errrrrr........ wish i could get angry..

Not a happy bunny today.Blamed it on my personality i hardly get angry and i feel people take this for granted....Just poking fun or interfering into my life although the individual knows i detest it.How can i express it....all these years....sometimes people i love/care just go on & on about me and honestly i boil from inside but just cannot express it.... Situations like these damm...cant even pretend to be angry...
I want to show my anger in a typical angerway (yelling,oh throwing things may be) and not by smiling...(honestly this what happens to me) I have tried telling people i am angry and they just laugh as though it was joke.....Mind you its different with my kids... but grown up i just cant do it and i hate it.... hate it..... and hate it.....

Do you feel this at all?What can i do to show am angry...

Forced to pray..............

Like i mentioned in my previous post(dated 28/5) that i would touch about forcing people to pray,been drafting this since 2 days.

For me, prayer is personal conversation or a gesture that comes from my heart. Can i be forced to have a conversation from my heart? No way...Even if its forced how would the other person know whether i am genuinely praying? Would it be normal to pretend when been forced? just because i do not want to offend that individual.That's what i did  and still do sometimes.For instance, Few months back i was compelled to accompany my friend's religious place. i didn't want to offend,so pretended to pray. Even though its was forced gesture it made my friend happy.So i did it..

All more important factor is my relationship with that particular person...everything depends on it.I can be honest & resist the gesture or just pretend to make the individual happy.Have you ever felt forced into praying? what did you do??? Does the relationship of the person matter in deciding??? Share your opinions on this.

Newspaper

At the library today, got to read today 'Sun/Daily' newspaper, took into the children section to read so i could watch over the little one. Guess what! a woman comes over to my table to say that i cant read the newspaper in there because it contains improper pictures!!!!(For your info) i was reading the article of muslim prisoner attacked in jail for not offering prayers to  british solider.Very debaitable issue. ( will touch on it sometime) & there were only 3 school kids.If d images were inappropriate i totally agree but it was front page article with male face.

Had to tell her its a newspaper & there are worst images available. I have kids too & know what is good & bad images to overlap .

God man, watz happening ????? people are just getting paranoid are they???? or did i just overreact huh? Very disturbing confrontation.

Mumbai Indians

Hello folks.

I am doing well with my balanced eating lifestyle.Wont call it dieting as am not!!! Just eating sensibly.

Give me a good tummy toner exercise plan.

It has to be max of 15-20mts tried and tested  exercise. I know there loads on the internet promising results.But i want to hear from you folks.Write to me and even a demo is appreciated.

Thank You and hope you can help me in my weight loss journey.

Food label for healthy fat.

I am continuing in my weight loss programme, now i know little bit of antioxidants which i am including in my diet.Following it up with healthy fats today.After reading a lot more about them, I realised there is  nothing like "fat free"which helps in losing weight nor it is healthy,because they are more in carbs!.However i needed to know what is saturated fat that i see in all food labels? Cambridge dictionary explains in simple.it as a fat which is not healthy.

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/saturated-fat

There is list of saturated fat foods,but the only way i can stay within the recommended grams is by reading the nutritional labels at the back.Must admit if there aren't lables i would be lost guessing it.Therefore limiting me in foods i consume in my weight loss journey. For example

Check the difference in 100ml of milk, blue can is standard milk and green can is semi skimmed milk.The fat that saturates and the carbohydrate.So am compensating one for another??







I know it can be nightmare reading all lables, mind you few basic things and repeated buying them i know now that which food has more fat/carbs.All take away food has more than 50 grm of fat,which means nearly 450 kcal!!!!!!!

Remenber it is only the calories that matter in losing weight for me. Thus limiting my fat/carbs intake.Nearly 8weeks now,although i did sway away a little bit but back on track again.I feel more energetic and less tempted towards carbs..Guess there is a behavioural change in me towards food..Still long way to go........

loads of food to avoid!!!

Do you have any tips for me???? No quick fix tips please.

Just 4 u......

Hearing a lot tragic incidents off late. Bangladesh, Syria & Moore....Sad that life must go on..
This is dedicated from u & me to all loved ones

clever huh? how much do you know?

