How to lose 5 lbs in 2 weeks?

January 13 to 28

It's been a long time and I haven't reviewed Caroline's work outs. I was super unmotivated and I had my exams I was eating and exercising well and I was in a calorie deficit like Greg doucette has said and I have lost 5 pounds in two weeks. And I'm super happy about it, and I want to tell  everything about that to you. So this week went absolutely amazing. I did all Caroline's workouts and they were super tough. My upper body is stiff and I am very tight in my upper body and I'm sore and but I think it's it's a good sign. I have been eating in a calorie deficit and I'm losing weight. 

I have to give you a super great recipe about the wrap that I eat every day with every meal. I mean I eat one Roti with some subzi and one wrap every day and it feels me it fills my stomach and I don't get as hungry. So the wrap includes a little bit of ketchup,spinach and chicken or scrambled eggs or Just spinach with some capsicum or Chilli or  tomato sometimes and then I wrap it up and then eat it with my meal with my Roti and sabzi and I am full. As a snack I eat anabolic popcorn by Greg  Doucette. I pop all the popcorn kernels and then put some honey on top like teaspoon of honey on top because it has because honey has many calories so I don't put a lot of it. Just like a teaspoon of it. Then I sprinkle some cocoa powder on it and some protein powder on it and then I mix it up and then eat it and it keeps me very energetic and full. I have been walking 10,000 steps a day more sometimes and I am feeling super light also, I'm on my period but still I'm not as bloated as I am ntormally and I am losing weight. Otherwise on my period, I'm super heavy.

I tried Greg doucettes  Anabolic ice cream but I don't have the xantham gum. So it isn't as stiff as it is supposed to be and it kind of feels like a smoothie and I don't like the taste of it so I don't eat it. I eat anabolic popcorn and the wrap from Greg Doucettes cookbook, which is absolutely amazing. My 199 dollars are well spent and I can eat everything from that. If you don't have it if you don't want to buy a book just watch his videos on YouTube. You can follow his recipes from there. Whatever you like. If you don't want to spend your money on that book, you can watch his videos. He's a kinesiologist. He's not a doctor. He's a kinesiologist and he's amazing. He has helped me his book, his knowledge has helped me lose weight. I was plateauing for a while now for like four months now I was Stuck on my weight, but now as I am in a calorie deficit I am losing my weight. I have said in the past that calories do not matter, but no they do if you want to lose with you have to get be in calorie deficit. Otherwise, you won't be losing weight. 

There is a myth that eating more will help you lose weight. Well eating more lower calorie dense foods will help you lose weight. If you eat lower calorie dense foods, then you'll be full and you you won't be eating as much so yes eat more of lower calorie dense foods and you will lose weight. Also, I watched Alivia D'Andreas glow up Diaries of her losing 32 pounds of fat and I think that she's amazing. I am so happy for her for losing that much weight and people are hating on her that she had an eating disorder and she's into getting help but she is here now and she there are only two episodes she has posted and we don't know that much about her journey yet. We can't blame her of something she isnt diagnosed with. She's amazing. If you want to lose weight watch her videos, she motivates people and she has posted her own transformation on her Channel and she looks amazing. Now. She looks healthy and happy now. She has a positive mindset and I hope she'll help you. Now back to Caroline's workouts. Oh my God, they're getting super hard these days. Today is one our full full body, and I am super excited. Yesterday was an active rest day , but I didn't do her cardio the lower steady state cardio. I didn't do that because you know, she kicks ass and I wasn't ready to get my ass beaten. So I did Lilly Sabri's cardio box workout of Linda sun challenge and that that was that was amazing.  I recommend you doing Lilly Sabris workouts,  If you are a beginner, she has lower weight workouts and they are cardio-based work out and  you'll lose weight. If you do that also eating in a calorie deficit  will help you lose weight. 

