Goal October 3rd 2016

I have over the last few months brooding about the constant weigh gain that I have been having and the unhealthy lifestyle that I have sort.

Post a very public discussion of weight and a very uncomfortable me, I have decided to take some action.

If you know me you would know that I have never been someone who could diet or exercise, hence for me to have a realistic weight loss goals and lifestyle changes

For once I have always believed in the way Rujutha /Ayurveda describes weight loss. This has to be a lifestyle change, realistic and small and most importantly sustainable.

I am aiming to lose 5 kgs by end of year, it is a tall task but I am aiming high this time.

Changes I have decided to make

·         Hot water and lemon to start day

·         Reduce coffee/ tea

·         No snacking on junk

·         Plan meals well to include protein and vegetables

·         Make soup/ Sprout salad for 11 and bring to office

·         Triphala in the diet

·         Make wholesome homemade food.

·         No shopping in Sainsbury for junk

·         Target to make 13000 Steps a day / walk 45 mins

·         Early dinner before 7:30, slowly move this to 6:45 PM realistically can’t move it any more.

·         Restrict outside food to once a week

·         I can eat unhealthy food if I crave for it, but avoid it as much as I don’t crave it.

It is going to a huge task for me to keep this going, but I am sick and tired of not liking the way I look and not doing anything about it but brooding.

I think for me the hardest times to keep myself from snacking is the time from 10-1 , 3-5 at office and then as soon as I reach home. I need to plan meals or snacks around this time that I can carry to work.

I have lost half a kg from the time I actually initially weight myself, but sustenance and continuous weight loss together is going to a big challenge.
