I have been slacking in my work out routine lately and our beach getaway is coming up so I gave myself a challenge after my 41st birthday.
I started last Monday (June 16). Picture below was taken by my daughter after I walked 2 miles and burned 450 calories.
June 17 - Only walked 1.597 miles for 30 minutes. I did some hula hoops and 5 minute planking.
June 18 - I did not walk in the treadmill, I gave my legs a break for one day but I did some crunches and squats and two minute planking.
June 19 - I managed to burned 551 calories in 45 minutes. I told myself that the next day, I would try to up burnt calories to 600.
June 21 - I almost walked in one hour but burned 700 as I promised. Distance walked was 3.218 miles.
I may look skinny at 95 pounds but I can assure you that 5 pounds of my weight is the stubborn belly fats that I have been trying to get rid for years now since I became a Mom.
I am not giving up, I will try and try until I reach my goal of shedding this unwanted fats in my belly. In time.. with hard work and perseverance. It might take till I am in my 70's but I am sure it will happen hahaha.
Above workouts are done in the following notes:

Forgot to take a snapshot of my numbers in the treadmill but I wrote it down in my desk calendar.
June 20 - As I set my goal to 600, I ended up burning 650 cals in 53 minutes. Walked 3 miles this time. I joked when I posted this on FB that maybe I could burn 700 next time.
June 22 - was my rest day. I did not do any walking but we played basketball instead.
Above workouts are done in the following notes:
- 3:0 speed
- Walking only
- 10% grade incline, meaning it is like walking up hill that's why I can't really run. In a flat surface, I could though.
Goal this week is to maintain the same. Hopefully, I could.
Looking good, sis. I do portion diet (1200 calorie/day for 5 days) + 3x a week work-out, so far so good.
ReplyDeleteI do portion diet too, sometimes I cheat though lol.
DeleteThat's great! You look amazing. Keep up the good work. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt looks like you had a good week. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteYes I did, thanks!
DeleteDid you rally say 41st birthday?! You don't even look close to 41! That is amazing. keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteAww you are so sweet, thanks!
DeleteYou look great!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess!
DeleteGood look on your goal!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
DeleteYour doing awesome! Oh and I love the dress you were wearing when your daughter took the pic! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashley. The dress was given to me by a friend..
DeleteWhat belly fat? I can't see any. That's what I've been trying to lose myself as well. Time for me to get walking too.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I have two layers of belly fats, stubborn and unwanted lol. Hard to lose it!!!!
Deleteyou look so fit, Rose. wish you well on your desire to lose those belly fats, haha, that's it, never give up even until you're 70, as long as don't lose the fun in doing it.
ReplyDeleteyou inspired me, I should probably work on that too, as I too have belly fats :) hmmmp!
Hahaha glad you are inspired Ate Beth, mahirap kasi pag nagbuntis na, stretched masyado ang belly kaya it's so hard to shrink it up!
DeleteLooking good sis, sexy na naman. :)
ReplyDeleteSalamat Kuya!
Deletelooking great sis! parang teen lang ang peg....:) I won't go less than 100lbs kc napagkakamalan akong 13 years old...lol!
ReplyDeleteI get that a lot sis, lalo na pag ala akong eye glasses, kala ng mga bata, bata din ako pag naglalalaro kami ng mga anak ko.
Deletekeep motivating yourself sis, sooner you'll eventually get there, just don't overdue the work out as your body wears out easily and also that 5 pounds might be the muscles your building.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I overdo my workouts, if there is the case, it's lacking exercise lol. Yep, I don't lose weight because the fats that I slowly losing is turning into muscles which I am happy, kaya I am motivated.
DeleteYou look fabulous and sexylicious Sis Rose :-) Keep up the amazing job :-) I am jealous :-)
ReplyDeleteWork out with me sis hehehe, thanks!
DeleteGood luck with your workout!
ReplyDeleteTHanks Greta!
DeleteFive minute planking?! Lol. 60 seconds is a feat for me! You look great by the way! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteHahaha I didn't mean 5 minute in one setting. I do 60 secs too but 5 repetitions. I just worded it wrong.
DeleteOh my! You look so svelte already sis. And what belly fats are you talking about? Wait til you see mine! hahaha. I don't see any fats at all. I think you've already achieved your healthy weight.
ReplyDeleteI wish I can do an hour of exercise. I have to work harder though.
It is hidden sis lol, wait till I wear my bikini.... in probably.. never.. lol
DeleteYou look skinny now sis, I wish i have the same energy and motivation as yours. I hate when im exhausted after work even I really want to work out my body just don't wanna do it.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the hard work and you'll see progress in no time.
ReplyDeleteOMG! 95 lbs. ka lang? Inggit much. Curious lang Sis, ano height mo? You really look great! It pays to monitor your progress so you're motivated to really reach your goal.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a great deal of discipline to do what you're doing. Getting back in shape is also my goal now that my son is back in school. I'm inspired to continue what I have started this week because of your post. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKeep going! I've been working out for almost 2 months and I think I'm doing good! :D
ReplyDeleteNo rice, little intake of food and into the gym every afternoon. :)
You look amazing. I need you as my trainer!
ReplyDelete41 and you look great for the beach. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteMommy, I am sure you can do it. Maybe you can also do like a toning or cardio core workout, something like that. Something that focuses on the core area. I have been doing Piloxing, T25, Jillian Michaels workout for a couple of weeks now and I am excited about the result I see on my body. Today was my rest day and tomorrow I will be working again. You are looking fabulous mommy and you definitely make 41 looking sexy. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your fitness goals. I think 700 calories is equivalent to a one hour run.
ReplyDelete40 and looking good!! I hope when I reach my 40's sis I will look good and fit as you.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is inspiring. I hope I can achieve that kind of figure, Ate! :) Will try to do these things! ^_^
ReplyDeleteNow I know why you still look pretty and young mom. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so fit and sexy at your age! You're one big inspiration, Rose. Keep inspiring us.
ReplyDeleteBelated happy birthday! Love and hugs!