Also do some cardio do any type of cardio that you like like steady state cardio like cycling or walking or running. If you if you can do the cardio you're doing for two hours straight without getting tired then taht is the best cardio.for you..I walked ten thousand steps a day. That's my preferred state of cardio. And that is how you can lose weight. If if I plateau again then I'll change my cardio method I think but I think that 10,000 steps are enough for me. And you don't have to walk 10,000 steps if you can't but at least 6000 7000 steps are enough and they will help you lose with her will help you lose weight. Just be kind of active don't just lie around all day and don't be a couch potato you can be a couch potato after completing your daily step.goal.

 Strength training is for building muscle. It isn't for losing weight. So don't think that doing weight training will help you burn more calories. No, it isn't . Cardio will help you lose weight. 

cardio is the best form of exercise that you can do to lose weight. If you if you have to pick one exercise that you can do for your whole life then what would you pick? I would pick my walking because walking is a state of cardio. It is good for your heart. Heart is the most important muscle of our body. We have to protect our Heart by doing cardio. 

Cardio will help you loose weight. Just believe me. Believe what Greg Doucette says. He's a bodybuilder. He's not stupid. 

Thank you. So that is my advice on losing five pounds in two weeks. Maybe you you'll lose more than that. Maybe you lose less than that. Don't get demotivated. You will lose weight. If you are in a calorie deficit if you're doing more cardio, and if you're eating less calories than you are burning then you will lose weight. 

Thank you. Bye. ❤

Greg doucette makes a lot of sense!

 19:48

Hi everyone. So I am following the Caroline Girvan, Workout plan and I am super excited to share my experience with you and I hope I can give you some motivation to follow along. She is a great Fitness YouTuber and I love her and I love her workouts and it gives me a good pump. I hope you are following along too.

 So today I woke up at around 6:50 and I was super thrilled because I was going to make Greg doucettes famous anabolic ice cream and I actually failed because I don't have the Ninja blender and I don't have xantham gum or guar gum or anything, but I actually tried making an ice cream, but I accidentally Made a smoothie and I had that it was pretty good. And then after that I had my morning lectures, so I attended those then I had to work out so I had dahi boondi and then I worked out with Caroline actually it was a Pretty good workout. It was quad and lower abs workout. It was really Pumping and my legs were shivering after the workout. Then I was super hungry. So I had lunch. Actually I had made poha for breakfast for my family and I was craving them so I had that for lunch and then I went for a walk but not a long walk. I went for like a 10-minute walk because I just wanted to get Fresh air, so I went for a walk and I did not get that much steps in then I came back home and I met a friend so I you know spent like 45 minutes talking. 

Then I came home and I was hungry again. So I ate Greg  Doucettes famous anabolic popcorn and I actually made them. The recipe is his in his cookbook. I'll just give you the ingredients just not the ingredients, but just the overview that they are protein popcorns. You have to watch his video. I'll link it down below and  they were super good. They were actually like chocolate popcorn. And yeah, they tasted super good. Then I had to make dinner. So I was  standing for about two hours. I think cooking is also a great form of cardio and I was hungry again at six. So I ate a banana.

I haven't had dinner yet and I'll be having dinner with my two rotis. I'll have I have rotis and I'll have the cauliflower sabzi with it. Yeah, and I got about 6,000 steps in today. I know they are very less than my usual last week. I actually reach 10,000 steps and I thought that I would continue it for a long time, but I didn't walked six thousand steps today. I was very lethargic andtomorrow I'll not not be walking that many steps because I am fasting tomorrow and it will be pretty. Boring day I won't be eating anything. I won't be drinking anything. I'll just have breakfast and I'll directly have dinner. Yeah, so that's pretty much all and I had 7 glasses  of water today. And yeah, I gained a lot of knowledge today from Greg Doucettes video you have you guys have to watch him and he is a Bodybuilder and he is he's a Kineologist or something. I don't know. Yeah, so he is super intelligent and he makes sense all of the time and he isn't wrong. He definitely isn't and he has more knowledge than most of the fittest YouTubers and I realized that I was doing everything wrong before I wash his videos and now I am taking a greater step and follow 

