Reality Check

Exercise and diet is a long, slow and sure way to be fit and healthy. Not just any diet, this diet should consist healthy food. I know this for a fact because I have a living example of what this vava-voom combination can do, right friend?

Other may resort to using the best weight loss pills to help make the process of slimming down faster. There are those who’d take other means like dancing, walking, running, or hula-hooping as a fitness routine rather than go to a gym and face machines. And toned down trainers.

I used to be enrolled in Zumba classes during summer. When classes started I found that I didn’t have the time to go back. Still working on my sked but I know in time I will be back. Group dancing is more fun than me dancing alone (like no one is watching) at home because in a group, you’d get embarrassed to sit and rest since everyone’s still dancing. At home when I try to dance, I’d end up sitting and taking a break on every other song in the play list. Duh.

I think I’d be devising a plan for this diet and exercise combination especially now that I will be turning a year older this week.

Reality check.

Aging Gracefully

I don’t know if the “Buy HGH” doctor’s order is acceptable to some people. There are some things that are quite difficult to accept regarding one’s age.

If there is a real fountain of youth, then perhaps people will be at each other’s neck to be able to get to it first.

Aging is inevitable.

Being a teacher dealing with young children (and several tweens), I have to feel young, have a know-how with what’s in and what’s hot. Sometimes it irritates me when people acknowledge me and say “opo” or call me “tita” or worse, “mommy” -> duh, hindi kita anak no?! LOL.

Ho do we age gracefully? Here are a few tips on aging gracefully:

  • Have a positive outlook in life.
  • Surround yourself with loved ones who will not just support you but will accept you and all your little flaws.
  • Be physically fit.
  • Eat healthy food.
  • Be mentally alert by constantly learning new things and re-learning other skills you may have forgotten along the way.
  • Take charge of your life by planning ahead.

There are times when I feel young and vibrant and full of new dreams to conquer. There are also times when I feel old and tired.But when I look at my family, I know there’s so much to live for and I want to live longer while I age gracefull, all for them.

Don’t you want to do that too?
