Show Off Your Shape Nestle Fitnesse 14-Day Program

I have been doing the Nestle Fitnesse 14-day Program for a week now। So far, I can say that I have replaced at least one meal with a Nestle Fitnesse Cereal and on good days I can have two meals with Nestle Fitnesse Cereals।

My family and I recent went to Los Banos, Laguna for my husband's talk in SEARCA about Ex-situ Marine conservation। I was afraid that I won't be able to follow the program since we are out and its not that easy to bring your own food while traveling. So far, for those two days we were out of town I was able to keep my breakfast as per the recommended meal of the Fitness Program.

So here are the dishes I have prepared for myself from February 21 to 26, 2011

Day 2 of the Nestle Fitnesse 14-Day Program

Day 3 of the Nestle Fitnesse 14-Day Program

Day 4 of the Nestle Fitnesse 14-Day Program

Day 5 of the Nestle Fitnesse 14-Day Program

Day 6 of the Nestle Fitnesse 14-Day Program

My observation while doing this 14-day Fitnesse Program is that I actually eat frequently than before but in small portions. Let's say for example, I ate breakfast at 8am then I have to eat like a slice of pineapple by 10:30 am and then eat a rice meal by lunch time. By 3 pm I'm hungry again so I eat mirienda. I bought Digestives from my trip to Cebu which is one way for me to get my chocolate fix and still eat healthy mirienda. By 6:30 pm I am usually eating my second Nestle Fitnesse Meal or if not I have a rice meal. This depends of course where I am at the moment.

One major benefit I can say is that I do not feel bloated by the end of the day and I can fit easily inside my pants. I can actually say that I can see the difference in my stomach. I am actually wearing my maong shorts which I had since college. I haven't worn this shorts for a long time since I cannot breathe inside it anymore. So for me to be writing this piece, perform my daily chores and actually go out later still wearing it that means that I am actually breathing inside this thing which means that's a good thing. After doing my piece for Nestle, next week I will make a feature of canned fruits and healthy in-between-food I ate while doing the program and for sure Digestives will be there.

So till my next blog...

See yah!

Day 1 of Show Off Your Shape 14-Day Nestle Fitnesse Challenge

Today my husband and I went to Parco Supermarket to buy our groceries. The first thing we noticed are the pre-packaged promotions from Nestle products and an ongoing contest for laptops.

What's convenient about the Nestle pre-packaged promotions is that first, you can get freebies from these promos. For buying a large pack of Milo one can get a bag. The bag was timely because my child needed a bigger bag to store his beyblades. I also bought two more boxes of the Nestle Fitnesse Cereals to complete my 14-day Fitnesse Program. For every box of 330 grams of Nestle Fitnesse Cereals there is a free 250 ml Nestle Low Fat Milk to which I am enjoying right now in this very hot day. Finally for every two liters of Nestle Low Fat Milk there is a free can of Nescafe Mocha. To top it all Parco allows a minimum charge of P100 for credit card payments so we were able to have several receipts to join Nestle's Win A Laptop Promo. All in all we were able to get 6 receipts all with a minimum purchase of P100 Nestle products which un turn gives us 6 entries for the Nestle's Win A Laptop Promo.




After paying for our groceries, I noticed that Nestle's booth opened where there is a registered dietitian giving us information about Nestle's choosewellness program. Our dietitian today is named Mark Cyrill. He talked to us about MOVABA or MOderation VAriety and BAlance.


Anyway, according to our Nestle choosewellness dietitian my Body Mass Index and blood pressure is at range but placed me at medium risk because of my lifestyle which is attributed to not eating breakfast and sleeping less than 7 hours a day. Still I was in a pretty good shape. My goal for doing thsi 14-day Fitness program is to have a weight of 110 pounds. I am currently at 112 pounds.


So for today two of my meals is replaced by a Nestle Cereal meal which consisted of 1 bowl of Nestle Fitnesse Cereals, 1 sliced of Dole pineapple in syrup and 1 glass of Sun Tropics orange-mango juice. So far I have eaten 1 matchbox size chicken, undetermined amount of Grower's peanuts and 1 250 ml Nestle low-fat milk.
Watch out for Day 2 of Show Off Your Shape 14-Day Nestle Fitnesse Challenge...

Show off Your Shape, Nestle Fitnesse 14-Day Program: A Chronicle

Early this year, I received a box of Nestle's Fitnesse Cereals. The first thing that popped in my head was "Does this program actually work?". With all the binging and pig-out-moments I had since November 2010 until early quarter of 2011 this year (gosh the party just never ends) I wonder if this 14-day Program of Nestle can actually help me.

Honestly early last year, I received the same box. But I didn't really pay attention then because my metabolism was high and it felt like fats weren't just produced by my body. But now that I'm almost turning thirty, I recently hear comments like "tumataba ka ata" or "your gaining cheeks". Well I wish somebody would say "your becoming more voluptuous everyday" but alas these blasted fats only find their way in my arms, hips and cheeks. I honestly think my cheeks are getting rounder.


So when I received my second box of Nestle's Fitnesse Cereals which is made of whole grain cereals, I really thought to myself, "what if I give this program a try?" The 14-day Fitness program may actually work but then if I really don't follow it religiously or do not have the discipline to follow through, I guess no program will actually work for. Thus, this box of whole grain cereals on my doorstep started my decision to chronicle my experience on following this 14-day Nestle Fitnesse Program.

My resolution:

1. I promise to tell the truth. I will be totally honest on writing what I ate. If I can't be honest to myself then how can I expect to be honest to other people, right?

2. I will document my meals by taking photos and then posting a brief description in my blog post.

3. I will weigh myself before, in the middle and after the 14-day Fitness program.

4. Lastly, I will do my water therapy together with my 14-day Fitness program. I swear by this water therapy not just for curbing one's appetite but also as a cleansing diet.


In my quest to do this 14-day fitness program, I seek the help of my spouse, Nestle and oh dear God. From my spouse, he promised to give emotional support. From Nestle they sent me three more boxes of Nestle Fitnesse Cereals which extends my supply for 9 more days. And the rest is up to me and my dear oh great God!

Till the next blog post...
