Time for a change

Well not too long ago , my eating habits were completely messed up. There was no scheduling for any meals. Moreover I used to gorge over anything that was edible by the humans . This kind of haphazard routine started affecting my other activities as well . It started affecting my work and sleep as well. Though I must say , I wasn't like this since beginning.But 8 years of staying away from the family took its toll over me. Home cooked food made by Mom became like a dream for me. As they say , what you eat is what reflects in your body.Pot belly which is an unwanted by product of this kind of a life style is something that's really frustrating.You only realize this in the trial room of your Levi's store!!!

It was high time . I decided to change.Due to the change in work timings and working late till night , I am hardly able to see the early mornings the next day. Previously , I used to skip breakfast because of this. But now , I make it a point to eat something soon after an hour I wake up.Sometimes its 11.30 in the morning while I have me breakfast , but still I take it. Previously, the lunch used to be heavy and full of oily stuff .Now I rather prefer for something light and in optimal quantity so that you don't get that drowsiness feeling. snacks at around 6 pm comprising of fruits and juices as well at times has also found its way in my daily routine.Also did I cut down on the number of tea breaks in the office . Trust me the machine tea/coffee made up of skimmed powdered milk is not good for stomach.

since its quite late by the time I reach home, I see to it that I take my dinner asap which is again not to heavy.Then I probably read something or surf on the net as one must not sleep immediately after meals.No compromise on sleep .No matter what time I sleep , 8 hours is a must.Though its not a long time that I have started following this routine, the results are more than satisfactory. I also feel that there is an increase in the energy levels in the body. It has also helped me to reduce a little weight as well. I am sure with each passing day, things will improve and I shall be able to get back the body and fitness which I had when I was in school :-)

The reason why I wrote all this is because there would be many who might just correlate their routine with mine(previous) and are willing to opt for a change now. Remember guys nothing is impossible. Its all about making a choice
