No Rice Challenge

I have noticed that even though I don't eat as much as when I was still breastfeeding,   I don't seem to lose weight or at least lose the spare tire and love handles around my waist.  I've tried exercise and cutting back on snacks and still I am gaining weight. I am having image problem already. So I'm trying to have a "no rice diet".

Lettuce Wrap

Tofu and Mushrooms 

Grilled Chicken with Veggies

I've lasted having just these for lunch for 3 days.  But dinner time is a whole new story.  Hubby always requests for viands and meals that are really good with rice. And he wouldn't eat unless I eat with him. Tsk,  tsk, tsk. I need more self control and more exercise since it will be really challenging to resist rice when you're surrounded by rice eaters.  

30 Day Challenge 2.0

The 30 day Challenge is over about a week ago. I think my sister/ challenger gave up just a few days after setting this challenge. So, I win. But I still went on to continue and finish this challenge. I lost a few inches around my waist. Though I'm still not going to post any pictures of the changes since I still don't like what I see. I don't want to get any rude remarks for something I did (or how I look) that I didn't work on perfectly.  

So I am doing this 30 Day Fitness Challenge again with myHubby. I'll still be doing the same exercise routine with additional running/ cardio exercises. I don't care if he throws in the towel before the end of this challenge. I just want to look good (and be healthy) before my little one turns 2.

Time to put my sneakers on. 

30 Day Challenge: Workout

I have decided to do the following exercises for my 30Day Challenge Workout Routine.

 Jumping Jacks/Star Jump 10 reps x 3 sets x 2-3x/day

Crunches on Exercise Ball 30 reps x 3 sets x  2-3 x/day

Plank 30 secs hold x 3-5 sets x 2-3x/day

Mountain climb 15 reps x 3 sets x 2-3x/day

15 reps x 3 sets x 2-3x/day

Bridging 30 reps x 3 sets x 2-3x/day

We'll see if these exercises are effective in getting that sexy back.

30-Day Challenge

My obsession in getting my pre-preggo body (waistline to be exact) at an instant (without changing my eating habits) is taking a toll on my overall attitude thus creating unnecessary chaos in the house.
My little sister seems to have the same toning-the-body-dilemma. We are currently happy with our current weight. We just want some bulges here and there to disappear. So we decided to have this 30 Day challenge.
All I have is my body weight, floor space and an exercise ball. While she has this close to gym equipments stuff. It is to our liking whether we change food intake or not. As long as nobody will go to regular gym to burn fats. All exercises must be done at home or outdoors (or any place except regular gym). We will compare waist and hip measurements at the end of this 30day challenge. We have kept pictures of ourselves before we start this task. But we wont post it unless there are significant changes seen.
We haven't decided what one would win after this 30 Day Challenge. I guess, just being motivated to exercise, have the bragging rights of "winning" the challenge and getting my"sexy" back is enough reward for me.
Wish me luck
