WLC (Weight Loss Challenge) preparation and discussion.

Hello friends
So good to see the excitement and enthusiasm. Thats the way everyone!

My story - 12 Nov started my coughs, nearly lost my voice towards the night and of course Saturday and Sunday and even right now...I have been doing nothing but coughing with blocked nose, severe congestion , aches and pains, and throbbing head! This is not to gain anybody's sympathy. I want to be in this challenge because I need to get back into this routine. I will update my daily routines on the other thread Shiva has started.

At this point I am not sure if I am looking forward to weight loss of 500gms as I need to get well asap. But I want to use this to kick start some discipline in me (and my hubby).

What I would like to focus on this week:
* To increase the number of glasses of water I drink.
* Have not been exercising at all, so to squeeze in 30 mins walk everyday.

I hope to pick up some tips from all of you during our 1 week challenge.

 

Hi Shiva,

As 15th starts for us tomorrow (in US) I thought I will be on track but today i.e 14th due to some stress I ended up eating rice for dinner.Anyways, to compensate I walked 1 mile of Leslie sansone after 2 hrs of dinner and feeling good.

As a part of the preparation for WLC week today I was on a veggie cutting spree It took 2 hrs almost to cut and store the veggies in ziplocks for the entire week, My menu is set which is different from my family members. Im now more comfortable in cooking seperately for myself bcos of my focus on WL.

My menu is set, planning to attend gym on alternate days and plan to do weights at home every day to target my abs.

Good luck to others.

 

hi pman..

what weight you do at home for your abs... that's a nice idea of cutting and storing veggies in ziplock for a week... let me also try it... i dont have any abs machine in my gym... but does rowing machine helps for abs...

 

HI All,

I have blanched french beans and carrots and have freezed them. I shall make soup out of it everyday. I have also stocked variety of soups powders, what i do is, i take handful of blanched veggies and add water to it and a pinch of soup powder to give it a nice flavour. it takes less that to make the soup this way.

Also, I have got leafy veggies, cleaned then up and stored in the freeze. I shall take one packet everyday.

Best regards,

 

Hi winner,

Yes,rowing machine helps for abs. For toning abs at home, all I do is bend and lift the 2lbs weights with my legs while tucking my tummy in.

I try to tuck my tummy (holding it tight instead of leaving it loose) all the time and hope to see some difference.

Keeping pre-cut veggies in ziplocks ensures healthy eating and I enter the kitchen with a smile else with my 2 kids busy school schedules I would go mad.:drowning

I will start my walking and try to do some crunches.Will let you know the results by the end of EID holidays.

 

Dear Shiva,

Today was complete disaster !

My DD is quite sick with a high temperature and stomach upset. My sleep has gone for a toss as the fever has chosen the time of night to hit hard at her. Could not make proper b reakfast too. Had thin dosas without oil. Lunch was rava idli brought from outside Sorry dear could not help.

Hopefully planing to go for a walk in the night depending on her condition....

What am I to do now?
