Weekender 04: Australian Open 2019 and Intermittent Fasting

I’ve been watching the Australian Open for almost two weeks now . It’s not a secret that tennis is my spectator sport. Mas gusto ko siya panoorin instead of actually playing it since the late 90’s. I like that a few young and very good ones are emerging like Naomi Osaka, Nikki Kyrgios and Stef Tsitsipas. But they have to wait, my faves are still reigning~ Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer. Their time will come.

Stefano Tsitsipas

At the Men's single finals yesterday, Novak Djokovic emerged as the champion. It was his seventh. As much as I love Nadal, si Novak ang manok ko. It feels good that he's back on being World no. 1 after suffering from an injury and a surgery last year. In the women's division, 20 year old Naomi Osaka of Japan bagged the trophy.

Gluten free diet

My husband is back to eating rice{instead of bread} again even during breakfast. I told him to try the gluten free diet after suffering from bloating, indigestion and sometimes rashes whenever he eats which made him lost a considerable amount of weight in the past year. I was stressed too whenever he suffers because sometimes I feel guilty because I'm the one in charge with regards to our meals. So I tried researching online. Good thing I'm very much aware of diets because I'm into fitness and wellness myself. 

slowly but surely

With almost six months of no strict diet, I know it would be hard for someone to just turn 360 degrees around to be conscious with what one suppose to eat on a given day. One key is to go back to what works for you~ mine is having a plant based and an almost pescatarian diet(no pork or beef). I am comfortable with this diet because I‘m not really a carnivorous person to begin with unlike my husband and son.

Another healthy drink for my husband and I. No more sodas for me at the moment.
