27 Jan. 2011



I slept late last night and consequently woke up late this morning. Naturally, the axe fell on the time allotted for exercise. But, I made sure I compensated for it.

So here's what I did…

Exercise update:
I climbed the 6 flights of stairs to office. Then I walked down right away and then walked back up again.

Food update:
9:00 a.m.            3 plain dosas, no chutney, no sambar + 1 cup tea
11:00 a.m.            1 cup tea
1:00 p.m.            2 phulkas + 1 bowl potato, onion, tomato curry + 2 tbsp curds
4:00 p.m.            1 cup tea
5:30 p.m.            2 slices of guava
8:00 p.m.            2 phulkas + 1 bowl green peas curry

So, I did well with the food today - no forbidden foods, I managed the timings too. Now I should stop passing off climbing stairs as exercise. Today it felt bad to read that. So today I am going to sleep early. This will take some getting used to !

Oh yes, there's one more improvement…although slight. Today I drank 1.5 litres of water in the day. Yes, yes, I know it's nothing to gloat about…but if you know my history, you'll know why it's big for me. Until a couple of years ago I used to drink barely 500 ml of water in a day. From that time to today, it is a big change for me. Eventually I'll reach 2.5-3 litres in a day, as is prescribed.

So, that's all for the day…see you tomorrow...with an actual exercise report :)

Yes, climbing stairs is exercise and good for you...any start is a good start and any movement is better than no movement. Good luck!

Thanks a lot Cath :)

I'll count on you to motivate me if I begin to slack.
