Workout is one of important part of my life. For me it’s the pleasure to perform 1 hr daily in 🏋️♀️ the gym, excercises which my personal trainer tell me to do.
I am so grateful that I am being able to do so much with the help of my personal trainer.
To all the girls out there, if you have not started any physical activity, don’t wait for the right time.
Start as soon as possible and don’t forget to thank me later. 😊
Stay happy, Stay healthy, Stay safe.

According to WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION 31% of the world population is not physically active. Which makes them deprived of various health benefits of being active. Are you one of them ? Among these 31% most of them are women and elderly who are inactive.
Women are less physically active than men. The global target is to bring this 31% physically inactive population to 15% by 2030. Together we can make everyone aware about this information. Though it is a global target but remember each one of us will be benefitted by being physically active. Our health will improve and so does the health of our family and friends.
Encourage your family and friends to be active through your social media accounts, through calls. Inspire them by being an example for them.
WHO recommends that adults should have 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous- intensity physical activity per week.
Women don’t get time for physical activity or they don’t give importance towards being active. But physical activity can save us from various diseases like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and much more. Nobody wants to be ill. For that, we have to spread awareness about the benefits of being physically active.
Encourage everyone for walking, cycling, running, playing games so that they can easily attain 150 minutes per week of moderate-intesity physical activity.
Elderly people are more prone to being inactive due to old age. The idea is to show them the picture of other elderly people who are going to the park daily. Tell them that, inspite of injury people are still coming to park. And it’s not false , I myself have seen elderly people who go to park daily, injured inspite of injury walking in the park.
Just like we all join our hands to fight against Covid. We, the world, are together again to spread awareness to be active.
Stay happy, stay healthy.
SPREAD THE WORD #BE ACTIVE. #WORLD IS ONE.

We all eat healthy or unhealthy food. Without food we cannot survive. Some things harm others heal. Our unhealthy eating leads to many health issues. To prevent this situation we normally go for dieting or hit a gym.
But as seen on social media there are enormous dietitians sharing so much information that this is good that is bad without any scientific reason. That common person gets confused what to do.
Best to do in this situation is stick to homemade food as much as you can. Go for a professional dietitian who can help you through customised diet plan.
I find recommendations of Rujuta Diwekar , famous celebrity dietition very relatable, very easy to follow. When you eat local seasonal and traditional food, you don’t have to do any extra efforts to prepare a meal. Just eat right portion.
When I was under customized guidance of a dietitian. She said it’s not good to have sugar at all. How one can stop having sugar all of a sudden. She said sugar is poison, I don’t agree with her at all. She always suggest so time consuming receipes that it was not practically possible to cook all. We married women have so much more responsibilities to fulfill other than just cooking. Her approach was not practical. She always pin point what’s wrong we did but lack solutions. I sometimes felt that I am talking to a cook and not a dietitian who only have recepies to share.
We gave the power to these type of dietitians to take the lead and we will follow. But what I experienced is you just have to eat local, traditional and seasonal as said by great Rujuta Diwekar. Eat local think global are her words. Each and everything which she says in her videos are so relatable and easy to follow that I fell in love with her knowledge, personality and the way she convey things in a funny manner.
We only have to eat healthy and there is no need for dieting. When we eat healthy , the benefits which we gain through it is enough to make us fit in every way. Another important thing to do is remain active. Means, excercise regularly at least 4 days a week.
When we change our lifestyle to a healthier one. We start mindful eating, when we eat mindfully we don’t need anyone to tell us what is right for us. Our conscious mind will automatically choose right things only.
400 gms of fruits and vegetables a day are enough fiber for the day. Eat pulses daily it will fulfill the requirement of protein. Avoiding sugar or eating less sugary things will take you to right direction. Your sugar cravings will become less after sometime.
Less fried food is another one challenge we all face towards healthy lifestyle. Health should not be measured in terms of our weight instead it should include our overall health parameters.
As WHO warned about the outbreak of covid variant J N 1 in many countries we should be more careful about our health and should take precautionary measures where it is needed.
1. Avoid Crowded places.
2. Wear mask
3. Use handwash or hand sanitizer.
4. Social Distancing
Weight loss industry will only direct you towards weight loss. They are less concern about your day to day minor illnesses. There are very less players in weightloss industry who are sincere towards their clients and treat them above their monetary interests.
The thunb rule is before joining any of the plan first enroll for the basic plan for sometime. If you find worth it then go for their premium plans.
Stay healthy, stay safe, stay happy.

