Here we go again

I have been down this road before. The last time I had less knowledge but I think a better drive to lose those extra pounds. This time I am more prepared but the willingness seems to be there but on and off. I have of course started the whole regime and apart from a few fallbacks here and there I have been pretty much on track.

My regular exercise/food routine is:

6:00 - 7:00:- Swim (moderate to vigorous)

7:15 - 8:20:- Walk (Brisk to Jog)

9:00:- Porridge, egg (1) and juices (these are home made and for various ailments I have)

11:00:- Fruit (mostly watermelon or papaya)

12:30:- rice (small bowl) +dal + veggies ( thanks to Gout I am now on a vegetarian diet, which I like actually.)

14:00:- Fruit (mostly a guava or plum)

16:00:- Fruit (mostly an apple or plum)

18:30:- Sometimes I go walking or I eat a fruit

19:30:- Roti (2) + veggies + Tang (if I go walking)

I have been following this on and off for two weeks now. I have tried to be regular but alas depression and laziness sometimes takes over so badly. I have been keeping a food and exercise diary and doing a calorie count too. ( I know I sound a bit nuts but it helps)

I need to be more regular in my endeavour and also I need to sleep more. I have been sleeping badly and have been having weird and nonsensical dreams. I do not how to combat that. I have tried everything.

Anyway, for now here goes my effort to regain my health. I already feel more energetic and definitely less podgy but a long long way to go.

Here is to good health.
