Day 172!

Saturday morning and no school and so could hit the ground on time! 2.61 kms of run followed by training on the ground. It was the Monthly Birthday celebration time and so had a treat of kachori sabji and tea after the training!

Day 168!

So as school was closed and so was gym, I planned a long run and covered 12 kms today! After a gap, found it a struggle to run, forget about pace, and even breathe. Stopped quite a few times but managed to complete my run and got the adrenaline rush! 

Day 168!

5.50-7.30 am: 12 km run

8.15 am: Smoothie of 40 gm oats, 1 kothali kela, 5-6 black raisins, flax and pumpkin seeds, 1 spoon curd and a scoop of whey protein (Tried a new one from Only what's Needed- found it a little different from my usual stuff, will take time to get used to it)

9 am: 1 cup tea

11.15 am: 2 small aloo parathas, 1/4 cup tea

1.30 pm: Papaya

2.30 pm: Rice, aloo dum, dahi

7.30 pm: Tea, 2 mini suhali, few bites of top ramen and epigamia

9.15 pm: 2 phulkas, palak paneer

2 litres of water, 17000 steps and off to bed early. Felt exhausted through the day after the long run. I guess it is the heat taking over me!

Good night!

Day 167!

Last few days have been a roller coaster starting with a wedding, then work travel to Indonesia and the holiday at Goa! While I have tried my best to include protein in my meals during travel and social functions, tried hitting the gym/ run whenever feasible, there has been no routine and though I feel a little low so as not to be able to maintain my regime but then such is life. Its not robotic, its more humane with social events, work and fun being part of the journey. I guess I need to throw aside the guilt and just get back to normal regime at the earliest. I think that is what is called consistency! I am back to the old grind and so, here is my update on my workout and diet , re-starting from today!!

Day 167!

6.15-6.30 am: Papaya and coconut water

7-7.25 am: 3 km run

7.30-8.25 am: Upper body (gym)

9.45 am: 2 idli, chutney, tea

11.45 am: Vegetable poha & black coffee

2.15 pm: Rice, dal makhani

5.15 pm: Papaya and epigamia

8 pm: 2 phulkas, palak paneer, red chana, 1 gujia

It was 18000 steps , close to 1.5-2 litres of water and slept on time!

Trying to get back protein in my diet and trying to be greedy to walk as much!

Time to rebound and rebounce!

Good night!
