Day - 116 --- Rating --- 0

Alright... Monday is here... and the pool is closed... so no swimming today... after all that swimming for past 2 days i had a very sound sleep last night... slept around 1 am and woke up at 11 am... wanted to go running but couldn't really do that... anyway happy with the last couple of days... 1 rest day is very necessary i think... so no serious workouts today... just played serious ping-pong for 2 hrs... ok food... in the morning woke up late so around 12.30 pm, had a small glass of pomegranate juice... caught a bit of cold after all that swimming this morning so didnt want drink that cold juice, but had no other options... lunch had 3 flat breads with green peas in a curry gravy... around 4pm had a tea, then in the evening around 6pm had a tea and a cream roll (bad choice... but was so hungry and craving for some sweet stuff) ...  also had a boiled vermicelli dish... another bad choice... dinner had a vegetable hot and sour soup with little bit of dry noodles... thats all for today... not an ideal day ... so rating 0 

Day 101 to 115 --- And the trouble strikes !!!

Been a while since i have posted anything here, there is a good reason for that... last 2 weeks have been difficult ones... had so many ups and downs... to begin with, the shifting to new place and hoping to intensify my exercise efforts too a big step back as i started having back pain 2 days after getting here... Since i had a serious serious back problem back in 2011 which lead to a major surgery, i had always been very careful with back pain... i think by now i know when to push on and when to hold back and take rest when i get a back pain of any sort... so this one felt like i need to slow down and take things slow... so first thing i did was to stop the plans of running, then for a few days stopped swimming as well... started eating my usual food without any rules, increased meat and egg intake... not sure why this always helps with my back pain... so after 4 or 5 days i was feeling much better... all this eating created some guilt which kept me away from getting back to the blog... anyway after 3 days started swimming and 3 days ago started running on a treadmill in office gym... things got better after the first 5 days... and i continued my swimming, but the food habit change was like opening of a flood gate its very hard to get back on track once you leave all the rules... so that took a lot of time... good news is my running hasnt gone bad... i started running day before yesterday and that day and yesterday i ran for 35 mins each and 3.3kms on each day .... the amazing thing to share is my swimming form... something amazing happened to me 5 days ago, i found a rhythm in swimming.... and since then my swimming has drastically improved.... its basically to do with the way i breathed, once it got sorted on its own, i could do wonders with swimming... day before yesterday after my 35 min run i swam 144 rounds in that 25meter pool.... can you believe it 144 rounds that is 3.6 kms!!!!!!!!! Even Ironman triathlon has a swimming section of 3.5 kms only... i did 100 meters more !!!!! :) :) :) 44 of those rounds were continues rounds with no breaks.... 2 days before this event i figured out a more relaxed and easy way to breath... it just came to me while i was in a 2hr swimming session... and then it all became so easy... today i did 2 swimming sessions one in the morning and one in the evening... no running today... in the morning i did 120 rounds 50 of which were non stop rounds without a break.... then in the evening went back to the pool again and did 80 rounds... so in total did 200 rounds today thats 5 kms !!!!! That is beyond any imagination i could have ever had when it comes to my swimming abilities.... my per round time has decreased dramatically as I'm doing more continues rounds... yesterday i did on an average 56.7 rounds per hour... today 120 rounds in the morning took me 2hrs and 80 rounds in the evening took me 1.5hrs... this is amazing improvement my previous highest rounds of 102 took me 2hrs and 45mins... compared to this the current timings are amazing... just goes to show you how much the human body can adapt and do amazing things... mine isnt even fit or in shape... Shopping around for a bicycle these day may be in a week will buy one... so that would really put my calorie burning in a different gear... Started an additional challenge for my self... the challenge is to do 100kms of running and 50kms of swimming in 30days .... started this 3 days ago and I'm using something called as a Dailymile website to track my distances... will post them on a weekly basis... food is still an issue... havent got that under control yet... will try hard from tomorrow... alright i think i updated everything... daily updates from tomorrow... things are looking good... I'm very sure that i will breakthrough the 90kg barrier soon... as of now it hasnt changed the machine still shows 90kg when i checked my weight this morning... anyway i'm not bothered about it as long as my running and swimming go well... Finally thanks to the god for keeping me safe and sound and allowing me to do this quest for self respect...

Entry for -- 1st June 2014 --- Okay, 100 days up today... still 80 to go... didnt remember it today... Anyway to the eating... Woke up around 10 am... ate a small 50 gms pack of biscuits for breakfast may be around 11.30 am... it was 200 calories as the pack said so... then we for lunch around 2.30 pm... had what is called a Thali... went to a place that serves the regional cuisine where i'm originally from so i didnt contain my self... its a rare thing to go to that place... so i had plenty of rice, lentil stew, battered and fried cabbage... and so yeah it breaks all rules of the experiment... feeling a little guilty but cant help it now... evening went for swimming and swam for 2.5 hrs... stopped counting rounds these days... feels a little too difficult to do that now... i'm usually lost in swimming, tried it a couple of times but i forget to count as i continue to swim... dinner had 3 very thin whole wheat flat breads with boiled cabbage and coconut... very small amount of yellow lentil stew and raw cucumber and carrots may be 1 piece each along with this... time to sleep now...
