Do we need to exercise???

How come some people don't gain weight no matter how much they eat?? I have 2 officemates who are both thin but they can eat two cups of rice in just one sitting (with bread pa on the side). While the rest of us (who are figure conscious and are on the heavier side) eat half a cup of rice or wheat bread only(pigil na pigil pa!). Then after sacrificing myself for not eating yummy (but fatty) foods I am still gaining weight. I noticed that after two weeks of not doing anything (literally upo at higa lang sa house) I'm having a hard time fitting my jeans. So it came into my realization that even if we eat less but we don't exert effort to burn those fats we are really going to gain weight. What's the solution? I decided to attend pilates/yogilates sessions where I used to attend belly dancing last year.

Gym here I come!! Hay... since last week I've been avoiding junk foods and red meat. I started attending pilates (I had my 3rd session this morning) and I plan to attend 3 times a week para mabilis ko makita yung effect (if meron he he). I've to take advantage of my leave and do something good for myself. I noticed that after 3 sessions I felt lighter (not because I lost weight kagad) because of the stretchings that we do at the gym mas nagiging flexible body ko. Grabe naman ksi.. parang tumigas na katawan ko sa tagal ng walang stretching and exercise. I met one lady at the gym who is 64 yrs old but she can do better than me!!! She can touch the floor without folding her knees for quite a long time and I can't do it!! She can do crunches with both legs up continously in 16 counts. I can also do it but I have to stop once in a while and put my legs down (ha ha). Nachallege tuloy ako. Hmm.... kaya ko din yun... more sessions pa and I can put my feet at the back of my neck, you'll see!!! (Di naman daw ako naging exhibitionist :)

Exercise can make us look younger and healthier so I vow to continue pilates even if I go back to work already. Pwede naman kahit saturdays lang. :)
