Boxing

After giving birth I have always tried different ways of shedding off some of the excess weight that I've gained when I was pregnant. I've tried starving myself, diet pills and lately I tried boxing.

Getting into boxing was like hitting 2 birds with 1 stone. I get to excercise and at the same time I get to release all the stress with every punch that I release. I feel good after my 2 hour sessions.

Normally, my session would start with warm up excercises and stretching. I like the stretching part. Then I also have abdominal excercises - the killer! I know I need the abs excercises so much but I just can't take the pain. But as my trainer would always tell me "no pain, no gain". Oh my! Do I have a choice?

I haven't boxed for a month now. A change in my lifestyle has prevented me from going to gym and do some punching. Hopefully, when everything settles I can get back to boxing again. But for now Lance is doing the boxing.

Toddler School

I am currently searching over the web and asking around for a toddler school for my little boy. Actually I have been doing it even before he turned 1 year old - quite an early start, huh?
I have talked to Hubby about sending him to play school before but he said it might be too early for him. He was 1 and a half year old at that time so we had to put off the plans when he's a little older. He turned 2 years old last September and judging from his progress (read: antics) he's doing well for his age so I decided not to push through with the toddler school.
However, Hubby said that we might as well send him to school so that he can mingle with boys his age. His playmates are all girls and Hubby is not comfortable with it because he often sees his son holding his playmates' barbie dolls. hahaha
So, the search is still on. By the way last night the little asked me to give him his little back up.
Here's our conversation:
Lance: Mommy, bag please. Yung red. (see he knows his colors)

Me: Why baby?
Lance: School na A-ance. (pointing to his chest)

I guess I'd better make my research right now.

Toys Galore

Hubby and I have a habit of buying toys (plural yan!) during weekends or during mall visits. We are impulsive toy buyers. I know we are on the verge of spoiling him but just like any parent we just cant help it. (hehehe defensive). My son has a huge collection of toys. He's only 2 years old and while looking at 2 big boxes of toys (those in display boxes not included) I was overwhelmed. How am I going to get rid it?
I was talking to Yaya R last night about disposing some of the toys. She said "Sa Jollibee Ate." So I said why not? I instructed her to group the toys into 3 groups, toys in good condition and favorites of the little boy in one group(for keeps), toys in good condition but not so favorites in another (to be given to Jollibee), and the broken ones in another group (to be disposed). I entrusted the grouping to her because she knows what toys the little boy would play more than I do. I just have to check the groups when I get home tonight though
Hope she does this task well so I dont have to regroup it. After the toys I'll look into the cabinets for some old clothes. We need more space and we cant have it unless we start giving away some stuff.

LSS...

Wag kang matakot
Di mo ba alam nandito lang ako
Sa iyong tabi
Di kita pababayaan kailanman
At kung ikaw ay mahulog sa bangin
Ay sasaluhin kita
Wag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa
Kasama mo naman ako
Wag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha
Kasama mo naman ako
Wag kang matakot ah.....
Wag kang matakot
Dahil ang buhay ay walang katapusan
Makapangyarihan Ang pag-ibig na hawak mo sa iyong kamay
Ikaw ang diyosa't hari ng iyong mundo
Matakot sila sa'yo
Wag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa
Kasama mo naman ako
Wag kang matakot umibig ta lumuha
Kasama mo naman ako
Wag kang matakot na magmukang tanga
Kasama mo naman ako
Wag kang matakot sa hindi mo pa makita
Kasama mo naman ako
Wag kang matakot ah......
Wag kang matakot
Dmo ba lam nanadito lang ako
Sa iyong tabi
Di kita pababayaan kailan man
Wag kang matakot
Di kita pababayaan kailan man

I Survived SAHM

Thank God and my sanity is still intact after a week's struggle to be a good SAHM. Although really barely made it - to keep my sanity. I just can't explain why my son would have all the tantrums and requests in the world when I am at home.
I was planning to do a lot of household stuff - you know like a real SAHM, but all those plans flew out of the window. The picture of a good SAHM and a good housewife that I have in mind remained a picture and never really became me. hahaha
I didn't know that staying at home with a 2 year old boy would drive you to the edge. Our day would start with watching Kung Fu Panda and ends with (guess what?!) watching Kung Fu Pandaaaaa! Waaahhh!
I'm still sane while I'm writing this and am preparing myself for another round of Kung Fu Panda watching...