Try this assessment regarding your knowledge on health eating. I found it on my NHS website. I scored 25,which meant i know a lot about healthy eating.(Just putting into practice is my issue!)

You try it now and let me know
http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/HealthyEating.aspx


Btw, i have a confession to make, although i was doing well till this am this junk laddu kept tempting.


I just couldnt, couldnt resist, i just wanted to have a small piece,yup u guessed it right...gobbled all up, thatz half of calorie intake for today. naughty, naughty, naughty me. Errr.............. its too late now........ See.what i mean,adapting health eating into practice is my issue.Its all gone now. Rest of the day have to be good.

Unfit & Unwell? Why?

Honestly, I am very fed being a fat riot. So from now on, I am going to keep myself well and fit (i know its not new year and too early for next year. Resolutions can be made any day.) Have you reached a end point when you would say "That’s it"? My day is today. Few posts from today will be regarding how I am trying to stay well and helping my poor body. What goes in determines how I feel. Yes?

Generally harmful food has to be avoided so that Mr Ugly (Fat) stays away. Have to get rid of him. Evidence shows by incorporating the friendly food. (Mind you, Junk food pretend to be friendly, err….. they are so decisive aren't they???). My first friendly food is the antioxidants, a important one as it boosts my immune system. Hmmm need them.

Antioxidants-What are these? These are molecules that inhibit a chemical reaction. (Oxidation=chemical reaction). Clinical trials have proven lack of antioxidants are risk factors to cancer, heart diseases and stroke. Got to be true then! I don’t want to be disabled before 70!. Ascorbic acid is an oxidation  reduction agent. Most red or bright coloured fruits/veg are rich in ascorbic acid aren't they?

Over the weekend shopped for some of my favourite fruits, coincidently they are good source of antioxidants. Strawberry, cherries, mango, oranges, pomergranate (nibble for telly time better than popcorn, but damn RCB is out of play off). A fruit salad as in the picture with honey on top seems a treat.

  

Filling Lunch

 My favourite  antioxidants veggies been Spinach, tomatoes,carrots, red pepper on salad or as stuffed pepper with couscous, mushrooms. Am sure i can do it,although maintaining would be a tough task,hey ho... all i have to do is think is of Mr.Ugly & You for motivation.

Wish me luck....i need it.................

The sun has risen in IPL who disagrees?

Spot fixing

Hey guys
Having heard that 3 RRoyal players(Chandila,Chavan and Sreeshanth) been suspended for spot fixing.Seems like Salman Butt,M.Amir and Azir consequences have not been taken serious or is it the players are just not bothered and prepared to face consequences.It is reported that Sreeshanth was offered £46,000 for giving away 13 runs , seems tempting isnt??. But come on guys, did their inner conscious let them get carried away? Did they ever think of the consequences they would face if they get caught? Impact on their family,Team's integrity,Role model image and above all the country's name.Could it be they were threatened to do it???? .Perhaps have to wait and watch for the players confessions.

Can this is last incident and the other players think seriously before getting into this scandal. IPL is promoting new platform for many young talented players,Mind you and the glamour.Hope these scandals dont overshadow the true spirit of the game.

Write to me your thoughts on this incident.

Bullying in the park

The weather been lovely,took the little one to the park.Everyone happy chappy,then arrived a group of boys & girls, in their scooters and bicycles.they looked aged between 9-12.Behind them was another boy with glasses,bless he looked as though he was the laughing stock.If that was not enough in the park these 6 kids surrounded him and poking fun.The boy shouting "go away,go away, please leave me alone",literally begging them.The kids laughing around and making more fun.Gosh... I felt so sorry & just coud not tolerate to watch it happening.I had to interfere.Went to boys & girls and  told them to stop it and it is not funny.Wow.I got a staring look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i still stood there,till they dispersed.Heard them yell at the boy'c u in school tomorrow'.
The boy had been crying and told  me it happens everyday.................................

Just wondered is my kid safe? how can i protect them without being demoralised? Bullying to some extent is fine,i suppose it can either make them weaker/stronger.

