And yes I do have some good news. Im on the 3rd day of the GM Diet – All fruits and vegetables except potatoes and bananas. And I must say I have survived till now. Its not that tough really. What is really tough is the numerous number of people who come to you and politely tell you that this diet does not work. Maybe not! But in the quest for a smaller waist size, its totally worth giving a shot! So don’t let anyone dampen your spirits.<br />
<br />
3 days are over and I feel great. I skipped yoga and swimming today ‘cause I felt slightly nauseated early morning. I guess the side effects of the diet. But I did spend some extra time running in the gym. <br />
<br />
I’m slowly starting to despise vegetables too now lol. I had ALOT of watermelon and strawberries today, so I feel pretty awesome. Those are my favourite fruits ever! And I picked the strawberries just in time, strawberry season is coming to an end sadly .<br />
<br />
Here’s what I ate last night. Stir fried veggies. I think this has got to be the healthiest meal Ive had in a really long time and surprisingly it was immensely delicious. You can ask me for the recipe ‘cause its super easy and super duper healthy!<br />
<br />

And today’s lunch was kind of okay! I had a zucchini relish and some cauliflower. Im kind of a cauliflower hater-ish person. And a wine-in-food lover. So I was hoping my zucchini would turn out to be really exotic and tasty and the cauliflower really bland. But the exact opposite happened.<br />
<br />
Here’s the zucchini with cherried tomatoes, onions, capsicum, herbs and white wine. Was okay, I would probably rate it a 5 on 10.<br />
<br />

And this is the super tasty easiest to cook cauliflower. Oh wait I don’t have a picture. Lol. But I picked up the recipe from... oh darn I cant find the site link. LOL. But I can tell you I just stir fried tiny cauliflower florets along with little olive oil, salt and pepper, chives, dried parsley and some lemon zest. It was quite tasty for a health dish! I’d say a 7 maybe.<br />
<br />
And for the good news, I lost about 500 gms, lol half kilo! I said good news, NOT great news! But that’s not bad right? I’ll be back tomorrow. And I really AM dreading tomorrow. Its going to be the worst day! Milk and bananas*puuukeee*<br />
<br />
Wish me luck Good Night!<br />
<br />
ps: I had a cup of coffee with very little sugar. I don't know how thats going to affect my weight loss but i guess we'll find that out at the end of this week!Shereen D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07788518163168152748noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712563898057460140.post-90078509008694491032012-04-10T05:58:00.000-07:002012-04-10T05:58:15.247-07:00The Ultimate GM Diet!What's up everyone? I haven’t posted for so many days ‘cause Ive had better things to do! Whahahahah. Anyhu, lots has changed since my last post. Im going to dedicate this post purely to weight loss and no nonsense anecdotes!<br />
<br />
I started Yoga besides swimming. So my day goes something like 6 am yoga, 7.30 am swimming, 8.30 to 10.30 gym workouts and then breakfast. Surprisingly i don’t feel weak at all until the last few minutes of the work out! This week Im doing only cardio because Im on...wait for it.... THE GM DIET!!! How awesome is that? I know ive heard a lot of people who say it doesn’t work and all. But I still want to try it anyway. You will get first hand info from me right here! I will be covering all the days of my diet and the amount of weight I lost.<br />
<br />
So I got through day 1- ONLY FRUITS NO BANANAS. It was the worst experience of my life. I was disgusted with all the fruit intake. I desperately needed anything but a fruit. So in my opinion the first day is the worst. Lol. But Im saying that only because Im just on the 2nd day! I had watermelon, sweet limes, pineapples, chickoos and guavas! Have lots of watermelon its supposed to be the major weight shedder.<br />
Anyhow, outcome of day 1, I HATE FRUITS and I lost 1.5 kgs! Go me!!<br />
<br />
Today Im on day 2- VEGETABLES ALL DAY AND POTATO FOR BREAKFAST<br />
<br />
It was surprisingly easy for me. I found innovative ways to eat vegetables!! Not innovative but definitely not raw or boiled. According to the diet, a large boiled potato with a pat of butter is supposed to be breakfast. I skipped the butter, used olive oil and some herbs with a dash of salt and pepper with my sliced potatoes. It was DELICIOUS!! <br />
<br />