His steps and all and I've already lost our like a kilo and I am very happy about it. I actually gained two kilos when I thought that I was eating to less and I was that is why I was overweight. I mean, I'm not overweight . Of course. I have lost my weight but I literally thought that I was eating very less and that is why I wasn't losing any weight, but he has made me realize that it's  the food intake that you Take the calories have to be low. I mean the it has to be Optimum to a needs but you can still pretty much eat anything. Of course, it has to be healthy, but it has to contain less fat and more and more proteins carbs don't matter according to him and he actually really makes a lot of sense. You have to watch him. Yeah, so that is pretty much it. Also I watched will

 Will Tennyson. He is also a great guy and he also makes a lot of sense than all other Fitness YouTubers and I have realized that a how much stupid have been by listening to all these YouTubers who don't have that much knowledge and who preached by, you know, following along blogs on internet and that that is pretty much what I was preaching until now but I have now realized that calories do matter. 

And yes, eating less calories will make you lose weight and eating Optimum calories will help you maintain weight and eating more calories will get winter a surplus and then you'll gain weight. Yeah, so that is pretty much it. I am actually eating around 1,300 1,400 calories a day and I am pumping with motivation and I'm very feeling very healthy. And yeah, I'm losing weight. I mean I lost a kilo so I don't know how much I'll be losing ahead. But yeah. Yeah, so thank you. 

Thank you for tuning in. I hope you are following along the Caroline workouts and they are very effective and they are great for muscle building. Also, you have got to include your car do it could be anything. It could be any any sort of cardio steady State cardio options. 

I mean if you can do it for next 2 hours without getting much tired, then that is the optimum that is the amount of cardio you need without fail and you have to get your cardio. And I mean you have to get at least 150 minutes of cardio a week. It is good for your heart is good for your health. It is good for your fat loss weight loss and everything and you have to get in your cardio.

 Yep. Thank you. That is pretty much it. Bye guys Love you. ❤

Caroline Girvan EPIC 2 - Day 10

 

Hi! So I have taken part in the Caroline Girvan EPIC challenge and I hope I can motivate you to take part as well. 

So! It's a Saturday morning and yesterday I did not want to post. I was too lazy and I was watching Haunting of the Bly Manor. It's a crazy show, isn't it?! 

I am writing this for yesterday. Yesterday I woke up at 7 maybe and I was happy, I had no lectures at all. It was a holiday! But I had to clean my house so I spent like 30 minutes dusting and all. Then it was time for my breakfast and I wanted something new. So I tried pancakes by Blogilates. It was not my first time trying those, I have actually made those once but I did not like the eggy taste of it. So yesterday I decided to add some cinnamon and vanilla in it. It tasted literally so good! And they were like VERY SOFT. Also the eggy taste was not there at all and it fulfilled my requirements of protien. It is a 2 ingredient pancake. 2 eggs and 1 banana! Just mix them up and make them. They were fantastic and they require no special skills. You can give it a  try if you want. 

Okay so after breakfast I decided to take a walk. I walked for 45 minutes I think. Then I had to make lunch and I spent an hour doing that. I had 2 fresh figs as a snack. Then I had to workout. It was an hour of it! I was kind of lazy but I did it. I died during those swing squats. Caroline literally kicks your butt in the best way possible. After my workout I stretched for a bit and then I had my lunch which was Winter special Green Lassun with bajra roti and roasted egg plant. It was SO GOOD. 

It was a heavy lunch and so I did not have any snack.  I made dinner and had it at 8 I think. Dinner was mutton curry with roti. I also had some salad at side. It was a fulfilling dinner. 

In all I had walked about 5000 steps and had 7 glass of water. Today is a rest day and I am relieved. 

I had pancakes today too with some peanut butter drizzled on top. I have made my peanut butter at home so it doesn't include any sugar. When  you buy peanut butter make sure it is not  as calorie dense or then you will have problems losing fat.

Bye❤

Caroline Girvan EPIC 2 - Day 9

 

Hi! So I have taken part in the Caroline Girvan EPIC 2 challenge and today was day 9. I am so happy that I have gotten this far and I am still motivated to complete all 50 days. I hope I can help you in some or the other way. 

