Eat on time; 

Dont plan travel during the 7 days, else it goes for a toss;

And update the blog on a daily basis. Gets difficult to remember 3 days later!

Day 1 and 2

So life has some strange lessons. Especially when you are on a weight-loss program, there are hajjar suggestions that come. One of them was to maintain a food log and make it public (for my own humiliation). Here goes list of my sins: 

Day 1 - 1 July 15
7am: 2 karanjis
9:15am: 3 bananas
11:30am: 2 jeera biscuits 
12:30pm: 1 glass buttermilk

Day 2 - 2 July 15
10:15am: One bowl dahlia, Scrambled eggs, 2 slices of brown bread, baked tomato.

  When i started the program, i was 102.5 kg and this morning on 2 July i was: 

Day 2 @ Sayaji hotel, Kolhapur

The Bet: #20kgsIn6mths

Twice every year i make weight loss resolutions. 
The first resolve happens on 1 January - to achieve some health goal till my birthday... And my second one is post birthday goal - to become healthy and better by end of the year. 

Yup, that's the fattest pose.

This has been going on for many many many years. I have said "I want to break the cycle" many times. This has become a joke... I mean i have managed to kick some deadly habits, i have stayed *clean* for years, i have even exercised for 3 months regularly. So why is it that i am unable to stick to a program and lose some fat.



I am putting a wager on my performance. In the next 6 months (1 July to 31 December), i am going to lose 20 kilos. Achievable? What do you think?

Since i have failed miserably each time i have started a weight loss initiative, I am offering 1:2 odds. You can bet up to Rs 1000 on me.

Say, you bet Rs 1000/- that i WONT hit my target:
If i DONT - i donate Rs 2000/- to charity. 
If i DO - i take your Rs 1000/- and donate it to charity. 

Frontal isn't looking that bad...

I will donate my winnings or losses in half and half to http://www.secmol.org and http://www.akshayapatra.org which are two NGOs in India. 

You can commit the amount on this post, or on FB update or via Twitter. You can also join me on this challenge and choose to be healthy. Use #20kgsIn6mths


You can also support me by not asking me out for drinks or / and dinner from Saturday to Thursday (Friday is the cheat day). When i am going to order samosas and cheese dabeli, ask me to get fruit. You know, be the supportive person... 

Lets see if i see this thru with money at stake.