I had a salad for lunch, for the dressing I used little olive oil and a salad mix with no fat. That and a cup of masala corn. Dinner Im thinking stir fried veggies and maybe a broccoli with red peppers salad. Ill let you know how that goes tomorrow!<br />
<br />
I deserve this ‘cause I truly sinned last week.<br />

Come back tomorrow to find out my weight status and whether I even survived! Thanks for reading! Cheers.<br />
<br />
PS I apologise for the phone camera snaps lol, I promise i'll try and work something out!!Shereen D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07788518163168152748noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712563898057460140.post-11168191943912910222012-03-28T23:15:00.000-07:002012-03-28T23:15:19.723-07:00Cardio Crazy!Hello losers. I meant weight losers. Lol *facepalm at own joke* the weekend is almost here, how does that make you feel? Well offlate i don’t think i like weekends. Because they are just excuses to gorge. So this weekend Ive decided to not do so and have simple dietary food as much as possible<br />
<br />
Ive also pimped up my gym routine. I do more reps, heavier weights and on cardio days, I just do extra cardio. My usual routine is Upper body, lower body and cardio on 3 different days. And I usually do about 15 minutes of cardio even after weight training to burn more calories. Im going to increase that to about 30. I actually have already been doing that since last two days. Oh and the elliptical is my favourite machine, and the fastest way to break a sweat!<br />
<br />
Oh here’s what I made this week. Its not exactly healthy, but its really really tasty. You can keep it as your weekend option!!<br />
<br />
Chicken Bread<br />
<br />

2 days left for the weekend. Hang in there! Till my next post, cheers!Shereen D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07788518163168152748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712563898057460140.post-90902228861180955022012-03-23T07:57:00.000-07:002012-03-23T07:57:30.678-07:00In High Spirits ;)Remember how I told you guys I put on 2 kgs!! Well, it wasn’t because of over eating...which umm..err I technically didn’t do, unless you think I.... blah never mind. I’m fat and I know it!!<br />
But yes, THE ALCOHOL was a major contributor to my plus 2 kgs. I normally don’t drink and I suppose my body isn’t accustomed to it, which explains a lot of things.<br />
<br />
Yes, alcohol IS fattening. It halts fat burning and enhances and activates fat production and storage in the body. So you fat people know what you need to cut down on now.<br />
<br />
But not to lower your spirits (pun intended), here’s an awesome cocktail recipe. My personal Favourite, presenting the Singapore Sling<br />
<br />

Today was a holiday, so no swimming (secretly jumps slowly ensuring nothing breaks ) but back to the urine filled waters tomorrow. Haha. And yes, no matter how much they tell you that they don’t pee in pools, be warned, its a downright LIE!!<br />
<br />

I've had an awesomely colorful week and As we look forward to yet another weekend (already sipping on imaginary cocktails), I’ve been a bad bad girl this week. Luckily Santa doesn’t get to judge me! I’ve had some of the yummiest cocktails, super awesome cupcakes, Iranian halwa, chocolate toothpaste (yes really) and random chocolates too! I’ve put on 2 kgs as well.. I think I need to make this a weight gain blog haha! Skip this post fatsos :P<br />
<br />
I have started swimming though, on the upside. Feels good. Swimming and morning workouts on an empty stomach! Lets see how that turns out. Jay Sean tweeted this tip and I think its really smart. Since you don’t have energy early morning, your body uses up your fat!<br />
<br />
Here’s my super awesome Rainbow cupcake with chocolate frosting<br />

Monday to Saturday feels like an eternity! Except that I don’t have a job now and it makes me feel pretty frikkin awesome!<br />
<br />
Surprisingly I didnt miss gym even once this week. My awesome meter is slowly rising. AND Im re joining yoga cause I think its the best exercise one can get. Ignoring the great sacrifice I have to make by getting up at 5.30 am, when I do lose some calories its going to be super amazing!<br />
<br />
Oh heres this awesome recipe I tried out, Braised Leeks. Leeks are a little milder than onions and they are immune boosters besides being a great source of fiber. And they’re really tasty too! You can find the recipe here<br />