So! I woke up at 7 today hoping that there wouldn't be any important lectures and luckily there were not. I was literally so happy and that made my whole day BETTER. I was just not concerned about anything and lived my morning. I had tea to wake myself up and then I decided to listen to a podcast about finance and stuff. Then I headed on to make my breakfast and honestly I did not knoww what to eat and I was just roaming around in the kitchen wandering what to eat, when I thought of making my favourite breakfast option,  a yogurt bowl! I made my homemade special granola and added some honey on top. I did not have any fruits except apples and so I cut up an apple and munched on half of it while making my granola. I honestly made a little bit too much of granola. But I loved it ! After breakfast i decided to take a walk and so i did. I walked for an hour I guess. 

Then I read my favourite book. I was so engrossed in it that I read continuously for about an hour that rarely ever happens .. soo .. that must be a real good book. Caroline had already posted her workout and I was very excited as it was an upper body day. I started the workout and OH BOY. I hadn't even completed half of it and my upper body was shivering. The biceps part was the worst. I could not do any more than 5 reps of those. But practice makes perfect. I will try and try and will succeed one day. 

I had my lunch a little late today. I don't know I just was not very hungry. Must be that granola. Also I had a fresh fig as a snack. I did not have anything for an evening snack. I was tired. I dont know why. Then I had to cook dinner and so I continuously stood and walked in the kitchen for 3 hours ! That was too much. But I am happy. I made a meal that fulfills the stomachs of my family. I learnt something new. I had never made dhokla before. Today I did it. Also I had that for dinner. Odd. I know..  but hey you can eat anything you want anytime you want. Also I discovered Greg Doucette and he really focuses on calories in the food. I agree with him and he totally made sense. He doesn't say that you need to eat less and weigh less to look good. He says that knowing what you are eating is the most important thing. A handful of nuts contain 200 calories and a BIG BOWL of popcorn contains the same. Now you will obviously finish the handful of nuts in 5 seconds whereas the BIG BOWL of popcorn will last you 10 minutes and that will trick you into eating more and weighing less. And he also says that you don't need to Lose weight to be healthy. He has given many more examples like Candy and ice cream and stuff. He also has some delicious recipes! You and I have GOT to try them. 

Alright; I walked about 7000 steps today and had 7 glasses of water. A bit tired with all that standing but yeah .. now I am going to bed. Get your beauty sleep in! 

Bye ❤

Healthy and tasty butterscotch icecream

 Hi! We all love ice cream! Be it anyone. Now, I've got an ice cream with a twist. It is HEALTHY! 

And it is TASTY! You can make it vegan too. If you add plant based milk instead of regular milk. 

Now now.

Today's recipe is full of flavour too. For the crunch in the ice cream we will be adding crushed almonds. And for the taste of butterscotch we will be adding the essence. 

Ingredients: 

1-2 bananas

2-3 tablespoons of milk or plant based milk of your choice. 

1 tsp of butterscotch essence

A pinch of red food colour.

15-20 almonds/cashews  (crushed) 

1 tsp Sweetener of your choice 

Recipe: 

Cut up the bananas in half. Add them to the juicer/ mixer. Add the milk, the food colour, the essence and the sweetener. Add some almonds/cashews. Then blend it for 3-4 minutes on slow. Now take it out in a bowl and let it chill inside the freezer for 5 minutes. Then take it out in a serving bowl and sprinkle some almonds/  cashews on top. 

Your healthy icecream is READY! 

you can change up the ingredients here and there by adding chocolate chips or some pistachios (with a green food colour) some blueberries (blue /purple food colour). 

You can add some cocoa powder and some cocoa nibs for the extra crunch. 

You can add some other fruits like strawberries or custard apple or even pineapple for some tangy taste.

About 1 small bowl of that icecream contains 200 calories (not that they matter) justice for your reference.

Enjoy your ice cream! I hope you like it! ❤

Caroline Girvan EPIC 2 - day 8

 

Hi! I am taking part in the Caroline Girvan EPIC challenge and I will be sharing my experience here. I hope you are taking part in the challenge and if not I hope I motivate you to do so. 

