Spring Focus - Day 10

  1. Drink 2+ liters of water - Yes
  2. Sleep 7 hours - plan to. Had about 6. need to do some catch up soon. feeling very sleepy this morning.
  3. Have low fat dairy - yes. Had the buttermilk.
  4. No carb at night - done. NO.
  5. Stick to planned meals - mostly. NO.
  6. Work out 3-5 times a week - not done. was too tired at the end of the 13 hour work day. really wanted to go to gym but need to work a lot tomorrow too. That wouldn’t have worked out.
  7. Work on de-stressing - not much. Went to work early. But got caught up with some issues and spent about 4 hours on that. And then had back to back meetings forever. Still loads left to do. Need to go early tomorrow again. Curiously I am not much thinking about it.
  8. Blog everyday with a status - done.
Not a very good day. But quite okay. Well, that was what I wrote last night. Then I had, let me see - piece of cheese, two tiny protein cookies (tasted like crap), big bowl of noodle soup with a lot of noodle and tons of salt, one more small but at least delish cookie. It was sooo stupid. I am feeling sick this morning (not emotionally so much but physically sick - got up with headache and bad feelings in tummy). Somewhat better now. But I still feel unrested. I couldn’t have my usual breakfast and had it at work - no major damage there. Anyway, what’s done is done. It was so not worth it. The noodle soup didn’t taste all that good plus I was reading so I didn’t notice the taste much too. Note to self - next time take a bath - it is way more pleasant. Of course my weight has jumped back to old friend 169. That’s not bothering me too much. It will get down again. What’s bothering me a bit is why didn’t I try to go to sleep straight after a bath or maybe some music to calm myself. I was quite happy whole day that the scale did show 165 lb (my goal #1 - I wanted it to stay for a few days before making it official). So I asked myself if I did this to sabotage my weight-loss. I don’t really think so. I think it was the stress I carried home from work. So anyway, not only for weight loss but for some peace and health, I must stick to my no-carb at night. It keeps me much saner. At least this has been a good lesson. Rant over and back to work. :)
I will get there. Wish you all beautiful ladies stick to your plan.

First draft plan

Current Weight – 170 lbs

Current BMI = 30.1

Goal BMI = 21

Goal Weight = 120 lbs

130 lbs will take me to BMI 23 = acceptable

Need to lose 50 lbs

Let’s aim 10 lbs at one go

At 2 lb/week, that’s 5 weeks. Let’s add 1 more week as buffer. So that’s 6 weeks

Today is 3/11/2010

by 4/23/2010 I will weigh 160 lbs, BMI = 28.3 (that will move me in to overweight category).

Weekly tracker on 3fc

To achieve this I will

· Work out 3 days a week

· Eat planned meals during week days

· Eat controlled quantity during weekends

· Will refine this plan every week

Immediate steps

1. Talk to Pawan to identify gym in Malad

2. This Saturday – plan a whole week’s menu

3. This Saturday – have a chat with mom to control portions. Have healthy snacks option handy

4. Read weight loss, work out, focus, motivation articles every day.
