Flab After Forty: A Late Bloomer's Foray into Fitness

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:24:54 +0800

I wish I’d been a fat kid. When you’re a stick until your 30’s you tend to think you can stuff your face forever and never suffer the consequences. Then suddenly… SURPRISE!!! You’re a HOG.

And there you are… stuck with a comatose metabolism, no discipline or sporty clothes, and oh yes.. one pair of crumbly-soled rubbershoes (who knew they DID that when neglected??).

Anyway, lack of accessories notwithstanding, it was becoming exceedingly clear that I had to ramp up my weight loss efforts.

Hubby got me some new shoes, and I did have a treadmill (which luckily did NOT crumble when neglected) so this meant I could start my new fitness regime in the comfort of my own home - and inappropriate workout clothing.

Typhoon Sendong hit a lot of Southern Philippines with heavy rainfall and took aover 400 lives and counting.

Included in the death count are the parents and sister of my uncle who were caught in a flash flood while trying to escape. So I put this together hoping this manages to be of any help to the cause.

It’s my honest request that Filipinos and others on my dash don’t be content to just pray but to do something of actual help like donate even the smallest amount through text.

Yeah, I don’t care if it annoys you guys, I’m going to keep reblogging this.

Reblogging every 2 hours, methinks. Or every time I see pictures of the devastation on TV.

(via fashions / 12 ways to tie a scarf.)

♥1. Yellow Scarf: Add a corsage to spice up your scarf.
♥2. Pink and Purple Scarf: Use an infinity scarf as a shawl.
♥3. Lime Green Scarf: Fold your scarf in half, put the middle around your neck. Wrap the sides around your neck and back through the loop you made in front of your neck.
♥4. Geometric silk scarf: Add a chain to your smaller scarves with safety pins for a creative chic look.
♥5. Turquoise Tassel Scarf: Tie a loose knot and let your scarf fall like a large necklace.
♥6. Black and White Scarf: Take a chunky scarf and wrap it around your shoulders. Tie a bow.
♥7. Pink Scarf: Wrap a belt around your scarf for a vest-like feel.
♥8. Green Pashmina: Tie two corners of your scarf around your neck. Take the remaining two corners and tie them around your waist for a halter-top effect.
♥9. Coral Scarf: Tie a knot towards the bottom of your scarf.
♥10. Yellow Soft Scarf: Check out this video to see how to braid a scarf.
♥11. Black and White Leopard Scarf: Wrap a scarf around your waist to create a belt.
