GRILLED TOMATOES

It's still a rainy Friday and we're still putting off running/walking because of the weather. In the meantime, I'm halfway through my Barre3: 7 Day Body Blast. I have never felt muscle pain in these parts of my body before. My body was so sore last night that I couldn't sleep. But you know what they say, no pain no gain! And gauging from the pain that I have, I hope to get really good results at the end of 7 days. Barre3 is difficult, it looks easy but it is difficult. The exercises are really do-able but it challenges yourself to push farther - mind over body (at least for me). That's why it trains you to have clearer minds and concentrate on the task - and finish the set of exercises. I REALLY REALLY LOVE THAT! Never mind if I'm a walking pain. :) The pain sort of tells me that I did a good job. And if I skip the exercise, I'll be in more pain, so I have to keep moving. The weather is so conducive to sleep. And I feel disappointed that my kids didn'...

I'm putting on one of my favourite recipes: Squash with Long Beans in Coconut Milk. My mom and grandparents never made it when I was a kid but when I came to live in Singapore my co-workers introduced it to me and it has been on my monthly menu very often. It's easy to make and my husband and twins love it too. For those of you who want to try it you can get the recipe here . Another reason why I love this Filipino vegetable recipe is the calorie content. It's so low on calorie (depending on how much you eat of course), and it's high in Vitamin C. Sometimes, I substitute shrimps with pork too. :)I have included here it's nutrition facts, check it out.

More than a year later, I am back! :) A lot of things have happened in the past year and unfortunately I didn't have the time to write about it. Anywhooooo, here I am again, blogging about the usual stuff that interests... well... me! :D Where do I begin? Oh well, I've started Barre3 again! Online. What made me comeback? Well, I've always loved Barre3 and how it targets the entire body. Every workout is a challenge and I love the results. I love how it makes me stronger, physically and mentally. To jumpstart this habit, I've signed up for the 7 Day Body Blast. Now I didn't take any measurements (as I was scared of the numbers), but I have taken a couple of pictures of myself. I'll do my best to finish this program and I can't wait for the results. What made me start all over again? I had a dream the other day of myself and I was fat and unhealthy. No clothes would fit me, and in my dream I had to wear blankets and curtains! Oh my! When I woke up that d...