Perhaps there is no answer to this....Bullying is unavoidable????????? What do you think and would you have done anything differently in this situation? I am still thinking of the poor boy,wondering what is going to happen in school tomorrow.

Beleive in yourself!!

Come on, Letz admit that onez in a while we all have been dragged into self-doubt circle.Lately in my situation it has been the fat riot image and writing.To be honest, I know how difficult it is to practice in life the 'keep trying till you succeed' thing.My simple 4 fundas for keeping that nasty 'self-doubt ' out from creeping my mind.

• To be happy at least i tried to do something out of my comfort zone.for example - my blogs! 

• To ignore my critic( beau) who goes on on & on.........'whatz the point of writing'?Blogging is useless, blah blah blah........ However, my reply has been 'Its my Life' & convinced him that its a platform where i am not judged and am enjoying it .Thankx to all my audience. 

• Treat myself for achieving something.This is giving me a big boost.  

• When Mr self -doubt creeps in, i look back on positive side that i am good.

Come on guys, we all make mistakes and obvious learnt from them isnt? ok sometimes we might have to keep repeating them to realize it is a mistake:-). So best thing to do is

should i go or stay?

Hey guys
I am in dilemma regarding my blogging site. Thinking of switching over to wordpress? what you suggest? My reasons is that it  wordpress seem to have more options but dowmside been, the mobile app is terrible. If i switch over, hope u will still carry on reading my blog snd support me:-

Fat riot's post pregnancy journey so far...

Hey there,
You have no clue,how many drafts I have made just to write this.Guess that shows how good I am in writing.I could recall words in my mind but never managed to scribble it down.

I was overweight before pregnancy( 64kgs).I wasn't curvy but yeah i was comfortable in myself with size 12. I beleive being comfortable is important,than the actual weight. I was so pleased in Jan when i got pregnant that i had a reason to look overweight.I put on 10 kgs (74kgs) during pregnancy,that is from Jan-Oct 2012,Blame my carb cravings i just could not resist it during my third trimester.Well  for a person with sweet tooth, this was icing excuse!!!

Post pregnancy within 4 weeks(Nov 2012) I lost 3 kilos,i now weighed 71kgs. So pleased with my self,although i kept telling myself that it was nursing and hormonal changes.
It was xmas time and a special moment with the little one around,the minced pies tasted more tastier.Ferro rochers would not let me go.Cold weathers limited my outdoor schedules.OOPS... i was back to where i was 74 kgs within 4 weeks. I hated xmas season now.

By Jan i weighed 75kgs. Can you beleive it? Reality struck...By now i had lost my self confidence,struck home,the weather didnt help,felt very demotivated.I havent got any full pics either to share coz I hated myself.....My friends/family kept telling me-oh it is ok,u will lose weight,its only 6 months.It wasn't convincing.....

March 28th,is memorable day. I woke up challenging myself that i had to practice what i preach!!!!. I had to lose weight and do it for myself......By the way i was adamant no slimming programmes and want to do it my way..Get control of myself...I am not gym person.But i love to walk....Set my goals. Kept them practical and simple.

• Stick to 1200kcal per day 
•  6 cups of water.(i hardly drink)
• 30 minutes physical activity 4 times a week.(walk/treadmill) anything more is a bonus........
• weigh every week
• No excuses for first 3 goals
• Aim to lose 10 kilos with any slimming aids.

Mid April 3 weeks since i started i lost 4 kilos.I knew i could do it...This kept me motivated.Mid April i weighed 71Kilos.(My blog on Who not to be reflects on this) Damn was so proud of myself.It is true put your mind and hardwork into something,it will work.But mid april- till today i have lost only 2 kilo,weighing 69 kilos now.This is going to be too hard work to lose rest of chubby wubby. I am closer to my pre pregnancy overweight status.Mind you, my jelly belly is slightly tone now.(Guessing Game blog has been working on myself)But yeah,still 5 kilos to go....Let me see how far i can push myself to achieve my target weight.Its a mind vs body challenge.yet it isl me.

