3.4 and counting!

We finally went back to the gym today after 1 week of not going due to myraid reasons and 3 days of nature and work conspiring against us! But we went today...and hit the target of 700 kcal with ease. :D

And the best part was despite playing turant and cheating on the diet to some extent (blame Coffee day's yummy samosas and their new low-cal carrot and nut cake, and of course their coffee), I am 3.4 kgs lighter...hurrah!!

I think this is all credit to the 'strict' low-carb diet....and i am not missing any of the food I used to crave. The only pain is to think of new things to make, but Sathya is so enthusiatic that it makes me want to read 1000 pages to find the one receipe that blows him away (well, not literally! I would never want him to lose so much weight!)

The Foodie me!

Thought of a new idea yesterday...I have been whipping a variety of 'diet' food for the last few weeks. So, why not blog those for posterity?

Check out my new blog - http://foodiearuna.blogspot.com/

Can you measure love?

Well, can you?

I am posting this despite the risk of sounding cliched. But an event that happened over the weekend has gotten me thinking about and how I can never ever fathom the depths of which my husband loves me!
He gave up his most precious weekend afternoon sleep (it cannot be called a siesta in his case :)) and waited for over 2 hours in front of a beauty parlour in the car, just so that he can be with me and we could have a coffee with me. Now, what do you call that?

Well, I kept squirming in my chair inside the parlour, silently willing the beautician to finish my pedicure fast..faster...so that I can get out of there and relieve the poor man of his wait. As a result of all the built up restlessness I took it out on him on why he came without calling first. Poor guy....

Sathya, I might not show it you in the many different ways that you do, but I really really do!! And you cannot measure that either! ;)
