I'm seriously thinking about leaving work to be with my little girl. I like my work, how it keep me busy and on my toes plus the pay is good - I get to go shopping whenever I want *wink*wink*
But, my little girl needs me. She needs her mum. Whenever I'm in the house, she would insist that I would feed her, take her to bath, sit besides her and be with mommy all the time.
My SIL who is going for the summer vacay this month lured me into buying jewelries. Jewelries in Saudi are quite cheap compared here in PH. If you will happen to see Batha, the place where they sell jewelries and perfumes, you will be surprised at how they present the jewelries, its like they are just selling screws.
I'm not into jewelries, what I asked her to do is buy me an LV Tivoli PM or Chanel GST bag, unfortunately, the bags I have been eyeing are out of stock. Hays.
However, the pictures she sent me made me think again about jewelries, after all, I haven't bought any for ages. I had her buy me 4 sets of jewelries, 2 Bvlgari, 1 Chanel and 1 Givenchy. I'm super excited to see them next week :)
Also, I happen to bumped into really nice jewelry designs that I would want custom-made along with new sets of wedding rings since ours won't fit anymore so its time to replace them.
I also asked to buy us a 3-pc set of Delsey luggage. Delsey luggage here cost about 5-10K a piece, and she was able to score me a 3-pc set Delsey luggage for no more than 8K. Living in middle east is quite cheap, I remember how she would be surprised everytime we go shopping that my clothes would cost over 1K a piece where she can buy really branded ones for less than 100 pesos during SALE. That is why I appointed her to be my personal shopper, she buys clothes for me there and bring them here during vacay.
I braved trying again the GM diet, after 1 successful and 1 failed attempt the previous years.
Day 1.
I planned to start the diet on Holy Wed, however, I moved it earlier and started last Monday. I had a bad headache the whole day and is not feeling really good.I'm soooo lazy or maybe its becuase of the Holiday mood. I didn't had dinner the previous night. I had Jollibee's chicken and spaghetti for snack and was not feeling the urge to eat by dinner time so I replaced it with TV series time hehe.
So you can just imagine how hungry I am, I had Cantaloupe and Papaya for Breakfast. Black Tea for morning snack and Cantaloupe and Mango Shake (this is a cheat, since I'm not supposed to have this with milk and sweetener but totally forgot that I'm not allowed to) for Lunch. I had Watermelon for afternoon snack, then Cabbage soup for dinner. And boy I was really starving like hell. I had hunger pangs every 15 minutes, my tummy is cursing me.
Day 2.
I had sweet potato for Breakfast. Black coffee before lunch. Stir-fried mixed veggies for Lunch. I grabbed fresh lumpia for afternoon snack and veggie salad. Stir-fried veggies, sweet potato and cabbage soup for Dinner. I'm feeling lighter already, but its not yet registering in the scale.
Migraine is less on Day 2, however, I'm always taking a pee since I consume more than my usual water in take which is usually 2 glasses only.
Day 3.
I had Cantaloupe again for breakfast, watermelon for morning snack plus a couple of sip of black coffee. For lunch I had lumpia veggies and cabbage soup. For afternoon snack, I found grapes in the ref and Watermelon. For Dinner, I had cabbage soup. Day 3 is awesome.
Day 4.
Had milk and banana the whole day, and cabbage soup. Had enough energy to play with the little girl and do some cleaning up. Gosh, I'm so looking forward tomorrow.
Day 5.
I substituted beef for chicken. Had pan-fried chicken and tomatoes. I'm glad I did that because I cheated and went for some chocolates, and pancit hehe. In the evening, I had tomatoes and milk fish (and with rice haha)
Day 6.
We went to Club Manila East, I had chicken and rice for brunch, and a little ice cream, glad the little girl went for my ice cream, saved me from that evil ice cream. Had pancit, siopao and for dinner, I had soup. I'm not sure if these are lesser evil than having the beef. Well, I'm on vacay so I can't really help it....
Day 7.
Today,I'm having fruits and left-over foods. Because I clean the ref and there are lots of left-over foods, so we'll be having them for lunch. That would be chicken and veggies to name a few. I had fruits for breakfast :)
All in all,I think I lost a few pounds, noticeable pounds to say.
I'm planning to be more careful and change my eating habits from now on, injecting veggies, fish and fruits into my diet :)
