My tryst with losing weight

My weight and my relatives comments about it have been a constant pain in my rear end for a while now.. Well I have decided I am going to do something about it now.. the key to it, is to get my mindset right and I am going to put in the same dedication that I did, when I was learning to decorate cakes , paint or even dance. A will power is required. The goal is to be 10 lbs lighter by the end of this month and keep that pace through the next 2 months, so I'll get in shape for kiran's wedding.

So steps I took
a. I am drinking a lot of water. I begin my day with 2 glasses of water and keep an alarm on my desktop to remind me to get more water every 2 hours.
b. I am taking multivitamins now.. something I stopped for a while.. so yay healthy...
c. trying to get a routine together to go to the gym on a regular basis.. R is helping out by motivating me enough to get there by working out with me.
d. Cutting down on vending machine snacks..
e. Increasing fruits and veggies in my diet

There is also a challenge that's about to start at CB , called live healthy. a few of us have formed a team which i think is eventually going to be called transformers :D . I am hoping to get additional motivation from my colleagues.

in the meanwhile, I tried out a new recipe .. they say Cabbage and moong dal are good for losing weight.. so I made a soup with these two .. will post the recipe soon, once I know its having the effect I would like to see.

my baby doll is growing up so fast, that sometimes, I feel I miss out on her moments.. but thankfully , I have been able to see her do everything the first time around..

I think you are a wonderful person and to reflect that quality you don’t need to be 10lb ‎lighter… Loose weight because you want to, not because of some relative… ‎
You will look great at Kiran’s wedding 

Thank you manju (do i know you?) and satlaj..
arrey relatives can get down right nasty sometimes.. and you can see and feel the glee in their voices.. what most of them don't realize is, they have time to go to the gym and work out, they have bais to do their cleaning and cooking, taking care of children etc..

here I am running the show on my own.. abhi thoda fursat mil raha hain.. so lets see..
