4 Jan 2012!!

Oh my God!! I have to regularly update this blog .. i can clearly see I have missed so many details.

 

Since my last blog at 66.020.. I had managed to go to 65.1 and then I missed a few days and then went back and it moved up to 66 again. I was so sad then and then I worked the rest of the week
(but few slips in food) and then it went up again 67.1.

Today I went after a good 15 days or so *ashamed* and after 2 hours of workout it was 67.1.. Why I missed 15 days… hey it was new year, actually the reason my gym routine broke was that my normal day routine broke. I got over my project and was idle, this meant no going to office early mornings, only once in a while and then when you wake up late, you eat whatever you want and laze off the entire day and evening you doze off coz its soo cold and then watch tv late night and sleep late almost morning, there isn’t any routine you can follow. A week after this disaster to myself i realized if Im so lazy in the evening why not go to gym in morning, i could go late as its open till afternoon. The thought was the only effort , I didn’t follow anything for another 1 week. Feeling guilty was there but i was eating all I wanted and sleeping and watching tv and reading, so not much thought was given to guilt.

So the year ended without my target being achieved.

But then health is not a target right, its a journey, you need to keep going.

And then I saw the pics of so many people I know and they used to be in not so great shapes (even worse than me, if I may say so) but now they were all fit and fab. I was jealous..but more than that inspired. If they can I can do it too.

So here is the new target for myself. 53 kgs before July 2012.

It seems a little unreachable.. its 14 kgs in 6 months, but I’m sure I can do it. And the catch is, wherever I am, whatever routine change comes into my life ‘exercise will always be accommodated’. That is the discipline I need and will follow.

 

Cheers to a happy and healthy 2012!!!!

My thighs hurt !!!

 

Well.. after last weeks fall out and going from 65.9 on monday to 66.6 on thursday.. I was little worked up to pull up my performance and get it all back. So weekend went in maintaining eating habits and on monday after deadly workout, weight was 66.020. Thank god!

 

So this week has been good. Monday and Tuesday good workout of 1.5 hours. Monday was cross trainer 60 mins  and then shoulders and yesterday was 60 mins run and then thighs.

Well that did the trick, my thighs are little sore..ok more than a little but not too bad also.

Also I’ve caught stupid cold in office today and its irritating me.

 

Also I have been eating little sugar stuff on monday and tuesday but only before and after workout. Mom got grocery and some biscuits and snacks. Not much, just 1 or 2 and little wheat maggie. But i will stop this too.

 

Missed dance today, didn’t feel like going, with my cold thing and then it turned well coz some important guy came home and i would have missed it if i had gone.

3rd Dec 2011

Little guilty and ok with it.

 

Well, last week also I worked out only for 3 days and missed the forth day coz I went out with N for a movie.

I knew that I might not go to gym on friday so on thursday I weighed myself and it was 66.6..NOOOOO!!!

This didn’t happen by itself you know, I did eat pizza one NIGHT, 3 slices and cheese of 1 piece (i left the bread)… Not Good!! Also I haven’t been eating the first mid meal of sprouts and no oats…

Also 1 night I ate roti and veggie also. It was too yumm!! mom had made it!

Although I did go ahead with the 60 mins high intensity cardio, 1 day running and next day cross trainer.

Maybe my body is adjusting to the new workout and it will take time to show results.

I’m ok with this rise from 65.9 to 66.6.. it happens .. i’ve seen this before. But I want to focus hard on what I want. Also this friday I didn’t eat much outside, some nacho’s that is all. I’ve been carrying an apple and after work on way back home I eat that.

 

I realize it is december and now I have 3 weeks to get onto my plan. How much I want to loose in these 3 weeks ? 20 kgs I would wish! But being practical atlease 1.5 kg, so that would bring me on 65 kg.

 

Another thought I’ve got is, when I reach 60kg, I’m going to buy myself some good clothes. I totally deserve them

Happy fitness!!

so last was 66.6.. okay.. and the next I worked out on 3 days, then missed  friday as I went out for movie with N and also ate out at TGIF, the nacho’s special with sprouts and cheese..ohh I love that, but it is so much that I have to waste and I don’t like that and can’t even get it packed. The weight was consistent on 66.6. Happens!! I am getting used to these ups and downs.

 

The next week (last week) I worked out on 2 days only and then had PMS , also went out again on Friday evening and ate out, some dimsums and chilly honey potato at Yo China.

 

Today, Monday, I went in with full mood to work out and enjoy myself. I decided to start on treadmill and then something came over me and I wanted to do all 50mins of cardio on treadmill only, and if you read my other blog then you’ll know that one more reason why I felt like going on and on on the treadmill was because  The Boss did show off about his 15kms per hour runner status. I could be a runner, I love running. So I started with my usual pace and went upto 9.5 (usually I go to 8.5 and only sometimes 9) and also  I did full 60 mins and it was amazing. I was not dying on the treadmill I was focused and running and I could so see myself training for marathons you know. I got off the treadmill flushed and all good, not huffing and puffing. Then I completed rest of workout of light weights and side bends and leg raise.

