuff. For myself I will only go to a certain specialty store for skin care or if I need to get the best acne treatment. For other stuff, our local drug store is the convenient place to go to. Yesterday we went to the mall and we passed by a beauty/cosmetic store. I told my husband I will get inside the store one of this days. I wanted to know what type of beauty products I needed that will be good for my skin. I need recommendation from the expert. It is not too late for me to learn as what my husband said. So, when my schedule is lose then I can go there one of these days.

Loss Weight Battle

Recently, me and my husband did a pact to have a flat stomach when summer comes. I know this will be a challenge. Good thing with him he is in the Army so he always do PT in the morning. He runs a lot and can do a lot of upper and lower body exercises. Even if he don't take weight loss supplements he can still lose weight. He said he need to lose 39 pounds until summer. So far he lost 9 pounds already since we started our deal. In my part, I can't do to much working out or walking since I am always at home with the kids. Although I am trying to do some work out indoor but it still feel lacking without going out and do some walking or jogging. When the weather starts to warm up a little I can bring the kids to the park and do some walking around the oval with them in the stroller. I needed to have a jogging stroller though so it will be easy for me to maneuver around. I hope I can keep with our deal for the summer.

Funny Conversation

One good thing with me and my husband is that we can talk anything. We are making sure that the line of communication between us is always open. Ever since we got married we don't have any fight at all. We don't raise our voices and if we have something to discuss, we are always open to each others idea. We also does funny conversation, may it be in the bedroom, while we're eating or even during some downtime in our household. An example of our funny conversation is what are we going to do when we are already old. I always laugh at him when he will say that he does hope he will not use male enhancement pills when we are old and gray. I just find it amusing. I always reassure him though that I will still love him whatever the situation will be in our future. I believe that having to communicate with our partner or spouse in an open manner can greatly help in strengthening the relationship. We have to also make our days fun and no dull moments if we can talk to them with no holds barred in a good way.

Lack of Sleep

I felt restless this past few days and seem like my energy is draining so quickly. My sleeping time is now shortened because I am trying to keep up with my school work. Despite my effort I am still behind. I now need to remove pimples since my lack of sleep triggers an outbreak. Sometimes I wanted to give up and just delay my studies until the little one is bigger. She is just demanding and like to be with me at all times. She is very clingy to me and don't want to be with other people. I can do my work for school and other online opportunities only at night when they are all asleep. At day time I can do little work but it is also the time that I do household chores. I am hoping that she can outgrow her separation anxiety soon so I can do most of my work at day time rather than at night. I need to get more sleep so I will not be dragging the days and become more energetic.

President's Day Weekend

It's been crazy here in our household for the past days. There were too many going ons that I attended to. The kids got sick then me and hubby caught the virus and now dealing with cough and colds. We are like doggies that sometimes barking synchronously. I am not feeling good but I have to stay strong because the kids needs the caring most. As Moms we don't really have a choice but have to do our responsibilities and obligations to take good care of the kids.

This four-day weekend me and hubby are planning to take it easy and do as much as possible rest and relaxation. It may be hard to follow because we have school work that needed to be done but hopefully we can squeezed in to have more downtime. I can't really remember when was the last time that I have a totally rested mind and body :-) I think I will be able to have it back when the kids are older.

The big sister will be here for a whole week. She don't have school for their mid-winter break. We are planning to go somewhere, maybe sightseeing some place. We need to get out of the house and breath fresh air. I do pray the weather cooperate as well and we can do a family bonding this four-day weekend.

School Update

Me and two of my closest friends here are in school. We are all doing the online classes. They are getting online degree programs in accounting and criminal justice, respectively. On the other hand, I am doing the medical transcription program. My friends just came back to school after many years and they said they are having some tough times adjusting to it specially so that we are full time Moms as well.

As to my school update, I am having a hard time finishing up the sessions because the kids are just so clingy right now that they are not feeling good. I am about two months behind with my expected progress and I really need to double time in order for me to catch up. I think because I am not in a regular quarterly school terms that I have been slacking in the past few weeks. I know what I needed to do and motivation is what I need to focus and finish this program. I am determined to finish this though in September. I am also happy the online degree programs are readily available that we can pursue education even just being at home.

Time to Fill My B-Box

Last year before Christmas my family received the balikbayan box that I sent to them. They received it in less than two months which is what I am really expecting for them to get it. Now I have another box here again that needs to be filled up so I can send it to them before the school year starts in the Philippines. The school year starts in June and I have nephews and nieces who are in school. I am thinking now of sending some school stuffs, clothes and shoes, and other knick-knacks for the kids. My older nephew in college requested nba shirts of her favorite NBA team Lakers. He has been asking me for many years now and I haven't had the chance to get him one. My husband told me I have a lot of opportunity to buy it in the stores every time we go to the mall but I always procrastinate. My best option now is to go online and browse if I can see one that I will like to buy for him. I am hoping by the end of this month I can fill up the box and send it early March.
