Lets talk about losing it ;-)

Whenever i want an inspiration to lose weight...i look at this pic. Pics like these always inspire me to have a fab body. I knw that these pictures can be morphed and that it is crazy to think about getting a figure that...but for me this is a healthy inspiration...n always puts me in a frame of mind where i want to be fit and look my best...n yes inspires me to drink more water !!!!



Have you ever tried the jillian Michaels CD, well my verdict on two of those(30 day shred and Yoga Melt down) is that she is RUTHLESS !! in 20 min she can make you sweat like a pig and take you to s state where next day after your yoga you are not able to walk, sit and your muscles pain all over...yes that sounds like a perfect way to lose it(weight !!). ahem ahem..let me admit, so far these are the BEST DVDs i have seen on weight loss exercises(i hv tried many, either the exercise are not strenuous enough or the commentary is so boring that you loose your patience instead of weight). Best thing about this instructor(of the Biggest Loser fame) is her ABSOLUTELY fab body(watch out for her flat abs) which inspires you. Also i love the way she instructs and inspires her audience. even if u r doing the exercise 5th time, you would like her instructions. she has one liner punches like..."Get comfortable in being uncomfortable" or "if you are looking for modifications for jumping jacks look else where". The CD is divided into levels(based on intensity) and each workout has three deviations - beginner, intermediate(for some postures) and advanced.



I would seriously recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to lose weight but is press on time...do this 20min exercise, do it in a way that you give in all that you have and i m sure results will follow(of course the diet factor is absolutely essential as far as losing weight goes). Based on my experience you can really control your weight gain by controlling your diet(though have doubts if you can lose weight). and by saying controlling diet i meant eat well balanced diet + occasional splurges also, but eat everything in moderation and control what you eat before you go to bed(may be i should write a separate blog on diet).



Well enough of rambling, i will cut myself out now...Happy Monday....



Side Note: I am wonder why do we have only women in both these workouts, is it only meant for women!!! well...doesn't matter to me :)

Friday shopping....

There is nothing like friday shopping...best way to start your weekend and to finally ebb out the week's stress(confessions of a shopoholic :) )



I have not been into too much shopping since i am back to bangalore, reasons are basically tht i donot have much time(weekdays are hectic and so weekends are super lazy)...bt i FINALLY broke the rule and went out for shopping on Friday evening. Hubby was busy with meetings n office work and i was done with my work, so instead of waiting for him in office i went shopping...ended up doing some jewellwry shopping(some silver jwellery) and my fav magazine(Femina - they have a freebie- sample of new pantene prov for hair loss control...pssst....i personally feel prov is very powerful shampoo in terms of chemicals n chemicals can never stop hair fall...bt then it is my opinion!!! i knw ppl who wear by pantene products and have most beautiful tresses possible...)


1. Bought a tiny rectangle shape ear stud- its actually the shape of the earstud that attracted me

2. bought a shiny silver earring

3. bought a awesome rectangle shaped antique silver finish bangle(most expensive deal for the day)

and also pic of the nail color i will be wearing for this week(i m obsessed with nail colors)...its called steel grey and it is from Rimmel...n i like the dirty and merky color shade like these....earlier i used to wear all shades of pink bt then took a conscience decision to try newer shades and i m happy abt my decision....

weekend in its last leg....have a wonderful rest of the weekend...
