I have been making progress this week. I am close to hitting a weight loss milestone. This was looking nearly impossible with the plataeuing that was taking place. But I am grateful to the missus who made sure that the food that I ate was balanced. Moreover, she made sure that my intake was good…
It is easy to give up. A plateau makes things very hard. For nearly three weeks my weight seemed to just mildly fluctuate. Well it wasn’t working in isolation. My food habits, exercise and overall routines all took a hit. The weight was just keeping score. But when your habits are not good, you are…
Ten years ago on this day I completed all the formalities for exiting from a job in a big Indian IT firm. I had just completed about four and a half years working for Infosys. I quit my job with the intention to preach the Gospel of Jesus while being employed full-time by Cross Cultured…
