New goal!

Monday, February 08, 2010

I worked towards my goal in January, but didn't get to it. But I am still glad that I am moving in the right direction so that I don't have to start over, but only continue this track. So now I am in the 139-140 lbs range.

Here is my new goal for February.. I would love to get to 135 lbs by the end of February.. Do not let the scale move in the other direction.. And try to include some yoga also when time permits. My arms and thighs are hefty and loose. I hope that yoga will help tone up a bit.

I am planning to reward myself with a nice pair of walking shoes when I get to 135 lbs.. I am really working towards that.. We are running low on funds right now and earning that shoes will really be awesome. I have told my dh my plan and he encouraged me..

I am hungry right now and feel like eating anything at sight. But I am at work now and only have papers and pictures around me.. I hope I don't eat them LOL ;) I have tracked my calories for the day already and I don't have much left to over-indulge. :-(

Getting back to work!

Quick catch-up!

Monday, February 01, 2010

My weekend was good with my family members. My brother’s family and my parents visited us. How nice it is to be together with the loved ones! But the main issue here is the involvement of food everywhere. Though I was the host, I got to indulge on the snacks they bought for us. I did try to follow the portions and I guess I didn’t do too badly. But we have planned for a freak-out day pretty soon. i.e., Getting together for a lunch buffet in one of our favorite restaurants. So I am looking forward to that ;) It might be months before our next get-together and I will work harder before that so that I can let myself a free day.

Today is a new day and new week, but why am I feeling damn sleepy? I got in only about 6.5 hours of sleep last night. Is that the reason or my heavy lunch? Might be the new dry topic that I picked to learn today. Guess all of them together. I wish it is night already and I can go straight to bed. I don’t even need any food now. It’s not yet tea break at work. How do I get out of this? May be a hot coffee? I am trying to type in something so that I don’t sleep over my laptop – LOL. I need to kill another 30 minutes and I will be ok.

I know these 30 minutes are not going to be highly productive. But I am trying to make it not totally unproductive. I will finish this ranting and then get back to my learning. I am feeling better now.

Ok, I need to make a couple of calls to co-ordinate a task. That might be the good one to carry on now rather than reading from the computer that is making me numb. So I better stop here and get back to my tasks.

Today is going to be a long and challenging day for me.. My calendar says I have back to back meetings until 9:30 PM.. Eating on time and avoiding mindless grazing are the greatest challenges for today.. I have had enough sweet for the day already.. I hope I don't over-indulge again.. I need to be cautious about what I eat the rest of the day.. I am planning to take short breaks and add few steps..

My goal for the 31st Jan is to get to 135 lbs, but looks like I am deviating from my goal and am currently at 140 lbs.. Regardless of the number in the scale, I am determined to workout and watch my food until 31st Jan. Then I'll decide if I made it or not.. I am not worrying about the intermediate bumps on the road.. But at the bottom of my mind, I wish I could get to 135 by the said time.. Wish me luck !!

And today, I am going to get started on my long procrastinated task.. I am going to spend some time on it and find out what I can do to take it to the next level.. That's been bothering me for a while and I know I will have to face it one day or the other.. So better be soon than later.. I need all the will power and wisdom in the world to begin this task, not even complete it.. So by beginning it, I will be taking the greatest step towards completing it.

Oh my god, 135 is my ideal weight too. Once you get there, I will be bugging you about how you got there. I'm coming from 159lbs :) Report Inappropriate Comment

Once you begin a difficult task, the rest is easy! That's the hard part. Once you're in the swing of things, it'll be finished before you know it. Good luck. Report Inappropriate Comment

My new goals..

Thursday, January 21, 2010

My new goal is to learn to drive a 4 wheeler with manual transmission. After all these years of driving cars with automatic transmission, now there is a need for me to learn to use the manual type. Though I have learned how to drive it long back, I feel totally lost now.. So my new short term goal is to learn to drive a manual transmission car fluently and to tackle this huge traffic.. The time I have set to achieve this goal is by the end of Feb 2010.

And my current task at work that I have been procrastinating for a while now.. I need to be able to take action on it and get rid of it from my to-do list. I guess I will need another month to investigate and act upon it.. So before the end of Feb 2010 might be a reasonable deadline.

Good luck with driving a manual transmission...it really is easy to remember if you have learned it before - just like riding a bicycle :) Report Inappropriate Comment
