Weight-Loss, Fitness and Money

Surprisingly true post!!

I don't know how money is being part of all my posts these days!
But nothing wonders me, as i have started this blog, being that as my intention.

Today i wanted to take you through the journey which i went through to loose 09-10 Kgs weight.
And how many diversions it took, were i found the solution?(Of course, i would share the solution with you too ;)).

First to start with, me and my friends were checking our weights and when i checked all were shocked! because i have gained almost 6kgs in just 2.5 months!!
I was constantly stuck @ a number for years, but when i saw the weight that day, i did not know how this happened!(I know many of us tell this, how this happened i don't know! instead of admitting our lazy life's!)

My height is 5.4' and when i checked weight that day i was 72!! were in i was constantly sitting @66-67 for almost 2 years.

Now that was high time for me, my physician directly said me can you stop eating more?
i felt disgusting but, true she was. and luckily that was December. and i trust in new year resolution So for 2013 my resolution was to loose 10 kgs weight.

Here starts the whole new story, which  moved me to a new phase of life!!

So as soon i started of weight loss, first thing came to my mind was GYM....
As i was already in the urge to loose weight soon (later i came to know how foolish it was to think so) went to a local GYM nearby and looking at my anxiety the GYM instructor said as you want to loose weight soon, i suggest you personal training!!


Personal training? i did not even think if i needed that? if i can stick to it or not.
once he said straight away 6 months fees i paid and came back home saying from monday i will start working out!!

Here comes sunday, the day i spent in buying so called branded outfits for Gyming.

All Set for monday, sunday night i slept early because monday morning i have to HIT gym and Personal training... am super excited!!

What happened from monday, i will leave it for your thinking for today shall blog it up in my next post soon!!

Too big to read?? but trust me you will say it is worth reading this

Do leave your thinkings in comments!! shall come back on this in my next post!!

Money And You!!

Money And You!!

I wanted to write this post on Money And You, To share some of the things which i have seen around me! since almost many years for now. And am surprised that we did not even notice about this!

I do not know how i can get this up to you, but i am trying to put across the facts about money and saving it!

Let me start this with a recent example:-

I went to my friends house to spend the weekend with her, before our conversation started. we both thought of having a cup of coffee! so she was trying to prepare it and asked me to grab the milk from the refrigerator. I went and opened the door to collect milk and am chocked!!

Refrigerator was filled up with so many things which i did not even know what they are!
i called my friend to find out what they are( thinking i might be missing on recent food Trends)

But i got an answer which was surprising to me!

She said " i don't know, Last week when i went for shopping there were some offers in the super market and i tend to buy them". Now i have to find out what they will be used for and utilize them!!

After getting this answer, i started thinking of the old shopping system we had and the recent one.

My mom used to write list of things needed for a month, and my dad used to get the same!

Needed is the word which we have to rethink.

My Mom used to think so many times and write the grocery list. She even had a budget for this! and if i correctly remember the grocery bought were sufficient for a month with out re-purchasing them.

Now a days what we do is we go to any super market to get 1 grocery item and see the offers and tend to buy them even if we need them or not!

Don't you think we are doing this? Can you recollect some of the recent activities?

Why are we spending money just for the things which we do not use?
it is not about 1 person am talking about, i have seen so many working people in the super markets dong the same!

Money once spent can't be got back!! if you are capable of earning doesn't mean you can spend it for a thing which is of no use.

Rather give it to a poor child who doesn't have food or cant go for school! don't you think we have to think before we spend?

Please do let me know if you have come across any such situations!!

Your comments always tells me if my post reached you or not!!

"Rather using the so called chemical for facials, try using the home available stuff. To keep you more younger "

Cleansing Milk:-

1.) Milk:- Use Normal Milk to cleanse your face the best ingredient which can be used.

Money Saving - Part I

Saving Money @ Home.

"Money once spent, can't be got back"

Yes, this is true we all would have experienced this by now!!

But did we stop and think on how to save money?

