Watch the trends. Very Alarming.

Read back the previous posts. They will show the trend, which is very, very alarming. All of them are about overindulging and bingeing, snacking on carbs at night or taking too many liberties during the day, whether it is allowing too much of a gap between meals or snacking too much.
 
It's very worrying that despite addressing this repeatedly in the blog, I am unable to address this successfully.
 
This could lead to losing much of the gains made so far.
 
All is not lost yet. am back at the gym, so hopefully will be back at the weights in a couple of weeks, if I manage to go regularly for cardio over the next two-three weeks and feel my body is ready. My shape has not been affected very badly, so far though there has been lots of muscle loss and I am not looking as trim as I used to. but only this far and no more. let's clamber back up to the top, it will make you feel good about all the rest that's been going wrong.
 
All is not lost if I control it consistently over the next two-three months. Then I can take a little break.
 

Not able to stop the bingeing at night

Nothing seems to be holding up the late night (and therefore the worst) bingeing on nachni chips, bhel and protein bars – whatever is handy. It's at alarming levels and each day, I tell myself it is the last.
 
Well, today is truly the last. Tomorrow is 1st March, when I begin my seriously fanatical dieting post 9 PM. Am managing fine during the day so far.
 
Must do it while I still remain reasonably in shape, although a little bit has already started showing around the mid-riff. Along with the gym routine, the diet especially at night, is terribly important.
 
Have to stick to it.

Day two excess

All going reasonably well on day 2 of gym - just walking, but minding the diet reasonably. But at night, polished off almost a full packet of chips. Ruined the diet, went off the wagon. It's important to be consistent and resist these excesses.

No more excesses. No matter what.

And gym 5 days a week. A MUST.

Indulgences now irrational

Today is the LAST day of indulgence.
NO snacking on carbs and protein bars late at night.
NO indulging in laddoos and jalebis because they're in front of you and it's daytime.
NO 4 hour gaps between meals.
NO relaxation on Indian food and such things as chicken curry, being made with very little oil.
NO skipping gym.

Once this is back on track, then we'll take stock. Else it's a bulging midriff, to start with.

Churros day

Sinful evening meal of mayo chicken sandwich grilled oily-ly and churros with melted chocolate (!!!). Truly all the rules are broken. Stop NOW. Last indulgence. Return to healthy eating.

Broke diet rules again.

This is getting serious now.

Bad enough that because of the Raju meeting there was a 4.5 hour gap between meals and a late dinner, but once again snacking late at night has become a regular affair. Have to get back on track with a sensible diet plan and follow fairly rigorously.

Binging, indulging and depression

Bad moods, depression and bad circumstances as well as lack of sleep becoming an excuse for cheating on the diet, indulging in sweetmeats, late night cheats – and to ridiculous levels; even up to the point of the bad old days when I was 40 kgs heavier. Nightmarish.

 

Today was the last day. Have to hit the gym tomorrow. And sleep well. No matter what.

Indulgent Binging

Just had an emotional binging session on khajoor and anargoli. Given the distress I’ve been going through it may seem okay. But it’s not. Things will only get worse. Discipline will make it better. Indulge, but only just a little, a tiny bit.

 

This is the LAST indulgence. Anyway there’ll be many challenges over the next days.
