Great Food And Awesome Workmates

My colleagues at Emerson love to eat. One of them often bring home-cooked meals at the office whenever her Mom, who by the way makes really delicious food, is in the mood to cook. It's just funny because whenever I get a taste of the food that my colleague bring, I always tell her that she's so lucky to have a Mom that cooks very well.

There are also instances that my colleagues eat out after work. They usually go to fine dining restaurants just to satisfy their cravings. They normally talk about the restaurants that have good ambiance, have western charm and reclaimed wood dining table but are a bit costly. I don't think the price matter to them as long as they were able to eat good food.

I don't normally go out with them because I am watching my diet. I'm such a killjoy, aren't I? I hear them all say that whenever I decline their invitations. But I guess one day, I'll might go with them. I also want to be able to chat with them outside work. I know I'm going to have fun with these awesome colleagues. :)

Friends With Food Allergy...

My team mates at work love to eat! I used to be one of them but then from the day I started working out, I am very watchful of the food I eat. I'm not into a special diet but I prefer not eating too much. From then on, I was teased as the KJ (killjoy) because I often don't go with them whenever they do food trips. They do it after shift at work and it's always been my gym session after work. If I join them, I'd just have a little bit of whatever is served on my plate.

Two of my colleagues, Pamela and Jinky, even though they love to eat, have food allergies particularly with seafood. I got surprised when I learned about it. They told me that sometimes they eat a little bit of a menu with seafood and they'd be scratching some parts of their body in minutes. Sometimes they even turn reddish. They should check out allergist austin to get treated. In that way, they would be able to eat whatever food they want! :D

It's going to be the start of work week tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that one of these days they're going to ask everyone to go out after shift to eat. I might join them because I haven't bonded with them after my vacation! I will still have to watch my diet, though! :D

Trying To Suppress My Craving For Burgers! :D

My cousin Michelle was supposed to treat me at her favorite burger house earlier today. It was supposed to be a good treat because the burger house had a 50% sale today. Too bad we were not able to take advantage of the yummy burger because Michelle has to run some personal errands.

Even though I'm a bit disappointed, I'm also glad that I haven't munched on a burger today. Did you know that a quarter pound burger is equivalent to more than 350 calories? Burning 300 calories for me is spending 45 minutes running and brisk walking on the tread mill. You can just imagine how exhausted I get just to burn 300 calories a day. That's sort of my goal whenever I hit the gym. That doesn't include the other exercises I do in the gym.

At work, a lot of people noticed my weight loss. I'm glad they did! :D I'm putting too much work on this just to look good and feel good. LOL! I'm still trying to convince some colleagues to workout with me but most of them prefer diets for quick weight loss. They don't want to go through the physical work out just yet.

Anyway, I'll try to keep myself from eating burgers. I might still satisfy my craving but I won't eat the whole burger. How's that? I'll find someone to eat half of it! I promise! :D

Joy's Birthday Treat!

After an exhausting day at work a couple of days ago, me and my colleagues decided to eat out at Shakey's Pizza parlor in Glorrietta Mall. Joy, one of my team mates just celebrated her birthday last Saturday. Since a friend of ours kept prodding her about a treat, she did give us one!

Here are some of the photos:

The Yummy Treat....

The birthday girl, Joy and I

The Team!

Joy is one of the kindest people I've ever met. She definitely live up to her name. :D She's intelligent and full of wit. She makes sure that we brush off the negative vibe at work by making funny jokes with us. She always sees good in people even though everyone thinks that there's none anymore.

I really admire this friend of mine. I'm just so lucky to have met her and become friends with her!

Happy birthday Joy! May God continue to bless you and may you continue to be a blessing to everyone. Love ya, friend!!!

Yummy Treat!

Our team consumed half of the prize that we won for the music video contest 2 weeks ago. It was P15,000 worth of Italianni's gift certificate. The whole team got to enjoy the sumptuous meal served at one of the expensive restaurants in town.

YUMMY TREAT!

The Team!

That was too much carb, isn't it? LOL!
