Crazy Cholocate Binge! Last and final wake up call.

Absolute and total disaster, an unforgivable binge. What’s going on? This the last and final wake up call.

 

Target fitness.

 

Uncompromising, absolute diet control. Total discipline. Plan ahead. Sleep. Eat every 90 minutes. No garbage. Uncompromising. Work out 4 times a week. Slow return to fitness. Measure fat % and get down to 12%

 

Weight at 77 kgs.

 

Running 5.5 kms in 40 min including warm up by 1 Jan 2012, thrice a week.

 

Wake up call

Don't throw it all away. It was blood, sweat and tears to get here. Wake up call.

Back to fitness.

Absolute and total disaster

Sticking to the plan is becoming a problem. Ringing the alarm bells here.

 

1.      Eat every 90 minutes, meals in 3 hours, small portions often

2.      No indulgences, no garbage

3.      Sleep 7 hours

4.      Workout 4 days a week, gradual step up, no injuries

5.      Zero tolerance to indulgences for a month

Sugar binge

Good diet control since Diwali, four days but had a sugar binge with dates and prunes. Huge binge. Dates and prunes are very high sugar. Must watch this. Getting back on track will NOT be easy.

But it's okay. First binge. Make it the last.

About final indulgences. Turning point.

Have been writing about the final indulgence since 17^th October. But today, right now is the time. Either you can continue to deteriorate and fall into bad habits that will make fitness a psychological struggle again, or find that grit and steel and will to say no to indulgences and eat only for nutrition, not for comfort.

 

No indulgences. No garbage. Eat every 90 minutes. Work out 4 times a week – step up gradually. Avoid injury. Only good food. No greed. No comfort eating. Find comfort in workouts, clothes, reading, work, future plans (bikes, swimming), movies, music, activity, travel, learning.

 

And hold to this one. Diwali or not. Turn things around this Diwali.

 

See post of 17^th October.

 

Finally.

It’s like an addiction that can’t be broken, but I have to do something.

 

Finally. It’d done. I’ve had my last indulgence this year.

 

Back to discipline and fitness.

 

Eat every 90 mins. No garbage. No indulgence.

 

Nothing.

 

Rien.

 

No garbage!

No garbage! Eat every three hours! Small portions!

Last indulgence

I just had my last indulgent morsel. No garbage will enter my mouth henceforth.

 

Fitness.

 

Eat every 3 hours. No garbage. Prepare for it.

 

Gym 4 times a week.

 

Do it. Just.

 

Going on a year of no workouts

Okay, so it’ll be an year soon since you’ve been off your workout routine. Enough time out. The challenge now is to rebuild slowly. It takes time. Otherwise the metabolism is slowing, the rules are getting more and more lax, the indulgences have been phenomenal (quite surprised the body has managed to cope so far, but it won’t last – the fat’s beginning to show already). Let’s stop this degeneration and let’s begin with the basics.

 

1.      Consistent effort

2.      Start slowly and build

3.      Watch the diet and no unplanned indulgences

4.      Eat every 3 hours

5.      No garbage – no nachni chips or paan or amla

6.      Watch the cravings especially at night

7.      Plan your meals in advance for the day – no running out of options at last minute then panicking and making do with walnuts and dates at night

8.      Keep healthy snack options ready – milk, fruit, protein portions (fish, chicken)

9.      4 times a week at the gym a must

10.  Eat for the activity of the 3 hour period – taper the food pyramid – eat a heartier breakfast
