Last 2 days were travel days with a conference to attend at Ahmedabad. The stark difference between this and other times was that I avoided sweets, chose proteins and completely bunked carbs during one of my main meals both days! Ate but selectively, focusing on proteins, fiber and fruits. Need some more work on it but progressing slowly and steadily! Came back late last night and back to the grill from today!

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!!
