Day 79 to 85

Update on 5-17-2014.....Been a hell of a week.... Sunday swam well, but rest of the week ate like a crazy cat... The food intake went on to increase as i got closer to the deadline for submitting my video... been an eating frenzy.... like the annual migration feast for bears or crocodiles... anyway... today is by far the worst ... its been 35hrs since i've had any sleep... i finished writing, planning and shooting the video on Wednesday, Thursday did some minor remaining part shoot, then made the rock band of our company record a nice song for me... been editing for last 2 days.... worked on it continuously for 22hrs, then tragedy struck, because of some compatibility issues, cant save the edited film into an MP4. Struggling to get it done... anyway happy with the way the film cameout, hope to finish it soon and get some shuteye... otherwise my body will cease to function and force me into a coma or something i guess... no swimming after Sunday... bad bad week... need to check my weight to see how much screwed it is now... anyway all should be over soon... hoping to get out of this bad patch soon....

Day - 78

Entry for -- May 10th 2014... Slept well, woke up at around 10am, had a brunch, made scrambled eggs with 2 onions, one tomato, a medium sized potato and of course eggs, 3 of them... some salt and chilly powder and green chilly... no lunch as I had brunch at around 12... so evening went on house hunting. Trying to move closer to office, for swimming, running and all else... went to a friend's house in the evening, around 6pm, had 80% of an apple and may be 30gms of yellow lentils roasted ( its a ready made snack)... then went swimming, swam for 1hr15mins... then had a dinner of 4 chicken pieces in spicy gravy with 4 flat breads... also had a little snack called papad... so an okay day... not back in the groove yet... lets see how tomorrow goes...

Day - 77

Entry for - May 9th  2014 -- Wasn't exactly an ideal day... didn't exactly go as I planned... had to do something creative today... there is a short film competition in our office for Great Place To Work 2014 official entry... so had to write and think of a concept, talk to people to act and help me make it... strangely was craving for sugary stuff all day... not sure whats the connection anyway... in that aspect everything went well... finished writing, casting and thinking... just got a week to shoot and edit the video... not sure if I can complete it... lets see... needless to say, my diet went all awry... Its too painful to list all the items, but het I got to do it... this is what has been missing for the last 4 weeks causing me to lose control... so here we go... Breakfast an egg puff and a cream roll, then a tea... lunch had 3 flat breads with kidney beans in spicy gravy.. evening, had a tea and few pieces of fried dough... dinner is where I totally screwed up completely, 3 very thin flat breads, with spicy rice, soya in spicy gravy and potato curry... and a sweet, then some fried snack... so that's the long list and a confession of a glutton... anyway, got to get my thinking hats on and get the video done soon... ohhh couldn't swim as well today... will compensate in the weekend...

Day - 76

Slept late last night, so woke up around 9am, hadn't been running for the past 10 days or so... ran only on one day... cant balance my sleeping time and have enough time to run... but have been swimming 5 to 6 days a week... 2 of those 6 are weekends on which I usually swim for 3hrs... so back to today... breakfast had 3 slices of bread and a 2 egg omelet... then a tea... got to stop the tea... lunch had 3 flat breads with okras in a yogurt base... evening ate bits and pieces of some snacks not the planned diet... but sometimes in a social situation cant avoid eating this kind of stuff... anyway finding it hard to get back to the rules of the experiment... got to get back to the plan... then swam for about 1hr and 15mins... dinner had 3 very thin flat bread with soya in spicy gravy and a small piece of sweet... then a butter milk with some pieces of spicy fried stuff... about 10gms may be... anyway I can see how this all seems very much unlike someone trying to lose weight... I know ... will try to get back on track...

Day - 75

Until May 7th 2014 -- Well its hard to get back to the blog... last 5 weeks have been hard... Lot of roaming around hospitals, experts and all that... anyway back to my base town 10days ago... haven't exactly been following the rules of the experiment strictly ... but in these last month I had put on 2 to 3 kgs, but lost most of it again... Managed to run on 9 days... swam for 8 days... 3 of which were long runs of 2 hours or more... all of the runs at around 30mins running and 1hr walking...ate a lot of carbs and there were no restrictions on food as it wasn't possible... so back to the experiment now... will start getting back to the routine... but have to travel again in few days to get my dad through the second surgery... lets see how it goes... will update from tomorrow on a daily basis... Need to work extra hard once all this is over so that I can hit my targets on weight... as of now I'm 91... got my LIPID profile done couple of days back... everything is in limits.. will post numbers tomorrow... time to sleep now...
