WEIGH-IN PART 6

I have been a good girl this week. I did eat a few outside food, but I made sure the amount wasn't a lot. Since I was out of home quite a bit this week; I had to eat outside!  

The week did not start off so well as I suffered from a severe stomach upset the first two days. But, the rest of the week was quite uneventful. 

Today was the start of something important in my life, which will culminate on 23rd. I am hopeful it will be all positive. Let's see! 

Today was rather exciting. 

I met my school friend after almost 12 years! She was my first friend. 

We had fallen out of touch for a while but recently reconnected. It was great to see her after so long. She looks so different from the last time I saw her, but she talks and smiles the same way! It made me miss the good ole' days! :) 

Since the year has started, old friends of mine have been getting in touch with me one way or the other. It feels a bit surreal!

More on that later, I am way too sleepy to function right now! 

Tata!

WEIGH-IN PART 3

This week has been quite bad. I haven't followed any proper diet or exercise regime. I think at one point I couldn't even eat properly. I have had nightmarish sleep almost every day due to blocked nose and body aches. I actually do not remember most of what happened this week. 

I had a fever, bad cough and cold, heavy periods and now swollen tonsils. And, all of these together really did a number on me! I haven't been this ill for a while. 

I am much better now but extremely weak and have lost my appetite (which is a big deal for me, I live to eat!). I am eating so that I do not become any weaker. 

I honestly don't have any real numbers for today. But, since today is weigh-in day, I thought might as well do it. 

I am going to take rest for the next few days and make sure am back to normal health. I actually am missing my daily walks and interval training sessions. 

Anyway, hoping to recover soon.

Tata! 

[Note: Due to my swollen tonsils my neck measurements will be a lot more than what it should have been.]

WEIGH-IN PART 2

This week I have been a little better with my exercise. I tried to make sure I walked at least 4000 steps a day and put in 20 minutes of some other form of exercises like weight lifting or interval training. I even finished 10,000 steps on one of these days.

Food wise, it was not a good week. Neither has it been a good week of sleep. I am still having trouble with my sleep pattern, and it seems I get around 2.45 hours of sleep on average. This has been a lot less than what I should get or try to.  

I have noticed a direct link between my lack of sleep and overeating or eating the wrong things. So, I have to fix one thing to fix the other. -_-

So, that will be something I will have to get a check on. 

I have not lost any weight or do not see any significant changes in the loss of inches on my body, but there has been a decrease of Body Fat by 1% which makes me happy and hopeful.  

My periods have started again; I was told that due to the hormonal issues and the medicines I am taking, this might happen. Today the pain has been crippling. I was bedridden most of the day. 

I did try to walk around for a bit and did some household chores to keep my body moving. 

Well, here is hoping that I better my numbers next week! 

Tata!

Weigh-In Part 1

I am a ridiculously stubborn person. I know what is right for me, and I know the exact solution to many of my problems, but I do not follow them. I do not know, why!? 

Why Arunima, why, why are you like this? Why-why-why? 

So, anyway, I have decided that I need to be held responsible for my health. (Yes, that is how much I care about me, I need to be held accountable on a social platform or else I am just too lazy to take care! Ain't I the beacon of humankind?) 

This is, of course, for none, other than ME. But, apparently, this is the only way to get my brain to understand. I hope!

So, about 18 days back, I started my 'need to get fit' routine, but I haven't kept an account of anything much. So, I have decided to keep a tab on it from now on.
 
Fridays will be my 'weigh in' day. Last time I had measured was 18 days ago. Since then I have lost 2 kgs and 4% body fat. I have also lost a few inches from different parts of my body. Whoopee! :D

Though the progress is not that bad, I have not been able to get my food routine in control. More than often I eat things I am not supposed to and in quantities, I am not supposed to. 

I have been exercising almost every day, either walking or some form of cardio and, in between, also did some weights and interval training. But, they have been very Hodgepodge. 

I want to make it more regular and a little more planned. I do have a proper meal plan and an exercise plan which I had followed once earlier which were made by experts in the field (I mean a trainer and a dietician). 

I have even done my research and modified it to fit my current dietary requirements and exercise needs. I just need to follow it correctly! 

Well, here is to hoping my brain is reading this as I write it. (Yes, I think I am two persons in one, I contradict me more than anyone I have ever met.)

Anyway, these are the stats:

Date: 13/01/2017

• Weight: 87.1 Kgs
• Body Fat: 52%
• BMI: Obese Class 2
