Overeating!

overeating! again! usually it's gorging on snacks - this time on chana - but right after the evening meal. not done. check it.

Missed workout and carb snacking during the day

Missed workout yesterday because the cold continues. So now, I've missed
20th, 24th and the 27th October sessions, went for the 22nd October
session, perhaps unwisely so, for a legs workout. Will next be working out
on 29th October.

I've also been snacking on carbs during the day - usually just chana and
boiled corn, but adding carb to the diet. Only good thing is it's been only
during the day. No carb snacking at night over the last two days, which is
a great thing. Stick to it.

Nachni chips problem

Once again, unwittingly had too many nachni chips - this time with dinner. Combined with missing workouts because of cold, it's disaster. Now nachni, or any other chips BANNED after 6 PM.

PS

PS - missed the workout yesterday because I had a cold type of condition, wise. But try and focus and stay well - have not done cardio for a while also because of foot injury fears. Slacking up a fair bit - buck up!

Getting slightly lazy? and Replace bread with roti

Small things - missed proper meal at noon today, eating bread instead of nachni roti despite having a choice. Getting lazy are we? Buck up, buying new clothes only if body keeps improving!

Generally speaking must lessen the bread and increase the roti intake instead. More roughage and less maida (even brown bread has 10-20% maida)

Dinner too heavy

Dinner is getting too heavy as a meal esp worrisome on non-workout days. Including snacking on carbs - chips etc. If you need to maintain that flat stomach, caution! Maybe grab an apple after the evening meal - keep you feeling full.

Lavash at night!

Just had a whole packet of lavash at 2 am.

Carbs at night - the best way to lose shape on that body you've worked so
hard to get.

You've had a easy week with a little bit of cheating, now back to the
basics.

Any cheating to be done during the day. The night is for sleeping!

Indulgence over dinner and no workouts

Missed 1 workout last week because of Diwali. Missed 1 this week because of a cold. Shite. On top of which I'm indulging in dinner, nachni chips being the main culprit. Apart from that there is no real scaling down of the diet because of the fact that I'm missing the workouts. Not a huge problem; overall I've been a good boy. But I just need to ensure any indulgences are not at dinner time, they should come earlier in the day. Be very strict at dinner. Light, easy. Carry a portion of nachni chips to office if you want to indulge.

And don't miss the next workout.

Also, now I'm getting serious about learning swimming by 31st Dec, 2009.

Disciplined Diwali

Very disciplined Diwali by and large - just missed out on sleep on Sunday night because of an early flight and had a spot or two of kheer. Otherwise stellar. Just need to make sure you eat every 3 hours and you should be broadly good.

Out of rhythm

Messed up on the eating because of a routine change - the principle is simple: eat every 3 hours and snack in between! Ended up eating chips at night because there was a 4.5 hour gap between the evening meal and dinner - albeit with a snack of apple and boiled egg white in between. Careful on this count, and even if there is a gap, mind the carbs at night and eat sensible (even if large) portions!

Old habits die hard

How easily meal habits can be disbalanced! Because a couple of meals got delayed, I went back to the slight madness of eating - with Ragi chips this time, straight AFTER a bagel full meal! Had to consciously stop myself halfway through. Great care! Take great care and eat on time! And no
needless snacking!!!

Chana at night

Chana may be a great food but they're still carbs and one should limit/stop
consumption at night, especially at least 2 hours before going to bed.

Ankle twist

Sprained my ankle/achilles tendon very slightly a couple of days ago,
during a 10 minute run at 12 kmph on the treadmill after an upper body
workout. Have to be careful and warm up for a run even if I have worked out
in the gym.

Being prudent and missing the legs workout today to rest it. Discretion is
the better part of valour. Fitness is about next year, not next week.

Too little eating during the day (pre-workout)?

Need to check - am I eating enough (especially on workout days) during the
day? Very important to eat well balanced but nutritious meals pre-workout
all through the day, or else I end up compensating by eating more
post-workout (which means I end up eating more at night than during the
day). Not ideal. Eat well, especially the pre-workout meal. You're no
longer in weight loss mode. You're in muscle gain mode. The better you eat,
the more power you will have and the better you can workout.
