This is the king of all pathetic days. I weighed in and instead of the damned maching at my gym showing any loss, it showed a gain. That machine needs some fixing for sure. I mean I can feel the loss. My clothes are waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy loose and even my finance said I had lost weight. Donno what is wrong. Anyways, I worked harder today. Put in a solid 600 cal. Had oats and a coffee with two small pieces of chocolate for breakfast. Will miss on lunch (loads of work). Dinner to be a pasta salad.
I mean what is going wrong out here?

Do you understand the concept of periodization relative to weight training?
Periodization in simplistic terms simply means having a plan and/or direction relative to your weight lifting program. This becomes important the further along you go as managing fatigue becomes an essential part of the process. Without fatigue-management, overtraining is very possible.
Same can be said for cardiovascular exercise. Many take this idea that cardio burns more calories than weight training and 'runs to far' with the concept. Beating your body into submission with endless ours of cardio day in and day out isn't the wisest thing to do.
I was simply saying, having a plan is a good idea.

I don't really get it?
You break out a very intelligent post above with regards to cardio vs. weight training.
Then you go and ask these questions. Not saying they're stupid questions.... just figured if you knew the information you posted above, you'd also know about and understand acute weight flux.
he he he....you making fun of me Steve...hmmm?
I know how important weight training is when compared to cardio and I do understand that weight flux happens but then again there is mental fatigue associated with a following a weight loss program severely. That happened to me yesterday. My body was sore and tired getting up early every morning to hit the gym and so I ranted a little bit.
I did discuss the incident with my fiance as well as with a fitness crazy colleague of mine. They both told me it was because of weight training. I was building muscles so the increase in weight. Well, I cannot give up weight training altogether but I can do reduce it a little bit. What say Steve?

I'm not making fun, promise.
But we are back to square one again. You are solely concerned about your weight opposed to image and health. This is made evident by this statement:
Ok Steve. Point taken.
I agree with you when you say that working out the entire body from health point of view is best. I am not going to argue with it. I do a little bit of weight training and I am not going to stop it completely. All I meant is that instead of doing weights 4 times a week I will reduce to only 3 days a week.
What say?

In theory, and it's been true for most of what I've seen.... you can get away with 2-3 sessions of weights per week.
However, these sessions should include an emphasis on the entire body, should use compound exercises that focus on multiple joints/muscles, and should contain an element of heavy* lifting.
*heavy, relative to your strength.... think reps in the 3-6 range. The closer you get to your ideal body weight, the more this becomes a critical factor.

Do looks matter?
Do looks matter in love? Apparently my mom thinks so.
My fiance is overweight....ok, obese. He is not tall...but my height but then I am also pretty tall standing at 5'9". He is fair and jolly and loving and intelligent and caring and everything a girl could ever want in a husband. But my family balked at the idea of us marrying. Still, they agreed by just seeing his pics and not even meeting him saying that they trusted my choice.
And now what do I hear? My mom calls her would-be son-in-law fat and God knows what behind my back and is ashamed of showing his pics to any of her friends because he does not come up to her standard. And today, she tells me that this girl of one of her friends got married to this guy who was very fair and had a very pleasing personality. He was tall and good looking and oh-my-God, the tone she used....as if my choice was down and dirty and I should not go ahead with it.
Excuse me, but didn't I give her a choice earlier? Did I not ask her to meet my boyfriend before and give her verdict before things were finalised? Now the marriage date is fixed and I am moving in this family circle and I am in continuous contact with them and my mom of all the people is ashamed of me.
Do appearances count that much? Or is it only my mom who has a problem with whatever I do?

I had a crappy day today. I coul dnot sleep at night and so could not go to the gym in the morning. Then I found out that my bus stop has been changed and I will have to walk 1 km to catch the bus to office. Then I had a crappy appraisal from my boss who has rated my colleage...who is a guy and did no work...higher than me. When I cross questioned my boss on his decision, all he said was that my visibility quotient was not as good as his. Well, what about all the work I did for the past one year? Talk about hitting the glass ceiling. And now I have a meeting to attend from 7-8 pm so no chance of going to the gym today at all. And there are two meetings lined up for tomorrow so no plans for Val-D Talk about ill luck...
Talk about ill luck...
It m ight be the latter...Do appearances count that much? Or is it only my mom who has a problem with whatever I do?
Looks don't matter in love... as the old saying goes - beauty fades...
What matters is how he treats you, how he makes you feel, if he makes you a better person... and he respects you...
I suppose it'd be rude to tell your mom that she doesn't have to see him naked
(I'll tell her -I have no problem being rude Did he give you any suggestions for how you can improve this "VQ" - maybe get put on more visible projects?
Sorry you had such a day... hopefully today will be better...
Welcome to my diary Maleficient
Thanks for the support I would never ever give him up for anyone else. I absolutely completely over-the-top-of-my-head adore him.
Maybe you could....he he he
His reply was that my managers did not perceive me as of that level....donno what that means...
Thank you so much again You are an angel.

You are an angel.The Best Val-D ever
Before I start this story, I should better mention that I had a long distance relationship (for almost 2 years) with my fiance so there were no V-Days or B-Days or any other special days together.
Yesterday was the best Valentine's Day of my life. My fiance (GK) and I were stuck at office and we had a bleak chance of getting out. The day progressed and we kept calling and confirming each other's status of work. Finally after numerous calls, we left our respective offices at 6 pm. I reached my home (we do not live together) to find a bouquet of red roses from him. Then he called to ask me to come Taj Connemera (a 5-star hotel). He was waiting for me outside the hotel with a bag and we went in together. We were ushered by a Taj official in formals to a pool side table!!! Just for two and far away from anybody else for a five course meal!!! There was a bouquet on the table with a candle in it and two champagne chutes which were duly filled up. Instead of sitting opposite to me GK pulled over his chair to be next to me so we could hold hands
So the dinner started and he opened his bag. First came out a cute little teddy with a heart in its paws saying I Love you. Then a cute little photo frame. Then an awesome golden dial Citizen watch and then an 80GB Video iPod and then a beautiful tunic. I was seriously embarrassed with what I gave him (two shirts, 3 novels and a perfume) but he seemed not to mind and was in great spirits.
After the two hour dinner I was too full to sit down. So GK suggested we take a walk in the hotel. We walked by the pool, around another restaurant in the hotel and down a lovely walk again in the hotel and then we turned around. When we came back to the pool he took me in his arms and kissed me and staggered as he released me suddenly. The first thought that came to my mind was maybe the kiss was too blinding for him...he he he. And all this is happening by the pool side in full view of everyone. But then I found him bending to retrive his handkerchief and suddenly he was down on one knee holding up a ring
To tell you the truth, the first thing that came to my mind was that the whole thing was so corny....hee hee hee... But then he asked me to marry him and I of course said yes Then we kissed....
GK turned out to be the King of the Unexpected.
He made yesterday the happiest day of my life
