Thank You Steve!


Farewell Steve, you will be missed.

I cant help but create a simple post for Steve Jobs. He is truly one crazy innovator and always challenging the status quo. He is a genius. A man who thinks differently. 
He disrupted this era with his world changing contributions.

Indeed by year 3000 you will still be remembered as the Thomas Edison of the 21st century. 
Thank you for the inspiration to be different, to be unique.

I will stay hungry, I will stay foolish.

Cheers Steve. We are celebrating your life.

Sweet

excerpt : No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

UPDATE ON 30B430 : No. 6 Lose 20 lbs


Being fit and healthy is a lifestyle change! It is not even  weight loss but more of a weight management and educational training. Welcome to THE RIGHT APPROACH!
This blog is dedicated to all individuals ( including YOU) who already DECIDED to BE HEALTHY :) This blog will contain a lot of information about this program but before that, please allow me to share my personal story.
—–

I have always been known as the chubby girl.  Well, there are times I lost weight but unfortunately  due to tragic “love” reasons. Depressed during those times, my tendency was not to eat and just cry, no wonder I shed the extra pounds in a matter of a week ( record is 10 lbs in 7 days). Then eventually things got better and it’s all sunshine and flowers again *BOOM* I regained the weight, worse I accumulated more pounds than before.
 
I was never insecure or experienced self pity because of my weight but reality bites that there are actually more options if I were thinner – oh please the gorgeous clothes I would want to wear but I terribly cant :_( Sometimes I would still buy small sized blouses to motivate myself but guess what, I was never been able to wear them.
 
I also tried a lot of fad diets- slimming tea, GM diet, 3 day diet, carbo diet, protein diet, blah blah blah – and yesiree  rebound was kinda painful. I promised myself I will never starve again.
You see, I am in love with dancing ever since I was a fetus ( ohhkay I am exaggerating).  I’m a die hard fan of this art,but due to my ridiculous  busy schedule after graduating from college I wasn’t able to dance as much as before so I  spent a big chunk of moolah on gym memberships- Slimmers, Fitness First, Gold’s, even 30.00 peso gyms per hour clubs – but none of it worked for me. Then I realized I was to blame for my failure,  my commitment to wake up freakin early morning to torture my self at the gym was my issue.
I also did some sports – I used to play badminton, run and occasionally entertain my hands with my pink boxing gloves at Elorde’s boxing gym. A few months back I was at the first 30 minutes of my boxing training and I almost collapsed! Blurred vision, panting,oh boy am I getting older?!
Is losing it really that hard? Why some people can painstakingly lose those extra pounds? Why are there sexy bodies flooding the news paper and the television? How come they eat and they never get fat! It’s unfair!!!!
 
Then one day, a good friend of mine told me that probably one of the biggest reasons I stay plum is because I am not DECIDED to get healthier and sexier.. I think it really all starts with desire, then faith and eventually ACTION.
 
I will be walking down the aisle very soon and ever since I saw My Bestfriends Wedding more than a decade ago , I have always imagined the perfect me on my wedding gown, of course with my perfect groom^_^ waiting at the altar  and so  that sparked a desire in me. I WILL LOSE THE EVIL EXTRA POUNDS! I am to blame this I am the only solution.
 
I learned that It is all about Lifestyle change but my main concern was the extra  time – I will never be able to waste time at the gym with my chaotic and hectic schedule. Good thing  found The Right Approach and I was determined to lose weight once, forever! With the program, exercise is encouraged but not necessary ( the best part everrr) when I found out about this I was jumping with glee! I am into the medical field – a nurse- and I was so impressed with the program because It doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients. I don’t have to starve and I will not only lose the extra pounds but it will also help me lower down body and visceral fat. Now that make sense because I have always been skeptical with all those fad pills and I was so thankful to have found a safe way to say bye bye to  my love handles. How? The Right Nutrition, The Right Supplement and The Right Education.
 
So, after a month of being into the program, this is the new me ( look below fellah)  I  lost 8 lbs ( I can hear you say – just 8 lbs?!) but I do not fret because I gained muscle mass  and I lost a layer of visceral fat – that is more important! Look, look! I have never been happy on a weight management program – I don’t have to calculate calories every time I eat, I don’t have to perform boring exercises ( but I am planning to study capoeira, pole dance and get back to dancing in the near future), I can still dine out and I know I can keep the fat away forever :) My medium sized clothes are out again!
 
Now, I enrolled myself to the second month of the program and will continue until  I reach my goal.. I know the finish line  is just around the corner ^_^ Next time, I’ll share more about what I did to lose this significant amount of weight. This does not only make me extra pretty on  my wedding gown but I know it can also help a lot of my friends get back their health and say adios to degenerative diseases like hypertension, diabetes and even fatty liver.
 
Friends, I gained back 5 years of my life :) 
 
I wish you too a healthy life,
Sweet
