Yes! The best appetite suppressant - that's what I need right now!

I can say that my appetite has grown big time ever since I gave birth and started breastfeeding. But now that I'm planning to stop it I need to watch out on what I eat and how much I eat. You see, I can't take not having snacks in between meals. I get hungry all the time!

Although people said that my appetite will change when I stop breastfeeding, I still want to make sure that I won't gain too much again when that time comes!

It's been awhile since I've been tagged. So thanks for this Eds!

Let me share this Irish Blessings’ friendship proverb:

“May there always be work for your hands to do, may your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine on your windowpane, may a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you, may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.”

Now, I'm still thinking if I will go to the mall later to buy some KVM switches or probably will do it tomorrow.

Happiness is...

1. Dinner and coffee with my good friend MM
2. Swimming and family day last Sunday
3. Weather is getting better!
4. Another family getaway soon...
5. Andie's cute little smiles
6. Chocolates from Norway

9. Dancing with the little girl on a great music :)

Yes, I'm still here!

I just couldn't update my blogs because I've been having trouble with my internet connection since Sunday night.

Gosh, I hate GLOBE DSL!

We've only been using this for 2 months and we've been having a whole LOT of problems with our connection.

Aaargh!

Anyway, we are trying to re-apply for our previous account with PLDT. I just hope that the port is still available...

Since it has been 2 months since I last visited my Endo, I decided to go and see her last week.

Well, it didn't go well as I've expected.

My average blood sugar is now 5.4 which used to be only 5.0. I noticed that my endo is always giving me bad news. You see, I've been trying very, very hard to control my sugar intake, but I guess I'm not very successful. I guess it's partly my fault because I've been eating a lot of sugary stuff for the past 3 months. HA! These are the goldilocks treat, bread talk's floss and I recently discovered the egg surprise. Nestle's Belgian Bliss and Selecta's Berry Strawberry. Yum!

So there.

I'm having second opinion. I'm going to see a new Endo a week after next and see if the new endo won't recommend a pre-diabetes maintenance. I'm still breastfeeding so I still can't drink any meds. If I'm at the point that I would need to drink medicine, I would probably buy in bulk or in wholesale so I can get it cheaper.

I realized that even if I vowed to be healthy, I'm not being true to my word because we made almost all our weekends our "junk weekend". No wonder I'm not losing weight anymore that I would need a diet pill just to have my pre-pregnancy weight back.

"Junk Weekend" means McDonald's for snacks on Friday, pizza as our snack on Saturday or Sunday and a take out food for Sunday dinner.

Really, really bad food. Not to mention chips and cake in between meals when we are in the mall.

I have to change this habit. ASAP.

Happiness is...

1. Alex is enjoying summer school!

9. In laws for letting us sleep over because of blackout last weekend
10. Gift of family

I posted a couple of months ago about Ate A and Baby A's four month old photos here. I will share again their photos this time they wore the same bathing suit! You see, Baby A has been wearing Ate A's old clothes and has been using her old stuff too. With this I can compare who is bigger and it's a nice feeling that I don't have to buy too much clothes for Baby A anymore. Except of course on special occasions and when she will outgrow her Ate's old clothes. Check out their photos. Would you believe that Ate A (first photo) is already seven months old here? While Baby A is not even five months old. LOL! But during our check-up last Saturday I found out that when Ate A was 5.5 months old, she was 8.4 kilos which is Baby A's weight now. So, they weigh just the same :) I'm worried about Ate A's weight because she is not gaining that much. I hope she gets to gain more weight soon. On Andie, she is exactly 5 months old today. Check out the updates here.

Aaaargggh.

I can't believe I actually looked forward to summer! I wanted to go the beach. I wanted to smell the summer air, but with the weather this HOT? Oh please no!

I think the hottest of the year (just my opinion) was yesterday. It was very humid and the air was sticky. It made me want to take a bath four times a day. I'm really affected because I work from home and if I turn on the aircon, our Meralco bill would shoot up. LOL!

This is not really helpful. Especially if I'm working like reading tons of stuff about Ferrari parts as my assignment. Or when I do calls for clients.

I'm worried about the kids too. It's a good thing Alex and Andie are pretty adjusted to the hot weather that they can still sleep inspite of it.
