Feb-13-2012

Mondays are not my days to weigh in:
Weight: 153.4
Workout: 30 mins on Elliptical, 30 mins walk post lunch, 100 stairs
Eating has been quite decent. I having more protein, going for regular runs over the weekend, though, I must admit, I should do so before Arjun and M wake up and take some podcasts with me, it is BORING to go alone and not listen to something especially right now when even a couple of miles are excruciatingly painful.
I did 3 miles on saturday and on sunday so thats good, 600 cal in all over the weekend.

We went to Ikea yesterday and my little hurricane took the store by storm. He didnt want to sit in the cart, wanted to sleep on the Ikea sofas, wanted to throw ceramic bowls down, wanted to walk on his own and in process get runover. So many eye-rolls, chocolate promises after we managed to be seated in the car. After few mintues when all sounded quiet I turned back, looked at him and just stared, to that the little monkey chimed 'I am alright'. Right, I didnt need to ask the question at all, you knew what I was going after, didnt you.
And 'No vaat' is everywhere.

Btw, he loves his bright red chair and stool. Lets see how much is he going to use it.

Among other musings, I wanted to write down just how much I feel peaceful on seeing a Nest - you read that right, a bird nest. How much ever the wind is blowing or raining, there it is, never wavering or faltering, I just feel a sense of warmth and care on seeing the bunch of twigs and branches.....

Feb-07-2012

Today has been really good so far. I woke-up early, worked-out for 30 mins, had protein shake and got lunch of soup and 2 eggs.
Weight:
Food: Whey Protein, 2 Eggs, 1 cup soup.
Workout: 30 mins Elliptical - 382 Cal
While putting Arjun in the car-seat, he flatly declined and I had put car-keys in the car and then I put Arjun outside and threathened him that I will go away, in being a villainess, I totally forgot that the car-key was inside and the bloody car locked itself, I cursed and ranted for a minute then finally went inside and got the spare-key, opened the car, got the key out, put Arjun in, put the spare key back in the car and FINALLY sped off for office. Phew !

Women

When I was younger and less wiser (most probably), I didnt get along with a lot of girls, they had complexes with me, I had issues with some of them, being the fairer of the sex (literally than figuratively), I was either accepted whole-heartedly (read prospective MIL) or rejected all together to have been attracting a lot of attention.
In general, i kept distance from them and they from me, but lately I am realizing, women are kind and understanding and strong, they have the courage to nurse an ailing child and an aching adult. They cook, they clean, they want to make people happy, they want to be happy, they want to look good, they want to make a better living, they want a career and like me, they want peace. Women have been so supporting to me, solving the myriad issues I have raising a baby, giving suggestions; which work at times and just be so comforting and inspiring, two traits that are very dear to my heart.

Feb-06-2012

So it is February already, let me get the facts first
Weight: 153 lbs (highest its been in quite a while)
Workout: walked for 30 mins
Food: Honey bunches of oats, Pasta, peanuts-chana, Plain non-fat greek yogurt, little cake, a cup of tea, one bun, 2 cups pav-bhaji

Arjun, Mayank and I went to Permi's place yesterday. Arjun played with Neha a lot and was involved in tug-of-war, Rikti looked good but I rather was sitting in my own house watching Arjun, why dont I create a place like that in my mind so I dont think of escaping, the place will always be a thought away :)

Feeling really sad right now after seeing the scale, I look horrible with the hair and eye-brows not done and Arjun crying when left at school, just didnt make a picturesque Monday, I have had better days and better body image.

Confimed, I was PMSing.
