Weight Loss Arsenal

A quick update, life's good. Been busy but on the track. 1400 calories a day target. Got some new stuff for the battle ahead. Today's weigh in was 78.4 kg. So all in all loss of 4.6 kgs since last 3 months.

Ordered a digital weighing machine from amazon.in( btw amazing service and i loveeeee their packaging, the cardboard box are so useful later for storing knick knacks, important papers, making doll houses etc). So the challenge has started in the right earnest.


On food front I discovered mungauri, a moong dal dumpling variant which is a gr8 option for vegetarians. As a vegan i get tired of the routine dal/ paneer and soya. These mungauris and badi come in chunk and have varied spices from mild to the full on atomb bomb types. Very savory and satisfying. U feel so much fuller after having these instead of the regular dal. Regularly having it in dinner. Cucumber and carrots breakfast was a good idea, since i see inches melting away.

Stumbled upon Diane's blog, do check it out for inspiration, doable ideas and great tips for weight loss. Her writing is so relatable!

My gym, walking, stairs, fruits and proteins have tip toed silenty back in my life and i could'nt be happier! Its amazing how walking sorts you out and you are set to handle daily pressures. whats your mantra for keeping in shape?

    My friend also gave me a weighing machine recently. It says I will present you with a nice and slim body. So it feels nice to look at :)
    And then I spoil it all by doing something stupid standing on it!

Fitness Diary - I

Making some basic changes in my lifestyle is slowly helping me get back in shape. I am broad structured and ideally my weight should be 63-65 kg, while i weigh 73 kgs right now. Slowly i will reach there! What am I doing on the fitness front? 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. Made a deal with self to atleast have three fruits a day, my first fruit is at 6.00 am. 3. Finish my breakfast by 0730 am 4. Eat fresh raw veggies and fruits, just after I

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. Here's how I try to find my peace n sanity after a long long day 10 mins on your own in a secluded space like balcony or terrace, or even a quiet corner at home with deep breathing Bonding with family, just connecting and catching up on day...before plunging into any work Avoid tv Light aroma candles, i light camphor n dhoop..sometimes camphor and some candles on top Light diyas across home Foot massage before bed Listen Soft music or chants Sometimes watering plants helps unwind after a busy day I do su
