Reaching Healthy Weight
1st Day out of 77 Days.
Yes, Marking this day as first (1/77), I started workout. Being a doctor it is not enough to keep on telling my over-weighed and obese patients to follow on diet and exercises along with medications. I must set myself as an example so that I can inspire my patients.
Before I reach to Obesity, I decided 'By Hook or By Crook' to reach my goal of reducing uncessary weight in healthy way.
So, I designed few of my own Fitness Mantras:
- Shed your EGO first, then shed your WEIGHT
- Controlling Panchendriyas (Five senses).
- Note down benefits on Day-Today Basis.
- Plan short-term diet.
In terms of food, whatever I am going to have for a day, I am going to divide into Eight Portions.
- Morning Breakfast: 3 Portions: It can be started with Mono Fruit (Single Fruit), Plus Regular Breakfast Plus a cup of Milk.
- Pre-Lunch: 1 Portion: Just Having two healthy Bics or Soaked Badam or or anything of your choice.
- Lunch: 2 Portions of food.
- Evening: 1 Portion: Tea with snacks.
- Dinner: 1 Portion.
Evaluating My drawbacks and Corrections:
- Getting up Late: I will correct from tomorrow.
- Sitting for long hours: Yes, Now I started displacing myself when and as needed.
- Not following food timings: It is a grave mistake which I am doing currently and I must correct it to reach my goals.
- Going to bed late: This is also very big mistake what I am doing and from today I am going to rectify it.
- Eating sweets after dinner: This is also my drawback and bad habit which I am trying to stop and will definitely stop it in future for which stop stocking such food stuff at home.
What I did for the DAY 1:
Writing on 07/11/2014, 12.30 PM:
The only one good thing which I did is to walk 6 kilometers.
However Diet wise, I maintained having one cup of coffee in morning plus two tea bun (that contains maida and I later realized to cut down Maida, so going to avoid in future), followed by one apple, and around 11.30 AM I had one Banana.
For Lunch, I had rice and daal.
Dinner, unexpectedly, I had bit heavy at Santhigiri Ashram. I had Kichidi made with Suchi Rava, and followed by payasam.
At around 10 PM I had Papaya.
So, overall I maintained moderate diet yesterday. At bed time I just analyzed my food intake and planned for the next day accordingly.
As usually I went to sleep around 11.45 PM which I am going to change it to 10.30 PM.
