Have you ever felt that your body has yet to move on from the unwanted inches brought about by the holidays? My childhood friend, Mae thinks these extra figures are taking its toll on her. My mom and her mom are both health conscious housewives and are always active in fitness activities like badminton, gym exercises, zumba, yoga, you name it. With their kids, it's a different story. I can only love Yoga. I love it because it focuses more on meditation and channeling inner zen, but most of all the effort it requires is far less tedious and in a slow, calm pace. I jog with friends but not in a regular basis like most fitness enthusiasts do. And we often reward ourselves with good breakfast food after having what we thought was a good, stinking, calorie-burning sweat. (how convincing huh?)

When we finish jogging like a veteran, we eat like it's the end of the most sacred meal (yes, yes, to me), breakfast.
Reward
My friend Mae exerted effort more than me. She ran marathons and did fun runs too with her mom back when she cared less for sleep. But now that she's gotten so busy with school work (she's a Multimedia Arts student and is soon graduating) and stuff, sleep and some other things (ehem!) are a notch higher in priority. And so in the middle of our dessert on one fine cheat day in Bizu Patisserie, Greenhills she said:
Mae: Gusto ko na pumayat.
*while munching on a slice of Bizu Strawberry Shortcake. She continued..
Mae: Tols! Gusto ko na ulit magjogging.
Me: Oh, eh bakit di ka sumama sa jog nila Ninang Odette tuwing umaga? (Pertaining to her mom, as I sip on a cup of hot Cherry Fireworks tea)
Mae: E di ako nagigising. Tayo na lang kasi magjog sa Park sa likod ng SM.
Me: Sige!
We plotted dates and we compromised. As the conversation rolled up until we head home, she finally said:
Mae: Naku, kailangan ko maghanap ng maraming Jogging Pants nito.
Me: Huh? Bakit? 'Di ba nagshoshorts ka naman pag nagjojog?
Mae: Eh kasi nangangati ako pag nakashort.
Me: Pano? Bakit?
Mae: Ewan ko, nagrarashes, para bang allergic yung legs ko sa jogging.
We both laughed. You tell yourself one thing, a moment later your body will betray you just like that. Well, I say prove your body wrong, tols! :D Mehe. Let's see how these attempts will turn out.
