To be honest, nothing fun and exciting going on. Pretty much all I've been focusing on for the last two weeks is my run that's coming up - I have a 10K on 2/13, a half marathon in March and another one in June. When I'm at work, I'm surrounded by many coaches who all love to talk about sports, getting fit and improving performance so I'm blessed to have free consults all day long! I'm also glad that they never grow tired of talking about training and running. The hardest part for me right now is my nutrition. I try to get in between 2,000-2,200 cals per day. Any less than that I absolutely have no energy. So some may think, that's great! That I can eat a lot of food. But not so much. It has to be balanced and I can't just eat anything that has calories because it will affect my running. I've also given up fish so I have to make an extra effort to get my protein in. It hasn't been much of a problem, I usually have eggs, cheese, greek yogurt (so high in protein!) and umm, more eggs! =) Another thing I am focusing on is being injury-free. So I'm spending more time stretching, doing strength training and even got a deal on yoga classes so I'm excited! I want to be fit, I want to look strong, feel strong and accomplish my goal of running a good race. Because although I've done many events, I've only done them to finish, with no time in mind. So pray for me friends and family!
An update on an earlier post - I took it off this blog just in case one of my PF's stumble upon my site. I wouldn't want them to misinterpret anything. Thank you though, Jane and Grace for your inputs and suggestions! What I've decided to do is go to the training class that's coming up on Sunday to check it out, get a feel for the program then decide.
TGIF tomorrow!
Oh and just wanted to share a random picture of the twins from Christmas. I found it today as I was going through my files and just love how cute they are!

i wish i could look and be strong too. i'm so busy with Sofia to exercise, i don't have time for a shower most days. i know i could make the time, it's just prioritizing, but sometimes sitting at the computer is all i want to do when i have a few extra minutes.
how come you've given up fish?
wishing you health and strength for your upcoming events. very exciting and you look awesome, by the way.
You have a will power with so many things, it astounds me!
I don't know why I feel like I missed the window of opportunity to make a New Year's resolution... I can resolve to make a change anytime, right? Bleh... I think my milk's drying up, so I don't have the wonderful luxury of BFing to burn cals, so I really need to start exercising, but I'm with Grace...
It's exhausting being a mommy even if they aren't infants anymore! Ron always asks me why I don't get things done when Ian naps or when he's taking care of him, but honestly, I just want some moments to do absolutely NOTHING. Is that a crime?
I'm always impressed by mommies like you guys! Honestly, if I had a kid, I'd get nothing accomplished unless someone watches my child for most of the day. When we would watch the twins for the weekend, I'd sleep when they slept and then just hang out. Next thing we knew, the weekend was over! Though I'm not mom, I've seen just how much work it is to be a stay at home. You two keep up the good work. Your kids are amazing and you guys look great.
Grace, I gave up fish because I mostly eat them fried. Same reason I gave up chicken. I said if we were eating out and there was fish on the menu that's baked/broiled/baked, I'd get it. It's just that most of the time, I like the deep fried, Filipino fish! And from what I've read online, the warm water fish are high in Omega-6, not omega-3 anyway.
Jane, idk about that will power! I'm constantly failing at my goals. HEHE. It's just that, I hated being so unhealthy. Hated the feeling, hated the way I looked. So that's what I remind myself whenever I want to order my old favorite foods: fried chicken, hot wings, chicken nuggets, fries, burger, steak... and the bottles of condiments that came w/ them! =P
