Just yesterday, GK and some of my officemates made their choice to enroll in a gym. At last, they are now able to do the hardest first step to lose some extra pounds they have. They were given a promise by the gym instructor that they will get the best workout and they would also get a personalized and more advanced type of workout. They can use all the facilities on the gym and a lot of gadgets too to help them monitor their weight loss such as BMI calculator , a digital weighing scale and a high tech body fat calculator.
I know enrolling in a gym would boost their determination to finally live a healthy lifestyle. I myself would like to try it out but I'm still thinking about it. My finances are currently shaky and I need to cut down expenses to make sure I can save at least half of what I earn monthly in preparation for my retirement two years from now. I'm torn between saving and grabbing the chance of finally getting back in shape. I'm thinking of enrolling myself in a gym with a cheaper joining fee, I wish I can find one close to where I live.Will update you on what my decision would be on my next posts.

The Best Workout
Stress Related Sickness
Just recently, we had our APE or Annual Physical Exam. It is one of the requirements of the company to ensure that all of their employees are healthy. I wonder what the normal sickness of call center peeps are. Most likely it would be fatigue, stress and low back pain . We do answer calls almost 8 hours daily and we just sit in our small cubicles at those times so it's just normal that we feel pain on our back for sitting on long hours. I guess most call center professionals also suffer from degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis - all of these are associated with back pains. Insomia and sore throat are second on the list as we work during wee hours of the day and we use our vocal chords most of the time in are taking calls. Some other minor sickness are headache and fever.
I still wasn't able to finish my Physical Exam but I hope everything is well with me. If there is any abnormalities, I hope it would just be minor. I can manage not having so much but I hope and pray God would bless me and everyone in my family with good health.

Determined To Lose Weight
We just had our annual physical exam and as expected - I again was diagnosed with obesity. At 180 pounds and 5 feet in height, I really can't deny the fact that there is indeed a serious risk in my health. I know that having this weight would increase my risk of having diabetes, heart disease and high blood. I know that I need to do some serious change in my lifestyle and I am willing to do what it takes to lose these extra 50 pounds off my weight. I also would like to buy a Herbalife chocolate shake as a food supplement. I guess I need to have all the determination I could get. At the age of 30, I know it would not be easy for me. But I still am willing to do everything to have my life back. I want to wear fashionable clothes again and I want to do things I used to do when I am still at 130 pounds. Will let you know what's going on in these weight reduction scheme of mine. Wish me luck!

My Lazyness and Weight Loss Plan
I don’t know if I can still manage to lose some weight. Lately, I’ve realized how lazy I could get. After my shift, I would come and eat lunch which my hubby prepared for me. I would eat two to three cups of rice and after eating, I would rest for a while, about 30 minutes and would lay down in front of the television while eating my favorite chips. After about two hours, I would go inside our room and would lay down in our couch and read a book which will eat up another thirty minutes of my time and only after that would I sleep in preparation for my night shift. After around six to seven hours or uninterrupted sleep, I would take a shower, eat dinner which by the way was again prepared by my better half. I would then prepare for my shift and will ride a taxi on my way to the office, I prefer riding a cab as compared to riding a bus as the latter would require me to walk for ten minutes before I could reach the office. I don’t know why I feel so tired and lazy all the time, maybe it’s because of the very hot temperature in the metro nowadays. I don’t really have any physical activities so I am putting my fate to the Herbalife supplement I purchased from a friend last week. She told me that Herbalife products are really effective and I believed her immediately as I am a witness on how fast she became slim after drinking those supplements. I know I also need to do my part to lose these extra pounds, I guess I would join my friends in their gym enrollment next week.

