My weight loss story- daily exercise routine

My most problematic areas were bums and thighs. though also got a little fluffiness around my stomach but my concentration was my lower body. So I have followed an exercise routine which  basically focused on my problematic areas.
I divided my exercise routine in two parts. let me make it simplified with the help of an chart

           
My exercise routine:

Time I devote daily for exercise : 30 mins

How I divided exercise routine:  Mon, wed, fri (concentrate on my thighs and stomach )

                                               Tues, thurs, saturday (concentrate on my bums and stomach).

Anything Before and after exercise : I used drink one glass hot water after my exercise and prefer taking bath with luke warm water.


Now a detailed description about my daily exercise which consist of

out of 30 mins I keep 15 mins for warm up , 
10 mins for core problematic areas exercise and
 5 mins for stretching.

1. Warm up exercise: For my warm up exercise I opted for skipping and tapping. I started with 50 skipping and carried till 250. Daily I tried to add 25 to my last day number. Supposively if on Monday I did 50 , than on Tuesday I tried to make it for 75.

Also I used to tap for one minute initially and increased it up to 3 minutes. Hmmm.. Tapping means trying to raise your knees upto to your chest. like you would have seen in recent "Bournvita" advertisement..(isse jeet ki aadat tablagegi jab mai ise jeetne dugi) Remeber how that small kid use to tap his feet..yeah the same way

Also i tried not to take longer intervals between my different exercise.

2. Main /Core Exercise:
will update in my next posts

3. Stretching: This is the best part of my exercise. Mainly I do stretching of my thighs, hands and neck.

my weight loss story- How to Avoid your favorite foods

There are many times when you want to eat your favorite food as well as want to avoid it as that's not healthy for you. This situation really gets tougher if you lack will power and keen to eat it. Same thing used to happened with me as I love to eat junk and street food. To be very honest I can't live without eating street food for a day but however I tried to avoid it. Here are ways which worked for me:

1. Delay in Eating: keep delaying the food you want to eat . It means I keep myself busy and think of eating only after completing my task .Till that time either I am very tired or not at all keen to get it and than eat it.

2. Eat slowly: try to eat as slowly as you can or while 

3. Share it. I try to share y food and that too bigger part

4. Walk and eat. I try to eat while working or walking. This way my concentration is more on my work or walk than just chewing down the food.

5. away from your reach: never keep your refrigerator/ kitchen flooded with junk foods. There is no need to keep monthly stock of junk foods expecting some guests who hardly use to come.

6. go for the substitutes like whenever I want to eat some snack I try to eat fruits, i replace tea with hot water, sweets with toffee and others.

7. keep a fixed quantity. Instead of munching something from the packs try to take down a small quantity in bowls.

Weight loss , Part III

let me tell you one funny incident of my fatty healthy days.. Once there was a boy's family who come to see my sister (my sister is about 4 years old than me). Being younger I went to serve the snacks and all.. After seeing me the boy's father slowly exclaimed to my uncle "Don't you think girl is little bit healthy" :P  and my sister was just behind me.

. I felt so ashamed and inclined to loose weight.

Ok.. gone are those days. So if you are also keen to loose weight than these are the few questions that you should answer .

1. What is your target?? means set a target to get slim. I purchase a two size small jeans and decided to get fit into it.

2. Why you want to get slim?? u should know the reason and take it as challenge.

3. how much you love urself?? everything else holds secondary if you are in love with yourself and wants to look better/ smart.

4. Am I satisfied with my looks??

Don't forget in a healthy body resides a healthy soul. If you are fat but active, satisfied and free from diseases that don't worry about others as ultimately its you who is the most important.

Weight loss - Myths, Part- II

You know world is divided among two kind of people. One who are fat and others who are thin. Fat people though happy the way they are  as they can eat anything, suppose to be good humors but these thin people don't like them at all. They always pretend as if  they are superior, advice  and taunt you like anything. huh !!
These are the one who make you eager to lose your weight. Someone like this only motivated me.

First of all lets discuss some myths  associated with weight loss:

1. going to gym.. According to many people Gym is strictly no as people gain weight after this which is 100% wrong..balance well between your diet and exercise and this will never happen.

2. weight training. gals should not do weight training as this can lead to loosing of skin which is also not right. weight training done under instructor's advice may lead to tightening and toning of your body.

3. strict dieting . you should follow strict dieting if you want to loose your weight which is also not true.

4. Avoid eating food you like. Sweets, fried food should be avoided but if you love them like me than what you will do ?? I suggest you to eat  everything but in small portions and once in a fortnight.

Also though I read many articles, blog on weight loss but i am never so good in calculating my calories. So I eat what I like but in small quantity.

My Weight loss story, Part -I

Today I will share my weight loss story which is indeed very influencing..

I have never been a slimy gal. like typical baniya's  love to eat a lot. Nobody will believe when i say few years back I was of around 85+kg.

Reasons for my excessive weight:

1.That mainly due to i was diagnosed with softening of bones due to lack of calcium and other necessary Vitamins in the body. My Ortho prescribed me with heavy diet full of milk, paneer (Cheese) and many tablets.

2. I always used to say I am fat because of my parents because I never saw them very slim types :P

3. lack of exercise and physical movements. I was and am always a very active kid/ lady, so it never bothered me that i should do or I lack physical movements.

4. I am always very fond of cooking and so I of eating. Love to try every new dish and cook fried items.

5. There used to be large number of guests which result in variety of breakfast and large number of tea intake.

6. i love eating outside..fond of  street foods

Problems I faced due to my excessive weight:

1. If you are fat than no one can save you from sarcastic remarks. The worst thing is that even those who are slightly better than you will give you  their expert advises.

2. Even best of dresses look worst on me and could not imagine myself in western dresses ( though i love to wear them).

3. Lack of self- confidence, aloofness

4. Get easily tired .

5. I feel ashamed whenever I have to try some new dresses and that doesn't fits me..:(
