Relapse of my healthy eating habit

I am sure you all know that I rant in this blog sometimes 🙂 or some of you might say I do that a lot. Anyway, this might me one of those posts.

As you know, I am trying to eat healthy and get back in shape. In my head, I want to be this perfect woman and I am working hard for that. I am going to Nepal in a weeks time and I want to wear a lehengha and make sure I look good on it. Therefore, I have many reasons to stick to my exercise and food plan.

Before yesterday, I was all fine. I was eating healthy expect on weekends. I was swimming almost every day and yoga on weekends. The stubborn fats seemed to burn off slowly and I could see that in very near future I would reach my goal.

I am so close to my goal that I was so sad to see that I relapsed yesterday.

We had tea at work in the morning and they had my favorite lemon meringue pie. As always, I stuck to the fruits at first but then I had to have the pie. Keeping in mind that I shouldn’t, I ate only ¼ of the small pie. It was just delicious and my taste buds went to heaven straight away.

I ate my healthy lunch, salmon sandwich and yogurt with fruits afterward so all good then.

While I was driving home, suddenly I have craving for cheese balls. You know the ones I mentioned before with heaps of butter, cheese and artificial flavoring with zillions of fats.

Anyway I couldn’t help myself so went straight to the shop and bought a few packets of cheese balls and some other junk food.

This part made me was annoyed with myself that I didn’t have the self-control at all. I paid for the food, went to the car and opened a packet of cheese ball straight away. I couldn’t wait for 5 minutes ride home to eat it. I am so annoyed with myself that I didn’t even have the self-discipline on this small matter.

Anyway, in terms of my progress apart from the relapse I am doing OK.

Take care ,

Our V day 2014

This post is a few days too late but finally here it is… I know most of you think Valentine’s Day is overrated and I do believe that and here are some of my post from previous years.

But love is not about spending thousands of dollars for your loved one. Rather it is the day to make your loved one feel special.

As I mentioned on the previous post, my V day started great with my dear hubby showering with me with lots of love. In the morning I got an amazing message on our benchtop with rose petals. It was followed by a warm hug, which absolutely made my day.

He also gave me a bunch of roses with a balloon with the messages, “I love you.” and “I am crazy about you.”

We went to work together and after work caught up in the city for dinner and a movie.

While I was waiting for AS, I was a bit annoyed that he hadn’t turned up even after saying he will be there in 5 minutes. But I couldn’t complain when I found out the reason. He bought me another rose, a single one this time. He said, “I don’t think you should be walking around without a flower in your hand so I bought you another rose.” Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve such a wonderful husband.

After a brief stroll in the city, we went for dinner. It was a Korean BBQ and we ordered pork, chicken with salad and sides.

The marinated meat was nice and we loved the food. We had a great time.

After dinner, we went for a movie and went back home on time to relax and rest. It was a simple celebration but it was one of the best days of my life.

The next morning, he came to me when I was getting ready to go out. He gave me a lolly in the shape of a heart and said. “Happy day-after-Valentine’s Day.”

valentine (1)

He just melted my heart and I fell in love with him all over again. Hope all of you had a great one too.

English is funny language

Last weekend, I felt like eating Indian food. As you know we have been eating really healthy for the past few months but from time to time we do crave others food. So we decided to go out for lunch to the Indian place in Parramatta.

We drove to the restaurant and ordered Vegetarian dosa, a few curries and Naan bread. AS suggested we order chicken dosa but I remembered that the last time I had chicken dosa, I didn’t like it.

When the food arrived we were happy. We had naan and curry and veg dosa was the last to arrive.Helensburgh (17)

Both I and AS were disappointed with the dosa as it was nothing like the one we normally have.

On the way home, we were still talking about the food.

Me: “I didn’t like the feeling after we ate. It wasn’t like before.

AS:  “I know, the filling was not like before.

Me:  “I know . I think it was too oily as I am not feeling very good.

AS: (Starts laughing.) I know how you are feeling but I was talking about the filing, the aloo (potatoes) in the dosa 😀

Indeed English is a funny language 🙂