I ate it with plain rice – not white, brown boiled basmati rice, which is again a great substitute for white rice and it looks AND tastes the same! I also improvised a little. I used organic leeks, so didn’t have to clean them much and instead of slicing through it, I chopped them up. I also used a lot more garlic than the recipe calls for and I substituted butter with olive oil. How healthy is this recipe, huh?<br />
<br />
My weekend is shaping out good, I had an awesome night out with my favourite ladies and we hogged! Lol its okay to gorge once a week stop judging me, I gave you the leeks recipe didn’t I?<br />

Pentagon: Olden style restaurant with wooden interiors, one of the lesser famous places and one of my favourites for their yummy food, continental AND Indian! They have the best steaks, but my healthy leeks win...(not)<br />

Its been with me for years and has never failed me, more than once that is! Yeah, the last time the wood inside cracked and the chair broke. Whatever. Its back now. And its ruining my life. Me and the chair should be featured in the fevicol ad.<br />
<br />
So updates? Plenty..<br />
<br />
I quit my job!<br />
I got all kinds of diseases (life threatening) and recovered from them. And used up my health insurance!<br />
I met up with my besties from college after so many years<br />
<br />
Well, as is obvious, NOTHING happened while i was away! Annnnddd i managed to maintain the same weight! Muahahaha.<br />
<br />
So yes my gym has started, about a year ago. Ive only recently started going, i plan to keep it that way! No pictures today! But keep checking in for my weightloss updates, healthy tips, my yummy healthy recipes (oh yeah ive started cooking!) and hopefully some good news as we go along!<br />

Cuz this time, ive got PICS! YAY! And so much to write about. Ive had the best week ever! Sooo much going on-<br />
<br />
1. Smiley week<br />
So we had this smiley week in office where everyone had to spread happiness and other crap. So there were loads of activities n contests, one of them was the smiley decorating contest where we were given a smiley ball n asked to decorate it. So basically on Monday everyone comes to work as usual forgetting about the smiley week and ka-boom, the so called rajnikant of our branch makes this amazing lit up smiley and displays it in the conference room! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj5TFgZU4b4VQ7gNGIqmJvkn6J5x5hR-YK5aZRJaDcE-K0ZsNOGHd52WHQ4LegDaBDoAXhPffehuVtx7oOOFinkH-B5-olXcyxvVzuK5ttej-c_g9R-vJvEvCoDmEYXNaMZ-OfiU_xIxr3/s1600/DSC03272.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj5TFgZU4b4VQ7gNGIqmJvkn6J5x5hR-YK5aZRJaDcE-K0ZsNOGHd52WHQ4LegDaBDoAXhPffehuVtx7oOOFinkH-B5-olXcyxvVzuK5ttej-c_g9R-vJvEvCoDmEYXNaMZ-OfiU_xIxr3/s320/DSC03272.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Suddenly everyone gets a jhatka!! (thats hindi for... jhatka...) we all get this competing spirit inside of us and everyone wants to do awesome decorations for their smileys. There was a prize of course which i dint win! So i made these big plans of making a doll house kinda structure for smiley. But it dint work out, too much effort and too less time! Then i decided to make a smiley superman! But due to technical errors ( my office boy was not able to find red cloth to stitch him a chaddi), i had to drop that plan as well. And all this happened just an hour before the final smiley exhibition. Then i some how managed to borrow a cow costume from a colleague and swathed my smiley in it. Unfortunately due to shortage of time, my smiley looked like a really badly molested rodent. Not very eye pleasing, I know! <br />

2. Twin treat<br />
So my colleagues wife gives birth to twins and we have this huuuuge bash where I pig out a LITTLE..only...it was a real awesome night. The lowest form of humour is mimicry and I revel in it. I absolutely love making fun of other people and that’s what kept the night going. Besides picking on innocent family men type of guys and making them drink till they drop!!<br />