Any of you interested in motivating this fat riot???? or join me in this Fat riot's journey? Do you have your weight loss story...Share it .It would good to know different aspects.Any inspiration may work.

Will keep you posted....I have to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Keep telling myself)

Mysore meals....yummy

Hey there.Today will draw you towards my home city,feeling bit home sick today.Talking about it makes it better. Mysore is second biggest city in karnataka. While Wodeyars ruled,it was capital of the state.It has rich history and has remained its old charm and to be honest it is quaint little city.Although it has changed overtime,its still a laid back place. It is a perfect city for a relaxing life.(My old age is spent there!!) 

My top favourite food (pic are from kannada blogs)

• Mysore Masala Dosa

• Bisibele Bath

• Majjige Huli

• Akki Roti

• Avalakki with coconut and jaggery (mom made only)

• Avarekalu Saar

• Egg burje with chapati (only mom made)

• Ragi Mudde (neighbour's special with spinach sambar)

Guess Game!!!!!

Been today to CCenter & u know if mum's are not bragging about their children, ( very rarely mums moan of their kids) then the discussion is on a stupid topic. It was one of those days today.Although we find it interesting at that point,a reason to spend time,when our tots are playing.
 Post pregnancy weight, how to tone the jelly belly, how some women dont have to cope with it due to Physical built, but the short n stout ones like me have to live with it for sometime.( relates to who not to be ? blog).
Another interesting point was, how other women presume how many kids you have depending on Jelly belly!hw weird it that??? ' More flappy more kids.' Nvr heard of this before.
All I did was listened from the 'expert expereinced mum' and while i walk back home, Observed other women for the guessing game!!!!. It actually made me feel better ( rmbr, it abt UK size, not Indian coz i would be a mamoth!!!)

Planned stunt or a accident???

I found this interesting & not being disrespectful.These people seem to use unusual ways to harm/ kill people. Latest eg of Imran Khan in lift!! .Whether it was just accident/a planned attack or a political stunt for mercy votes???? I dont know!!!! The lift certainly seem over crowded with bodyguards.

http://youtu.be/s_OasvIvvPA

In addition,Sky news reporting"Leading Pakistani politician Imran Khan has been injured after falling off a makeshift lift that was taking him onto a stage at an election rally in Lahore.It is unclear how badly the former cricketer was hurt, but he suffered visible head injuries in the fall."

IPL knocks rocks

First Gayle showers  but Miller storms. Cant beleive we (RCB is my team)lost even on big total.
kohli dropped catch was expensive,Easy catch dropped!! Was he paid to drop to bail Mallya????

Money,Money,Money..........................

New York City Firm Offers Pay Rise For Tattoo

The CEO of Rapid Realty NYC says about 40 employees have been inked with the logo in the past two years.

Anthony Lolli says workers were willing to be tattooed because they were "passionate about the brand".

But they may also be passionate about the extra 15% in commission they get for sporting a tattoo.Mr Lolli put the policy in place 18 months ago after one employee got the tattoo to prove his loyalty to the company

What extend can we go to have a pay rise/climb up the ladder?

But a tattoo....is bit too much..Who disagrees with me huh?

IHNOiI -(2) Posh Poverty!

Struggling Families Using Loans To Buy Food

One in five households said their monthly incomes would not stretch to cover all of their food costs in April and they had to use some form of borrowing such as a credit card, overdraft or loan, or plunder their savings instead,

The findings provide an indication of the numbers of people who are struggling, despite official figures showing last week that personal insolvencies have fallen to their lowest level in five years.

The group who could not cover their food bills from their income alone was largely made up of low-income 

The study also found that only one quarter of people said that they were living comfortably on their incomes, while more than one third (36%) felt squeezed.

Two-thirds were worried about the effects of low interest rates on their savings - although insolvency experts have credited low interest rates with helping people's borrowing costs and keeping personal insolvencies down.

Almost one third (31%) of people surveyed cut back spending on essentials last month, mainly women aged between 30 to 49 years old.

Over two thirds (68%) described the state of the economy as poor, with just 9% saying it was good.
