Forgot to update my running life. I must say that I am excited to see my running shoes wear off because of frequent use. Since the time I announced my new running passion, my shoes had ran more than 25 kilometers. It became my companion to burn fats and calories.

Anyway, since am almost in love with running, I do it as often as I can. Actually, if my feet would only allow, I will do it everyday.

As a matter of fact last Saturday, I ran the with Kenny Roger's Urbanites, that was the first time I officially joined a marathon. The emotion was unexplainable- so mixed. I was excited and nervous, feared and determined, tired and fulfilled.

I finished the ran for 45 minutes, it was longer than most of the participants as a matter of fact most of the male runners are finished by that time. But that time was so significant for me, as I stepped into the finished line, I step towards a new phase of my life, the dream of having a new lifestyle- a healthy lifestyle.

START

I never thoght I would love running. Being drenched with my own sweat and enjoying every moment with it is something new to me.  I even buy a pair of running shoes, that is almost twice my budget, to better enjoy my new sport. If elegant shoes will bring people to beautiful places, my new pair will help me cut more fats and induce good lifestyle.

To jumpstart my new running career, I will be having my first official run on Saturday night at The Fort. I'll be running with my officemates Mam Suzane, who apparently introduced me to this sport, and Sir Bngski. We've registered for 5k. I am really praying that we can make it. Especially, who lacks trainings. But I think with proper timing, breathing and focus, I will definetly reach my finish line.

FINISH

For many times, I found myself crying while watching the funeral of our late president Cory Aquino. I was moved by the support of the thousands of Filipinos who braved the changing weathers and the long hours of wait just to give gratitude and respect, for the last time, to the icon of Philippine Democracy.

I hope that our mourning will turn into a positive action to protect our Democracy. I hope that this event will be our guiding light in choosing our next leaders. I hope that the legacy of Cory Aquino, his husband Ninoy Aquino and all the unsung heroes of EDSA 1, be continiously kept and taken care of. And most importantly, I hope that this unity will not end tonight.

The death of our beloved president had redinkle the heart of millions of Filipinos who had been sleeping and complacent after the EDSA Revolution.

Let's do our share. Let's start with ourselves. Let's start tonight. Let's rebuild our nation.

My pants are starting to be tight fitting. My tummy is starting to be large again. My weight is adding more pounds. And as days go by, my apetite is starting to be like 4 years ago.

But I need to address this weight management issue scientifically. No more to slimming tea, crash dieting, and on and off dieting. This time, as I have said. its scientific. Experts and medical help will be needed.

THINGS TO DO

First in line is -- ENDOCRYNOLOGIST. I need to know where should I start. I need him to assess my weight problem. What to do and what not to do. I'll schedule a check up not later than Saturday next week.

Next in the list-- GYM. Need to go back to the gym and sweat. Run, bike, lift, swim (if possible). Thank goodness, my gym card will be revived and be freed from cobwebs.

Next-- FRIEND and FAMILY. Please do not tempt me.

Lastly-- MYSELF. Need to focus and be more serious this time. The most difficult part weight loss is motivation, and until now I do not know where to get it. The only thing that am holding to is good health.

FOCUS Jan. FOCUS.
