Weight Loss with Loving myself..

Image
By
Weight loss for me is a touchy subject. Yes, I am little obese and I am still trying to shed my pregnancy weight. But, I feel trying to eat healthy (or I should say which don’t add to my extra deposit) makes me lonely.  Just imagine I am having boiled Lauki and my family having delicious Puri Sabji.  In these two years, I have tried many times to stick to my weight loss regime but I gave up every time. Reasons are many but mostly because I was unhappy eating all those boiled and tasteless food. 
Yesterday I came across a WhatsApp video in which actor Akshay Kumar is telling how we can save our coming lives from being shaky as most of the people today have an unhealthy lifestyle. After watching that video I thought for a while and I would say those points really inspired me to go for weight loss habits AGAIN. But I have a different ‘pilan’ (plan) this time. For next few months I am going to do below things for losing my weight without feeling lonely and troubled:
  1. Finding an exercise that hits my soul: Honestly, I don’t have time to go to the gym. And I always give this as the biggest excuse when it comes to doing workouts. Although cardio exercise like running is ideal for weight loss, however, that doesn't limit my options to running alone. Who likes to invest her time in something she doesn't enjoy? So I am going to dance every day for 15-20 minutes on peppy Bollywood numbers and that’s my favorite workout.
  2. I am not going to be obsessed about weight loss: Yes I will be doing many things for weight loss. But this doesn’t mean I should go mad about it. I am not going to scale myself every day. I would weigh myself only when it's necessary. To be frank, I am not going to rely on the scale for my progress. Instead, I would recognize how my body is feeling.
  3. Simplifying my life a bit: What a better time to rid myself of negativities than during this weight loss process? So I am going to clean my closet and give away extra clothes to needy people. I am going to make the distance from negative people of my life. This would be like detoxing my life. Having fewer complexities in life always help in focusing on important things.
  4. Find the right audience: Discussing my weight loss deal with my husband doesn’t seem a good idea to me. So I would go on this journey with someone who can understand me. Like my friend who is also working on losing her extra gains. And for the same reason, I am documenting my plans and sharing it with readers out there. It is said that there is strength in numbers, and taking on a weight loss challenge with others will give me the motivation I need to stick to the plan.
  5. Don’t care what others say: It’s my journey. And I am going to decide how I want to go through it. So I don’t care what others are commenting over my diet. I don’t need to change my lifestyle for anyone. I am doing it for myself and I want to stay happy throughout. So my plan my way.
  6. A Little cheating is allowed: I don’t want to beat myself for eating a piece of cake on my friend’s birthday. I know I should cut down my sugar intake but I want to ease into a healthier lifestyle slowly but surely. I once read somewhere that sometimes our stomach (and the smell of good food) can overpower our desire to stick to your healthier diet. So I would treat myself time to time during my trek.
  7. Write my goals: Writing is very powerful as it opens the doors which we never know. Writing down my goals and continuing to keep up on it can give me the clarity on I would need on the days ahead. I would write down my little achievements and all those challenges which come on my way.

Most importantly I want to love myself during this weight loss excursion and that’s going to be my biggest motivation. Fingers crossed :)

My 'Invisible' Accomplishments #DecadeHop #RRxMM

By
As we entered 2020, through this post I am trying to contemplate the coolest, most daring, and most significant feats of my life during the last decade. Now the more I regress my memory, the more I feel there are two types of achievements or accomplishments that I can ponder upon; Visible and Invisible. Visible ones are those that I can count on my finger like a parrot and others can nod also. I got specs on, married to a not-so-romantic man, produced a baby, started writing and added good 17 kgs in my body volume (I was 50 in 2011). However, there are many invisible accomplishments too that either I know silently or very few can assert. From 2011 to 2019, Who am I now From a coy soul to now an outspoken woman, the trek was not easy. I achieved it. From being a no-makeup girl to now a lipstick swatches observer, the transition was tough. But it happened. And from being a sweet hater to now a sweet lover, the change was mysterious yet occurred. And now I can die for Gulab Jamuns....

#MyFriendAlexa - Is Your Blog For Everyone?

By
A Bit of Introduction  Two months back, I joined a new company as a software project manager. And with this, I also shifted to a new city. I could not write much during this shifting time, as there were many other things that needed my attention on priority. With a new job, new city and a new house, I faced challenges of finding a new school for my kid, a new market where I can buy staple items and a new setup for my family which was in habit of living a comfortable life in Delhi. #MyFriendAlexa I took as an opportunity to proffer life back to my blog which was the most neglected entity of my world during this movement and adjustment span. My target is to write 8 posts for #MyFriendAlexa campaign in which 4 will make you a bit more compassionate person, and remaining 4 will make you more informed. The First Post Of #MyFriendAlexa  Coming back to the title of this post, I know you might be awed to read it. Of course, there is no discrimination who can read the blog...

A Letter to Teen Me - Passing wisdom about Motherhood

By
Dear Teen me, I know you have many dreams and aspiration for your future life. I very well understand the hard work that you are putting in for a bright career. I do admire your sense of identity and individualness. You are going great. However, there are few others things, about which I want to make you prepare well ahead.  Life is more than making your own path, especially when you are a woman. God has made women with additional responsibility for running this universe. You know which responsibility? It’s "Motherhood". I know that as of now you don’t have much understanding of this whole motherhood phase and what is being a Mother oneself. But, you see, you will be a Mother one day. And when you are a mother, you carry many other responsibilities on your shoulders other than just living for yourself. You are seeing Amma every day but that is the only single sided view of big Motherhood world. A mother lives for her child also. She lives for the dreams of her kids an...
