A new start

Posted on Oct 31, 2008 4:09 PM

The best part about myself is that I am always upbeat about everything related to me. And when I start something new or fresh, I more like a child. I like my child like enthusiasm and curiosity. Even people say that I still laugh like a child.

A lot of cleaning

Posted on Oct 30, 2008 9:12 AM

I hav eto clean my fridge today. but I am just avoiding it. I do not know why. I just want to remeber all those good things in life right now. I just want to lie down in bed watching T.V. , rolling in my comforter. But most of the times , I am really a very good procastinator. I do not know but this trait is embedded in me right from childhood and tehre is one more thing --that is hoarding, I keep collecting things and never using them .Just collecting and I also distribute my collections , rather than using them.This is very strange, but it is there.

A mixed feeling

Posted on Oct 30, 2008 9:05 AM

In the early morning , I was very optimistic, but just now I am having mixed feeling. I was getting nostalgic about those childhood memories. My father always used to say that once you will be grown up, you will remember this time all your life. Now I realise how correct he was and what did he mean by that. I still can smell those fresh , crisp soap fragrance during getting ready for school. Sometimes I also feel that crisp air on my face taht I used to feel when walking to the school. O those times.

yesterday night

Posted on Oct 29, 2008 9:54 AM

yesterday night, everything went smooth. I loved it, I enjoyed it, the memory is so fresh in my mind . Except one thing , I felt that I am looking fat, or the right word is fatso. though I was not I was full due to water, the tummy bloated I felt very bad. very bad. I wanted to do something there and that point , but I did not know what to do. Then I analysed my whole routine and it is perfect. Now it will take some time for gaining that figure and shape. Though now I feel much lighter than before. And I love being feeling that lighter. I thinkI have lost inches and body fat. I have not lost weight yet except one or two lba. I think i will lose all that very soon.

Today

Posted on Oct 29, 2008 9:44 AM

today is one of the most beautiful days . I am enjoying it. It is chilly outside. I think that it is universal that when you embark on any project , and a little setback leads to frustration, or pessimism --like , it is waste of time and efforts on this project, nothing can be done. For me I just wasted my time like taht .Now I realise taht if I had put effort from the day one when I realised my problem area. I would have done with it and by this time I might be focusing on something else. But there is always space to rectify mistakes and move on.

Now

Posted on Oct 27, 2008 2:42 PM

I am at that age where hesitation, ego has very little place, the kind of hesitation that we used to have as teenagers or early youth has no place at this age. Now I am more open in talking to people. I feel that no time should be wasted . We already have wasted so much part of our life in not creating relationships, friendships with people. Now is the time open up some more. It does not mean making yourself an open book, but it means --sharing .

I am happy

Posted on Oct 27, 2008 10:54 AM

Today I am happy. I am happy due to a major attitude change during the weekend. I was watching a movie and then I realized that the message inherent in the movie was relevant to me. Why spend life in missing what I do not have right now!!!!Then spend rest of life in regretting about what I missed.What is the point of living like this? So I decide dto not to miss what I do not have , and start enjoying, or fully participating in whatever activities are available to me. And once I had this attitude shift, I was more happy and relaxed.

About depression

Posted on Oct 24, 2008 12:41 PM

One thing I have noticed in women is that most of them have some kind of underlying depression, in varying degrees.Sometimes the depression is so subtle that they cannot even recognise its' presence. There are many reasons about this secretive underlying depression in women. One of the main reason is the way society treats women .We are lucky that we are living in such great society, but still there are some undertones of ill-treatment evident everywhere.

just like that

Posted on Oct 24, 2008 11:40 AM

I was talking to somebody .And I really enjoy when somebody shows that keen interest in activities that I do. Today I just want to leave home for a nice walk outside home. Sometimes I feel taht I should do something else besides housekeeping, then I see towards my life and I think that people work all their life looking forward to have some time of their own some day. and I am already havingthat I am bit confused about that. I know only this much that I am living my life . I also hav eput my whole faith on god . Now I have strted praying regularly . I realise HIs Presence everywhere.I am delighted.

shopping and loneliness.

Posted on Oct 23, 2008 11:58 AM

For past few days I have noticed that my shopping thing has gone down. Now I do not fel like shopping at the drop of hat. The reason is that now I have started sharing with somebody . That sharing has fulfilled my need for companionship somewhere and this in turn has positive effect on my shopping . Now I do not feel like shopping unnecessarily. I did not realise it before. So now whenever I feel like shopping unnecessarily, i will check within rather tahn checking out at the cash register.

