It’s been a roller coaster ride for the last two weeks especially in terms of my weight. I’ve lost a couple of pounds, gained a few, and now I’m losing some again.

You see, two weeks ago, the deadline for exams and grades, the best weight loss pill for teachers, came up. I had to stay up till 3 or 4 in the morning to finish checking, updating, and rechecking papers (mine and the those of other teachers in our department). Trudging on for almost the whole week with an average of only around 2-3 hours of sleep made me lose a pound or two.

However, right after the deadline, I went on an eating spree to celebrate. And in only a few days, whatever weight I lost, I gained back.

Now, a week after, I’m losing some again because I’ve just recently started biking. It’s been two days of biking to school and back and my sore muscles are living testaments to the difficult exercise I’m currently undertaking. I’m determined though to master cycling so I’m prepared to lose more pounds in the next few days.

I just hope the weight stabilizes so my body can adjust to the exercise faster.
