Day 38, 25.04.2023: The easy and the tough

When you are in the routine days, it’s easy to follow the weight loss routine. When the daily routine is disturbed beyond a limit, the weight loss routine goes for a toss. At least this is happening to me.

I was staying near my cousin’s place. We used to have dinner together. He got a job in Pune and so he had to leave Delhi. The last few days involved cooking lots of chicken and mutton, biriyani, and other tasty stuff. Of course, my taste buds had fun while the weight loss blabbered.

And then I decided to change my flat. The whole searching, shifting, and adjusting to the new place has been quite hectic throwing my daily routine to a toss, and thus my weight loss.

To many, and often to myself as well, it sounds like a series of excuses. But one of my teachers used to say, we shouldn’t fight wars on many fronts at once. 800 Cals on a hectic day with lots of physical activity isn’t healthy. On most of the days in the last two weeks, I was on the verge of a cheat, a bit more or less than 1500 Cals. Some of them were undocumented cheats. The result, 84.70 kg on day 38. For the first time, I’ve fallen below all three considered scenario projections. As per the target case, i.e. 72 Kg (18kg loss) by day 120, my weight should have been 84.30 kg. However, it was morning weight after 3 glasses of water. So, I have the comfort of assuming I could drink a glass lesser and been on target.

On the positive side, I’m under 85 kg now. I can feel my face losing the fat shade and the tubes on my stomach vanishing. Probably I’m ready to attend the two upcoming marriage parties :D. Oops, there is going to be another sequence of cheats. That’s next week.

Know Me: Vikash Kumar

"Everything I know, I know because of love" That's Charles Dickens in War and Peace. I know things because of my experiences and imaginations. Life is a journey, from one point to another, from one corner to another, and meanwhile showing us the enigma and the beauty of various life forms, of forms without life and of abstract sensations. We get experience in this journey. And having got the power of words, we sync them in the rhythm of the events of our lives, and we create poems, poems which reflect what we have gone through what we feel and what we have become. Often these very poems also reflect what we want to achieve and what we ought to become. Plus our imaginative tendencies. Believe me readers, all of us have this poet hidden in us. I, Vikash Kumar, am just one among you. Giving conveyable words to my poems. Born and brought up in a small village in East Champaran district of Bihar, having done engineering from one of very pr...

Day 58: 15.05.2023: Drifting away?

12 days, 4 cities, 2 marriages, multiple relative’s places, lots of travel, and so on. All these of course had a toll. However, I had imagined worse. When I returned to Delhi on 10th May, I weighed 83.95 against 84.70 on 25th April. Happy because despite everything (and similar weighing – after 3 glasses of water in the morning) I weighed lesser than before. Today, I weighed 83.30 which is exactly 2.0 Kg away from the target case line. So the journey so far got a drifted curve than projected. Is it possible to catch up? Whatever the answer is, I won’t recommend it to myself. One because I’m very much aware that the existing diet itself isn’t on the healthy side. Two, I’m also aware that having already shedded 7kgs the shedding is going to be naturally slower going forward. My Excel table currently ends on the 120th day, thus the projection in the Target-72 case ends at 74. There is a probability that I’ll stay on the 10% cheats line which ends at 72.76. And I’m fine with it. Hey, by th...

Happy, because I feel it

I cried at the mountain peak I smiled at the ocean bottom I wept on the horizons I laughed in the storms For happiness was where I felt it And I was sad where I was sad Achieving what I desired Didn't make me happy For when I got what I wanted I wanted something else Something more, something different I cried for it I craved for it But often I laughed At some small little achievements I danced, I shouted Feeling a fulfillment at heart For something I didn't even dream But got that by a chance Didn't even plan to celebrate But celebrated with happiness For I was happy, because I felt it And I had cried because I had cried Who knows where the life will take to What the destiny is But I imagine, I plan, I work I fail, I succeed I smile, I laugh A small little smile For the failures A big laugh For the gains Sometimes I cry laughing Sometimes I laugh crying And the journey goes on With some tears With some smiles
