The weight loss trail that is, the last update I did on the blog was really really really long ago and I havent been able to do much on it since than apart from adding on some weight on self 😦 I have been doing yoga for the last 2 months and it hasn’t helped me reduced any weight though I agree that its not up since than but I have a lot to lose so I decided last week that drastic times need drastic measures and just when I was thinking of going back on the diet that my nutritionist had suggested me last time I lost 11kgs (out of which 4 is back 😦 ) a friend A suggested that he has been following a diet from the book called “The 4 hour body” , the way he spoke about it passionately the book was ordered the same night from Flipkart and read with much gusto… loved the book and craziness in Timothy enough to try it… Its basically a slow carb diet where we eat as much protein and stay away from direct carbs… and there is a cheat day every week 🙂

So starting today morning I have started the diet and I am totally excited abt it… will keep u guys posted as usual, wish me luck please

health, personal, rant

For all those people who don’t like rants, its a warning that this post is only rant.. so feel free to stop reading ahead if u want… but its my blog and I will rant if I wish too

So I slipped yet again day before yesterday, though I tweeted about it joking that

Last time i was cmg back from delhi i had hurt my neck this time its the knee a omen that god doesnt want me to come back from delhi 😉

I am feeling anything but good… this time its the knee that I have hurt and that is making me very upset… I showed to the doctor yesterday and he has declared it as a ligament tear and advised me a week’s bed rest… (yes bed rest yet again 😦 )

The year started with a slipped disc in the neck which still troubles me now and then 😦 and then I twisted my ankle sometime back and now this knee… And when I am not broken I am down with something or the other whether its the simple flu or low BP or continuous vomits which doctor thought was because of Gall bladder stone but actually was just a reflex… whether is a migraine which keeps coming back like it loves me like no one or its the ever present Bangalore induced cold… I never seem to be in perfect health 😦 and I am sick of it

I am sick of being sick… I really don’t know what to do of this, how to handle this and come out of this rut? The weight loss is at a stand still because of this too.. I have lost 11kgs but then since than I am stuck there, unable to focus on any form of exercise of diet for more than a week because some form of illness just strikes me ever so often… I atleast have 10 more kgs to go before I even can say I am away from being obese even if I forget about my ideal weight…

Today when I sit on my bed with my laptop and a book, I am frustrated to the extent that I am not able to focus on anything… The past year has been the worst in terms of health and like I said above I have no clue how to cure it… The doctors seem to be as clueless as me on providing me a holistic cure and are hell bent on treating each problem separately and that is hardly helping 😦

Gosh I don’t even know why I am writing this post… I guess it’s a rant and a way to get it out of my system…

Ok so now I will end my most disjointed post ever… go ahead bring on the hugs and make me feel better

Confession of a Bake-o-holic No 1 – Post 9

NaBloPoMo, Weight loss, Weight loss update

U can’t attempt to lose weight… sigh

The last weight/fitness update I did was eons ago… yes please go ahead and scold me I need it….

Let me make a confession here its been 3 months I have gone to the gym…gone to means been regular… the reason is not just laziness thankfully…. I got a terrible neck pain in Feb and since than I havent been able to do any gym… everyday I go to the gym the neck pain comes back with a vengeance… 😦 😦 I have shown multiple doctors and consulted a personal trainer too… practically my only option seems to be either walking or swimming…

And I can’t tell you how sad I am right now that I don’t know how to swim… I have resolved to find a way around this and get myself into coaching once Ojas settles down into school…

I am continuing my walks (they are not very brisk though) and was able to keep up my weight till the last update I did and that was before I started my baking course…

And in comes the baking course and everything is washed down the drain…. Seriously…. I am so damn angry with myself, I have put 1.5 kgs in the last 6 weeks… A very disappointing figure… The thing is when you make around 4-5 dishes in a day, even tasting everyone of them everyday does a great harm to one…

Could I have done without  tasting? May be? But frankly personally I think you can’t help but taste… mainly for two reasons

1. u have worked hard on it… since morning 10 to evening 4

2. u learning them and you need to know what is the correct taste like

May be my reasons above are wrong, may be they are not… but the nutshell is that I have put on some weight 😦 And I need to lose it again…

So now that the course is over I begin my weight loss regime all over again….

Brisk walks everyday and strict diet control are going to be the only things I will be able to do right now… hope I am able to change these depressing figures very soon…Wish me luck and yeah scold me if you want

Intial Weight : 94.3kg

Last update weight : 83.2 kg

Current weight : 84.7 kg

As a result I have been under house arrest and will be so for the next 4 days with the physiotherapy guy coming home everyday and feeling terribly bored… Can’t  sit on the laptop for long… Can’t read for long… Can’t even play with Ojas for long…

And did I mention that I am feeling frustrated oh yes I did but I will say it again… I am feeling very very frustrated… whatever will happen to my workouts now… they are atleast gone for a month… entering a gym or running is out for a month and that finishes my dream to complete the blog25k 😦 😦 sigh…. why me????? always why me???????????