I woke up at 6 today. I had some homework and some accounts to do so I didn't sleep back again. I had my tea and that made me feel fresh. After the homework was done I walked to calm my self. I was not feeling very good today and I was having an anxiety attack. I listened to some calming music and walked in the nature for 20 minutes. I had uttapam with veggies for breakfast. 

I had my lectures the whole morning and so I was a bit stressed and to distress myself I also had a cup of green tea with cinnamon. Then after my lectures I did today's workout. Caroline is the best you know. She included killer moves that made me shiver with pain but after my workout I felt REAL good. Then I walked for another 20 minutes. 

I had had 4 glasses of water till noon. I had 2 glasses as soon as I woke up to gain energy and to help me focus. I had rice with moong beans for lunch. I was full and so I decided to walk for another 20 or so minutes. I had my evening tea and then my stomach started hurting and I wanted to eat something sweet. I had 3 tsp of chocolate sprinkles. Odd choice I know. But I ddint have anything else to munch on. I also had a tsp of peanut butter and a glass of water so that I wouldn't eat a whole lot. 

Then I had to cook dinner and so I did that. After that I was still not calm. Today was a disaster. I was panicking for absolutely no reason and so I decided to walk again. After that I painted to calm myself down. I had dinner at 8. I had eggs with potatoes and rice. Again odd choice. But egg curry tastes very good. You have got to try it. 

So in total I walked about 10000 steps today. YAY! but still my day didnt go very well. I am fine now. I also had 8 glasses of water and I am SUPER proud. 

How did your day go? 

Bye❤❤

Caroline Girvan EPIC 2 day 7

 

Hi!! I am taking part in the Caroline Girvan challenge and I will be telling you my experience of today. It is really easy to have a plan and get your workouts ready made every day. I hope you are in for the challenge too. 

So!! I woke up at 6:45 today, to be honest I was tired a bit. I don't know why, I have these days when I am tired and lethargic and sleepy all day. I decided to have my tea so that I could feel a bit fresh. Then I read Norwegian woods by Haruki Murakami. After an hour or something it was time for my breakfast and so I had uttapam with some ketchup. I made the uttapam in ghee so that I would fulfill my requirements of ghee for the day. Then I walked for like an hour. 

I had my lectures at 10 and so I attended those. I didn't have any morning snack as I was full from the uttapam. Then it was time for the workout so I did that. I am telling you my shoulders were crying by the end. But it was a good workout. I somehow love upper body day than a lower body workout. I then had my lunch which was yesterdays leftover meat pulao with beans and peas. I was very sleepy by then so I slept for like 1 and a half hour. When I wwoke up I felt fresh and energetic. I had my tea to wake my self up and I had to make dinner so I cut up an apple and drizzled some peanut butter on top and had that while cooking. A monkey jumped in my balcony right now and I almost peed! 

I am walking right now as I write this. My goal is atleast 8000 steps or more. I will have my dinner around 7:30 PM. I have had 5 glasses of water up till now and I am hoping I can gulp down 2 more. 

By far my day went wonderful! How about you? 

Bye❤ see ya tomorrow!

Caroline Girvan EPIC 2- Day 6

 

Hi! I am participating in the new EPIC challenge by Caroline Girvan and I hope you are too. If you are not I hope I give you some motivation to do it.

So yesterday was a rest day and I so I took complete rest but then I was bored so I walked about 8000 steps. I woke up at 6: 45 today and it was a Sunday morning so I was chill otherwise I am always busy doing something on regular days. Robin Sharma says that after 10 minutes of waking up your brain is really active and no other thoughts are interrupting it so at that time you should do something productive like read something that gives you knowledge or journal or listen to podcasts or audio books for like 20 minutes. So I wanted to follow that so I heard a podcast " Honestly by Tanmay Bhat "where he talks about finance and stocks. I don't  know shit about that so I am trying to get more knowledge of the stock market and what really happens in our economy. I heard that for 20 minutes and then it was time for my breakfast. I had oatmeal with apple and peanut butter. It was really filling and yummy. 

