An intervention from the god

Posted on Jul 30, 2008 10:48 AM

I just finished my favorite dish--a full bowl.I cooked it , I enjoyed it.I was full and satisfied , but then out of my craving for more , i wanted to cook a second batch, though I was full and was fine without that second serving, in fact with the second batch , i would have overeaten.But still I wanted to eat the second batch.The GOD intervened and I got distracted from it and got engaged in something else.Thank you God for helping me out. God has helped me , give me strenght to help myself.

Starting afresh

Posted on Jul 30, 2008 8:31 AM

The show on staying young has changed a lot in me.I got that book on which that show was based .I am reading that these days.I am starting everything new or on a fresh level, things and changes that I will be bringing will be same but with a NEW and FRESH ATTITUDE. And I think that attitude is very important for everything, for every change that we bring in.I am in a fix about the form of diary --whether it should be big one like a planner or a small one that I can carry with me all the time in my bag.Also I am still not able to decide about the format of diary writing ---it should be on a day to day basis or it should be written according to the category.In addition to all this , should I also document my efforts , my changes on blog or should I keep them only in my diary.!!!!!! With the blog , some time I might not be able to document each and every detail

a simple cure for sleep problems

Posted on Jul 28, 2008 4:59 PM

Though I have been using this method for some years, but it never occured to me to write it in my blog.If I want to have the most relaxing sleep in the whole world, i sleep with my child , I keep my head on his chest , he curls around his arms around my neck or head , and I am in Heaven, that is the most relaxing place in the whole world, i feel Bliss and feel all the mental security in the world. Even when I am not sleepy at all, i place my head on his chest and within one minute , i fall asleep like a small baby, unaware of my existence or the existence of the outer world. Forget medicines or any other method , this is the best method and without any negative side effects, Please try it and you will end thanking up your child, and you will return for the experience. I forget all hassels and stresses of life. That is like sleeping with angel!!!!!!It is purely blissful .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

change of focus

Posted on Jul 26, 2008 7:50 AM

I started this blog as weight loss blog , but for past few days , i am noticing ashift in content of my blog posts. They are becoming more and more related to self awareness,philosophical purpose of life.Two days ago , I was talking to my husband about some t.v. program , suddenly we came on to our personal lives , and he told me that if I did not improve my health soon , this year our family is not going to celebrate my birthday. The thing that pinched me soo hard was about birthday, Believe it or not !!!I cried for two hours and since then I have been pondering over this that I was so much attached to the idea of birthday celebration that it pinched me more than any thing in the world.If I am so much attached to the idea itself, how much I am attached to all other things in life !!!!! I am also attached to my weight loss , somewhere in my mind , consciously or unconsciously , I strongly believe that I look more beautiful now and if I lose weight I will not look beautiful then ---I am paying more attention to looks than health, I am amazed at this discovery. I am feeling relaxed now , and i think I have reached to the real cause of my increased weight.

GOD IS WITHIN ME AND I AM SEARCHING IT EVERWHERE OUTSIDE ME

a new chapter in my life

Posted on Jul 24, 2008 4:03 PM

I want to live 100 years as a healthy and fit person. So from today I have started to take my vitamins , and I will also make sure that my family also is regular with them. They are important for us. I have also started maintaining a diary so that whenever , it is not possible to log on , I can track my progress there in black and white and keep getting motivated. These days I am focusing on getting up early in the morning so that I can mange my whole day effectively , without getting rushed into most of the things.

new ways of inspiration

Posted on Jul 24, 2008 3:47 PM

I watched Dr.Oz's show with much eagerness. and yes , there was lot to learn from that . That show gave a surety to people who have abused or are still abusing their bodies in one way or the other.He told that it is possible for us to reverse all the negative effects on our body just within three years maximum, I believe that this time period could be less depending on our individual conditions. the show was very motivating for me , who is determined to change life and be a basically healthy body. After the show I realised that it is not a fantasy to think to live for 100 years, IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!All of us can live 100 years.It has created a hope in me , a challenge to push myself to that limit of good health and fitness, thank you Oprah for bringing us such inspirational programs.

my eating habits

Posted on Jul 21, 2008 8:22 AM

Since I have started writing this blog , there is a sea change in my eating habits. Now I do not stuff myself. Now I do not stuff myself at all. I usually eat healthy food , I have stopped eating completely the frozen foods except ice cream,,I just cannot live without ice cream. I have left frozen foods because of hydrogenated oil in them. Now I do not crave chocolate (which I used to crave ), neihter I crave soft drinks anymore. I analyzed the reasons of drinking soft drink, the only reason for me was it was chilled , so now I drink ice-cold water instead of soft drink.In summary , yes I have improved a lot since this blog has happened to me.

I think this kind of confusion on all levels indicates some major changes in my life.In my opinion , this is the transition phase of my life. These things are motivating me to make a permanent change in my life. Whati was before 10 years , i have changed completely. Though there are some changes that i do not approve of , I have been living with them for past years. I do not know what life has in store for me, i know only this that whatever there is in for me , that is for my betterment.

