Dear Blog,
It a long time since I started this you, I have logged in and out several times but not posted anything. You have been left alone for long enough now. I promise to be your friend from now on wards.
My on again , off again relationship with you has reached a bad state.The 59 pounds I had to lose when I first started this blog is now 70 pounds. I started working on reducing back in Jan but as usual life happened and I let go of my control. Hoping to be a good friend and hoping you would help me reach where I need to be.
Saw some pictures of myself in a party and hated what I saw. Me who used to love being pictured and looking at my own now hate being part of pictures and avoid looking at any of my own. But this time around, I am in a situation where I have no choice. May be it is good ..It wont be so easy to let go of control when there are other things that demand my attention. So here I am having a conversation with you again.
I wont make a tight schedule, a tight diet plan, wont create a situation where I feel guilty for not having followed the said schedule and diet plan. This time around, it is one day at a time. So lets see how it goes.
I used to have this funny notion that Day 1 of any activity should start at the beginning of each week. But have learned that not everything should have a set date and schedule. Somethings in life, you just start and continue. So today is my DAY 1.
DAY 1
I have started fasting on oranges once a week and have been doing it for several weeks now. It has helped stabilize my weight and not gain anymore. Yes my goal is to lose weight as that will lead to a healthier me. The other way around of trying to stay healthy and losing weight as a side effect is not a choice for me anymore.
Today's Aim : To survive on as few oranges as possible. And drink at least 3 liters of water!!
12:30 PM : Have not eaten any oranges so far. Drank only .75 lits of water.
17:45 : Had one Vita Coco Coconut juice - 330 ml
19:30 :Had one big glass of orange juice
22:00 : Had 2nd big glass of orange juice
Water : 3.8 lits
Retrospect : Good day, achieved what I was aiming for.
DAY 2 (May 4 - Friday)
The day after the fasting day has been a problem so far. I ended up eating more than I should have, kind of compensating for both the days. So this is what my aim for today is based on.
Today's Aim : To eat small quantities of food for each of my meals. and dinner should be fruits/Milk Shake or Soup.
It has been a successful day. managed to stick to small portions and drank good amount of water. No time to measure anything.
DAY 3 & 4 ( May 5 & May 6-Saturday & Sunday)
The weekends are not in my control. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are days when I am not the one controlling my schedule. The day goes as my work requires it to go and the entire month of April, had a party every weekend and already see a similar pattern for May. Have a party tonight. So don't want to worry too much about what I am eating. The aim for this weekend is small portions.
Managed a decent weekend watching my portions. The water intake is on the lower end.
DAY 5 ( May 7 - Monday)
Had a training today, and followed my aim of controlled portions. Not a great day - had a couple of sodas for the caffeine in them and a bigger than usual dinner.
DAY 6 ( May 8 - Tuesday)
Training continued today and food wise followed controlled portions. Not a great day but better then yesterday - limited myself to one soda but had double serving of dessert ( the Banana nut cake was yum!!!). Dinner was again a small portion of home made Upma.
DAY 7 ( May 9 - Wednesday) - No track
Retrospect for the week: Weight wise I am where I was but much more active and the heaviness and bloating is much under control now.

The effectiveness associated with an abdominal Exercise device within the abdominal area is significantly less than you should think, in fact the effects of abdominal exercises are less than that of walking, jogging or cycling for a similar level of perceved effort.
