I used to be a lazy person when it comes to exercising and doing strenuous activities. I get tired and exhausted easily and I don't really appreciate the feeling of burning sensation in my muscles which we get from working out.
As I age, I feel that my metabolism is slowing down and its effects are becoming much more visible. Body fats, fluffy stomach and such. It really is kinda frustrating especially when you can't wear fit clothes anymore because your big tummy would be so obvious.
Look at me 2 years ago. Lots of people thought that I was preggy when the truth is it's just a food bump! Hahaha 🤣
Last year, I tried to do some basic exercises at home since I want to be confident about myself again and to also prepare for our upcoming travels. It really takes a lot of self-convincing to be able to do it constantly but I believe it's really worth it. Although it really is better to have someone you can exercise with so you could be more motivated.
Aside from playing badminton, I also bought a small dumbell which I use everyday for 2 months in an attempt to tone up my arms since my arms are also fat. And then my boyfriend also asked me to run early in the morning just days before our Cebu trip!
I really wanted to wear swimsuit so I did my best to maintain a healthy diet and exercise constantly 2 months before the trip. I believe I was able to achieve it although there are still some fats left specifically in my tummy area. But it's perfectly fine for me as I do not want to be so skinny anyway. (Mehhh, excuses 🤣)
Cebu trip 2017
Lately, I've been binge eating a lot. My cravings are insane especially whenever I'm stressed or whenever it's the time of the month. I wasn't able to maintain my diet anymore since Papa had his vacation last December and more overly, he switched our rice at home from brown to white! I couldn't help but notice that I'm getting fat again but I'm just not in the right mood yet to exercise.
Just last week, we met again for another badminton game but this time with our new BFF @joninacalara. Hahaha! The more, the merrier! I was so happy because we've been planning this since last month but our schedule was really tight. Good thing we found an opportunity to set our badminton game last weekend. It was fun and more overly, we sweat a lot and we burned those dang calories! 😂
Here are some of our clips taken during our badminton session/girls' bonding.
I promise to start exercising again after this week. Somebody please motivate me. I feel the need to do some vigorous workouts since I get easily tired lately especially when doing simple activities. Oh, is it my body telling me to exercise again? 🤣
Thanks for reading!

I thought you were Indonesian, apparently from the Philippines. I also used to love badminton sport. Sport is easy, but a lot of benefits for health.
Greetings from Indonesia
Do I look like an Indonesian? hehe! indeed, badminton is such a fun sport! Thankyou ❤
Your welcome!
To be honest, exercising is not a easy thing to do. It requires determination.
I use to exercise to keep fit till I fell sick last year December. Since then I've not yet resume back to my daily exercise. Planning to resume back next week
aww so sad to hear about that. I hope you can get back on track next week. our body needs to be exercised even if we dont like it much.
You are right father. It should come with discipline
Nice walk out big sis:)
thankyou :)

I'm frustrated badminton player way back when I was Highschool. But I am good in Table Tennis :)
Ohh I love Tennis too pero hindi yata nya ko love hahaha!
Yeah... Its really good to be doing exercise, it keeps you fit and strong. Although it's not an easy task but it requires consistency. It will get to a time when you will feel like to quit. But you know what, consistency is the key
couldnt agree more! consistency is really the key if you want to see improvements. it's not magic. doing workouts or exercising is really better when you have someone to workout with because you'll feel motivated and you won't quit easily. thanks!
Ibang level na! Road to fitness!
HAHAHA parang tunay e no! exercise na uli ako kasi magttravel na uli ako 🤣🤣

I see you are an engineer! This is also what my trade was for many years. Robotics and automation, continuous improvement. I traded my career for preaching the Gospel in the Philippines and Eastern Asia!
God does not like laziness! One of my faovorite proverbs says, “A little sleep, a little slumber and folding of hands, and poverty will come on you like a thief in the night.”
God bless!
Oh yess. I am an Engineer, Electronics engineer to be exact! How about you? In my line of work before, we are also focused on automations, CI/CD. Your story was amazing!! I couldn't even say that it's a bad choice because it's actually wonderful, that must be your calling ❤thanks for sharing ❤
I'll try to convince myself more. Thank you for the motivation, danda <3 Xoxo
you can do it too sis! mahirap lang talaga hahaha you're most welcome 😘🤣❤
:) hihi! all of u look really nice. u look really good, as in not overweight or too skinny.. in fact, your arms/shoulders look especially strong.. I see most girls are not strong at all in upperbody. I also need to start again with my workouts. We both can do it! (and I don't even blame the rice, white or brown? how about NO RICE?? is that possible for a pinoy?)
ps. and the Nutella shirt!! :P
pps. i'm gonna ask u about ur workouts/diet sometimes to keep u on track. feel free to do the same.. ask me sometimes. game na?
do I look strong? Thankyou 😜 after reviewing for board exam years ago, I got really fat especially because I always eat whenever I'm stressed out. Thankfully, I was abe to lose some fats after constant exercise.
And uhmmm, NO RICE? I can't really promise that I can do that. Pinoy can't live without rice hahaha! Maybe what I can do instead is to just limit the rice intake for the day. We shouldn't punish ourselves just to be fit. 🤣Yes game na!!! ❤
:P ok, ok, .. half rice! and yea.. really look strong! how much u bench?? :P
I know I’m not the only one ~🎶 hahahaha
Hahaha Sabi na nga ba eh, hindi ako nagiisa hahaha! 🤣😂
I need some motivation to exercise as well hahahahah mas malaki pa yung tummy ko kesa sa upper bumps hahahaha
