So... Finally I decided to take some serious steps towards losing weight. Really serious..Really pricey, but I am hoping it will be worth it. 

As my baby grows day by day, I am feeling older day by day while playing with him. He is only 11 months old and makes me wonder about my health. I have just one simple wish... much like hundreds of new moms out there... I want to he happy and healthy for my baby. I want him to see me exercise, eat well and stay well as he grows. Because that will (hopefully) make him eat well, exercise and stay well. Sounds about right...Doesn't it?
Losing weight is something I kept turning a a blind eye on and keep saying " oh God this is so hard, I am not getting anywhere and I don't know what to do, I don't have time" et cetera, et cetera

I know I gotta eat right and exercise. Fortunately in the past I have had exercise sessions with a trainer and have worked my ass off int he Gym so I do know what works for my body and what not. (Phew!) I have a tradmill at home which has eaten quet a bit of dust so far, but is now being used 3 times a week. Also there are plenty of boot-camps, Gym group exercises and other activities that will help keep the boredom away. (Thank God for finally ending the winter. I can at least think about outdoor activities!)

My weakness is...as you might have already guessed....I love food. I love Indian food, I love pizza, Indo-chinese, Italian, Thai, Mediterranean, Mexican, Tapas, Sushi... You name it and I will eat it. I (hopefully) know some foods are good for you, some are not! I avoid (seriously I do avoid) fried food, fatty food and try to make healthier choices, but...there is always a but(t)...What I don't know is how much to eat. This is where the nutritionist comes into picture. I initially thought of consulting one here in the US, but what do they know about Indian bodies and how we CANNOT eat without a roti or rice in the main meal? Its easy for them to say eat protein and veggies! But what they don't know is that makes me feel deprived and makes me eat cookies, bread, muffin and may be a slice of pizza from the cafeteria. Anyway... long story short, I decided to invest some money into Rujuta Diwekar's consultation. 

Man, It is PRICEY!!!! I signed up for the cheapest package which is a 2-month consultation with her team nutritionist, which I think I am ok with. Now why Rujuta, well, I liked her book Don't Lose Your mind.... Her ideas made sense to me! And that was enough for me to spend this year's bonus on ME!

I hope to learn more about food (yumm) from her team and kick-off a healthier lifestyle. I wish I don't have to use her consultation again in my life.

This is week one where I send them a log of measurements, 3 days eating and activities log and based on that we will start with the first session. 

Will keep ya'll posted! Wish me luck!!
