Sugar free till 31st March

 I thougth and it appeared easy taking no sugar in my chai ... that is the onyl sugar I add in my drink.

I can see my moods, cravings, disinterest and sluggishness.

I checked my glucose before fasting and notign all teh food I am having for breakfast lunch and dinner.

This feels really hard, so hard, I want to stay in my pyjamas, sleep all day and stare at the sky.


So far so.  I am becomeing aware of my cravings.  I dont' need to indulge sraight away, I delay the process.  Either by having cinnamon water or having an alternative natural sweet like fruits or dates helps.

I had chocolate muffins in front of me and I was able to take them home and put them in the freezer, with a hope I will eat them later.

Feeling tired but I keep going.  When I don't feel like dogin the work, I ask myself what is the smallest thing I can do towards that.  I made buffer solutions.  Usially I would put them off for days, but yesterday, I said jus tthis buffer and prepared and left the lab around 7:30pm.

Thoguht I took my laptop and work home, I was hungry and then too tired and slept off.

I am happy I havent' had any added sugar, dont' feel that sleepy and able to focus as much as possible.

I see my colleagues working around me and they are truely inspisiring, wanting me to do a bit more on my part.

today I saw a fatter version of me as I walked int he door, I freaked out and that keeps me on track to ensure I dont' take unnecessary sweets.    It has been a few days and I can say no to sweets not to savoury.


It had been only four days and when there was the Holi celbrations, I went for the savoury items first then ery tempted and gave into my temptation of soan papdi and the guava nectar.  After which I felt sik and wanted to wash it all with water.  I took some savoury snacks and did nto enjoy the sweets at all.  


As I walked back home I asked and realised why dodn't I go to the gym at least on alternate days.  I don't know where to start.  At least with the rowing may be 10 miutes on that and 5 on the cross trainer and slowly put in leg excercises.  Not a bad idea and did nto seem that difficult either.


I flet so bloated I want to do something about health and ecercise.


I have been keeping a track of my glucose and yes I admit it is very disheartening. Yet I will keep goign like a adedicated scienist .... collecting data. 

So this morng I came to the office printed my timetable what the day could pan out like.  With morning in the lab and afternoon for writing.  Theoretically sounds good and easy and now ave to implement them.  I am having dal (toor) and the left over banana stem curry.  THough I don't feel very hungry, I am eating this instead of munching on junck.

Talking about which there is cheezels in my cupboard.  I open the bag and drop a handful in the bow of dal rice and continue typing away.


I am reading "Unleash your power within by Suhani Shah as I finish my lunch.


Next stop ... print chromatograms and get into the lab.

Discipline is like building muscles

I had a realisation very profound and very deep that I know that it can become a core habit only if I keep cultivating and keep practising i...