Then I wanted a change so I walked/ran for an hour or something. Then I read "Norwegian woods" by Haruki Murakami. It really is a good book and some how it calms me down. Books usually give me stress. I don't know why. I know it's weird and books are supposed to calm you down be it any book. But I don't know for some reason I can't just read peacefully and patiently. Anyway so then it was time for my workout and it was a HIIT day. Oh boy. I hate that! I was stressed since yesterday about today's workout. But then after I got into my workout clothes I just went on with the workout. It was a good one. A dumbbell HIIT workout. I hate HATE those Cardio based HIIT workouts. I couldn't really do those punch in the air with dumbells. I have to work on them a little bit more. Then I went on with my day by doing nothing much. 

I had butterscotch yogurt with some almonds. It was my invention and it tasted really yummy. I had uttapam for lunch. I had only one because I just can't digest it. I get all acidic and stuff. And I wasn't hungry until 6 in the evening. I had peanut butter and a date as a snack. Also I made a meat pulao with beans and peas for dinner. I'll have that around 7:45 or 8. 

In total I walked about 8500 steps today. I'll walk some more after dinner maybe. So it will be 10000 steps for the day. WOOH! I had 7-8  glasses of water and I am really happy. 

How did your day go?

Caroline Girvan EPIC 2 - Day 5

  

Hi!! So ... I am taking part in the Caroline Girvan EPIC 2 challenge and I hope that you are too and if you are not then I hope I can provide you some motivation to follow along. 

Yesterday was an active rest day and so I walked about 7000 steps and also cleaned my house so it was kind of a workout also I was continuously standing for 2 hours as I had to cook. I must've burnt calories while doing that too. So the day went well I guess. 

Today I woke up at 6:45 and I felt kind of lethargic so I had my morning tea and dates with almonds for some energy. Then I walked for about 45 minutes and also ran for 12 minutes I think. It felt wonderful running to my favourite 00s music. What is your favorite genre ? Mine is mostly pop and sometimes electronic. 

I had an egg omelette with a roti for breakfast. I loaded my omelette with green chutney and tomato sauce. Sounds yucky I know. But it tasted yummy! Then I had my lectures and after those I walked again for 10 minutes or something. By then Caroline had already posted today's workout so I did that. It was an hour of torture. Just kidding, I was completely in a "I feel like I am alive but I am dead" situation. It was a full body day with dumbells including super sets. We all hate repeating the same exercises. Don't we? But Caroline says that doing sets actually gives you more progress and hitting that muscle group again really proves into effect. Also I just can't do one leg hamstring thingy's. What about you? 

I had a glass of water before and after workout. Also I had 2 rotis with ghee and some gavar sabzi with 2 roasted papad. I was so full after that and so I didn't have any evening snack. Well I had one biscuit. But I don't count that as a whole snack. Then I had to cook dinner, I cooked some pasta with tomato sauce and also some cabbage sabzi with khichdi. I did some chores standing and also walked a little bit. Then I had dinner. Some khichdi with ghee and sabzi and some pasta. 

Overall my day went really well. I had 7 glasses of water and walked about 6000 steps a day today. I'll be doing stretching tomorrow as it is a rest day. 

How was your day? 

Bye for now ❤

Caroline Girvan EPIC 2 - Day 4

 January 6th, 2021

Hi!! I am taking part in the Caroline Girvans EPIC 2 challenge and I hope you are too. 

So my day started today at 7:15 am. I didn't have lectures till 10 today so I had an absolute free morning. I got done with my "chores" and then it was time for breakfast. I always eat before 9 am. Make sure to eat proper meals at proper time schedules, it helps a lot. I had Yogurt bowl with homemade granola. I don't know how you make granola but I take 2 tbsp oats and heat them up, add some flax seeds in it, some cocoa powder and some cinnamon, a tsp of peanut butter and a tsp of honey. It tastes really good. So! After my breakfast I started walking and I was listening music, Harry Styles is my absolute favorite and also some Bollywood songs that pass my vibe. The song Golden came up and I started running the way Harry runs, I was not expecting a 10 minute run. 

