Major Drop in Pounds and Prices

Hey, I finally reached my goal of losing weight down to 145 lbs from an all-time high of 156 lbs. Actually, it fluctuates from 145-148, which is pretty good for me. Unfortunately, I'm in danger of looking scrawny and still have a flabby waist. How gross does that look? I'm not starving myself, anyway. I just eat fruits (fuji apples and crimson seedless grapes), yoghurt or raisins when I'm hungry. Sometimes, I drink grape juice. Hey, it worked for me.

True enough, it's a lifestyle change, and I like it so far. It's just a bit expensive to maintain (for example, non-fat yoghurt costs around P28.00 a cup) but yields dividends. I learned to cover the costs by cutting down on chocolate, junk food (although, I've given up junk food a long-long time ago, except for the occassional kropek), soft drinks and artificial juices.

But I better start going back to weight lifting soon and continue the "slimming" momentum with some aerobic exercise like jogging. Remember the flabby waist? I learned that of all the obvious body flab, they're the last to go. So there's still a lot of work to be done.

I lost the argument.

And because I did, I now have a brand new iPod Video 30GB! Woohoo!

If you remember a few posts back, I said that I could never convince myself that I need an iPod. Ok, so maybe I still don't need it now, but I certainly wanted it when I bought it. One big reason is the BIG DROP IN PRICES of the iPod. I listed the iPod Video 30GB at P18,990 locally. Guess what, it's down to P15,xxx.xx in V-Mall (the former Virra Mall) in Greenhills. If you're lucky (or unlike me, not particular about color) you can get it as low as P14,800.00. That's even cheaper than in the U.S.! So go! Buy now! I've no idea why they dropped prices. There's no explanation except that they've gone crazy.

Meanwhile, I have to go load my CDs in, and download some podcasts...
