Anniversary Tradition

We recently celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary last 11 January 2012. I am so happy because my mother and mother-in-law are both here to join the celebration.

We didn't have the usual gift giving because it was not the tradition. For one, I am not really fond of receiving gifts although I will be happy and appreciative to receive one. So, my husband is very lucky because he didn't have to worry about the gift nor make himself worried-sick to find an anniversary gift here in Dubai.

The anniversary was celebrated quietly with my immediate family members. We had dinner at Movenpick Hotel in Deira at the nice Wok In restaurant. It is an Asian fusion kind of restaurant and the food was great!

It has become customary for us to dine during our anniversary. Sometimes it costs more than the actual cost of getting a gift for my husband but the time spent with the ones I love is more than any gift I can have.

Food Take-Outs

Oh no! Did I just see the weighing scale register a higher number than the usual? Not again! These take-outs and weekend dinner with friends are making my waistline a little wider. Instead of losing the weight, I have packed more and add the fact that the weather is not very helpful at all. With the cold weather now, sweating out is thrice as hard.

I seriously think I need to have Lipofuze if I want to jump-start my weight loss goal for 2011. It is already the 2nd month of the year and yet, I have not lifted off from what I was supposed to do. I haven't been binging nor eating more than I should. However, the tempting buffet dinners and take-outs were hard to resist. Well, if you're paying $80 per head, then the more I should make the most of that money, right? So I ate...and ate!

I have to really run like crazy now and skip the desserts area if I still want to have dinner with friends. Maybe the next take-out of orders will be more of the veggies and fruits.