I don't usually run in my apartment for obvious reasons, but I don't know what happened to me. So I walked/ran for about 45 minutes. Then I had my lectures so I attended those. By the time I finished my studying Caroline Girvan had already posted the workout which was Core and Full body workout. I was weirdly excited for it and I did it really easily. The workout contained core strengthening movements in the beginning and then afterwards it was full body focused exercise including makers. Oh God I hate them. I don't know why but the dumbells just hurt my fingers so much that I get distracted and lose my charm. 

After my workout I did a 10 minute stretching routine that I made up containing really basic stretches. I had yesterdays leftover Radish Paratha and then I had to cook dinner which was Mutter Paneer. I love Paneer. How about you? So I cooked that and then I took a nap. I had fresh figs and some peanut butter for evening snack, then I made chapatis. I had my dinner around 7:30 PM and I almost had 6 glasses of water today. Walked 6500 steps today. 

Overall I am proud for making it through the day without being a lazy potato that I was yesterday. Also I am reading Norwegian woods and so far I am hooked. Do you read? What books do you recommend to an absolute beginner me but an enthusiast. 

Also are you in for the challenge?

Caroline Girvan EPIC 2 Day 3

 Hi! So I am taking part in the Caroline Girvan Epic 2 challenge and I will be sharing my experience here, the challenge is completely free and it's on YouTube.. I discovered Caroline Girvan through Linda sun and I am so happy I did. Are you in for the challenge? I hope you are❤

I spent my day kind of lazily today and it did not go as well as I had planned for it to go. I have been a total couch potato today. 

I woke up at 7:15 am and I had oatmeal batman banana and strawberries with some peanut butter on top as breakfast. Then I had my morning lectures so I attended those. After lectures, I was waiting for Caroline to post today's workout. I was really excited for today because I love working on my upper body. I did not want to to cardio or a HIIT workout today and thus I skipped rope for about 10 minutes with 1-2 minutes break in between. After that Caroline had already posted the workout so I did that. Loved the workout honestly. Time flew while doing it. 

- Hydrate properly after your workouts

- Have a protien shake or something with protien 

- Have a banana or any fresh fruit.

I had my lunch which was yesterdays leftover Tinda sabzi with ghee rotis. Then I walked for about 40 minutes and after that I lied in my bed watching Defending Jacob. It's a wonderful series and honestly I was hooked so I watched it for 4 hours straight. And while watching it I had khakhra. 

I got up for making dinner which was Raddish Paratha. It was really tasty! I had it with some green chili chutney on the side. You know green chilli has nutrients too. You should have achaar and  chutneys on the side. 

I am in my bed right now and probably will be till tomorrow morning, Not the most productive day. But it was well spent . I walked 5000 steps today and had 6 glasses of water. 

How did your day go? 

Bye💓

Caroline Girvan EPIC 2 - Day 2

 

Hi! I am taking part in the Epic 2 challenge by Caroline Girvan and I'll be sharing my experience with it here. 

My day went really well today. I felt healthy and toned. I did not feel that much bloated and my food was well digested than it usually is.

I woke up at 7:15 am today, I had morning lectures and after that I walked for a little bit and then fortunately Caroline posted the warm up so I did that. Caroline had said in some other warm up video that doing HIIT along with the EPIC workouts would help a little bit more. I wanted to challenge myself a little bit and wanted to know how much my body is capable of so I did a 10 minute HIIT workout by Sydney Cummings. I was panting and puffing by the end of it but I still managed to do it. 

By then Caroline had posted the leg workout. It was 50 minutes long. OH GOD. I hate lunges and today's workout included a lot of those. I used a 10 kg dumbbell for it. I died by the end of it. Also I used 2 10 kg dumbells for the first time today for the Romanian dead lift and I am very proud of myself. Always remember everyone starts somewhere. Do not come into pressure and try to do the hardest and destroy your self.  I did my workout today without my usual tantrums and I am happy that I am capable of doing this much. 

Also, I had a banana firstly after waking up, then after an hour or something I had oatmeal with apple and some strawberries for breakfast. I had yesterdays left over chicken Biryani for lunch. I walked for like 45 minutes after lunch, doing that really helps my digestion and I feel really calm when I walk. I had Dahi Bundi as an evening snack. Not the healthiest option, I know but I love it, and so I had it! 

