Back at the Gym After 7 Years

It has been seven years since I last stepped foot inside a gym. The last time I was at one, it was with Yawyan Alasan and it involved hard-core training that would last two hours per session. I  loved it though and I thrived in it. 

However, things happened and I could no longer make time to attend my Yawyan sessions. Fast forward to now and I have gained over 100lbs much to the chagrin of my family and friends. After much prompting from friends who were seriously worried about my health, one of my best friends finally convinced me to go with her to the gym. 

I was apprehensive if I were to be honest. It has been years. I am extremely heavy now. I know that I need this but at the same time, I didn't know if I could still do it. 

SEVEN YEARS. I have not moved that much in the last 7 years, especially during the pandemic. I barely reach 1,000 steps daily since I work from home and am glued to my desk. 

Thankfully, K dragged me and even paid for this session just to get me to go back. 

See that smile? I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Ignorance is bliss indeed. What I loved about this gym session was the coach who did not try to push too hard. He respected that it had been a long time since I did this. I felt at ease. 

We did a few reps of things I used to do and initially, I thought, "Hey, this is easy." However, I realized hours later that nothing I did was easy because I now felt muscles I didn't know I still had. 

I decided to document my journey to becoming healthier. I know that it will be hard. I have so many things that I need to unlearn and be more disciplined about.

I need to cut down on my sweet drinks.

I need to cut down on my rice. 

I need to cut down on my binge snacks in the middle of the night. 

I need to move more, a lot more.  

I am realistic about this though. It will take me at least 2 years to hit my goal of losing the 100 that I have gained. 5lbs a month sounds easier and working out three times a week feels doable. 

Slowly but surely. In 2 years, I hope this photo above will be the before to a healthier, after photo. 

For those who may want to know, my entire OOTD from head to foot is from SHEIN.

Flexitarian Diet: An Easier Approach to Eating Healthy

Coming up with a wholesome meal plan could be a struggle for both experienced and new cooks alike — especially a healthy one! Scrolling through social media for a recipe worth trying could be mind-numbing. 

Search results for a "healthy meal” would most likely just lead to multiple choices of greens; and a drastic change in diet like this could be intimidating for most. Adapting to a flexitarian diet can be an easier approach.

This is a semi-vegetarian diet that increases the consumption of plant or plant-based foods and beverages, along with smaller meat portions. Veega provides a variety of delicious and protein-rich options such as Veega Meat-Free Nuggets and Veega Meat-Free Burger Patty — dishes that even kids will enjoy. 

This is also perfect for the Lenten season.

The LEGO® Group breaks gender stereotype and encourages girls to ‘Play Unstoppable’

The LEGO Group is proud to launch ‘Play Unstoppable’ in the Philippines, a campaign geared towards inspiring girls to explore and express their creativity without limits. This follows the research commissioned by the toy company revealing that while girls feel increasingly confident to engage in all types of play, they remain held back by society’s ingrained gender stereotypes.

According to the findings, three-quarters (76%) of young girls feel confident in their creativity. However, this declines as they get older with two-thirds reporting they often feel worried to share their ideas. This is compounded by the pressure of perfectionism and anxiety about making mistakes (72%). Even parents agree – 71 percent say girls are more likely to hold back developing their ideas, because of these pressures.

In a mission to break these barriers, the LEGO Group is hosting a series of creativity caravans around Metro Manila throughout the whole month. Girls ages 4 to 15 can participate in immersive play experiences and take home a free brick set at select store locations below:

• Toy Kingdom Megamall: March 9-10, 2024
• Toy Express Makati: March 9-10, 2024
• Toy Kingdom Southmall: March 16-17, 2024
• LEGO Certified Store Alabang Town Center: March 16, 2024

Breeze Through summer with Beauché’s Trio of Products

Summer is always fun. Days are long, nights are short. There’s sunshine all day and it’s a great time to go out, play outdoors and just generally have a good time.

But summer can have some drawbacks. The sun is at its hottest and most intense in summer. Too much sun exposure can cause sunburn, wrinkles, premature aging and even skin cancer. The sun’s UV rays are strongest and most harmful in summer.

There’s also more heat and humidity that yeast and bacteria love. That means there’s a higher risk of catching yeast infections in summer. Summer sweat can also breed odor-causing bacteria.

But don’t let summer scare you. This March Beauché International has launched a bundle of skincare and feminine hygiene products that will provide women with protection, radiance and confidence all summer long and beyond.

Called the Beauché Summer Buddies, the product trio created by the fully-Filipino owned total skin management company founded by Che Toribio De Los Reyes, is designed to address all the potential problems that can come up during summer.

Leading the pack is Beauché Ultimate Sunscreen Protection (SPF50), a lightweight, no whitecast, non-greasy sunscreen. It leaves a silky finish that provides high SPF50 PA+++ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection against skin aging and burning. Packaged in a lightweight, handy pack it can easily fit in a bag or pocket so it’s ready to apply anytime.

It is suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin because it has tea tree oil that controls oil production and niacinamide that soothes and improves skin texture. It won’t clog pores and can be applied liberally on the skin and exposed parts of the body.

To address women’s potential summer problems with yeast and bacterial infections, there’s Beauché Fem Care Revitalizing Intimate Wash. This revitalizing feminine wash keeps the microbiome balanced as it provides gentle, intimate cleansing and protection during periods and in-between. It contains a probiotic Sakura extract that creates an environment for healthy bacteria to grow. Its naturally balanced pH formula makes it safe to use daily and as needed.

Completing the trio is Beauché Serum Deodorant, a whitening Anti-Perspirant that provides 24-hr maximum protection from underarm sweat and odor. It contains Alpaflor® Gigawhite CB, a natural brightener produced from a combination of extracts from seven unique Swiss alpine plants that also reduces skin discoloration, brightens underarms and provides an even skin tone. The unique formula is easily absorbed and leaves underarms feeling dry with up to 24-hour protection.

“Serum Deodorant is the modern, reliable and safe way to neutralize odor without interfering with the body's natural sweat production or the skin’s natural acid barrier,” explained Ms. Kaye Toribio-Danganan, Chief Operating Officer of Beauché International.

“We’ve always looked at Summer as a special time when women feel more self conscious because of health, freshness and confidence concerns. These three things – looking good, feeling good and smelling good – are especially important during summer. This is why we created Summer Buddies, so we can provide women with widely available, affordable solutions for sun protection, freshness, and feminine care.”

Beauché’s Summer Buddies and other Beauché skin care and beauty care products are available at Beauché stores and kiosks in malls and on online shopping sites Shoppee, TikTok and Lazada.

Beauché products are sold locally and internationally.
