My Diary

My dresses fit me better, I am energetic, though my knee hurts while climbing stairs these days. I can walk much more without feeling fatigued. I feel lighter and my digestion has improved 1. Never stop doing your exercise, whatever be the circumstances, be it a brisk walk around your lawn/ sprint upto the local grocery or getting up from the computer to get the photo copy or going upto someone else’ seat just to say hi. Fitness experts say it is important to avoid sitting for long durations and get up at least every 30 minutes. 2. Keep exercising however little it is, say if u doing 10 suryanamaskars a day, and on a holiday u are’nt able to find time for all 10 then you can do 5, which ways u don’t end up losing the flexibility your body has gained while exercising, your muscles retain the strength to keep working out and you feel good. 3. Keep variety in your activities, as in, on a day when I did no yoga, walking or gym I took the li’l one to a nearby park, we ran a lot, pla...

1. Never try to prove your point to anyone. And if you know you are right, it hardly matters. And learn this one fast! 2. Never give advice or opinion unless sought explicitly, that applies to all except your spouse and kids. 3. Reach appointments/ work on time. 4. Its relatively easy to smile off uneasy incidents in life, than sulk over them. 5. Dont take life too seriously. Learn to laugh. 6. Take criticism positively, if taken in the right spirit it can help you improve by leaps and bounds 7. You are the only one responsible for your happiness 8. You are and your goals are more important than sundry people.

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.

As working women we take a lot of favors, in order to let our lives go on happily while we jiggle myriad roles with deft and efficiency, remain productive at work and contribute to family and society. These favors are generally taken from the spouse, parents, some from the in laws, relatives and few from the employers also. Things are fine when people understand. But it is wrong to expect that they will return the favor. Give people around you space and learn to accept that they can say ‘No’ too! Have expectations only from yourself and yeah from your battery of staff, maybe maids, drivers etc.! And no one else! When things don’t happen your way it leads to negativity, unhappiness and loss of rapport. So let there be merry, do not sulk if you are told ‘No, not this time’! Find ways to help yourself and gather support from some other source. Make working a great experience for yourself and your family. Don’t let it become a burden on you and keep smiling and work at being HAPPY!
