I'm going bananas and buns



It's the new year here. Time for some solid introspection. When I look back, I see that I have achieved a lot in terms of body weight. Here are some not so vital stats:

Gained 15 kg in 2 years and more importantly maintained the same for 2 years.

To my credit, I did try losing some quite a few times
1. Joined Gym at work with Kavitha - went for exactly one day (no kidding!)
2. 6 months later when Gym membership expired, joined for aerobics at work again with kavitha.      Attended exactly 2 days.
3. Walked twice around my office with Kavitha for 5 days(?!)
4. Walked 10 times around my apartment - 7 to 8 days
5. Did a crash diet 2 years back and actually lost 5 kg (thanks to my father in law who gave me company as encouragement and followed it to a t - he is 60 plus). But then I gained it and more back soon enough.
6. Joined swimming class and attended - 5 days

This year I intend to carry on with my legacy. Starting from today this is the plan:


                            
                             1.  3 bananas and 3 buns  - 1 each 3 times
                                  Fruits and fruit juice at all other times when hungry


                             2. Weight check and some form of exercise for 30 minutes.


                             3. And ofcourse, I would be attending dance class this year.






I hope and pray that I do it and not end up with doing only weight watch everyday. Looking forward to a new me soon.

  8. Whether your weight loss program works out or not, your blog should, ok?
    Loved reading your blog.
    You should blog more often and please, do be regular.

  9. Janumaaaa :-) my daughter :-)

    SERIOUSLY, i'm afraid, your buns/bananas might not give all that your body needs.Make sure you eat some vegetables in any form, preferable steamed, with salt, and also include some form of protein like a slice of cheese OR lean meat (not fried) and fish occasionally. Yogurt or skimmed milk (that you love :-) would be good too.

    PERSEVERANCE, that's just what you lack in...

    You should look in the mirror rather than at the weighing scale, and keep a photograph of your beautiful figure of the past by your side,and one stuck to the same mirror you look into. That would be the best encouragement to eat less and work out more.
    Make sure you drag Vyas to the tennis court at least during the week-ends and play as long as possible. You'd start enjoying it more when Ruima joins you...and as the tennis ball starts hitting the sweet spot on the racquet.

    I promise I would give you company and do a crash dieting as we did earlier, when an opportunity comes...soon.