Weight: 65.9…OMG!!! I so wanted to see the 65 figure there…amazing!! and I’ve realized that now I’m not even obsessing over it all you know, I’m just trying to be consistent in going to gym and be focused when there and the good effects are showing as a bonus. I love to workout!!! I love myself!

 

I also talked to my trainer about marathons and he did not seem to know much about it, but I told him that I will register for the next marathon and then we can start training for it. It feels good to even say it! I mean this could be my thing you know, the thing that I always say that I need in my life, some type of physical workout that becomes a part of my life, this could be it!! Im so excited.

 

Btw food intake has been ok, but the mid meals are suffering a lot. I’m not carrying sprouts and will soon. Also water intake is average but I’m not staying thirsty either, so I’m drinking when thirsty but it is not overclouding my every thought or day.

 

Multivitamins is still not started….WAKE UP!! eat it..its just 1 small tablet… it will make you stronger and fitter…and beautiful… I will from tomorrow I will.

 

Today.. sleep is going to be restful..amen!

This week went well in terms of fitness. I had a cold almost everyday and fever on 1 evening and still I managed to go the gym for 3 good days and that too high intensity workout, mostly killing cardio and other weights. Monday I did some chest weights and it left my inner arms aching for 3 days and then i was down with fever and took some painkillers and it went away the next morning.

I knew I would be missing Friday workout as I had plans to go out with a friend, so I weighed myself on Thursday, 66.6.. okay, no problem, over the weekend it will come down I know. Maybe to a 65.

I still have 1 and half week to bring it down to 64.5.

 

Im eating good and healthy, although multivitamins tablet is totally being missed, I HAVE TO TAKE THAT EVERYDAY. I will. starting now.

Wow!! Inspiration is on its peak now.. after the wonderful Friday where my weight was 66.5 I was very happy to keep it on same level over the weekend too.

 

Today monday, I was super excited to workout and then after workout weight 66.6…hmmm not at all  bad. considering I didn’t keep my water and fibre intake and also went for dinner on saturday night (although it was very small portions).

 

I looked back by lat post for Oct, where I defined the goal for next month and guess what it was 66kg.. Dude I’m going to achieve that end of this week itself or maybe even cross it and then I have 1 and half week extra.. yay

 

redefining goal now.. below 65kg… or lets be precise 64.5… OMG!! I am so happy.. I can almost see the changes happening in my body and also my stamina is going up and I feel so in control and happy!!

 

one thing to work on.. water ..I try but need to make it part of my life much more effortlessly and then Multivitam daily.. this I HAVE To do.. its so important.

 

also Im exploring some blogs for motivation and nutrition info.. do share if you know any

Yes.. I am posting after a long time again, but this time I have some good fitness updates and hence the enthusiasm.

 

Well diwali week did NOT go as I had planned. I ate sweets and other stuff too, fried poori and all, although little limited that what I would have if I wasn’t feeling guilty or going to the gym. Still I did eat a lot of sweets, i think 2-3 a day for almost a week or so. And also gym was hardly visited. Bad girl..bad bad girl.

I started gym with enthusiasm again in Nov first week and have been watching my diet, nothing much just trying to keep off the sweets and other crappy food, however some sweets were left after diwali, so I did grab about 1 or 2 in that week also. Weight at end of week – 68.020.

Thank You God!

Then at beginging of next week, weight 67.80. Not bad.

And today, i.e after regular 4 days of intense workout, watching food, a few small slips ( a packet of noodles) and 2 regular jazz classes, weight 66.5.. I know… OMG!!!!  It was the best thing.. to see that figure there.. I lost almost 1.3kg in 4 days.. I love work out..

 

I am so motivated. Another thing Im doing is taking protein powder 2 tbsp and also some carbs after gym, nothing special just normal home food less quantity.

wow.. with this rate I think I will reach below 65 pretty soon.. and then next will be below 60 and then below 55.. OMG!!! i am so excited!!!!

also while gyming i keep thinking of all the motivational things that keep me going and increase my mental stamina, like

‘i have one hour and i need to make best use of this for myself’ heard in jennifer lopez’s fitness interview post her babbies

‘its great i work on my body and see it change’ a friend said this to me

‘i am in control of my body and make it do things i want, rather than the body controlling me and limiting me from anything’ i thought this myself

‘i love to maintain my body’ self thought and i usually imagine myself with super flat abs and slim body when i think of this,,so then my focus shifts from losing weight to maintaining the fab body i dream of.

I love myself for doing all this.. hope to see best results soooooon!!
