My weight loss journey-3

 My weight loss journey-3


 I vaguely remember the first time I heard a snarky comment from someone after having my son. It’s happened so many times I lost track, not just from strangers, but friends, and family too. 

The unsolicited comments about my weight loss after pregnancy (which was a result of breastfeeding) changed me

I did not lose weight even after 8 months after my normal delivery.I couldn't hit the gym ,sprained my leg after 2 days of yoga 

Then I started my battle with my smart band which helped me  with my step count

Being a full time working mother it was tough but not impossible 

I started taking steps at my hospital ,walking whenever I got time,during the break between 2 surgeries when I was in the operation theatre.On outpatient days ,I walked  following my lunch.

So my mantra was walk walk walk. 

In the evenings I would take my son for a stroll in his pram.

Once  my son was asleep,I would continue walking until I reached my target.


Do whatever is possible within your limits.

Pandemic Workouts

 There has been an air of melancholy ever since the uncanny  pandemic has set in. Staying cooped up at home without much human interaction can be physically and mentally stressful.  Gyms are shut and outdoor exercise is off the table with all of your socializing happening on Zoom and Google meet .Doing easy home exercises during lockdown can be highly rewarding once you get the hang of it. It can become one of your lockdown solutions that makes you feel productive while making you fitter. Exercise has a couple of positive impacts on the immune system. According to a study , frequent physical activity can limit and delay ageing of the immune system. Other than the long-term effects, even a small amount of exercise can increase the production of natural killer cells in the body - these cells make up the immune system’s second line of defence. Exercising can also improve lymphatic drainage that can remove toxins and boost the body’s ability to fight off infections. Regular p...

Weight loss journey--2

  My 7 point mantra 1.Eat consciously. Eat whatever is going to give you energy and required nutrients. For eg- a pastry( 100 g) consumed is 500-600 cal ,made of all purpose flour( maida) and  icing made of refined sugar and cream,has hardly any nutritive value.To burn those calories you will have to run atleast 5 kilometers.So please think before you hog next time. 2.Eat home cooked food.I reduced  weight eating white rice ,so can you.You don't need to eat Quinoa to reduce weight!!! Our Indian diet doesn't make you fat ,its the junk ,the wrong eating habits topped up with  laziness thats makes you gain weight. 3.Eat seasonal  fruits grown in ur subcontinent. You need not eat exotic ,costly fruits. 4.Have a sustainable  diet plan.I do not believe in losing 10kg in 10 days kind of plan. Keto diet,protein supplements etc are short lived. Have a colorful and balance meal. 5.Walking is  the most sustainable exercise. Can be done anywhere ,anytime.Pe...
