Diet or exercise?

We hear so many crash diets...sm do proteins at night...some follow atkins, gm diet..list is endless...Some diets work, some dont..All I want us working moms to remember is diets are not as important as the exerise part is. Coz to b frank, working moms should'nt do fad diets, we want energy n strength to last us the whole day n more! Though fats r best avoided.

Pls take out lil time from ur busy schedules, from 20 minutes to an hour of physical activity.., You may want to work out 20 mins on weekdays but on weekend why not make it 40 mins...balance is the key., n consistency!

Pls buy yourselves some flattering gym wear, good shoes n yu r set.,.

For me good music is the only carrot....carry my headphones to gym

A good playlist ensures happy fun work out.

So what is stopping y'all.

Dont you want those inches melting away?

Something right only coz I feel light, I am able to get into some of my older clothes, i also have higher stamina, I feel healthy and i know this is for keeps, it's no fad diet, its no starving. i eat my meals, space them every 2 hours, eat early and wind up meals early,avoid fats, incorporate raw and whole foods and add in some more activity and do the gym. 1. Wake up early, by 5.30, skip@200, do suryanamaskar set of 10 or crunches (100) before I leave for work and before I start my household daily chores, meanwhile I keep a watch on my daughter as she sleeps. 2.

Fitness Diary- IV

Do you go to pizza hut and start looking for a salad, without a mayonnaise dressing. Well, I did just that! When my family wanted to check out the new pizza in town, I tried to woo them to something healthier, maybe southindian- where I could do with idlis, maybe here, maybe there, but no not pizza hut, when I had spent a good ten mins preening in front of the mirror, marveling at my new waist. Of course, I had just a tiny a slice of pizza later that evening, but it made me realize that I indeed have a strong will power, I took time enjoying my salad which was really nice. It was a mix of exotic vegetables with a predominant oregano and lemon flavor. Only gripe it was a li'l more salty than required. It took me some time to write this particular diary, coz a lot was happening. I gained half a kg , lost it back, gained more gyaan on my metabolism, fitness and here I am posting how the very busy working mom is trying to stay bang on with her fitness regime. Brief note about self:

Post work destress at home

When i rush home after a long day, my mind is whirling on dinner menu, spending time with li'l one, maid issues, health of ageing parents, clothes for next day, homework, ppts...phew..! I am sure most women face these moments..But ladies, when u are in the long haul u cant let yourself wither away like that. Create magic at home, destress amidst all the chaos around u. You will find peace and calm i am sure. You will be rejuvenated and ready for the next day.