Also I cooked dinner today after a long time and to be honest I loved it. Rujuta Diwekar says that doing daily chores really help in your fitness journey and I so I am trying to not be a lazy figure and work a little bit more to achieve my dream. I cooked Tendli sabzi and khichdi. Ah!! Loved it. I had it with a teaspoon of ghee. Ghee is healthier fat and you must have it for majority of nutrients that it provides. I also had almost 6 glasses of water which is better than yesterday. I also walked 7000 steps and I am so happy that I am trying to accomplish everything I want. 

How did your day go? 

Bye for now ! ❤

Caroline Girvan Epic 2 - Day 1

 January 3, 2021 

Hi! So, I am taking part in the Epic 2 challenge by Caroline Girvan and I am literally so excited to get more strong! I will be sharing my experience hopefully everyday. Today was Day 1 and here is how it went. 

So, I kind of over exercised today. I did not think that the workout would be up early and so I did Pamela Reif's 20 minute booty workout and then 10 minute lower ab workout by Vicky Justiz. After I did that Caroline posted the 9 minute warmup and I did that. Then she posted the actual workout for today and I did that! So it was kind of a lot for me. But I did it. To be honest I felt EPIC after today's workout. It was a Cardio and HIIT workout. I literally hate Cardio and HIIT and both of them combined I like a nightmare to me. But still I did it and almost died by the end of it. The Cardio was supposed to be Low impact but it actually was not as low impact as I expected it to be. I felt wonderful and I am looking forward for tomorrow's workout. 

Also I am eating kind of intuitively and not counting calories.  Counting calories kind of chains me down and I do not like that. So moving on I had Poha for breakfast with a cup of tea. Then I had a banana and some Kachariyu ( a sweet made of black sesame seeds particularly eaten in winter). I had Bhindi and roti for lunch. I also had a yogurt bowl with an apple and some strawberries on the side as an evening snack. I will have Chicken Biryani for dinner now. I also walked about 7000 steps today and I am quite proud. I will stretch a little before going to bed and I have had 5 glasses of water till now. I know its quite less but I am trying. I will go to bed around 10 PM because I have lectures tomorrow. 

How was your day? Are you in for the challenge? 

I Hope you are ! Bye ❤

Lose fat easily (New years resolution)

 Hi!! Welcome the year 2021, embrace it; be grateful that you have passed this year apparently the 'worst year'. Be grateful for your health, your family, that you have a home and that you have your life together. As together as a flock of birds flying to their nests at dusk. You have your life together and you are aware about what you are doing and that is why you are here reading this blog to help you become more healthier than you already are. So, embrace this year and whatever happens this year, do not blame the year for it or do not just decide that this year will be the worst too. Be positive. Be happy and take care of your self. 

I wanted to lose weight and I did but then I wanted to challenge my self a lot more so I just started searching about good workouts that improve your health and body and gets you more toned. I came to know about weight training. Now you do not have to have a gym membership to do weighted workouts. On YouTube there are many AMAZING influencers that help us.

 So,  back to me, I was too afraid that I would look manly if I lifted weights but slowly and gradually my attraction towards them started  to grow and I bought my first pair of 2 kg dumbells. I did Lilly Sabri's workout with them. Those 15 days of Lilly Sabri's workout were the best days of my life. It really changed my whole outlook on working out. Then I wanted more. So I bought another 5 kg and 10 kg dumbells. I started Sydney Cummings workouts with 5 kg dumbells and I loved it. Then I found out about Caroline Girvan though my beloved Linda Sun and honestly I've never been happier. 

Caroline Girvan is the loveliest person on YouTube that I know and her workouts kill me. But I love them. I've been doing her workouts since December and I feel stronger and stronger everyday. I love her and I am sure you will too. I know that 5 and 10 kg are not heavy but still everyone starts somewhere and If you are at 2 kg do not be ashamed of it. One day you will get there.

Caroline Girvan's new challenge epic 2 starts on January 3rd 2021 and I am in! 

Are you? 

I will post my experience everyday hopefully until the challenge ends. 

Love ya !! Bye !! ❤
