So I decided to get on a weightloss/ stay fit program today. Also decided to blog about it on a daily basis, for the added pressure, and so that I can share info and healthy recipes with all of you out there.
I started blogging today on a site called dietblog.com. I can't seem to access it anymore :( So now, I am here. Hope this is better...
So I started off the day with a cup of warm water and a bowl of cereal with skimmed milk. Then after sending my son off to school, I had my one hour of music class. After the class I head out for a 40 minute walk. The weather is lovely, so it helps! With some good music in your ears , you dont see time flying. Then spent some time with my parents.Yeah I am lucky enough to have them living 2 buildings away from my place.
So today lunch was courtesy my mom :) But I wasnt really lucky enough to enjoy it really. After the walk, I was famished and so snacked on carrot sticks! yay!!
Lunch was a bowl of vegetable salad, 1 chapathi, vegetables and a cup of yogurt. After which I craved something sweet... :( But thankfully mustered all my will power to not reach for the piece of chocolate in the refridgerator. Instead had a handful of green grapes.
So far so good. Hoping I can keep up with this.
Planning to head out this evening to see the lights that have been put up all over the country to celebrate its 50th independence and 20th liberation. Heard its pretty awesome. Hoping that my dinner plans dont get sabotaged.
fyi --- Vegetable Salad was yumm... simple to make and yummy -- Just cut up some tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, green pepper(capsicum) , a small red onion and half an apple. Add some lemon juice and some salt and toss. Enjoy!!
People, share your tips, routines, ideas, healthy recipes etc. here. It would be fun to share all this and be in this together!

i hate capsicum....:(....a total letdown
ReplyDeleteYaay! Lemme get back to ekm as well....
ReplyDeleteI like a good pesto sauce with the green leafies, olives, tomato and maybe some low fat feta cheese!!
ReplyDeletefor a variation, i like a simple apple, cucumber and chana salad, seasoned with lemon and pepper.it has the proteins you need, the carbs and the lime to cut the fat.
