This year is a very big year for us. I just feel that there will be a lot of changes for our family this year. Ramil and I started the year with some ‘dietary changes’. Haha! I’ve coerced him into going into some kind of diet. I plan to go back to my weight before I got pregnant with Mateo because we hope circumstances would fall into place and we’d be able to try for another baby late this year. I told Ramil that it’s my requirement before I get pregnant again. I need to prove to myself that I can get my old weight back without using a fat burner. So my game plan is to stay away from rice, bread, pasta, and sugar. Rice, bread, and pasta, I can handle fine. Although I love bread and pasta, I easily steer clear of them most of the time. However, I’ve always been a person whose meal will not be complete without dessert! In fact, I could eat dessert all through out a meal. I used to cut down on all other food except dessert. I used to willingly not eat other food just so I could eat more dessert.

I’m successful in following the diet most of the time. Hehe! Weekends and special occasions are exemptions so I was still able to enjoy Mateo’s birthday cake last week. I find myself still trying to follow the diet plan even during weekends and special occasions though, except for the dessert part. I’m still around 5 lbs. away from my pre-pregnancy weight of 115 lbs but I’m extending it a bit more and trying to go down to 112 lbs. Once I reach that weight, that’s one item off my list of ‘things to accomplish so we can have another baby’.
