Because I wanted to see a pretty sky

I felt stifled today, I don’t know why. Maybe the heavy rains of the past weeks had gotten to me so now I want to be out everyday. But I don’t have the car for a week.

So I walked.

Walking in my village.

I started walking from my apartment at past 5 pm. I didn’t care if I still had a pending edit; I just needed to get out.

It was nice to be out today. It’s not hot and it’s not wet. Perfect.

No cars on this road! Perfect for ruminating
Disappointing calorie counter.

Look at that, I walked 6km for an hour and I only get to burn 273kcal??? If I use MapMyWalk by Under Armour almost the same distance is around 375 kcal.

This was in February 2022

So in a way I feel cheated because I should have burned more calories…

But the flipside of this is that this means I need to work harder to burn more calories—I would lose weight faster. 😂 So maybe I’ll stick to the Oppo Band health app.

I have enrolled in my insurance firm’s program that tracks all the healthy activities to gain points. I still have to figure out how the points can be redeemed and what would be the rewards. Like, would it lower my premiums? Let’s see if the insurance can recognize my wearable (the smart watch) and the statistics it is going to feed into my insurance.

So this is now the trend in insurtech: integration of all health data into their platform and incentivize the policy holder to live longer. The healthier a policy holder is, the longer the delay in paying the beneficiaries the benefits. Simple.

As I said several blog entries ago, I need to work on myself so I will live beyond 42 years old. I also need to lose my belly because I need to fit into a dress.

I need to reduce my calories, but the incentive to eat MORE has arrived. 😭

This dang thing is huge. I can cook a whole chicken in this thing. ❤

I’m already planning dishes to cook in this. Tomorrow would be the Filipino menudo for only 10 mins (according to a recipe I found online).

Lalalala! I found a rotisserie (or fake rotisserie) chicken recipe… and beef and broccoli

I’m getting hungry 😆