Intial Weight : 94.3kg

Last update weight : 84.0 kg

Current weight : 83.2 kg

Ok so the weight is going down 🙂 but I am happy for much more… why u ask? Sometime back I was browsing the good old FF for some motivation (God why did it die a premature death?) and I read this post by Sunita talking about the non scale victories and how we never celebrate them as much as we should… and I so agree with that, we get so hung up with the scales moving up and down that we absolutely forget that what matters more than that is the NSV’s… the inch loss, the fall in the body fat, the increase in the stamin, improve in health etc…

so today I am going to celebrate the NSV’s 🙂

The thing that makes me most happy is the inch loss ofcourse, because that is what makes everyone sit up and notice that yeah u have lost way and compliments are a great way of encouragement which keep u going…

I have lost about 5 inches at my stomach… I think there is another 5-6 to go before I get a flat stomach, my dream since ages…

I lost about 3.5 inches at the chest and all my blouses that I got stiched a year or so back have become so funny and when I went to get them altered the tailor said that it would probably be easier to stich new 😉

I lost about 4 inches at the waist YAY

About 3 inches at the arms, about 4 inches at the thigh and about 1.5 at the calves…

I have almost gone down two sizes and don’t need a plus size anymore 😀 😀 😀 a xl (and in some even large) fits me just fine….

My BMI is gone down by about 3%

I just finished day 3, week 3 of C2K… and though I was tired I was able to do it!!! and I cant tell you how happy I am… when I started working out I couldnt walk on the treadmill without huffing and puffing for 20 mins and now I am almost running for 20 mins and thats huge for me…

I remember about 8 months I wasn’t really able to climb the two flight of stairs from my ground floor to terrace without huff puff but the other day I went to a friends house on 5th floor and walked up almost comfortably….

I also did a Basic Art of Living course the last weekend and could almost do all the aasana’s they taught and I have started practicing yoga and Sudarshan Kriya at home which will also build my inner strength more…

I hope I am able to celebrate many more non scale victories ahead too 😀

Weight Update

Weight loss, Weight loss update

Pratically the last weight loss update I did was on Oct 13 and is Dec 11 today… sigh thats almost 2 months 😦

I feel ashamed of myself  but its so damn difficult to get into the groove after you come back from a vacation that too a long one…. Every day I would think that I will start today and everyday something or the other will hold me down… basically its nothing but the will and the damn laziness but last week I decided that enough is enough and started back…

I feel so good to have got back in the routine that I cant tell u, I think there is a great amount of satisfaction u get when you do what u want to do and when u see results even better… hope to stick to the routine now

and as for the numbers 🙂 here they are

Initial Weight : 94.3 kgs

weight before the break : 84.2 kgs

weight after the break : 85.8 kgs :(all this is due to mom’s food I tell ya

Current weight : 84.6 kgs

The good thing about this is that I put only around 1.5 kgs after doing no workout at all and binging on the food like crazy for about 7 weeks or so and out of which I was able to shed almost all in a week… So in the long run I dont think I will put back all the weight I lost immediately after I stop like people are scaring me

A lot has been going on in life but the will to blog seems to be missing offlate.. I think I have hit the biggest writer naah I am no writer the biggest blogger’s block.

I just dont feel like writing anything infact I dont even feel like reading the blogs, havent opened my reader in daaaays… So till the urge to say comes back strongly I am going to sit back and hope it returns soon… may be this post is the starting for that

weight loss effort are going nowhere at all… Its been 2 weeks I am back from vacation home and I have been doing nothing at all… no workouts… no diets… gosh how difficult it is to leave the inertia and come back to it… I have put a kg but I am sure that is not a big deal if I get back to it but I am not doing anything about it… High I do something… I just keep postponing it… from tmrw ok day after.. after this event or the other 😦 But I think its high time I am going to get back to it from tmrw for sure 🙂

We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary yesterday and went to the Zuri for dinner… and the food there was awesome, the service great but I think the decor could have been a tad better…Now that we are talking of 5-stars we went to Vivanta by Taj some days back for a quick late night meal and what a pleasure that was… ofcourse it was expensive as it is expected to be… but the food..the ambiance.. the service.. brilliant… N ordered a prawn biryani and it was the yummiest I have ever had….

So whats been happening in your life? Will be back soon hopefully with a real post 🙂

Time to bring out the bubbly

Weight loss, Weight loss update

Yaay its time to celebrate…. if u are thinking its about diwali… no no no no…. this is about the weight loss…

And here is the update

Initial Weight : 94.3 kgs

Last update weight : 86.00 kgs

Current Weight : 84.2 Kgs

and that means the total weight loss is 10.1 kgs!!!!! I cant even explain the joy I am feeling now… When I started the journey about 3 months with my diet consellour I had no hopes, my confidence was down the dumps and had totally given up on it… but she showed me a new hope… motivated me to get on it… stick to the diet and to the workout plan and yet not give up on life… I have had enough deviations and enjoyment in this three months… multiple vacations and some days when I have even thulped but we have managed it later…

I also went through a plateau in between and how we worked through it was so interesting, she actually put me on rice diet for 3 days and I reduced my workout and the scales started dropping again. I think this is where professional helps matters, I would have probably never thought of doing it myself ever…

And now I am waiting for the next milestone… when I hit the 70’s even if it is 79.9 🙂 and that is when I will get myself a tattoo too 😀
