Here comes the Bride

Its less than 6 months until the wedding. To be exact, its now a mere 131 days until the wedding. So it is time now that a to-be-bride starts completely freaking out over her weight. Today I stand at ** lbs (true age omitted to protect the self-esteem of the person mentioned). I got what like a million pounds to shed before I get where I want to be. Okay let me face it, its not like I am in the first year of college that I can have that weight. Besides having a profession where I sit on a chair and just use my hands does not help. Then the other thing is that there’s no time to exercise. And the excuses will go on.

Anywho, so a patient told me the other day that if I had one pack of Quaker Instant Oatmeal with a little bit of milk and blueberries every morning, not only would my cholesterol go down, but I will lose weight like I was unbloating or something like that. So out I went to Sam’s Club and bought a bulk pack of Variety Quaker Instant Oatmeal. 55 packs total. So 55 packs of Quaker Instant Oatmeal and loads of low fat milk ( I absolutely hate the fat free kind. WAY too thin for me). Okay so 55 packs of Quaker Instant Oatmeal, loads of low fat milk, a dozen bunches of blueberries and 55 days total - here I come.

Lets see if this really works. I resolve to eat one pack a day, preferably in the morning. If I miss it, have one in the evening. Am NOT cutting out any of the yummy stuff from my life ( B just got the most delicious doodh ka halwa from India) but practicing moderation (and try very hard at it). I am not sure how much exercise I will get in between. The treadmill gathers dust everyday (there’s no flatscreen tv in that room). I also resolve to keep this blog as my diary and my readers as my motivators if there are any.

I will also convince myself that if I do end up losing weight, I shall continue the process beyond the wedding ceremony. Its not just to look pretty in a red lehnga but to be healthy forever (yea right! we’ll talk in a year or so).

So here goes.

Todays log: Apple and cinnamon instant oatmeal with 2/3rd cup 2% milk and blueberries.
Exercise: none
Current Weight ** lbs. Total lost = Big fat O
First impressions: It tastes good but it takes FOREVER to finish a bowl. One pack is enough to keep me full. Like a meal!
54 days to go.

I just realized its been a YEAR since I updated this blog. Holy moly.
