Today is Sunday…

And there’s something that I’ve been doing for a long time now on Sundays…

I invite a bunch of good friends and have a cinema afternoon.

Each week one of my friends pick a really good movie and we see it in my 55 in TV!

And of course there are drinks and popcorn…

Today a funny episode occurred!

We made the popcorn and got ready to see the movie… but then a friend of mine went went to the bathroom and fell so hard that we all got up to see what had happened.

Luckily he was perfectly OK.

But when we returned we noticed that the popcorn were missing…

My dog ate the entire package in less than a minute or so…!

I was a bit worried and immediately asked myself: can dogs eat popcorn?

It seems that it’s ok… as long as they have no sugar or salt… and the my crazy group friends including my dog like them just that way!

My Motto This Year

Leave a comment

When I was in my teens, I used to weigh 42 kg or around 92.5 pounds, and that’s why my BMI was completely fine. I enjoyed this state of fitness until my late 20s, then I got my married in my late 30s and got pregnant before 40. I did not foresee any problem until I gave birth to a healthy baby girl who loves to breastfeed every now and then, leaving me hungry all the time!

Maybe if I came across yacon syrup after pregnancy, I would not have had trouble losing weight. I love syrups on my pancakes, on plain bread, and even on my ice cream! Imagine how much sugar is in ordinary syrups and I’m not even the type who counts calories. Where to buy yacon syrup?

I have grown to love eating sweets months after giving birth and a lot of oily foods too. I think you truly become what you eat. Never did I plan on getting fat, but it’s obvious that I’m becoming more and more rotund throughout the years. Of course, I’m well aware that obesity is among the deadliest health issues.

In my case, my undisciplined eating habits were the culprit so I gained some weight and reached 50 kg or around 114.6 pounds. However, I resolved to change this habit before it’s too late, so I searched for an effective diet plan and fitness regimen that fits my lifestyle. I realized that I need to “eat healthy to become healthy” and that should be my motto this year.

Solutions I Discovered to Help Me Lose Weight

Leave a comment

If I have a problem I don’t know the answer to, the first thing that I do is boot up my desktop and hope that Google can address my situation. This is what I did when it came to a point where the pairs of pants I can wear are becoming fewer and fewer each month. Fortunately, I’ve discovered a few ways in which my extra belly fat would be eliminated.

Remove extra fat

Initially, I was looking for foods that will prevent my tummy from getting bigger even without reducing the size of my meal. The funny thing is that I ended up buying a low-fat cookbook. Indeed, this is a great way to start if you are really serious about slimming down.

I didn’t think that a mere cookbook would be enough to make me shed those extra pounds I’ve been in dire need of getting rid of. So I searched the internet and somehow landed on a site mentioning how great saffron extract is for losing weight. For any unknowing individual, it’s normal to ask yourself “does saffron extract work?”, which led me to do a quick research.

I discovered that saffron extract can help relieve depression, but of course this is not helpful for me, since I’m not really the stress-eating kind of person. It is also said to help people who are suffering from baldness, coughs, or asthma, but then again, I don’t have these conditions. The nice fact I learned about saffron extract is how it makes for an effective weight loss solution by reducing cravings.

Craving for the foods you like is something you can’t easily fight, and this is one of my primary issues. But if saffron extract can reduce my cravings, I guess there’s not much I should be hesitant about regarding this kind of product.

My Weight Loss Journey

A lot of people have been trying to lose weight and have better form for so long, but so many of them just keep falling short and giving up. In my opinion, this is because they lack the proper motivation. Think of it this way – instead of focusing on the part that makes you cringe (diets, exercise), why not think about how much better you’ll feel and look when you’ve achieved your goals.

When I made the decision that I wanted to lose weight for my health – and let’s be honest, for my appearance as well – I stumbled upon natural advanced Garcinia Cambogia extract. I’ve been hearing a lot about it but it wasn’t until a friend recommended it to me that I really started learning about it.

I found out that the supplement is actually an Asian fruit used in traditional cooking – both as a spice and as a way for people to feel fuller after a meal. Today, it’s clear that it has fat blocking, appetite suppressant and serotonin regulating properties. All of these contribute to the main goal – losing weight and being to maintain a good and healthy body image.

Personally, I love this supplement. The fact that it is all-natural and doesn’t require me to hit the gym every single day of the week is already a win for me.

I have tried my fair share of weight loss pills in the past, and unlike those, Garcinia has proven to be different and quite enjoyable to use. This is because there are no side effects if you take it properly. It helps decrease the fat in the belly – one of the most common problem areas. It is a great aid for emotional eaters, too, because it increases serotonin levels which in turn result to better, balanced moods.
