health and fun as one

It was the 26th of last month when my friends initiated this jogging activity that would last a month. But it formally started 28th. It was the four of us who made an extra effort to wake up four in the morning. At first everything was so wearing, especially the part when you have to get up and prepare yourself when all you want to do is close your eyes and sleep. But due to the desire to drop some weight, everything had became quite easy.

Our venue was an old park with a lot of joggers running every morning, with also a group of oldies doing some sort of an exercise with music. It was actually my first time to jog there and I find the place good enough to run around.

First day was great, it feels good and it actually helped. Though when I got home, all I want to do is eat my breakfast and sleep again. Nonetheless, day 1 was a success.

Fast forward to the next days, it became much harder, not for me but to some of my jogging mates, one of them got sick so she wasn't able to come with us. But it didn't stop me and my other persistent jogging mate who shares the same desire with me of losing extra weight. We still jogged even if it's just the both of us. Actually, I think half of that 9 days it was just the two of us. However, there was that one day when I passed out and throw up after two rounds of running, I don't know what happened that time.

I'm so proud to say that this is the 6th consecutive day of me jogging. It is such an achievement. But counting it all, this would be the 9th. And by far, this is the most fun day among all, imagine aside from jogging, we did picture taking. I sweated and at the same time had fun, and of course had it all captured by a mobile camera.

TODAY:

We actually went their late,the 4am meeting time became 5, and we actually reached there thirty minutes after five, so it wasn't dark anymore unlike the previous days. We started running and stopped to take good pictures.

A refreshing view of the sun set.

The one in the center wearing black is the one who asked favor from  passersby. She asked two old men and a teenager.

I took this picture.

Having some rest and posing at the same time.

This was at the monument of Ramon Magsaysay. The teenager who took this didn't include Magsaysay's head. LOL

This was before we went to the inner circle of the park which we  had a 9-round run.

On our way home, we passed through a fly-over, so we stopped for a pose

And no one will stop this girl, she loves the camera so much. :)

Love this.

Time by time, i'm adapting to this new lifestyle. I can wake up fifteen minutes before four without the help of my alarm clock. I can now control my food intake, especially unhealthy food and softdrinks. The jogging was so much of a help for me, and a realization that it takes so much effort to drop off some extra weight.

Indeed, day 9 was more than a success.

And hopefully, the coming days would be as successful as this is.
