Well… my diet seems to be working kind of okay. I think I have lost about 12 lbs in last couple of weeks. I have never lost weight like this. Let’s see if this lasts. More likely than not, it will all come back. In fact, I am starting my new job this Monday ie 22nd Dec. I will have to give up the diet completely in the beginning and then will have to modify it. It does make me feel weak and energy-less. I have lost my temper a few times too. But apart from these problems, I don’t know how but I hardly have cravings.

I am eating mostly fruits, veggies and vegetarian proteins with no oil and no bread, rice, pasta etc. Though when I am too hungry, I add some oatmeal to my soups. For first few days I had only fruits and veggies. Now I think I am not eating enough fruits but more proteins. Anyway, all this will have to stop soon.

I will be working in a shift here. From 1:30 pm to 10:30 pm. It sounds odd and I too was a little unhappy in the beginning but it is good actually. I get to beat the peak hour traffic both ways which means saving at least a couple of hours from the commute. Also I can go to the gym in the morning, come back, have a unhurried bath and brunch and then go to work. I am planning to carry dinner which I will have about 8:30 pm and would try to make it no-oil and no-carb. I really hope I will be able to implement all these plans. Meanwhile I need to get a little set at work. I don’t really know what they are expecting me to do. I was interviewed for a post lower than the one I am joining at. So I am a bit unclear.

The long break is almost at it’s end. I had a couple of doctor appointments for my blood sugar. Most probably due to my dieting and also because of the medication, my sugar is rather under control now. Then I did have tons of free time which I mostly spent sleeping and reading. On one hand I am quite enthusiastic to join work as I was getting a little bored but on the other I feel sad that my lying around days are over. Anyways I was lucky to have any at all. R has more or less receded from my mind. The change of place has worked big time. Plus this city has something in the air which makes one feel hopeful and energetic.

That’s about all from me. Love you all sweet friends. Hope all our dreams and plans come true soon.
