dalsingh101 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 DAY 24: 24/2/16 Been naughty.... ate a pack of Oreo cookies over the day. They were on sale for half price. Couldn't help myself. Having a lazy day. Spent a fair bit of the evening looking at vids on improving my writing. Also been eyeing up the garden in anticipation of growing stuff over summer. The good thing about that is you have a steady stream of vegetables to use, and they are easy to access. No shopping trips. Plus I KNOW for certain they are organic (well probably). I'm not sure about costs though. By the time you factor in how much you've spent on stuff like seeds, watering, maybe some compost, buying raised beds (which I'm planning on this year - Aldis has a sale on this stuff starting tomorrow if anyone is interested), it counts up. But, it does give you a sense of psychological and even spiritual well-being that can't be priced. Not much to write about really. I'm realising that the blog is in serious danger of becoming snooze inducing in it's final throes. lol That's all folks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragmaala Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 eMeal 1 : 2x Aloo Paraunthe with Chaa ( I know , but I am slowly working on it I am just a beginner) Meal 2 ( 1scoop whey, 1 apple, 2 potatoes, almonds, raisins) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragmaala Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I just want to track my diet more carefully, cut down on rotis and try to get shredded lol. I am looking to get my diet critiqued, and devise a more carefully planned diet. I am a beginner in this so not much experience. And it does take some effort to arrange the plate consciously, lets see how it goes. My goal is for next 2 months. @dalsingh101@samurai Any other fitness guys, feel free to jump in. I find it appropriate to post it here, because this thread is health & diet related, and making better changes in lifestyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should've had either the potatoes or apples. Not both. Try and get a high protein, lowish carb breakfast to start the day with. Are you going to train as well? Gotta say, those aloo walay prontay look tasty...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragmaala Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Meal 3 . Just had rice at 3 pm. Still starving missing roti...it seems like my diet is loaded with carbs. Don't know what to replace with:( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 @Ragmaala.. i agree with dalsingh, your carb intake is pretty high especially seeing that your routine does not involve cardio of any sort..just a few suggestions.. as your not being consistent, instead of weight training every day..keep weights for mon/weds/fri..and tues and thurs do cardio/abs even something like skipping (5x3mins)...rest on weekends (or hit one or two mucles on a saturday)..its all bout quality not quantity..keep sessions short an sweet.. mon-chest/tris weds-back/biceps fri-legs and shoulder.. also another thing is if you want you can do chest with biceps and do back with tris..as this way you will be working the muscle twice in a week.. This is what i did when i trained last year with cousin.. bro, you really got to tackle those pranteh man..lol..as hard as it may seem. are you still on six meals a day? with training it really is a mental thing. like for me when i train i go hard, especially with diet etc, but when im not training i eat so much crap aswell..lol an put on weight...had it not been for this veg diet i would be in peak now trying other things, but im glad i went on this diet.. bro u can do it, its a mental thing where its tough for about 2 weeks or so after that you will get that 'enjoying' feeling..its all about consistency and when your mind says 'not today' make that a battle where you have to train and win..lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to cut rotian first lol. I have been on rotian since I was a kid , like 2 in morning 2 in afternoon 2 in evening, 6 rotis a day for last 20 years ...but since metabolism is starting to slow in late 20s have to be more careful. lol I am not sure how many meals I am going to need, just started today. Lets see how it goes. I am starving going to mash some sweet potato, lets see how long does that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 DAY 25: 25/2/16 Just finished a bit of all over weights (7 x light stiff leg deadlifts, 5 x weighted calve raises followed immediately by blank calve raises, 6 x preacher bi-curl with ez bar followed 3 sets of standing light dumbell burnouts, 5 sets of seated shoulder press with dumbbells). I have to say that today has been the best session so far (on this diet) in terms of energy and completing reps! It near enough matched my meat performance. Probably helped big time that I didn't train at all yesterday and maybe the extra carbs I've had from nibbling a few Oreo cookies throughout the day? Feel good about it. I still feel full of energy right now, which has been rare post-training. I could've done more but the battery on the speak I use to listen to tunes whilst I'm training, ran out. On the subject of cardio - I've notice my cardio training goes up in warmer weather. Maybe because you know you'll be wearing T shirts soon? lol @Ragmaala All through training I couldn't stop picturing your prontay with a nice fat, melting knob of butter on them. Seriously. If you must eat prontay, eat them with a big bowl of low fat Greek yogurt as this has a half-decent protein content. Don't forget to hunt out some cottage cheese too. Learn to check the nutrient levels of how much carbs, protein and fat the food you buy has. Quote Need to fit in Abs workout somewhere. Yea they are def. yummy, no wonder I have gained 5 lbs or tiddi over last 2 months lol. Balance your workouts out so that you do extra work on problem areas. If your weak/lagging in certain areas, put extra focus on those areas. Do more reps and longer sessions on them specifically. Build up to having 'core days' where you focus on this alone (or mostly) for instance. I'm as guilty as the next person with trying to stick on a few minutes of abs at the end of workouts. We have to watch out for this very common phenomena! lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, explain me how?. if you can't live without Rotiyan, eat it but use whole grain. Don't kill your rotiyan desires for these store bought bread.

Well I am going to try this diet and see how it goes. Even bread is a temp measure. Trust me rotiyan might have lots of love...but they also show love in your belly. Have you seen poor granthis and babas they have the love of rotiyan showing...after 30 your metabolism is not same to handle love of rotiyan lol yea I will try whole grain..one step at a time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
