Patricia Javier and Regine Tolentino in their late 30s can still drive men crazy with their ageless beauty and Amazonian physique. Patricia Javier In a recent interview in time for today’s Mother's Day special, the two revealed the secret to their, shall we say, imperishable beauty. According to Patricia, her biggest influence in staying as fit as a fiddle is her husband Rob Walcher, a chiropractor. She shared he is manic keen on staying fit. “Nakita niyo naman ang asawa ko kung gaano ka-buff talaga siya, so kailangan ko siyang sabayan,” she said. “Pero siyempre at the same time may mga anak kami. I have to be strong for them whether physically or mentally.” To make sure she won’t gain unwanted pounds, she has routines. On weekdays, Patricia gets meals from a diet delivery company. “They cook healthy foods pero it’s very delicious,” she noted. “Tapos it’s in good portion pa.” Weekends are cheat days enjoyed especially by her child. “Dito ‘yung kahit anong gusto talaga naming kainin like cakes, ice creams, pizzas or bugers,” she shared. Patricia advises other moms that when they go to the grocery, they should make a beeline for the produce section where vegetables and fruits are located. And always read labels, she said, and “basta food na galing sa Mother Earth.” Good heavens! Patricia is almost always on the treadmill or running on the track or in the gym doing boxing. Patricia with her family Why this almost obsessive preoccupation with, er, beautification? “’Yun ang dapat mawala sa mentalidad ng mga kababaihan na kapag nag-asawa na o nanganak na, parang you just focus on the kids that you would sometimes forget yourself---mali ’yun Dapat we should focus pala especially una muna sa mga sarili natin kasi tayo ’yung nag-aalaga ng mga anak natin,” she explained. “Kung hindi tayo strong, kung hindi tayo maganda---tipong kung hindi tayo healthy---paano natin sila maalagaan ng maayos?” Patricia believes one of the keys in maintaining good relationship with partners or husbands is to stay blooming. “Kasi kung ayaw mong tumingin ang asawa mo sa ibang babae, kung ayaw mong gawin nila ’yun, dapat magpaganda ka parati para laging ikaw ’yung tingnan ng asawa mo,” she said, smiling. On the other hand, Patricia cleared she’s not striving to be in shape just for that reason. “Hindi lang ’to about sa dahil lang gusto ko kasi sexy ako. Ako ang mentalidad ko ngayon it’s more on I wanna be strong, I wanna be healthy so I can live longer for my kids and family.” Sexier, fiercer, bolder Regine agrees with Patricia that being fit has no age limit. How does she do it, we asked. “Well at this age kailangan talagang kumembot,” she said. “Dati konting kembot papayat ka na, pero now it’s a bit more challenging with wrinkles, weight gain, bloated and all the women stuff that comes with age. So, ako ngayon, I work as much as I can.” Regine Tolentino Regine said more than ever, she is dead serious in losing weight. “Kasi this January 1 was my heaviest weight ever na walang baby. ’Yung timbang ko is my weight in my third semester of pregnancy and so I was so depressed,” she admitted. “But I said, this is it. It’s my time to re-invent myself and really get my body goal that I always been dreaming of, ’yung J-Lo body.” Aside from her passion in doing ballroom and belly dancing, Regine is into eating healthy food. She’s also started working out with a trainer. “Kasi kung puro sayaw lang, it’s great for the cardio. However, you still need to tone your body and you still need strength and power and knowledge kasi hindi lang naman basta ‘O sige takbo.” Kailangan ma-target and ma-schedule din ’yung tamang workout.” In any case, Regine is just thankful everything in her life is doing well. “I’m so in love with myself and I enjoy every single thing that I do. I’m so passionate about my works and my children. Life is great, it’s better than ever I must say,” was how she put it. She is happy her two teenage daughters with estranged husband Lander Vera-Perez are supportive of her endeavors “Four years ago, it was my realization na ‘Hey, you know what? I think I’m missing out on something and I need to explore. I need to re-invent myself, I need to try new things and travel and get out of my comfort zone and achieve everything I wanna do,’” she divulged.
