The view from the top :p

Me and my friends have been 'sober' for a while now, doing all healthy, clean living stuffs. Me, Nerissa, Celeste have been jogging buddies for almost a week now. They have been longer. Norma we don't see much of her lately, she's too busy doing stuffs in preparation for her grand vaca with her boyfie, but its all good, we just tease around and joke about her as much as we can.haha

Celeste convinced me to jog in the wee hours of the morning, and since I hate mornings, I drag about it for weeks, until I gave in. I've realized I gained so much since my BIG holiday and it got me all freaked out, so I finally said 'screw it, I'm gonna try it.'

It took alot of will power for me last Monday to wake up, get fixed up, get ready to walk about 2 km from our subdivision to Lignon hill at 5 in the morning. I was ranting all the way to the jogging venue, I was crazy as hell. And on the way up, 400+m steep hill, I was cursing, whining, ranting. What the hell did I get myself into, and then we see older people already on their way back down, I was more frustrated. haha! Not even half way up, I was screaming 'drag me to hell!' and the funny thing is we all feel the same, Nerissa kept on imagining food! unbelievable! lol, but Celeste is the more eager one among us 3, but she also rants about it.

Both Celeste and me have something to push for, since we found out that were going back to Boracay by March, we were like chanting 'bora bora bora' just so we don't stop and turn and walk the other way. Nerissa has always had issues with her weight, thats why she jogs it off.

We see people, older people we bump into on the way up keeps on laughing about how noisy we were. Its kinda funny.

And were finally up, sweating like hell, feet and legs all sore, and then we sit and then we breathe in the fresh air and were like 'WOW, WE DID IT! HAHA'

The view is amazing, I mean for a Bicolana like me, you don't really appreciate stuffs like that unless you have been gone a long time, but I haven't been gone a long time. We haven't been gone a long time. So when we see tourist ''ogling'' over the view, were like 'ok,enjoy'. But when your up the hill at 5am every morning and nobody else is ''touristy'' on those hours, and your breathless from the jog, and you see the view, with a little fog their, a little fog here, you realize, It really is MAJESTIC.

You gotta love Mayon Volcano and the grand rice field view.

( the view became our antidote. It was really HELL going up, but to be up and see the vast view of amazingness, its kinda worth all the jog up)

Since my first morning jog, the rest of the day became less of a drag to wake up. I eventually became excited to wake up so early and jog. But the ranting, whining on the way up never really changed, every single day, I still make it up! we still make it up. I still sweat like 2 kilos in the morning and it makes me freaking feel good.haha

I started to realize how amazing mornings are.

I started thinking why i hated morning in the first place.

At first, I was like, I have to loose the weight I gained before Boracay. I have to. I had to.

but finally I realized, I'm not really overweight, in fact Im still under my ideal weight, I'm just not use to being heavy, because I've never really been heavy.

I realized that if my goal is to loose weight, I will never get what I want.

What I should achieve is a toned and healthy body.

Clean living and all that crap! LOL

we are now under day 6 week 1 ''Boracay challenge'' and I'm excited! I lost the feeling of drag ( except when walking up the hill, it never really goes away, haha)

and hopefully we don't stop at week 3.