Thinking a lot

Posted on Jul 18, 2008 8:39 AM

I was thinking in the morning that we expect everything to be according to our wishes or desires.But have we ever given a thought about our body, our own behavior towards us or others. We want to lose weight , to look beautiful or to be the most helpful or popular neighbour on the block, but do we really take trouble in achieving all these wishes or desires. No , atleast in my case , the answer is no , a big NO. When we ourselves do not work hard on our wishes , why should we expect these desires to be fulfilled by the others in teh world!!!!!This is a very big dilemma , and I do not have any answer.

I am confused

Posted on Jul 17, 2008 2:48 PM

I do not know whether it happens with others or not , but it happens with me often.I found myself pondering over the purpose of life . I am becoming older and older , but without any purpose. Few days back I concentrated on losing weight.And i succeeded in losing some weight , but after that I lost interest in that, and left it. I am not able to follow anything seriously.I sign up on many sites , then later on I lose track of all of them, due to sheer laziness.Then I decide that I am going to concentrate on teaching my child , but I have also proved lenient in that. Till date I have not been consistent in anything. I am not able to pursue anything seriously for a pretty long time. Earlier I was pretty consistent in everything I did , but for the past year , i have become quite careless about everything. I do not know what has happened to me. I have always been known as a determined person all through my life . But now i have become so much inconsistent taht I also become careless about blog wriring.

Today morning when I was hungry , instead of eating anything junk or unhealthy , i straigtaway ate my pre-cooke dlunch at 8:30a.m.It prevented me from dropping naything useless into my stomach .As a result I was not at all temmpted to eat anything stupid or anyhting unnecessarily.This one action saved me from later guilt.It worked for me , atleast today.Now at night I will have a glass of milk for calcium.

I did whole house cleaning, which I did nnot lately.I was ill.So I was too busy to think about food or related thngs. But it was very pleasing and confidence -builder.Once the whole house was clean and neatly organized ,, it was giving a feeling of heaven.And in such a heaven , how I could mistreat my body!!!!So the whole day went by nicely ,without any conflict.

instead of eating

Posted on Jul 7, 2008 1:44 PM

I have noticed that for past few days , I have started spending more than usual.I spend on everything I like at the first glance. I do not know why it i shappening! mayb e, now I try to satisfy myself with lots of shopping , instead of food .>If the things continue like that , I think I have to start a saving blog in which I wwould write about what I saved , rather than what I spent. once I am at a store , i keep spending , i keep collecting things in m cart and when it is time for check-out, I find very difficult to part ways with things in my cart and I end up paying huge amount of money,.But now I am in the process of finding out ways of not spending money , once i astore . If somebody has anyidea , please share with me.

today we woke up early to go to a hteme park.I was worried about my health rouitne, whether I would be able to stick toit or not. But by some Divine power , I was a ble to do well.I ate a very balanced meal including atleast one fruit a day thing also. No soft drinks, No chocolates. Nothing to sabotage my plan. I think that some Divine Power was with me on that day that did not let me stray from my eating healthy plan. But at teh end od teh day, i was too tired to wink.

As compared to previous day, this day was smooth.I was still recovering from last day's exhaustion. My house was still not straightened out properly.So I had lots of pending work. In addition to this , we were planning to go to a theme park on next day, so i had to make preparations for that too. So again it was a busy day.

This morning everything was bad, my husband got ill, he had bouts of vomitting and a sever headache , feeling like that the head would burst open. I gave him medication , then he went to sleep , and I got time to do my exercise.But after three hours of sleeping , when he woke up , he again had vomiting and that severe headache, Failing to get an appointment from the family physician, I rushed him to emergency,there in waiting line , agin he had severe vomitimg and he passed out. The only doctors took care of him ,After spending three hours in the hospital and getting a nod from doctor , my husband got discharged, we went back to home , My son had an appointment with the doctor,As soon a swe reached home from hospital, i rushed with my son to his doctor, I was already tired and making matter worse , the waiting period on that day was exceptionally long ( I still do not know from where all the patients came on that day).We waited for one hour before we could meet doctor, we were ontime for the appointment . After waiting for so long and keeping a tween occupied in the waiting room was too exhausting fro me , I was deas tired We left the doctor's clinic after ninety minutes. I was ready to hit the couch or bed.Then i reached hom efinding that my husband was still asleep due to medication, my house was in bad shae. I cleaned teh whole house , did dishes , then finally , I got time to eat something good , Then I ate pre-cooked meal . By the time I finished everything , my husband woke up and The again I got busy till late night.This day was very tiring and I di not get proper rest. BUT I STUCK TO MY HEALTH ROUTINE SUCCESSFULLY INSPITE OF ALL THIS.

It also gives me a sense of accomplishment.It make sme think that i am doing something positive for my health..It puts me into a place of an active person .

The main reason that helped me in sticking to my health routine was, that I have started liking the feeling of comfortably fitteed clothes as compared to somewhat tight -fitting clothes or that squeezed feeling in clothes. Now I like very much that comfortable feeling in clothes and I know its value and top o fthat I do not want to lose it. This feeling is priceless. I want to retain it forever. That ia why i kept my eating in control amd I exercised regularly except three days.
