The Fitness Program that never was

Before our Pinas vacation I kept babbling about being fit. I bought a pair of skechers shape-ups. I was at the gym 4 times a week. I was in a high-protein, low-fat diet and my weight dramatically decreased. --- Just for a while. Being at home means endless pigouts...sisig, sushi, noodles, puto, barbecue, ube cake, ube ice cream, halo-halo, chicharon, bulalo and well, just look at this shirt with a list of popular pinoy food. :D

Coming back, I stayed home with the kids since it's summer and they are not registered to any kindergarten. Yes, we would occasionally go out for walks in my shape-ups.I planned to do my regular gym work when school started in September. I wasn't able to do so because there are still so many schoolstuff to do. I am also trying to attain citizenship so I'm always on the go.

I've stopped the diet for a while though I still can't help but look at diets around the net. Like mushrooms on a rainy day, diets and strategies to lessen food-intake sprout everyday.

The hCG diet is one of those that has been a hype for many years now. The acronym hCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin). It is a hormone produced during pregnancy by the cells that form the placenta. It is said that the hormone helps in correcting one's metabolism. It is always paired with a low-calorie diet.

The  foods allowed on hcg diet are composed of a well balanced nutrition from fruit, vegetables and meat, fish or poultry. Still, many are not convinced of the hCG, I'm not an expert on this so I may not try but I'd surely go on the gym as soon as schedule permits...bring back my routine and eat healthy. My fitness program for the past month may have gone to waste but it's not too late to start again. As we are often reminded; there is no easy way in keeping an a-ok bod....so I'd be taking it one step at a time.
