A few months from now, my mom will be celebrating her 65th birthday. And we’re thinking of a perfect gift for her. We are considering buying her an electric grill since she loves grilled foods. We grew up eating grilled food and vegetables. I remember when we were younger, we used to have grilled fish, grilled pork liver, and grilled eggplant every Sunday for the family’s lunch. Aside from her love for grilled foods, it is also a healthier choice in cooking their food because my mom and dad are not getting any younger. My dad will celebrate his 75th birthday next year. My dad is diabetic and my mom has hypertension and kidney problem, thus, a need for healthier meals is very important. I think an electric grill is really a perfect gift for mom. What do you think?

I am again under medication of Metformin and Provera. My doctor advised me to take Provera for five days for me to be able to have my period. I visited my OB-Gyne last Saturday and told her that I am having a very delayed menstruation. My last period was two months ago. Hoping that I might be pregnant this time, I asked my husband to buy a pregnancy kit. But, it was negative. So, I decided to visit my OB-Gyne for a further check-up. She asked me to have my urine tested to double-check if I am really not pregnant. It was really negative. So, she advised me to take Provera for five days and start taking Metformin again daily. I asked her that I really wanted to get pregnant na because Andre is now 4 years old and I am turning 32 this year. She said that we will work on it. She also asked me to be serious about losing weight because it will help me to get pregnant and won’t require me to take cholesterol supplements when complications occur due to overweight. Haaaay! The problem is my metabolism is too slow, even I eat less carbohydrates and rice. I need to jog na talaga! I hope this time it will work and I hope my PCOS will be treated.

We have stopped going to the gym due to our busy schedule. We don’t have enough time to go to the gym because Abeth always comes home late from office and I also have so many work loads these past weeks. So we decided to buy a stationary bike and a set of dumbbells so that we can still work out at home whenever we wanted. I have maintained my current weight. I am not losing weight and I am not gaining weight either. Hehehe! It’s really a challenge losing weight. How I wish there’s an easier way for me to lose weight fast.