There was lots of other stuff as well that happened. But I really run short of time these days so blogging is the last thing on my mind. I did have an awesomeeee week!! One of the best weekends I’ve had after coming to Mangalore. So yeah details on that in my next blog.<br />
<br />
The diet and exercise has been on. I managed to exercise only 3 days a week. But my food intake has drastically cut down. I have started religiously skipping dinners or substituting it with fruits. Lunch consists of greens. Limited quantities of green tea, fruit juice and occasional fruits. And yes, i have lost 1.5 Kgs since last week. I know it doesn’t really seem much but its not bad if i calculate losing that much every week. That would amount to around 5 kgs a month which is superb!!<br />
<br />
Desperately waiting for my gym to start! Once it does, im going to kick weightliftings ass! Real hard. Look out for my next post with weekend details!<br />
<br />
I'm Happpyyyy! Cheers<br />

Who also reads the blog. So according to her, i should be fully covered in bubble wrap to make me accident proof. so even if i do fall, id go "pop pop" Lol. I considered it. and then burst out laughing.<br />
<br />
My green diet has been going on. Just not been green enough. I have horrible will power. 2 days back there were these yummy Gulab Jamuns in front of me. I convinced myself that I would NOT touch them. and I promise you all i really did not touch them. I just popped one into my mouth using a spoon. And that was it. Next day i was semi food poisoned, terribly nauseated, constantly pukish and other disgusting things. Then i had a big counselling session with my Colleagues doctor who gave me a good dose of a different kind of medicine. and coincidentally my colleagues client calls her up today saying she had a vision that I was putting on too much weight. lol that was kinda hilarious. i cursed her after that 'cause the whole office had a good laugh after listening to her "private conversation" with my colleague on the speaker phone. But I have vowed now to completely cut out unhealthy food. As much as i can. i really have to work on the will power part. its real hard.<br />
<br />
On a healthier note, my swimming has been going good. Ive not been too regular but I plan to make it compulsary from Monday without any excuses. its real good exercise and its lots of fun too. It helps tone your body and burn some calories too. <br />
<br />
Good news is that Ive finally got my camera so next post on, you can expect some pics! yay! I cant wait for the weekend! Just to keep you'll hooked on, next post i intend on revealing how much weight ive lost since ive started my not so successful weight loss program!!<br />
<br />
Have a super unhealthy weekend!! Cheers!!Shereen D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07788518163168152748noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712563898057460140.post-21257032559078608772011-06-03T08:29:00.000-07:002011-06-03T08:29:05.152-07:00Chaaaiii garam chaiiiiii!!!There HAS been quite a gap and I know gaps generally mean bad news! and yea this is totally one of those times! so you know, everything was going as planned, diet was on track, exercise was on track too...(but not on my track lol), i did little of binging here and there, but can you blame me if certain foods are so appealing? Kicked off the days with a big breakfast, mediocre lunch, trying my best to skip dinner or just have fruits and soup (which DID happen.once.) <br />
<br />
But then, one fateful day, things took a treacherous turn! It was a gloomy day, heavy rains, sparks of thunder, flashes of lightning, a terrible traffic jam, pollution in the air and I, the great granddaughter of Columbus the explorer, decided to be a daredevil and "feel" the first rains on me! so i took a step forward, or a step down, and I slipped! lol the stairs were super slippery and my underweight body helped a little too :P and I fell on my rear end, bounced off the stair and fell a couple of more stairs down, twisted my ankle and semi hairline fractured my right hand (which already has a rod inside btw) I was lying there, my pregnant colleague completely scandalised and contemplating whether to risk climbing down those evil stairs and giving me her hand or to stand there and be safe. Adrenalin was high, she climbed down, looked at me, trying desperately to control her laughter at my hilarious bouncing rhythm, gave me back my slipper which flew off and the watchman on the other side who was too shy to touch me 'cause im a girl, but he too had no choice so he tried to pick me up with TWO FINGERS! LOL and he obviously couldnt, but he made these grunting noises which were screaming "i cant lift this woman" and people in the traffic jam lookin at me and laughing. now dont judge me but looking at all of this i shamelessly burst out laughing. then all my other colleagues came and started checking if the stairs were okay! lol<br />
<br />
The conclusion is that My hand is in a miserable state, I cant move it. and its in a sling! Tomorrow Ill take an xray to check if everything is alright. so Sadly, I guess il have to lay off the swimming and yoga sessions for a while. But im not losing hope. or track. IM going to be on a stricter green diet.<br />
<br />
Whats a green diet?<br />
<br />
A green diet is a diet which is green. your welcome. It just consists of lots of leafy green vegetables like spinach, fenugreek etc, cucumbers and watermelons to cool you off, and lots and lots of green tea with lime. Now dont go all ughh on green tea. it works wonders for your body and it does NOT taste bitter. If you make it right that is. I drink it without sugar or anything else. I just squeeze lots of lime which takes away all the bitterness and makes it very much drinkable and a little addictive as well. Plus your getting all the good effects of lime.<br />
<br />
You can have upto 8 cups a day! I have about 1 or 2 but I plan to increase to atleast 5. Green tea has amazing healing properties. and helps you loose weight too. it increases your metabolism and helps you burn calories faster.<br />
<br />
Visit the following link for the amazing after effects of green tea. <br />
<a href="http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/green-tea-000255.htm">http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/green-tea-000255.htm<br />
</a><br />
Yes you can google other sites as well. Go ahead. Try it. I drink Lipton clear green tea!<br />
<br />
so yeah looks like i will be increasing my green tea intake and reduce my food intake to make up for the physical inactivity. btw I start gymming on the 10th this month! if the gym opens that is! Either way, i want to heal fast. Can't weight to get started on all the muscle pumping!<br />
<br />
Have a sinful weekend folks! cheers!Shereen D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07788518163168152748noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712563898057460140.post-35724369542183107792011-05-30T08:25:00.001-07:002011-05-30T08:25:21.146-07:00Yoga + Chicken cutlets = @#%#%#$%<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZck5mMR5_wltrbabRY_FJ7NtxPBvQEjvJ2rKOInjNri9F11iYbsHqve5u190upcepPq2NmGeVBNKKaggYDpPA8NXjQLmoSC80OZSvYSBVhNCtYnM_iEOh5fR-sUT5MIdVoc53n8etEwwB/s1600/Yoga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZck5mMR5_wltrbabRY_FJ7NtxPBvQEjvJ2rKOInjNri9F11iYbsHqve5u190upcepPq2NmGeVBNKKaggYDpPA8NXjQLmoSC80OZSvYSBVhNCtYnM_iEOh5fR-sUT5MIdVoc53n8etEwwB/s320/Yoga.jpg" /></a></div><br />

