Day 2
Eating still somewhat okay.
Breakfast - protein shake
mid-morning - one sweet (this time it would not have been difficult to avoid)
Lunch - 3 chapati + daal (thick lentil soup) + green papaya curry
Evening snacks - miss
Dinner - 3 chapati + cauliflower chilli (Should have eaten the tasteless sandwich, the cauliflower was oily. Will do better tomorrow. Wish could eat home cooked food instead of cafetaria stuff. But not sweating too much as once starting working out at night, won’t be there for dinner.)
2 cups of tea, 2 pieces of chewing gum, 1 liter of water
It was a crazy busy day today. I literally had meetings after meetings. Was feeling sleepy and tired from the morning anyway. Got so stressed by mid-morning, downed a couple of head ache tablets. I can at times feel the adrenalin rush in my head. Overall a productive day. Tons to do tomorrow. Ended the day with a team meeting. Thankfully the team meetings are fun and pretty stress-free for me and others (hopefully). After all announcements and action items, we started chatting about movies. One guy who was listening till then started taking notes. Got a good team going so far. Hope for the best. A girl’s marriage got fixed today. More sweets. I talked to my managers about changing my work timings. Both were cool about it. Let’s see how it goes.
Good that I didn’t eat too badly in the face of the stress. Also to be frank, just did not have time too. Hope trying to eat dinner more than 2 hours before sleeping time would help.
Lots of love and all the best.

Good Job in every respect, Ini! I would love to have a recipe for green papaya curry. It sounds healthy, too.
Your team sounds like a good one. That makes a huge difference, doesn’t it? Wishing you luck on the change to your work timings!

Sounds like you are on track Ini. Girl I know exactly how you feel about progress lost (when it comes to weight and about everything else too
but don’t despair because we will just keep trudging forward and our plow will get lighter and lighter.
Everything seems to take some major goddamn effort, but ultimately isn’t that what’s it’s about - struggle. No no, not to be negative or anything but seems that nothing is gotten very easy.
I’m not a proponent of saying, ‘Well the harder the struggle the greater the reward!’ AFter all, no struggle would be fantastic - honestly.
So hang in there Ms. Ini, here’s another: The long journey starts with one step!
Oh goodness, I am so full of it today.
Hmmm, maybe I’ll get around to doing my laundry - it’s only been about 4 weeks
Hugs!
