Slimmer Healthier Me

Met up with a homeopath for the first time last evening. Got myself some medications for depression. Though I think my depression or moodiness isn’t so serious, much more due to the winter months, but it is good that I get myself in a more balanced state of mind.

I’ve never tried homeopathy before. I do doubt a little but since it is considered safe and has little or no side effects at all, what the heck, I’d give it a go. I’m sure if someone were to give me a bag full of blue diamonds I’d be happy for the rest of my life. But I have to be very lucky indeed to get someone to give me that. At least homeopathy is affordable for me to try.

Well, it all takes time, so we’ll see how good it would make me feel in the coming cold months.

My biological clock is a little haywire. I simply cannot sleep until it is late like 1 -2 am. Well, it would be a problem if I have to wake up at 10 am, but at 6 instead. 4-5 hours of sleep may be enough for some people, but not me. I need a least 8 hours.

I’d usually go online and browse the web. Sometimes I’d watch DIY craft clips – from crochet to glass mosaic tiles crafts – or read articles. I simply couldn’t relax myself enough.

I’ve tried drinking warm milk, squeezing my hands and stiffen my body and let go, get up and do some warm up exercises, but nothing worked so far. Well, I just have to find something that would help me relax somehow. I really do need my beauty sleep.

Women who are trying to conceive are constantly reminded to take care of their own health. Not only because it would be easier to conceive a baby but also because the current state of the mother’s health would play a roll in how healthy the baby would be – whether the baby would get allergies or not, eczema, risk of obesity etc.

We were often told to take folic acid, calcion and iron to prepare our bodies for pregnancy, however we forget that there are other prenatal vitamins that are as important as those three. For more info on the list of vitamins and symptoms of lacking of such vitamins, please visit prenatalvitamin.org.

Vitamin C is said to have the properties to boost collagen production, repairs sun damage and reduce wrinkles and lines on the skin. It has become a popular alternative to botox these days. Some people would get their doctors to inject vitamin c into their skin or some would try vitamin C serum or cream to apply on the skin.

I’ve been trying out a home made DIY vitamin C treatment for my face.  I just bought  Ascorbic Acid powder from the pharmacy and a bottle of ionized water. I just take a pinch of vitamin C powder, mix it one teaspoon of ionized water. With a brush, I apply the mixture all over my face. It would sting. (So be careful on how much of vitamin C powder, wash off immediately if it stings too much) Then I would leave it on until it dries. Once it dries I’d wash my face and apply moisturizing cream with vitamin E.

Just like diet supplements, people would always ask, “do diet pills really work?” . So does this treatment work? Well, I’ve done it 3 times so far and I can see a tremendous change on the texture of my skin. It feels extremely soft, and no more flaky dry skin on my skin. I couldn’t help but to touch my skin all the time. Not sure whether it’s the vitamin C treatment that is working but that is the only different thing that I’ve done. So assume it is working for me. I’m not sure how it would work for others though.

I will continue to do the treatment at least once a week. Hopefully I can eliminate the slight skin discolouration of my skin due to dry skin.

Colon cleansing is not something new. It has been around since ancient times. However, nowadays with colon cleansing supplements being made easy to obtained, it has become quite popular.

Although our body is able to clean itself, this includes the colon or bowel, but to clean it using supplements and pills has its benefits. One of this benefits is to be able to lose weight.

Just like vitamins, and diet pills, there are many brand of colon cleansing products out in the market. So which one that works on the most people who tried it? Good thing that you can always find colon cleanser reviews on the internet. They usually would rate a product according to the effectiveness, safety, other customers feedbacks, price and last but not least the money back guarantee. Though it may take a little time to decide which one you would try, but it is always wise to read reviews and also consult your doctor before you try a colon cleansing product.

I can’t wait for Spring to come and then Summer. So that we can go to the weekend house in the country again. Living in the city, the outdoor activities can be pretty limited, well, if you do not want to inhale pollution that is.

There are a few things that we would like to do when winter ends. For one, it would be nice to do some gardening again. Another thing is going on hikes or cycling. Cycling can be a good family activity and it is safer to do it in the country where there are very few cars.Further, it is indeed one of the many fun ways to burn fat. Only my little daughter has a bicycle at the moment, but we are looking forward to getting a couple of cruiser bikes for adults within a few months time.

In fact I was browsing  jbikes.net and saw some nice looking womens cruiser. I really love one with a basket in front. So classic.

They have quite a collection on their website – cruiser bikes, tandem bikes, mountain bikes, folding bikes, etc. Just name it, chances are they have the bike that you are looking for.

Well, it is indeed something to look forward to!

I was browsing through a catalogue of threadmills – both new and second hand ones. Looking for a good bargain and seeing whether my monthly budget would be able to cover the cost. Well not that they are very expensive like the price of  a VAIO laptop or a blackberry playbook, many in my opinion are at affordable prices which are way cheaper than some handphones even.  The only thing is, I am not working full-time so I still have to be careful with how I spend my money.

I just thought about how nice it would be to run even when it raining or snowing outside.  But the threadmill is still under consideration. We will see.

The past few days I’ve been down with flu. Sometimes it would be so bad that I couldn’t do anything but just stay in bed reading articles, watching youtube videos, review my resume and browse listed jobs. Sometimes I can stay up longer out of bed to manage doing the household chores waiting to be done.

I should have taken more vitamin C knowing that I am more prone to getting sick in these cold months. Going to need to go to the pharmacy later too. Need top up for my meds. Hope to be well soon!

I got a  packet of slim patch as a gift. It’s called ‘Herbalance’. I haven’t tried it yet though, but I’m interested to know how it would work for me. It is said to be made of Chinese herbs. Just like nicotine patches, you need to patch it on your skin and the herbs will be absorbed through the skin. It will help to decrease fat deposit in the body.

Well, I’m not too sure though. Interestingly, it also said that  you need to drink lots of water and exercise regularly. Hmm… people want to use slimming patches so that they can  ‘avoid’ exercising right? LOL If you need to exercise regularly, then what’s the point of using the patch?? Maybe this isn’t actually to decrease fat deposit, but it ’supplement’ our exercise regime. In other words to hasten the fat burning process when you exercise?

Since I got it for free, I will use it and see whether it works for me or not. I’m sure it must work some how if not these slim patches wouldn’t have been in the market for so long. If it works I myself will buy more. Just like finding payday loans, I’m sure it wouldn’t be difficult to find and order it online.

It’s already the second day of the New year. The time sure does go by fast when you are having a good time holidaying with loved ones. Most of us will start work tomorrow.

It is within this week or the next that I will see a psychiatrist. To help diagnose my anxiety and prescribe medications if needed. I’ve been having anxiety for years now but I just didn’t know that it was that. I went to see a psychologist a couple of weeks ago and she pointed out that I may be suffering from anxiety and need to get medications for it.

Although I am not sure how meds will help me deal with the anxiety and help me live a better life, but I sure do hope that it would work for me. That is why I wish the new would bring a new beginning for me personally.

At least that is the first step that I need to take. Well, not exactly… the first thing I need to do now is print address labels for mailboxes here and at my in laws with my name on it. I need to get my health care card for the psychiatrist. It was mailed a long time ago to me but I didn’t get it since no proper label. Hopefully will get it soon.