I don’t know how many of you are interested to know about my weightloss journey, but my coach and friend, Prashansa suggested me to write a blog on it as she was and is with me throughout this journey. I hope you all find it inspiring and interesting. So let’s start-
Let me first tell you what was the reason behind joining a weightloss program. Last year in 2022 we went to Dubai for vacation there when we were at Desert Safari, we all were clicking pictures and suddenly the cab driver who was clicking pics said to a group of ladies, “jump and I will click your pictures”. All three of them jumped so high, the ladies were overweight and jumped very easily two three times. Now came our turn, he said to our family, jump. Surprisingly I was unable to jump even a single inch. This moment was the turning point of my life I must say. My mind was wandering, why I was not being able to jump, there were so many questions rising in my mind. Strange isn’t it? Anyways we enjoyed our vacations and came back to India on 29th June, 2022.
As I am a very health cautious person, always watching health related videos and post online. But irony is, only watching them will not make you healthy. You have to take right decision at right time. So, I decided to join a weightloss program within 2 days. I didn’t ask anyone, decided myself, and the weightloss journey started on 1 July 2022.
We women think about our family first and take our health for granted. But every women should take their health seriously. I used to say to my friends you should take care of yourself so that you can take care of your entire family. Recently, someone said the same to me.
So, coming back to the weightloss journey. It started in the month of July, 2022. I had two coaches, a diet coach, Mandeep and fitness coach Prashansa. They both interacted with me on call and designed a diet plan and workout plan according to my capabilities and choices. First month was very challenging, I had to change my eating habits, do workouts daily. What I ate, how much protein, carbs,fiber, fat is being consumed in a day was all tracked on the healthifyme app and workout was also tracked daily. Then slowly it became my habit to log food and workout. I was not at all good at doing workouts first few months. Because by following diet plan only I loose so much weight. My fitness coach used to scold me, screamed, gets angry many times. Diet coach and fitness coach always keep a check on me. I connect on call every fortnight with them. It took time for my body to adapt to changes.
I always took workouts for granted honestly. Keep on giving excuses, today I went somewhere, today it was so hot, today it is so cold that’s why I had not done my workout. But, my fitness coach didn’t lose hope, keep motivating, keep modifying my workouts accordingly. I was very much interactive with my diet coach she with vast experience had all the solutions to any challenges which I faced. Unfortunately she left the organisation and a new diet coach was assigned to me. The day she left, my fitness coach was also on leave. I dropped a message in the app where we had a group with coaches to chat with them anytime, that, I need to talk to my fitness coach. My fitness coach, Prashansa called me up, she was ill still she called me and check about my health. I was moved by her dedication towards her job and caring nature. On new year eve i.e 31 Dec, 2022 took a resolution that I will excercise regularly and eat healthy. I stick to it till now thank God. Everything was going well before the assignment of new diet coach. From Feb 2023 to may 2023 I was only relying on workouts because my fitness coach was the same but my new diet coach was not as good as Mandeep. I got struck I was not loosing weight, was very disappointed and low just about to give up. Then I booked a call with my fitness coach and tell her about the situation. She scolded me. She said you have come this far and loose good amount of weight why are you giving up. At that point I told her I am not being able to follow diet plan, didn’t said a single word against new diet coach.
Confused what to do. Then I decided if I had to continue the weightloss journey then I had to change my diet coach. It was Monday morning at 6:15 am I assigned a new diet coach for me. My third diet coach is Priya. She understand what I expect from my diet coach and now I am happy to have Priya as my diet coach. Prashansa, my fitness coach took good care of me while I was struggling and about to give up. Her love, care, understanding saved me from giving up.
In weightloss journey our thinking totally change. We always think about eating right, eating healthy. The grocery we used to buy earlier now has new healthy options. I have learnt a lot from Mandeep ( my first diet coach) and Prashansa ( my fitness coach).
Now I do workouts, strength training regularly and enjoy it too. Thank you to my fitness coach. This change from making excuses to enjoying workout is because of her faith in me. My weightloss journey is still on will soon achieve my target weight. While on this journey you only and only think about how to be fit, active and eat right. Your conversation with other family members changes. When you visit anyone you do try to avoid unhealthy stuff as much as possible. The control and choosing healthy over unhealthy is all about this journey. When this control and choice becomes your lifestyle you are a winner along with your coaches, because without their guidance this journey was not possible.
While attending any function or party we keep a check on portion, because when we attend any such function we have the tendency to overeat. My weightloss journey was full of highs and lows but I am happy that I took a right decision at right time and lucky enough to have coaches like Mandeep, Prashansa and Priya.
Thank you for reading till the end. Hope you will also make healthy eating and excercise your lifestyle.
