Weight Loss 2025

Day 1 

The weight today was 74.9 Kgs. I have already lost 25 Kgs 15 more to go. Here is what I did since morning.

Today is my aunt's birthday, and I sent her my good wishes. Although it’s a normal day, it still feels special—special because I am alive, and all those I know and love are alive. That alone is enough to make any day meaningful.

It was a routine morning, but a bit different—my husband woke me up today. I had some water, freshened up, and then made my usual morning concoction.

My husband measured 100 grams of paneer, and I added some veggies to prepare a paneer wrap for his and my son's lunch. For my son's snacks, I packed black grapes, and for breakfast, I started preparing a strawberry shake.

I had two packets of strawberries, but some were spoiled. I carefully picked out the good ones, added a few more from the Costco pack, sprinkled some sugar, and set them aside. Then, I prepared nuts for my son.

Next, I made coffee for myself and my son, leaving it on simmer while I went upstairs to change into my walking clothes. After changing, I woke up my son and then came back downstairs—by then, the coffee was ready. I also made tea for my husband just as he and my son came downstairs.

We all had our morning coffee and tea together, and then my husband left for work.

After that, I prepared Gobi Paneer for my son's dinner and ironed some clothes. Then, we went upstairs for my son to get ready for school. I made the beds and came back down to make his strawberry shake.

Once he was done with his bath, he left for school, and I went for a walk. After returning, I joined work, checked my emails, then took a bath and did my prayers before getting fully ready for the day.

I gave breakfast to Scotty and resumed work. I messaged my husband and Dilkushi to give me a walkthrough of the new ticket I need to start working on. She said she would ping me soon, and I am still waiting.

In the meantime, I started reading The Alchemist and managed to read 34 pages. I had some water in between and a coffee break at 12. Now, I am writing this journal, and it feels great to put my thoughts into words. I will do this daily.

I came across a quote in The Alchemist that I really liked:
"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

I genuinely believe in this. Whenever I truly want to do something, situations align themselves to make it happen, as if there is a guiding force at play.

For example, this morning, I had a moment like that. It was my son's PE class, and his uniform wasn't ironed. I initially planned to iron it at lunchtime, but since I had some free time, I did it in the morning instead. Later, I realized how this small decision saved me from a last-minute rush. It was as if the universe guided me to do it at the right time. Otherwise, it would have been a struggle with my son's clothes not being ready.

God truly came to my rescue. Thank you, God.

When I was young, I used to recite a mantra called "Nagendra Haraya Trilochanaya." Over time, I forgot it, but today, I remembered it and decided to make it a part of my daily jai jai (prayer ritual). With the help of ChatGPT, I wrote the mantra on paper, and from tomorrow onwards, I will read it during my prayers. It brings a lot of positivity.

Also, when we lived in Noida, I used to watch a food blogger, Nisha Madhulika, and I loved her recipes. Today, I revisited her blog and learned how to make Malai Kofta—a dish of paneer and potato koftas in a creamy, tomato-based gravy. I have had it many times at restaurants, but I have never prepared it myself. Now, I will try making it at home.

I also used to write my own food blog, and today, I decided to start writing again. I revisited my old weight loss posts, and since I am currently on a weight loss journey, I have started documenting it on my blog from today, along with my daily journal.

Now, I am waiting for my husband and son to come home. I will have coffee, my husband will have tea, and if my son is hungry, he will have gyoza.
