Better late then never !!!

2012-01-14T17:50:00.004+05:30

Hello Folks,

Back after a while coz was tightly caught up with work and home...
Got married and so changed my priorities and came additional responsibilities...

Now since things have settled, I am back to my fitness mission. The other day some where i read this quote "I choose to be fit".

It did not click anything to me at that moment. Later that day i happened to stand on the weighing machine, wont say that I was shocked to see the weight reading,bcoz of the never ending treats and invitation than happens in a typical Indian Families for a newly wed.I wont blame that entirely for my weight gain... I happen to actually shift my focus away from fitness.

But as they say "Every day is a new day".

So start afresh with renewed energy and motivation... :-)

Step 1 : To Start with I first controlled my eating outside urge.. which i tell you is quite a challenging thing for me to do :-)

Step 2 : Next step was to cut on the amount of intake of dinner.. Very important when we are on the road of weight reduction...

Step 3 : Next was to add a bit of exercise.. make it a step by step process. Don't try to loose it all in one day.. :-)

Target loosing at least 0.50 KG a week.

Keep your goal realistic and simple...... And you will definately reach there as I did.. :-)

All The best

Diet Tip!!!

2010-02-02T22:27:00.001+05:30

Don’t go for Crash diet!!

You cannot loose the weight you have accumulated for years in a months time.

Crash diet cannot sustain for long, the moment you will resume your ususal diet you will start craving for all the food you resisted and end up putting on double the weight!!!

Diet Tip - Do not Skip breakfast!

2010-01-31T12:36:00.003+05:30

When you first wake up, you are likely to be low on energy.

If, the night before, you ate dinner between 7 to 8 p.m. and then nothing else until breakfast at 8 a.m., you would have gone 12 hours without added fuel. Your body may have burned around 1,100 calories during this period. Most of the fuel used would have come from your stored fat and carbs!!

If you skip breakfast at this point and do a tough workout, Say you burn 500 calories during the workout. By the time you eat later that morning, you may have lowered your energy deficiency by 1,600 calories (that is, 1,100 calories burned while you sleep, plus 500 from the workout).

At some point of time you body will demand more fuel and this is the time when you will most likely to binge and hog and go into a huge energy surplus to compensate. This will lead to Over Eating and more calorie consumption.

The moral :
Never Skip Break fast and for the rest eat small-to-moderate sized meals every three or four hours.

Less Caffeine

2010-01-30T14:03:00.002+05:30

Limit caffeine. This one is tough, but if you want to lose, you have to do it. No exceptions. Moderation is ok, but don't overdo it.

Initially I used to have some 5 to 6 cups of tea or coffee!! Trust me it was difficult to reduce to 1 or 2 cups!!

Begin recording every nibble you take!!!

2010-01-30T13:14:00.002+05:30

Begin recording every nibble you take in immediately on a daily basis in journal.

Why : Because chances are that you, like most of us, don't really know how much you are consuming on a daily basis. Each day, look at the habits you seem to have developed according to the records you are keeping, and make one positive change. For example, consider cutting out one glass of soda, omitting one indulgence, etc

Result : After a week or so , when you have performed this task, go back to your journal and analyze, what you have been eating right and what you have been eating wrong.This will help you to focus more on the good and healthy food.

Note : Dont stop jolting down every nibble you take and see for yourself, if you are making any progress of shifting your focus from junk food to healthy food.