So i started my day real early! 5.30 am up n outta bed, n yet 15 mins late for My YOGA session! Woohoo ONLY 15 MINS late! Yoga was great. Ignoring the fact that i cant do most aasans, yet i manage to bend a lil here n there and still feel wonderful! So imagine the positive after effects of yoga!! <br />
<br />
Honestly, its the solution to all of life’s problems. Whether you’re having a bad cold, or your man mercilessly dumped you, or your unable to squat for too long to do “potty” Indian style or ur a victim of incessant migraines, back aches, neck aches, stomach aches and any other body parts that may ache, YOGA can cure it all!! And its super easy to do as well ( If i could manage, don even bother complaining that you cant! ) Moreover, it ignites this inner “i cant believe im so fresh today” feeling! So seriously, stop being lazy and do any of the following three things, or atleast try it!<br />
<br />
a) Venture out n buy Shilpa Shetty’s yoga cd! (i haven’t tried it, but lotsa positive first hand feedback). Learn something from HOW hot she is!<br />
<br />
b) You’re a miser in which case, visit the following link, its free!!<br />

Todays Diet! (i really tried- don’t judge )<br />
<br />
I might have sinned a lil today! I started off great... a nice big bowl of POHA (i dono what you call it in English, its yellow, soft n awesome! Lol) with some 100% pure mixed fruit juice.<br />
Then came lunch. I was fully prepared for chapatti and ladyfingers BUT some relatives dropped in, had to get snacks, had no time, so I munched on chicken cutlets Then it became worse, I had some sweets as well! But I made up, Im skipping dinner and having some green tea! Tomorrow i promise ill do better!!<br />
<br />
Thats it for today! Tomorrow i start my swimming sessions (YES!!! IN A SWIMSUIT) Control your laughter and un-raise your eyebrows, i Look pretty okay in it! Haha! I very smartly wear it. Irrespective of size, TECHNIQUE always matters! (for every aspect of life, LOL) If you want details on that, you can ask!!<br />
Lets hope for a good week?? Cheers...<br />
