Workout's by Chucky - 100+ Calories Workout!

Hi There...

Have you ever thought if you could squeez in a small workout session in the middle of your long office hours?

How charged it would get you?

How balanced you can be?

And how much more active and healthy...

For over 3 years now i have been struggling with my long office hours... (12 hours a day)

I seldom do get the time to move... and even if i move there are no stair case in my office.. if  i folow the 50 - 10 rule that is 50 minutes working and 10 minutes walking it will be too evident as i sit next to the GM's Room!

So friends all of you right there stuck like me on an office chair.. can now workout and lose 100 calories in your tea breaks!

You will need:

1. A little space : can be your cabin which can be locked and should be covered.. dont worry this will only take 10 minutes so you can lock your room for 10 minutes. I suggest if you have a toilet that can be a little spacious like mine it can be easily used..

2. Some wet and dry tissues...

3. A mobile watch...

Start with the following:

30 seconds  - Arm swings

30 seconds - Windmills

1 Minute     - Marching In Place
1 Minute     - High knees jogging in Place

1 Minute     - Jumping Jacks

1 Minute     - Skipping rope movement

1 Minute     - Butt Kicks

1 Minute     - Jumping Jacks

1 Minute     - Squat Kicks or High front kicks

1 Minute     - Mild jogging

1 Minute     - Skiing in Place

30 Seconds - Cool down Streching

______________________________________________________

TOTAL TIME INVOLVED-    10 Minutes 30 Seconds

================================================

If you are one of those who work in an office where these things are completely out of imagination or the sweat (little that wd be) would spoil your hair and make up then try fitting this excercise in the morning.. or use it as a preparation for begginers who are starting working out!

TC!

DAY 1 : INSANITY WORKOUT

In the Pic: Insanity 60 days Total body Conditioning By Shaun T

Have you seen this logo? Well if you have I can bet you are or will be in a better shape-

About a week ago... I was searching for a calendar I can use for my personal 60days weight loss program starting 1st June 2011... My weight loss plan is quite effective and with given proper conditions i can lose weight as I have lost alot before when I was in my home town.. but my home town was humid - free of air conditioning, so and so forth.. We dont have all the great things to eat there... you practically have less to binge -

But that was a long before story I was 18 then... Today I am 25 and much weaker in mind...A while ago I have done a lot of Jillian Micheals and I totally love her but some how...she dont work for me.. She can get you in good shape but the weight loss wont just be that attractive for a person like me who has to sit for 12 hours a day at office...

Yesterday.. I started Insanity - it started on a bad note cause I was on a fight with my BF - so the mood was all heated up..and I struggled to fix the dvd.. but as a determined person I didnot want to miss the calendar date it would kill me inside if I missed June 1st - Just a mind thingy u know..

I started and the warm up was not enough for me to make me warm... - I literally threw up every other second on the fit test... I would run to the basin to puke it was painful... Mid way - I sat and I have never heard my heart pounding that way even if I had to run for my life... This was insane -

I felt I would die -

My stomach was paining as its a flabby mess and too much shaking hurts -

Well i ended up the fit test with average results.. I tried doing my normal workout after that but my heart was paining - could not continue...

Atleast I was done with Insanity Day 1... I tried eating moderately and by the way after insanity... my hunger vanished as I felt I will puke if I ate..

So this was my first day experience.. Now I would like to talk about why I am starting this insanity -

Alot of people around me feel and ask what i do in my excercise room .. sometimes they see me jumping and doing hard things buit I never lose weight -

In my heart I try harder but somewhere I know why I dont lose weight -

Apart from the emotional shyt that goes on in my house I have some mental issues to deal with...

About 2.5 years ago I broke up with my first BF - He was unhappy that I was unhealthy.. So some of the parting lines said - "I dont think you can give birth to healthy babies.."

and I would say - "I am trying, I have lost weight once I will again, its the time thats demanding right now..."

"What if you never made it?" -He said.. "I dont think you will ever make it."

And he left -

Well dont get me wrong -I dont miss him , he ended up with another leaner lady...(Smile)

But sometimes when I workout I still feel he's speaking these words in my ears.. "You will NEVER make it".. and trust me I fall on the ground.. No matter how much I want to do this for myself, my current Bf whos great and my future kids.. yet I fall-

And I hate that -

Yesterday, I fell , fell , fell...everytime I had this thought I would feel the pain in my knees and back that I once had when I was sick during his time and I just could not sustain..

I know this might be boring and repetitive for some of you- but I am in tears..

And many times when I workout I am in tears..koz I fail!

My failures are way bigger to me than what they seem to the people around me..

