My last post was about my breakouts... well guess what? pimples no more!!! what did i do? well.. I think it was my hormones... and remember i wrote that i start taking Omega-3 supplement? Well, when that did not make much difference, I started taking Shaklee's GLA Complex. It contains GLA, Vitamin E and Sunflower Seed oil. Some of it's benefits are as listed below:

And yes! I am a Shaklee distributor and you can order from me! hehe... Anyway, I guess this worked for me, because I haven't had a pimple on my chin for about 2 months! Not even during my menses! Hooray!
My other gripe though... is UV rays. I have started a routine of running. I am aiming to run a Half Marathon (HM) by end of this year. So I have this running plan that is entering my 4th week. So when the kids are off to school, I go out and run. The thing is, by that time, the sun is already up and is really hot. But being as determined as I am (chewah), I plow through, only to have my skin burnt like the back of a 'kuali'. I always apply sunblock. But i still get tanned very easily. And I am worried that the sun will make my skin age faster! NNooooo! But I still need to run :( . Maybe I should run under the shades, but that would make it harder to find a suitable running path. Sigh, need to find more solutions. Like probably migrating to another country with a cooler climate. Or a spot on the earth farthest away from the sun, maybe?
I ran my first run for January last Saturday. It was a spur of the moment kinda thing, since I suddenly saw a post on FB selling 2 women bibs at once, just hours before the race. If it was just one, I wouldnt have gone. Talk about fate! Medal was really cute :).
I was really tired though because I didnt get enough sleep on Friday, and Saturday morning was really busy with cooking (will talk about it in later post), so to run on Saturday night was really a challenge. However, my pace was better than my training. The distance was supposed to be 9km, though I clocked only 8.83km on my Runtastic.
Hah, so... will I ever run a HM by year end? Please support me! If only I had a personal coach who can push me on my lazy days haha!
Till my next rant, au revoir!
