Ever since I came back from India in 2011, I brought back some different ideas about eating. I got into juicing and sprouting. My diet plan changed during the fall of 2011. I substituted my lunch for a salad of sprouts and veggies. I just added a bit of salad dressing and croutons and made sure that it was not all a total of more than 200 Cal. That was my lunch from Sept 2011 - April 2012. Dinner was my main meal. But it also never exceeded 400 Cal. In between I would have tea and some snacks. All of the eight months went by without losing one single pound. In fact I regained the 5 lbs I had lost in India during the summer of 2011. OH!! What to do?
Nothing seems to be working.
I added fresh fruit-vegetable juice to my diet. So 3-4 times a week I would drink juice instead of snacking. No weight loss....
In February I joined an online website - Calorie Counter to keep a track of what I was eating. The website calculated that I had to consume about 1200 Cal to lose 1 lb a week. Sure I can do that. But did I lose any weight after 3 months of doing that? NOPE. Not a single pound.
In April I started getting ready for my summer travel to Kailash. So I started walking about 3 miles per day. In keeping with the same diet I had all the time, I still did not lose a single pound.
What is it about the body that it does not want to let go of that fat??
And then in summer 2012 I went back to India. It was hot this time around as well. I did not walk around as much as I did in 2011 but my diet was very different this year. I still had the good breakfast, but hardly ate any lunch or dinner. And I still managed to gain 5 lbs. This is getting to a point of annoying.
So now it is war!! I cannot back off now. So, I made a pact with a good friend that I had to lose the 10 lbs this year starting from September 2012. Now that I have said it aloud to a friend, it would be embarrassing not to come through.