*******

Now on a lighter note - Today morning when I came to office I saw one of my Female co workers who work under me , wearing a high end branded T.

I am not the one who gets jealous often I admire - Yes she does got a well toned body flat abs and stuff and along with that alot of arrogance- (Grin)

It just makes me feel worst - Having all the money - I can not afford to wear a T koz I am a FLABBY MESS..

Anyways, as I always get back-

Today will be my day 2.. I will concentrate on fueling myself with the right food...

Also I will walk 1000-1500 steps for warm up cause I feel the warm up is not enough for me...

I will try keeping positive-

I have some things to keep me motivated which I will list down once I have their pics..as of now -I will take leave..

Eating Out Abu Dhabi - Cinnabon - A review !

Well I have been eating so much at cinnabon for the past whole week that I owe this review to the restaurant!

Cinnabon as you might know is a coffee shop kinda outlet here in Abu Dhabi it has a lot of branches and I was all over their branches last week for some or the other reason....

I kinda love the pecanbon its definetly my favorite look at the picture below to find the reason why -

Now thats like 700-800 calories or more depending on the size and the amount of cream you want on it ... But if you have this real sweet craving the aroma will literally pull you in the restaurant... I remember how my sister craves for these whenever she passes by.. really worth a try if U get access to one..

No the next thing I had from this cafe was this double chocolate cake and i can still feel the remains hehehehe.. Since i was on a diet I ate it over a period of 3 days stored in my fridge... The cream was yum! yum! I LOOOOOVED IT it was heaven for Foodie like me!

Note : you dont get this anywhere except for the Abu Dhabi Mall Branch.

And to end it all the KILLER! Mocha Latte Chill! Avoid the cream to save 100-200 calories... though at Cinnabon they say they use low fat cream but I am not sure.

Yesterday when I went to the seaside branch they gave me Cinnabons worth 77 Aed for 38.5 Aed - so instead of paying 13 Aed each I ended up with something like 4.5 Aed for 9 Cinnabonzzzz!

Overall, Its good, not the "Healthiest Choice" But worth a Binge when you accomplish your weigh loss or you can even go bite by bite per day as I did..

Some Great Wedding Themes / Table decos

Hey -

How are you guys doing? GUYS? ok so I just have 1 follower as of now as my blog is not public and she is not a guy -

Last year i was gathering ideas for my sister's Wedding and I gathered a lot of pictures online... Well someone who might be looking for such pictures I am posting them here so that it might be of some help and save your time! If you like them do comment.

I kind of like this theme as it is peacful and simply, mostly preferred for western weddings but Asian and Arabs can experiment with the color of the flowers, the basic Idea is to have big candles in the center.

Now this is a very simple thing that can be created at home and is completely possible... The picture says it all! You can use glasses and candles and maybe plastic flowers...of the color of your choice - Imagine Purple.. Blue... or Red and white! Even Silver would be interesting.

Now by this picture I just wana talk about using deep voilet with light pink - and do something in that colour tone... else the center piece is completely a professional's job!

Now this is my fav color for wedding... What idea you can take from the above pic is the use of silver candle stands with colored candles.... and the flowere don't appear to be real ....so thats an economical option.

Note the use of center mirror... that idea can be combined with the other's stated below... The use of beads , flower vase etc...

So thats a short collection of what I gathered.. I hope it helps all those budding wedding planner... I once planned with my friend that we would become wedding planners together.. but somewhere the dream got lost - But weddings have so much to them !

Until then ... Tc!

Is Diet Cola Worth The Risk?

I'm on a Diet... and I feel like having something that will refresh my brain and still not tip that calories counter running in my Head!

Diet Cola ! Wow ! A blessing in Disguise.

Less than 1 Calorie - is what the label says... Man I can live on this can forever and it would still make no difference to the Calorie Intake level.

This is what I thought a while ago... when i was dieting to lose weight. I introduced everything that I THOUGHT was HEALTHY for me in my routine. From fruits , raw veggies and diet cola.

I was getting a hold on the calorie levels you know...

Recently, a video changed my point of view... Sadly, I will not mention what video it was because it carries some messages I dont want to discuss in my BLOG-

Today, my question to you is "IS DIET COLA REALLY WORTH THE RISK?"

I mean what would you gain from it? it doest even guarantee a tucked in AB or a bulgy bicep  -

More importantly the side effects artificial products bring to your body are far from repair.

Studies have found that Artificial sweetners (Aspartame) the main element of diet or low calorie food makes a person crave for more Carbohydrates.. and if you are already in the run to lose weight you would know what craving for Carbohydrates mean! It means you will be binging on more and more food and in return you will get fat - and not lose it as you thought you would.

