Botanical Slimming

I again wasn't able to go to the gym today because my husband is sick. The plan was to get his class certification at school while I workout. We'll just gonna meet each other at the mall after two hours to have our lunch and to find stuff for my online store. However, things changed when he woke up with aching tummy. We just stayed at home the whole day. My three month gym subscription will end next month and just to be honest with you...I haven't shed a single pound. Maybe because I'm not so vigilant in going to the gym at least thrice a week. I feel as if I again failed. We'll, I think there's still hope. One of my college buddies Ruth told me that she had lost 20 pounds by taking a certain type of Botanical Slimming Pills. She let me see her before and after pictures and I was amazed by the transformation. She said she lost that amount of weight in just two months! I will definitely try this and hopefully my next weight reduction story would be as happy as hers.

Intervention

Since our cable has been installed, I've been addicted to watching true to life stories at BIO. One of my most watched program is "Intervention". It is a television series wherein people are being profiled according to their dependence on drugs and alcohol or other compulsive behavior that has brought them to a point of personal crisis. Help is provided through what they call sober coach and hopes to finally help them get out of addiction. One of my favorite episodes is about a 20 year old girl who is a heroine addict. She constantly blames her mother for what happened to her life. She felt as if the one thing that triggered her rebellion that led to drug addiction is when her mom divorced her dad. The girl used to be a cheerleader and an A student during her high school year but since the divorce of her parents…she lived a different life. What’s good about this is that she recognize that she is an addict and realizes that she needs to change her way of life to be able to be free from heroine. She is very cooperative with her sober coach and had only one condition, to not let her mom participate in the healing process. She had so much anger and it is one of the reasons why she can’t move forward in her life. She agreed to get into a program that will require her to be under the supervision of a Northern California drug rehab center. After a couple of months, she was free from her addiction and was able to finally forgive her mother. She is now ready to go back to school and continue with her college education. I really get inspired by those individuals who choose to improve their lives and realizes the value of family. I hope to be able to watch more inspiring stories such as this one.

Books for Healthier Mind

Finally, I was able to celebrate my 5th year in the office and I am now eligible for an early retirement pay. Yahoo! I've been blogging about my retirement for quite sometime now and I can't believe that I finally made it. I can now resign anytime, but I plan to do that on April 2012. I still need to save some money to buy my dream house. My hubby is planning to work as a seaman and if that happens, I can't work in a call center anymore since the work schedule is normally at night. Well whatever happens, God's will be done.

Anyways, since it's my restday today...I've decided to clean up my bookshelves and have found a lot, as in a lot of books I've read before and books my sister left to me before she went abroad to work. I have tons of it and some of those books, I don't intend to read at all. Her taste of books are more of novels and mystery books while I want inspirational and true to life stories one. Good thing, I was able to know an online site called BooksfreeSwap.com. It is an online book swap service that has the recipient pay for the postage. It's like sending out a bunch of books for swap without costing me anything. I would definitely like to swap her books with books that I will surely read. Check on the site for more information on how this swapping service works. Enjoy!
