Gym day

"Your serenity is based on taking responsibility without taking blame, and letting go without giving up."

There goes another meaningful "thought for the day." Acknowledge that whatever happens to you is because of your own actions and words. But just taking the blame merely makes you a victim. Got it. Loud and clear. But what about giving up without letting go? I guess it just means that you don't close your doors on whoever, or whatever it is. Keep yourself open but do not keep attachments! That's the worst thing you can do.

So yesterday I went to the gym after work, and boy, did I need that. I had stuffed myself with empanadas and a big lunch so I really felt like I had to burn the calories. My trainer was so surprised when I launched into the workout so energetically coz usually I'm so tired after work. I was actually surprised myself! I didn't know empanadas could be such awesome energy boosters. I actually try to to go to the gym atleast three times a week, sometimes I forego the usual routine by doing yoga-- which I find challenging and great for relaxation as well. I love capping a great workout by popping in the sauna. I prefer it to the steam room somehow.

I'm really starting to get into this whole wellness lifestyle. I've started cutting down on eating meat, and hopefully I can give it up altogether. I also like eating my greens now. It used to be such a pain but not I like it. It feels good when you've consumed greens instead of the usual heavy carb, oily diet Filipinos are so used to. I cannot imagine going back to eating that kind of stuff. I'm hoping my mom will get a juicer soon so we can prepare fresh fruit juices at home. The downside is that keeping healthy can get a little expensive. I mean, if you want your products to be all organic, just take a look at healthy options, it's not cheap! And I do love getting pampered at the spa too. I live for massages and scrubs. There's this spa place in BF Homes, Rodeo Spa and they have a great menu of services. I like getting the leg scrub and massage. I also get my massages there but for someone who's really good at massages (me!), it's ben difficult to find someone who can go up my standards. So far the best has been my gym trainer. Haha.
