End of Challenge
When I started this, I wanted to see how much weight I can lose in the 50 days between Diwali 2010 and Christmas 2010. Well the answer was 7 pounds. I would have been happier had it been a wee bit more but I am not unhappy as I HAVE LOST 7 LBS!! I shall...
Bye Bye, Slimming World
Well I sent an e-mail yesterday to the team leader / consultant whatever you call her. I felt that the Slimming World approach and me don’t see eye to eye much. I will always be thankful that it gave my weight loss a kick start but I don’t think it is a methodology I can...
Exercise
So I started Jillian’s 30 day Shred today. The abs are worse than ever – I could hardly do the bicycle crunches at the end. My tummy muscles feel like I have misplaced them. Boy oh boy is there hell in store for me! I also gave this home walking thing a try. Apart from...
Week 3
Okay HUGE jump from day 3 to week 3, I know. But hey – good news! I lost 4 pounds the first week and at the end of the second week, I lost 1.6 lbs despite falling off the wagon a few times during the week, so I am well chuffed. And, I am under...

Exercise and fitness
Sedentary will describe my current lifestyle perfectly, thanksverymuch. Before the summer break, I was a member of the local LA Fitness gym; a meh sort of place, with outdated machines and all that but it had one thing I really liked – a kick-ass group fitness program called Body Combat. Body Combat was a mix...
Day 1 of the SW diet
I started the morning with my customary cup of coffee but with half the sugar. Half a teaspoon of instant coffee granules, a teaspoon of sugar and 160 mls of skimmed milk. Breakfast was a hearty one, with two eggs scrambled with no fat, a portion of Heinz baked beans in tomato sauce, a toasted...
Let the Challenge begin!
So this friend (let me call her M) and I decided to do a “Diwali to Christmas” weight loss challenge. We are both on the petite side and are carrying around 20 kilos in excess. After being unsuccessful at this slimming lark, we decided we shall join forces and try various things. We both started...
Restaurant Review: Wagamama, Lakeside
Wagamama Lakeside gets a big thumbs up from me. It is a place you can easily take your child to and still end up having a good time.
Smokin’ Baingan Bharta!
It is hard to believe now how much I used to hate brinjal as a child. As it was my dad’s favourite veg, the purple thing used to grace our plate more or less on a weekly basis. I was so tired of it that I was quite happy when the pater developed food allergies...
