food exchange list

woke up rather late this morning, had to finish the database last night.when i got to the office, everyone was readying up for the wellness seminar downstairs. filled up my coffee mug, grabbed a pen and a notebook then headed off to the training room.after the seminar, RNDs were on hand for the nutritional counseling. so for a walking junk food like me, it seemed like a nightmare which ended up with a happy ending.

so here's a look at my daily FEL guide according to the RND:

* 2 cups green leafy vegetables [the darker the color, the better.hell yeah!]

* 1 cup of vegetable B [from this group i can only take in carrot, mungbean, singkamas, squash & sitao]

* 4 pcs of banana

* a cup of skimmed milk [ay sobrang nagprotesta ako dito!i hate milk.ugh.kaya tumawad ako.so nagkasundo kami na i can still have my tea tapos lagyan ko nalang ng milk.owkeifayn]

* 3.5 cups of rice [a half cup can be exchanged with: 1/2 cup binatog na dadayuhin ko pa sa session road sa baguio because they have the best binatog in da world, 8 pcs soda crackers, 1 pc boiled corn, 3 small pcs pan de sal, 1 cup macaroni/spag.just had herb and garlic pasta for dinner kanina.left over from my comfort food last weekend.bukas na lang ang diet!tse.]

* 4 matchbox-size slices of meat [ito talaga ang kalamidad.matchbox size??pero sabi naman ng RND, you are allowed to eat meat slices that have the same size as your palm.tapos may nag-react from the crowd: 2 inches thick?

* 1 tablespoon cream cheese [i did not see how many bagels i can consume]

* 1 pc chewing gum/bubble gum [wahaha!]

this list is based from my BMI. i am classified as 1st degree obese.so i have to lose 9kls in 18 months.no yo-yo dieters here. and of course para daw maging habit na ang pagkain ng matchbox-size slices of meat.gudlak na lang.

and now for the physical activity part.

i've been planning to jog for the longest time. philrice has a wide compound ideal for jogging, lalo na sa airstrip.but of course, sleep is my passion so until now drawing pa lang ang jogging.jaime has been asking me to join him pero there's this pull of my bed talaga eh.and of course aside from my addiction to sleeping is yung pangloloko sa sarili ko na i have to buy nice running shoes first. so hanggat wala akong nike equalon or adidas supernova, i can delay my jogging muna.yan ang mga stupid justifications ko.hehe.

ims, rache and i are planning to play badminton once the covered court is ok na.so habang wala pa yun,tuloy tuloy lang ang masasayang araw ko. =)
