I am not sure if this is just me or does it happen to everyone..... So today is one of those typical days when you wake up in the morning and you get this feeling right in your tummy... from head to toe... that something is not right... Okay, its not PMS so I don't have that excuse...
I dont know why, but today seems to be not a fun day for me :( And I usually call this my 'Devil Fish' mind. It tries to make me believe that something is not right. But strangely, most of the time, it does predict it correctly.... So now the mystery is - "What went wrong?"
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Messes Cheesecake
My hubby is the best in this world. The only thing he demanded on our 2nd marriage Anniversary was a home baked cheesecake. I was so delighted...
It suddenly clicked on my mind that I read a recipe of 'healthy cheesecake' that a friend of mine posted on her face-book. Supposedly very low calorie cheesecake, the best part was was - without baking. I did a super search on her 'wall' so dig up the recipe. Walla - after 45 min of research and development, I got my trophy. I quickly scribbled all the ingredients.
Next day, I gave him my innovative version low calorie cheesecake. I know - not a good idea. It was super sweet and didn't even taste like cheesecake. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... But it was so nice of him that he actually finished it. I promised myself - I will make it up for him.
With new motivation, I went to the departmental store to pickup ingredients for cheesecake. Standing in front of countless varieties, I thought to myself... 1 8oz of full fat cheesecake is 130 calorie; 1/3 rd fat is 100 calorie and 60 cal fat; fat free is just 30 calorie with 0 fat. You bet - I opted for Fat Free version. I was so happy that I can actually have a big size of cheesecake myself. A full fat cheesecake is over approx 300 calorie.
I followed my recipe and after 50 minutes of baking, I was convinced about one thing - don't compromise on calories unless you seriously want to mess up :( This version of cheesecake smelled of eggs and was absolutely sweet less [Thanks to me - I just added 1/4 of what the recipe demanded] .
Lesson Learned :-
1. Follow the recipe as it says.
2. Sometimes, adding up a little 'extra' calorie is no big deal - specially if you know you can burn it off in no time....
3. Warning: don't be so paranoid.... try to enjoy life
I love you sona..... Happy anniversary - I will make it up, this time no 'healthy' version but the authentic one....

New motivation or frustration
Its tough when you play too many roles in your life. Respect to all those ladies and women who can do it. I dont think I belong to that category where you are a wife, a student, part time job and a home maker with responsibilities like - 'what to cook?', and every damn thing I never thought I would do in my life.
So breaking all the norms, I took this oath to run my first half marathon with full practice. I dont want to repeat my mistake that I did last year - running without proper training and ended up with a fracture.
