Rewind - unbelievable.

I just went through the whole blog from the beginning. The journey has been quite incredible and the best part is, now it has become second nature to have frequent small meals and be on a workout. I went from 122 kgs to now a healthy 77 kgs (from a low of 75 kgs, have upped the muscle mass). That's 45 kgs less! From probably 25% or higher fat to less than 12% fat (at the lower end of an ideal body percentage). I feel strong, look good and get into clothes that I could never have imagined that I'd fit into (size 32 Levis or even size 30 Calvin Kleins??? Unbelievable that I used to wear size 42 Levis just a little over a year ago and mostly couldn't find my size in any store).

Wow.

The only ideal thing I now have to add to the mix is cardio once or twice in the week, enjoyable cardio like swimming. And keep enjoying the food lifestyle.

Too much snacking, too much delay between meals

Now that work pressure has stepped up, regularity of meals is taking a hit and irregular snacking is turning up. Trying to balance it as best I can but occasionally there is that 5 hour distance between breakfast and lunch. Not acceptable. Eat small meals every three hours. Stress also seems to be adding to the need to snack in between meals with irregularity. Including on carbs at night, while having green tea. Milk or yoghurt disappearing as a nice night snack, being substituted by soup sticks and the like. Must check this tendency. And not the least, having dinner too late at night, not enough distance between dinner and bedtime. Must check! Each meal getting delayed by an hour or 90 minutes, not on. Small, frequent meals. Small portions. Low, measured snacking.