Affirmation

Posted on Oct 23, 2008 11:52 AM

Yesterday my son wanted to eat at afast food chain. Though I also like their junk food, but yesterday I did not want to eat that junk food at all. So the moment we were on our way to the fast food, I kept repeating myself ,"There is nothing here that I can eat". I repeated this many times to myself onthe way and till the time we ordered. And it worked. by hte time my husband was about to order , i found myself telling the family that I did not want to eat anyhting here as this food is unhealthy for me . To my surprise , they all understod my position and in fact my husband did not order anything for himself either as he thought that we were in the same boat as far as the age was concerned. i was happy and happy and happy.

A new lighter body

Posted on Oct 23, 2008 11:46 AM

Yes, I am enjoying my new lighter body. I feel active and I can also run. Now my cravings for unhealthy food has stopped.now I crave for healthy food as much as possible. In fact, many times I find myself pondering over what to eat. With children, the house is full of all kind of junk food. I mean, those food items are not junk for that age, but for people of my age, they are junk because they are unhealthy.

In the morning

Posted on Oct 22, 2008 3:51 PM

In the morning, I could not log into my account, but could not. At that time I wanted to write about something specific.But now it has slipped out of my mind. Now I have started waking up early in the morning once again. Yesterday Icould not go for a walk in neighbourhood. I was feeling empty. but today I will go. I never realised before that some people cannot dance at all. The art that is so natural to some of the people , is totally a new skill for them. for some it is hard to learn dance at any age.

Songs

Posted on Oct 21, 2008 2:04 PM

Songs and music have a specific historic function. If we are not able to recall the timeline of some events of our life, we refer to songs at that time and , all the memories come back with a time range . this is great. These days when I listen to some song, I instantly recall about the time when this song was hit, and I remember teh time of my life like if I was in school or college , the grade I was in and some other related memories of that specific period.

Time is flying

Posted on Oct 21, 2008 12:11 PM

Yesterday , as I was watching T.V. I suddenly realisedthat the time is flying these days. when I was in school, I used to think That time is lsow, I am not getting bigger, when will I reach college. .By the time I was in college , those years were appeared too long to passs. I used to think when will I start earning. Then once I got married , during first six years, time was still slow. And now time seems to fly , faster and faster. And since I have stepped into my thirties , time is flying too fast to catch. Sometimes i feel that I am standing still and time is passing by as scenes pass by when you tavel by trasin. You can see things passing by but you cannot do anything. life is too short to let it fly like that.

yesterday

Posted on Oct 21, 2008 12:03 PM

Yesterday instead of following my walking routine, I played/practiced soccer with my son. First of all I liked it verymuch.Second my son was very happy that his mom was playing with him . Third , the time spent together led to further bonding between all of us. I enjoyed it thoroughly. The effect was so profound that my son was happy till he left fro school this morning. He ate his dinner , he talked to me a lot . He went to bed with a smile on his face. he woke up with a smile on his face. what else could a mother ask for!!!!!!111

Step-by-step

After that injury,now i am quite careful about doing exercise. I am doing it gradually. That is pretty fine. That experience of rushing into has frightened me enough to try anything fast.

Yesterday was one of the memorable days in my life. It again proved that stubbornness leads to no where. Whatever happened yesterday, is s till fresh in my memory and , is still haunting me. Never be stubborn, atleast in cases where you can see loss to you.

Jai pausch

Posted on Oct 17, 2008 1:55 PM

I read the book The last lecture by Randy Pausch. It was written in such narrative form that I read the whole book in one sitting. After reading the book , I felt like writing to author about my views,Then I realised my helplessness in doing so. HOwever, advanced we have become technologically, but still there is no method through which we can communicate with people in the other world.Then I tried to felt the helplessness of the spouse in such asituation. Frustration, anger, irritation, helplessness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.I could not go beyond these . It was very limiting thought and feeling.

