2011 beginning log

I have not been religous about either updating this site neither with my diet.. Though with the workout I have been pretty regular.. the only problem being that I havent been spending and hour at the gym.. my time is varying between 35 to 45 mins only.. barring the last saturday.   I have been aiming to take measurements, but havent got around to doing it . I have been scouting to find a pool to atleast swim 2 – 3 days in the week.. that has been unsuccessful as well!  This doesn’t sound good at all.

But the positive piece as been that I got my test done, visited the doctor and my thyroxine supplement has been reduced! so I am hoping that this reduction doesn’t mean another step towards gaining a kg. Someone said I am always negating myself.. I’d better stop..

I will say ..this is a progress, last saturday i did 1.5 hrs of workout.. which is good.. and when I missed the morning workout.. i made it up by going in the evening.. so the intent and the progress is in the right direction..just keep up the good work girl (pat on the back)!

 

A setback

Due to the audit this week.. I have skipped a week’s work out.. very bad.. to top it I have indulged in food!

I forget how difficult it is to burn the amount of calories I am eating if I am not on the treadmill on a daily basis. I tend to indulge.. also telling myself that I anyways have to get to the gym next week.. this week is an excuse.

On a positive note, I started a food diary in a excel sheet, but due to the heavy load of work. I haven’t gotten around to adding  after 1 entry! 

I have promised myself .. next week onwards.. I am back on track hitting the gym hard!

 

Weekend cheat

Cheated on weekend…

Ate Rice for lunch and dinner, Saturday & Sunday!  Ate half a slice of plain cake & Masala dosa on sunday!  Too many cheats for the weekend.. probably documenting will help..

So much wanted to go to the gym on saturday… but the muscles which were not worked-out recently screamed otherwise..so did not go.. so 2 days without work out Saturday & Sunday.. Was planning to start going on Saturdays as well .. it did not happen this weekend.

 

Doing it right

Probably I am not doing this right…like they say here.

But I can’t really put my finger on it.. but I think it is a little bit of everything.. 5 -7 days of workout needed for me…

Minus 1 day: Indulged today in Biryani.. due to colleague’s insistence..

 

Good start

So, I have begun waking up at 6 AM instead of 6:30 dragging to 6:45 am.. which is good

I got to work out more than an hour.. which is really good

I have not been feeling too hungry.. good sign too

Got weighed at the gym…realised I am back to square one.. since I have been irregular lately! .. but still not feeling so bad.. as  I am on the right track

Eating right? carbs.. fibre.. protein too.. Now its a matter of keeping this consistency…

 

Another saturday wasted

I skipped gym.. because I overslept.. why? because I stayed up late! seems like a repeated pattren of saturdays.. I am telling myself.. this won’t happen from Monday onwards.. cause sunday is obviously Church.. Praying that God give me a little bit of discipline with respect to time.. which is the root of all problems..!

 

So it began

And so it has begun this way.. and I start with having Rice for dinner at 10 PM in night.. not good at all..
But from down.. there can be only one way… up!

 

A new beginning

Its been on my mind for a while now.. should I start a seperate blog to help me document my journey with my weight loss .. or should I just do it here.. I need a buddy to help me with my weight loss..  I have tried talking to my friends ..who are now far and in between.. I have told my mum.. couple of days and she is back to normal ..seems like no one really gives me a little push that I need to stay motivated ..  i dont want to do this for anyone.. just for me.. and i have been at it (working out) for a long time now.. though it has been fluctuating (a lot!) since feb this year..

Its so hard.. considering that I have been working out for ‘years’ now.. no one can believe that I can run on the treadmill like for 25 to 30 mins! people in the gym itself are surprised!  I don’t know if I have to blame this on my hypothyroidism or my genes .. Its not that I am not active.. or I eat out.. I work out (even on the weeks I skip few days) at least 3 to 4 days in a week.. I eat chappatis at home.. take lunch most often rotis or rava dosas.. dinner sometimes rice and sometimes rotis.. but I should accept evening sometimes I snack as well   .. 

Since Feb this year… something snapped after working out for so long.. on a regular basis.. I have become irregular.. I always have some excuse.. somewhere deep inside me probably I am disappointed .. that nothing seems to be working out.. my weight is just stuck at a couple of numbers.. it is just not budging from there… I don’t know why it is stuck.. is it the food (should I be really cutting it down drastically?)? Is it the 3 – 4 days 1 hour work out (Should I be doing 1 hr in the morning and evening?).. even if I do that .. will it ever work?

God, I just need a little bit motivation, encouragement that just to keep striving.. usually my disappointment used to last only for a short while.. but this time.. its just prolonged for way too long.. so I need to really do something drastic.. but who will watch over me so that I don’t give up… probably my blog ? making a a journal of my journey will help me keep motivated? Will I have the time to update it on a daily basis? Should I start a new blog..?  I just need to make a decision right away.. and take the leap of faith!

Lord.. are you listening?.. I just need a lot of help from you on this than from any other!