For A Healthier Me
We again had postponed our plans of enrolling in a gym. Due to some time constraints and finances as well...we just decided to just postpone it till next month. Anyway, it's still summer and with extremely hot weather like this, I don't think I can manage to go home an hour or two late which is about noon time. Anyway, I once shared my problem with my blogmates before regarding my weight. I would really want to cut down 25 percent of my weight before the year ends. I would like to be healthy for my future baby. One of my readers recommended taking Herbalife products as a food supplement. She told me that since she took about just half of their Nutritional Shake Mix...she was able to lose ten pounds off her weight. She even let me see her old photos through yahoo photo sharing capability and I really can't believe the before and after pictures as it is too good to be true. I would definitely would try this scheme and hopefully before the year ends...I would see a better me.
Sexual Insecurities
Men have been brought up to be competitive. For many, strength and self reliance prove their masculinity and their essence as a man. This attitude also reflects on how they view their own sexuality. Sexual prowess is considered as a sign of manliness. If a man grew up with a very distant father and very protective mother is deprived of developing a healthy self concept. This social insecurity shows when he has to make it with the sexual partner, when he finds out for example that he wife is more aggressive than he is and he's not used to that kind of aggressiveness or this orientation because of his family background. It is not easy for men to go into a sexual situation believing that everything rides on how well he performs. But many men seem to rate themselves according to how they work at sex and believes that relationships suffer because of performance anxiety since making love less of a union and more of a task. I has been observed that most men who experience performance anxiety made love with the fear of not living up to their partners "sexpectations" which are not usually accurate. Make sex an activity that both husband and wife both partake in actively. Try being spontaneous, like going home earlier than usual and staying in bed for the rest of the day. Husbands should read self help articles on how to use sex toys for men. Switch roles during foreplay so both of you can experience giving and being given pleasure during sex.

Herbal Medicine for Weight Lost
In my goal to lose weight, I've been drinking Maggi - a herbal medicine that was recommended to me by my gay friend GK who was able to lose 20 lbs of his weight. Since I started drinking that medicine, I've been having palpitations and dizziness. I was supposed to enroll myself in a gym but I feel that my schedule won't allow me to spare at least an hour for work out as I promise myself to post at least one article a day for my blogs. I know I

Sleep Myths
Myth: You will get sick if you don't get eight hours of sleep each night.
Doctor Says: No amount of sleep fits everyone; individual requirements vary. Some studies show sleeping more than eight hours a day can also be detrimental to your health. For some, five to six hours of sleep may be enough.
Myth: Having poor sleep the night before will make you irritable.
Doctor Says: Most patients can be functional even after a poor night's sleep. It is important not to attribute daily hassles with disturbed sleep. Initiative and motivation may be diminished, but actual performance and alertness may remain intact.
Myth: Insomia is the cause of a chemical imbalance.
Doctor Says: Although this may have a valid contribution, dwelling and worrying about things you can't change will only increase anxiety.
Myth: You can "make up" for lost sleep by napping, sleeping early, or waking up late the next day.
Doctor Says: Varied times of sleep compensation are actually harmful to sleep habits.
Myth: If you try hard enough, you will be able to sleep.
Doctor Says: The more you try, the more anxious you will get, and the more likely you won't be able to sleep.

Bangungot or Nightmare
Medical investigators in China, Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from "acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out the majority of them had eaten noodles as their supper. This was a startling finding.
However it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but dehydration. Imbibing even with few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an
electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water.
It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can't avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water. The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8 hour sleep.
Healthy Way to Lose Weight
I had my shift last night and my friend, Jhay, gave me a shocking news. He said that he was able to watch an evening news and got scared by what he've learned regarding the Chinese slimming medicine I'm taking. He said that the US Food and Drug administration recently warned consumers against patronizing the said fat reduction products as it was laced with health risk . chemicals. He said those taking such kind of drugs are more vulnerable to the risk of stroke and heart attack. To be honest with you, I was shocked as I really
Q&A: ABOUT YOGURT
"Can a yogurt down south ease a yeast infection?"
Yes, yogurt can cure this condition and also help prevent future infections. Some brands of yogurt contain live cultures of certain bacteria also present in the vagina, and these bacteria fight the overgrowth of yeast that causes infection.
Here's what to do: Coat a tampon with plain, unflavored yogurt (make sure the container says it's made with live cultures, insert it into your vagina, then remove immediately. Do this twice daily for four or five days and your V zone should be back to normal.
Green Police
I would really love to attend the annual Glastonbury festival wherein someone will have the chance to see a number of great performing artists in a three day festival. I've learned that this year, celebrities like Jack Johnson, U2 and Emerging Talent Contest early bird winners My Luminaries will be performing this year. Since hundreds of people are expected to join the festival, organizers came up with an idea to have what they