I have done it in some cases, and though this would be helpful if i share this on my BLOG!

We being gals are very found of beauty and beauty products, and spend our money on those which ever says that will make you fair!

First of all we have to decide which is necessity and which is luxury for us and go accordingly!

You can understand were you are spending your money by using a simple trick.

Take a book and just write down your monthly expenses! though this sounds old way trust me this is the best thing you can ever do to find out your mistakes.

What i have found and what i did?

Yes, for me monthly twice a facial to get glow on my skin was very important. and i was blindly spending between 1200-2000 for 1 facial.

So for a month i was spending approximately 4000 on this! i felt 4K isn't a small amount to spend for a house wife like me, i understand, if there is necessity to do so. but before getting in to the parlor think once if it is really needed.

You can get your facial done by your self by spending 45-60 mins in a day. And by saving approximately 2000 in a Month.

Don't you think, if you do your own facial it is more hygiene than going to parlous and getting skin rashes?

I have mentioned some of the face packs which are effective for dry skin in my below posts. i wouldn't say just refer my posts. You have many online sites were you can find this information.You just have to spend some of your time on this. thats it.and you will get this information.

All you need is little patience and planning

Facial steps:-

 Face Packs:-

Before saying i don't have time i cant do it myself, just give it a try once, doing facial for yourself isn't rocket science. And our elders used to do this by them selves always!

Spending money is a minute task, to earn it is a circus.

So please think before you spend!!

Hopefully this post would be helpful atleast for some of the gals out there. Do leave your comments if you feel there is something i need to + or -.
Have a great day gals!

Weight Loss, MOTIVATION.....

MOTIVATION.

Yes, i also have gone through this phase of life were i go to gym and do dieting strictly from Monday to Friday.... and Saturday i go with my family and hop crazily and get those calories back :(

To make it clear, weight loss is not a day or a week result, its life style change!!

To keep us on track we have to get motivation from things around us...

Either your best friend can help you in this or there are many online stuff which will keep you on track. i would like to share some of them here.

1.) MFP:- My Fitness Pal this can help you in understading 

how many calories you have taken?

how many calories you need in a day?

how many calories you spent in a day in exercise?

a very helpful tool

2.) You tube:- i used to use youtube to see motivational video, the most effective person i felt was

amyNicolax who has lost a good amount of weight and kept herself motivated. and is practical in her approach.

Sapna Vyas Patel, you can even check this version.

3.)You can browse many websites which are available online for getting motivated...but before giving up saying i am not loosing weight please think that we gained this weight for years and expect to cut this off in days/weeks.


Keep going!! Never giveup!!

Weight Loss!!

Weight Loss, Walking.

Weight loss the most buzzing word, due to jobs which makes us to stick to chairs we all are crossing the borderline of over weight and now moving to Obese.

I also moved to this borderline and saw all scarcities with this.

Health issues, stress, anxiety and many more.

By changing very few things in your day to day activities you can make it up.

I see many people trying to loose weight, for a month and then say am not loosing weight. and stop all the trials.

Be practical, you have put on this weight in so many years and you think a month is sufficient to start loosing weight?

Below are some changes which i have made myself and found the result.

1.) Start.... Yes, first thing you have to do is you have to start it. never think in a month you will achieve your goal. keep long term goal initial days will be for managing your weight. so step back take a deep breath. weight loss isn't fr a month or day it is for a healthy life.

2.)Exercise.... start walking daily a minimum exercise which can be done by anyone at anyplace. the only concept is start your walking with 10,000 steps. make sure you do not leave this practice at any time. By walking daily  it will become a habit. a healthy habit.

3.) Eat Clean.... When you start eating clean this means you have started understanding your body. Exercise 40 : Food 60 this is how the ratio works. Do not think you can change yourself just by selecting this 1, either food or exercise. but health weight loss is combination of both.

These are some of the minimum changes which can be done by anyone, apart from this motivation is more important factor.

Get motivated

Good Luck and hope this post is helpful to some one to start there weight loss journey.
