Miranda emphasized that his motivation to stay healthy comes from love and responsibility toward his loved ones, especially as he approaches 50. He reminded followers that discipline and self-control are key to overcoming vices, writing that people lose only when they start believing they can’t change. He also humorously mentioned needing to fix his habit of scrolling on his phone late at night and watching old comedy clips instead of sleeping early.

Below is Chito Miranda’s full caption:

“Hanggang ngayon, 10 years after ko mag-quit, nate-tempt pa rin ako mag-yosi. Pero di ko ginagawa…kahit gaano ko ka-gusto.

Minsan, tinatamad ako mag-exercise, mag-gym, or mag-walking. Pero ginagawa ko pa rin…kahit wala ako sa mood.

Binawasan ko din ang alak, sugary drinks at mga unhealthy na pagkain, and started eating healthy.

Eto yung mga sacrifices na kelangan ko gawin para maging mas healthy, lalo na’t magfi-50 na ko sa Feb…hindi lang para sa sarili, kundi para sa mga mahal ko sa buhay.

Ayokong iwan ng maaga ang pamilya ko dahil sa sarili kong kagagawan…dahil sa kawalan ko ng disiplina

Kung nakaya ko, I’m sure kaya mo din.😊👍🏻

Kung tingin mo di mo kaya, di mo talaga kaya kasi ngayon pa lang, tinatanggap mo na na talo ka eh.✌🏼😅

Di mo pwedeng unahin ang excuses. Dapat tanggapin mo muna na mas malakas at mas matibay ka kesa sa mga temptations ng mga bisyo mo.

Di talaga madali, pero kaya mo yan kung gusto mo talaga.😊👍🏻

Ngayon ang priority ko is matulog ng maaga hangga’t maaari…lalo na’t puyat ako buong buhay ko dahil sa pagbabanda hehe!

Kelangan din ko ayusin yung bad habit ko: yung pag-gamit ng phone at pag-scroll ng kung anu-ano bago matulog. Minsan sasabihin ko check ko lang email ko, after 2 hrs nanonood na ko ng snippets nila Dolphy at Babalu.

Yan ang kelangan kong ayusin para mas maayos ang tulog ko, and maging mas healthy and present ako for my family, at aantok-antok kinabukasan hehe! Kaya yan.“
