My latest love for Dressing up

Now a days I have found a new love in dressing and that is leggings with Kurtis.
Really I found this dress so wearable, so comfortable, so beautiful and what not... :)

Here are thumbs up points of my liking to it:

1. Leggings are way too comfortable because of the stretchable fabric

2. They are available in all sizes and colors to fit the need

3. A perfect blend of western-enthnic wear, very smart and easy to carry by any body shape and size

3. Very helpful in hiding the flaws of our figure

5. So many options of various color, size and material kurtis available in the market suiting all kinds of budgets

6. Very versatile dress to easily match the requirement of professional or casual dressing

So, all these things give my full points to this dress.
I do wear jeans, trousers etc but sometimes specially in the heat of delhi's summers I find it very comfortable.

I have become so obsessed with this dress now a days that I have got so many kurtis and leggings for myself. Also even I have taken out some beautiful cotton dupattas of my old suits and got kurtis stitched for myself.

Somethin Yun Hi.....

From last 2 years I am hanging around this 60....really somewhere between 60-61-62-63.....

My first hurdle to cross is this 60 barrier...so Target 1 is 59.....

I have also identified the problem with my effort and that is Lack of Consistency.
After reading so many health and weight loss blogs I felt that I do eat normal (not at all addicted to junk foods, colas, pizzas etc)
But the problem is something or other things I put in my mouth without thinking.

Also portion control is really required.

I have also analyzed that this 6-7 meals a day is not helping me at all as I end up eating more than required.

So eating my basic 3 meals properly is better for me.

The truth is every day is not same, and life is not going on routines always but yes few things should be non-negotiable and should always be part of our day similarly as we do for eating and sleeping.

So this I have to do now:

1. Portion control
2. Stop mindless eating
3. sticking to my exercise by hook or crook. For this the best thing I came up with is to do my 30 DS or some yoga anytime when I get time :). Or if nothing then a walk is also fine. But something has to be there.

Also in last few days I have realized that as per my body it is a bad idea to do any rigorous exercise during my P. As it really ached my body like hell. Body need rest at that time so a normal walk is fine but nothing rigorous. So I am going to take care of this now.

Overall this is post is nothing at all structured but just whatever was in my mind I poured it here... :)

Signing off now.....

Started the 30DS

Last week was not good at all....had some family emergencies to handle...so no exercise...also had some or other issues which has taken all my mind......

However now started my 30 DS from today.
Though it seemed easy but I was definitely breathless and feeling little cramps in upper arms.
However I liked it and found it quite easy to fit in my schedule. Decided to do it regularly.

Lets see how it goes..... :)

Plan

Week Links:

1.       Office Treats –

i.                     Avoid (make some excuse)

ii.                   If this can not be avoided, keep the portion very small.

2.       Office snacks – I grab it when had very little breakfast at 8 at home and no carrying anything for myself for heavy breakfast.

i.                     Make sure to have a breakfast which keep me full and not make me to look at food at all.

ii.                   Carrying something with myself for making my stomach full like Sattu roti, Daliya, besan / sprouts chilla.

3.       Home fried chips etc – JUST AVOID IT.

On a good note for myself I would surely like to put it here that I successfully avoid eating ice creams etc, never crib for or get tempted to eat out.

Planning for food:

1.       Breakfast Option – This has the items which keep me full and heavy for long time.Options are

i.                     Daliya

ii.                   Sattu upma / roti

iii.                  Sprouts

2.       Mid Morning snacks – This one is culprit as if had a very light breaksaft, I grab what is lying in front of me.

Options are

i.                     Same breakfast what has in morning

ii.                   Any fruit

iii.                  1 glass Badam Milk (home made with Mishrambu)

3.       Lunch – Dal, 2 thin roti, curd

Khichadi

4.       Evening snacks

i.                     Chaach

ii.                   Fruit and curd

iii.                  Sprouts

5.       Dinner

i.                     1 glass milk

ii.                   Sabji and 2 roti

iii.                  Daliya (watery like soup)

No tea at office, only green tea 2 times at office.

Exercise plan:

I fail miserably on this front as I decide something but have never been able to follow it properly.

As it is tough to find time in my routine, the plan is:

i.                     Going for morning walk/jogging at 5:00 am

ii.                   Planning to buy Jillian Mitchel 30 days shred and follow it

iii.                  After how I feel about point 2, will then but her yoda dvd and will follow it too.

But the major challenge is to keep myself pushing to do it and make this part as non-negotiable.Definitely need to do something to not allow myself to ditch it.

Plan to follow the plan:

Ohh this is biggest challenge. Yeah it is very very easy to make plans but as human we alway ditch our own plan. But I have to do something to keep my reminding about my plan. Something which will make me feel that I should not get diverted.

Hmm I need to work on it and get something. Will post it here when I will get something for this step.

Confession....

My last post was all about that weekend was good in terms of diet etc...and how I manged not to sweep away with temptations.....

But this week is not going good at all.
On Monday I went for a walk at 5:00 am as i thought. But after that on Tuesday even though I was on leave, here are the mistakes I committed:
I have not went for walk.
Had poori allo sabji in breakfast.
Had fried chips after lunch with my kid. I fried them for him but as he has not eaten it so I finished it.

Later on Wednesday again no walk at all, has Chinese in office as somebody has given treat there.

So overall not good.

But my biggest challenge is to create a plan for my weight loss as without deciding what path I have to follow how can I start my journey.

There are so many things going on in my mind but I need sometime to sit and pen down everything so I can actually see it in front of me and can follow.
