I have gained a considerable amount of weight due to a strong dosage of steroids and well, too much eating. I gained around 20 pounds or around 7 kg. Saaad. I still fit most my clothes but I don't feel too comfortable in my clothes and my look anymore. And I'm not a photogenic as I used to be. LOL! I akshully look good IRL now, more than in photos. Or so I choose to believe. Har! Anyhow, the point is... I will try to lose the 20 lbs by February 14, 2011. January is not attainable because I do not want to follow a strict diet during the holiday season. Hehe! As a start, I have already banned myself from eating instant noodles and chichirya or chips. It's a hard thing to do, but I have managed to follow it for around 2 weeks already. I have also lessened my soda and juice intake, and have resorted to drinking lots of ice cold water, which I love anyway. I still drink coffee and milk chocolate though. I plan to reduce my rice intake as well as my intake of other carbohydrates such as bread (OH MY!) and potatoes. I…

No Pork FAIL!
I have already failed for in my No Pork this June diet. I ate Lechon Paksiw during our dinner with Orman last week and I ate grilled liempo when I ate dinner with Dulce last night. FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! As penalty, I will be extending No Pork for two weeks. And I will not eat rice and drink soda for the rest of the month of June beginning tomorrow. Wish me luck! :)
No Pork this June
I am happy to announce after the failure that was no fried chicken in April, I succeeded in having no coffee for may. This June, for my self-discpline exercise / monthly dietary restriction, I will try to avoid pork. For somebody who loves bacon, ham, tocino, pork chops, and many other pork dishes... this will be hard. But I don't think I will struggle too much. I succeeded in eating no rice for a month rice, right? This no pork thing should be a breeze. Wish me luck!
5 Day Diet Challenge
I don't think my body has quite recovered from the epic legend that was the Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2010. It was THREE WHOLE DAYS OF EATING! :-& And as if that's not bad enough for my quest for a sexy body, I spend a lot of time with my blogger friends and cousins who love to eat. Undeniably, I love to eat too. So when they invite to eat maki rolls and frozen yoghurt at 10 pm, I go with them with little protest. And to make things worse, I went to Cebu last weekend. It was a work-related trip peppered with too much eating. I ate tons of Crispy Pata and some Taba ng Talangka among other things. SUE ME! I almost went wild when I saw there was Starbucks and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, but quickly realized I can't have coffee this May. So I drank tons of iced and ice-blended chocolate instead. FAIIIIL! I ATE A LOT! IN A MONTH! BUUUUUUUSHIIIIIIIIT! And I'm about to take another eating tour again. This weekend. In Davao, General Santos, and Lake Sebu. Yes, that's three places. HOLY MOLEY! I'm gonna have a 38 waistline again. NOOOOO! In order…
No Coffee for May
This is a very hard resolution for me to make. But one that I absolutely must do. Ouch! For the month of May, no coffee for me. SAAAD! It's another discpline exercise I'm doing. I was successful for February and March but I failed my no fried chicken exercise in April. So I must, must, muuuust succeed again this month. So, medyo paalam muna to my favorite offices: Kangaroo Coffee Company and Kopi Roti. I might visit you sometimes this month, but I won't be there as much as I do. Wish me luck! :) Latte art by Kangaroo Coffee Company.
Fat Ria
I wasn't always the Diyosa that I am now. And I was inspired by Kuya Andrew to look for old embarrassing photos. We all need to laugh at ourselves sometimes. I usually cringe when I see these photos but what the hell... looking back is so much fun. Here are some photos from years ago... when I had a 38 waistline and scared of the weighing scale. MANAS LOOK FTW! So funny! And it's obvious I lacked the confidence and didn't have the Diyosa attitude I have now. :)