Apart from this obviously as researchers have proved that this element also causes many brain damages such as Memory Loss - as it messes with the neurons of the Brain.

Apart from this, Aspartame gives you headaches - joint pain - depression - Blurred vision and what not? Name it and you have it.

"Researchers interviewed almost 60,000 pregnant Danish women about their soft-drink consumption, then compared these data with the results of the women’s births. They found that drinking one can of diet soda per day increased her risk of giving birth prematurely by 38 percent compared with women who never drank diet soda. Drinking four or more of the beverages per day increased the risk of preterm birth by 78 percent."

Its a killer for the Diabetic , A poison for the Pregnant Women and a Brain damager!

All I know is that a real diet begins with the word Natural !

You can REDUCE your quantity of natural elements you take in than REPLACE them with harmful artificial stuff.

So Next time when you pick a chewing gum that says SUGAR FREE dont be delighted but be Caucious and stay away from it....

The Garbage Bins?

The other day I was at the seaside.. feeling depressed and cranky as usual - Well, unlike all the others who came for fun and frolic, I was there for a purpose of grading a restaurant service. I always like that part of my job because it gives me sometime to spend and be in THE CITY CROWD- at least for a while.

As I arrived there I knew I was in at the wrong time... It was an exhibition or festival kind happening there. Hmm just another day which will leave me feeling how big of an UNSOCIALITE I was.

The place was crowded with beautifully dressed "young girls"(at least younger than what I am) . They had colours on them everywhere possible... everything from their hair bands to nail colour was making a statement.. - "they were having fun in life!" Their hair were well done and most of them would have been to the saloon for an up style at least once a month... They wore the best brands and the latest colours

(fluorescent - at this time of the fashion year!)

Me and them were different.. I was in my boring usual age old jeans and some top with so called professional boring colours (mainly black, brown or navy blue) and I was perfectly making a statement too! -"Wannabeee" Grrrr...After I was done with my work (Eating and Gobbling the food for rating it) I went for a stroll... along with my usual and very close friends who came along. Well, at least they have the zest for life.. I don’t even have that.

A few blocks down, we stopped again to order some food for my friends and I just sat down sipping my free coffee which I was given to rate.. I glanced here and there and in my mind I was just drawing the line of Gap between me and the people I saw in the crowd. I drew my eyes to relatively boring site and that was the Garbage Bins... There were 3 of them... 1 said Plastic - Another Glass and the last one Paper...

I wonder why they called them that?!? (ya ya i know the recycling bit don’t try to be smart with an already annoyed writer) Well my nasty brain finally found an answer!

Of course ! The Plastic Bin represented a Girl who was always Plastic and artificial.. with all the rebonding and dye in her hair... too much make up and branded clothes and showy dowy shades...
The Glass was more like someone trying to look like / copy Ms. plastic...

And the Paper Bin was just someone with no personal opinion...and she usually stick around in the group found by Ms.Glass but eventually led by Ms. Plastic cause she got all attention in the crowd...

After my brain has worked on this weird Imagination.. I still looked around.. trying to find more characters in the story... so I turned around.. and found a Bin... that said Mr. Trash! (well it said Trash.. Mr. was my imagination of course..) Mr. Trash was Ms. Plastic's Boyfriend... who was in the relationship because Plastic was wanted by every guy... and Mr. Trash felt great being on her side just to be the Talk of the Town.

I was still sipping my coffee when I realized that Glass would be all shattered in her course of following Plastic because she’s really transparent from her heart and there’s no way she can be Plastic...
I was in pity with Glass already.. as she had no attention and no boyfriend because of Plastic...

Well, I am old enough today.. to analyse what would be the end of the story of the Garbage bins... The Plastic would end up with multiple boyfriends , a bad past and no loyal lover who will love her for what she is from inside...

Glass will have her own ups and downs in her life but slowly she will learn what she really wants in life...

Paper - ? do you really care to know?? No one really does care about people like paper...they have lack of individuality and they are just silent witness to things happenining to others around them.
Another sip and I realized my Coffee was Over!

Well , so was the story... my friends came back with the order they received from the sandwich counter and we all got up to hurry back home...

I walked a few steps ahead.. and I turned back and looked at the New friends I made on the beach.. The bins of course... I walked towards them to say a final bye... I removed the plastic cover from my paper cup and threw it in the plastic bin and the cup in the paper bin.. As I turned around to the walk away..I smiled to myself for the lessons I have learnt from the Life less friends - The Garbage Bins!