Posted on Oct 17, 2008 1:45 PM

I do not what happened but I logged into my blog yesterday, but for some reason did not feel like writing anything.Sometimes I feel so much overwhelmed by God's presence in life that it brings tears to my eyes. Yesterday night , we were discussing our next life. And both of us felt that nobody has a better spouse tahn ours and we want each other again in our life.I am too emotional to continue---------------

Topic close to my heart

Posted on Oct 15, 2008 11:42 AM

Is not it enough for all of us that those animals are sacrificing their
lives to keep our stomach ,tastes , cravings,and appetites full
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Why do we need to torture them , the freedom that
GOD Almighty has given them , who are we to deny that freedom
!!!!!!!!!! In fact , human is more dangerous than that ferrocious lion
in the jungle.We not only kill living beings of other species , but we
also kill other humans, No animal has this kind of distinction , they
kill only when their life is in danger , very much unlike humans , who
, sometimes, kill without any danger to them.

Last week I had this excruciating pain , I ignored it and now the pain is worse. i must take care of it , otherwise it would be out of my hands.

Regarding my eating , i have improved a lot.Now I do not like to eat the unhealthy stuff at all. and that is remarkable on my part , considering my past record.

want to eat

Posted on Oct 9, 2008 2:04 PM

Right now i want to eat without any hunger, so I decided to write a blog post. As I am writing I am feeling full and I do not want to eat anymore.Instead I want to drink water. I was taking thirst as hunger. Yes , I want to drink water. I am maintaining my exercise log very well. Now I know very well the difference between real hunger and just hunger or craving. So most of the time I am able to stop myself from overeating or just satisfying my craving.Yesterday we went toa restaurent. But I was full with water , and moreever I did not find anything fat free so I decided to not to eat anything there and came home victorious.Yes. that is a victory for me.

planning

Posted on Oct 8, 2008 2:21 PM

Today I have planned to read all my blog entries thoroughly , while reflecting on each on eo fthem. this would give em an insight on where I am going? Sometimes reading thoughtfully rather than writing helps a lot.

I am also planning to make an exercise log in which i could jot down whatever efforts I made for being fit and active. i think that it is a good idea, though I have never logged anything before except this blog. Making a food log sounds so impractical to me that I never started the food log, but I want to try this exercise log , let me see what happens

wanted to write

Posted on Oct 7, 2008 2:05 PM

i wanted to write so badly today. Yesterday I realised that I was not putting my efforts .I actually did not know how to push myself beyond. Results would not materialise in any field until and unless oneself pushes oneself Beyond. And I am not doing exactly that. I was very happy in my own comfortable limits. I did not want to come out of my comfort zone. But now the time has come to change myself, to push mself beyond that comfortable zone.

I have bookmarked it and now I am cheerful because I know that I have not gained any weight.

I am blessed

Posted on Oct 6, 2008 8:50 AM

I am blessed in all other aspects of my life except weight. If I lose weight , that would be one of the best things in my life. But some how I am not able to understand this , I am not able to convince myself to lose weight. I know and understand advantages of losing weight , but still I do not know and understand the reasons about not wanting to lose weight. It is a battle within. and this is the hardest battle believe me , itis much harder than losing weight.

reasons of not being serious.

Posted on Oct 6, 2008 8:46 AM

Yesterday I was disturbed so I decided to analyze the reasons behind not losing weight. I am not that serious about losing weight because I think that if I am healthy , without any disease , why should I bother to lose weight. THis kind of line of thinking prevents me from putting myself completely into this. But I know this line of thinking is wrong, why to wait for something bad , before taking any step!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This is stupid and immature.

Serious

Posted on Oct 6, 2008 8:41 AM

I needed to be extra serious , if I have to lose weight.What i do is I stay ontrack for sometime , the moment my clothes are loosened , I become too happy to continue my efforts. Then the weight comes again , but some more than before. And this cycle gets repeated. TO lose weight I need to break this cycle.I must not get bothered about scale, instead I must keep continuing my efforts until I achieve my target.

so much to write

Posted on Oct 6, 2008 8:30 AM

today i am writing after 5 days.Now I have something to write.Yesterday I shopped for jeans , but to my shock, size 16 fitted me , I used to wear size 14 earlier. I think that different companies have different sizes, that is why that difference in number of jeans occurred.I was very upset , then my spouse matched my size 14 jeans to size 16 jeans. They were same in size. That made me relax. But I was not able to sleep well till late night. I was thinking about my efforts , my dedication towards losing weight. It is just 25%, it needs to be 100%.

romantic

Posted on Oct 1, 2008 11:01 AM

I think being romantic also helps in curbing hunger pangs or cravings.When you feel romantic , it does something in stomach and you feel overwhwlmed by the emotion so much that you forget to eat or you do not feel any hunger or craving. this is just my observation, i do not whetehr it has some scientific basis or not.
