Entry 1: Getting My Sexy Back

Are you looking for a non-invasive way to get rid of those fats that just won't go away? After hearing all the hype about the new treatment in town I finally did my first session today. I was at Sexy Solutions today to try 3 of their signature treatments. I was fortunate to have got some sessions at a discount rate from both Deal Grocer and promo from them directly. Here's how it went:

• Lipo Cavitation- breaks down stubborn fat cells with the use of low frequency ultrasound. I used to think my arms were fine but just to find out that fats can be hard as well. This treatment will help break them down. This will take at least 45 minutes to be completed and best done first before the other 2 treatments. Said to improve blood circulation, collagen production and add elasticity to the skin texture. The therapist applied a gel then machine is massaged on the area you wish to be treated. You will feel a warm massaging sensation and a slight ringing/ cricket sound in your ear. (pic from the co. site)
• Cost: Php 12,000/ session/ area- arms and thighs are cost in as one. 
• Multi-Firm-reduces fat with the use of radiofrequency that destroys the fat cells through heat waves. Reshapes the area and the skin is tightened as well. Helps improve the appearance of cellulite and stimulate collagen formation. The therapist applied glycerin oil to help lubricate the area and to lessen the heat. Then you will feel a massaging sensation with heat coming from the applicator. Body temperature to reach 40-42 degrees Celsius to be effective. Treatment will take 30 minutes. 
• Cost: Php 9,000/ session/area-arms and thighs are cost in as one.
• Body Sculpt- treatment that use muscle energy pulse to stimulate muscle contraction needed for toning and shaping the area. Said to improve blood circulation, decrease the size of fat cells, lymphatic drainage and increases metabolism. The treatment is suggested to avoid having bulges and sagging skin once fat is broken down and heated. This is done right after Multi Firm in 30 minutes. You will feel a snapping or tingling sensation on the skin.
• Cost: Php 4,500/session/area- -arms and thighs are cost in as one

I was measured before and after each session to monitor my progress and affectivity of the treatment. Did I lose some inches? I did...0.2 inches on my arms. Though not significant yet because it was my first and fat is still hard and had to be broken down. I would expect a bigger difference on my succeeding session. Though I can feel my arms are tender and tightened. They discourage lifting weights so as not to increase muscles yet. Target to complete my program is before December. A bit pricey on the budget but they are cheaper than other treatment clinics. They offer 50% for clients who availed their treatments via deal grocer. Regular promo is at 35% until Dec 2011. The clinic is very sanitary and the staffs are friendly which make losing weight more relaxing. Crossing my fingers. I hope it works.

Crib- Entry 1

I was happy to hear that my investment appraised it's value at 17% after a year. Today I bought a parking space and by next week it's appraise value will be at 10%. I know this may not be a big deal for someone who is rich and have had so many investments. For me this was a life decision I made for myself. My parents and aunt didn't really support it for whatever reason I don't know. One day I will prove them wrong and they will tell me I made the right decision in getting this (crossing my fingers). I am so excited and can't wait for it be ready for occupancy. I shop for condo fixtures and lightings if I see something I like. Just got the most gorgeous chandelier and I got it for a really good price. Yeyyyy!!!

 

Don't beat yourself up over something that just didn't work out, especially if you know you didn't let go easy and truly gave it your best. #TLS

Life is too short to waste another minute on anyone or anything that doesn't make you happy. BE HAPPY!

Good Meal Option

Given the limited selection of health friendly restaurants with all these easy and fast food chains everywhere. I always end up at Starbucks which is the most convenient one at the ground floor of my office. To eat healthy you need to know every bit you put in your mouth and how they are cooked. Browsing…looking…

Clubhouse (NO)
Tuna Waldorf (NO)
Spam and Cheese Sandwich (NO)
Chicken Pesto Sandwich (YES)

Losing Weight - Take 2

So I got caught up with work crap again for the previous months. Was busy wrapping up things because I  moved to a new work. So here I am settled. Happier with my new job. Enjoying the perks and getting along with everyone. I need to get back on track so I enrolled myself back to a gym. I keep putting this off but this time I will start and never stop. Darn it...when you start to age losing weight is very much harder. Not to mention you are always hungry. So I stopped eating rice totally...well except for Sunday during family dinner. I have been eating out a lot I must admint (will blog about that in the future). Boils down to choosing the right food to put in your mouth I guess.

Will it work this time? I hope...going back to see my Endocrinologist...she definitely made me lose 10 lbs on my first month with her program and I did it in a healthy way. Go go go!

The Kitchen Musical

An Asian musical composed of diversed Asian talents mostly Filipinos. The story revolves around a rich young girl who goes to work at her father's famous restaurant The Avilon after graduating from the culinary school Le Cordon Blue in Paris.

I just watched the premier today in ABS CBN and I am impressed. Good production and great music. It features different menu of dishes which is something new for a tv series. By nature I love food...I love to cook...I love to eat and explore food. This is definitely interesting and a show I will look forward to watch. Well done guys! Thumbs up to the actors, producers and crew! Can't wait for the next episode. Clap! Clap! Clap!
