Today was a good day.I did the TaeBo again..this time..I walked it off a little and laste 43 minutes into the video and then finished the stretching and had burnt- 369 calories in 46 minutes.
Eating wise also the day was good. I wanted to burn atleast 150 calories more..to make it upto my 500.I took the kids to the park.It was cold and windy..but we just bundled up and went. I walked around pushing the pram,while Little Princess rode her bike..when we came back 20 minutes later- 206 calories smashed! Super loved it.
I have been eating Bulgur wheat instead of rice..Today,I made my favorite meal of Daal-Rice and Pan fried fish. I made Bulgur for myself and rice for the rest of the family.When we were eating..for 2 minutes,I had this inner debate with myself..about whether I should eat the rice or not.. and finally I decided to NOT eat it..and I didnt even miss it.
At dinner time,Hubby thought the Bulgur was a dish gone wrong and threw it out,while I was out walking. I came back,had a shower and just when I was about to sit down to eat,he told me that he threw that brown thing in the pan! LOL!That was my dinner..I told him..Anyway,I was starving.I measured out 1/2 cup of rice with Daal and fish..and I couldn't finish the food. For the first time,in so many years,I chucked the food in the bin. Its been drilled in my head,from childhood - that you should not waste food.You should finish all that is served in your plate..but I don't like that heavy feeling in my stomach anymore..
One of my goals is to finish dinner before 8 pm..latest by 8.30 PM..I have been thinking hard about making my commitments..which is the Pre-season task 4..and I have also been thinking back to how I put on so much weight..and also why I don't lose weight despite eating healthy..and one of the things that flashed in my head is - Eating dinner so late.Since we got married..I don't remember ever eating before 9-10PM..Hubby would come home late from work,we'd have chai and have dinner after a couple hours. After the kids,came along,it became even worse..most days I would cook only after Hubby got back home..So,if he got back home at 7- I would start cooking at 7;30-after drinking chai with him..
I have been trying to eat early since the last week or so..and I like going to bed with a lighter stomach.I do get hungry before bed and I usually have a cup of warm milk.That makes me feel better...
Tomorrow I make my commitments..so watch this space..
