Grill Cooking

Have been trying to experiment with  the grills (meant for cooking ) in our apartment ,just outside our homes.
Finally we bought everything from walmart needed for it like charcoal,skewers & chicken,fish to cook.

It did provide an interesting experience for us .We marinated the chicken drumsticks and fish fillets with our usual indian masala and grilled.
We also grilled some fresh vegetables and corns additionally.
We had the lunch just sitting next to the grill along with the food cooked in our kitchen.

Garage Sale

We bought some furniture from garage sales.
We kind of went late ,but still could get items like furniture items and photo frames.

To add & To avoid in Day-today diet

Garlic- reduces your fat
Milk - Have been drinking the 2% milk off-late as it helps to reduce some calories.
hv tried the 1% milk also..but ,it was so thin that i didnt get the requied calories and was too watery.
Ghee - gud for acidity and digestion
Cheese-pizza - feel that i should really stop eating pizzas just for the coating of cheese over it.
Honey Bun - gud filling breakfast which i really stopped eating now.

YMCA: Solution to Maintain Weight,Stay Fit & Healthy

One of the dangerous outcome of staying @ home in abroad ,eating all those cheesy fried items is
you "PUT ON WEIGHT "...
When i came here first and saw that all our friends were going to the gym, I was very critical of them saying that they are too over -conscious abt their body structure or figure ..

But now after becoming one of those victims ,i realised the importance of working out.
Now I c to that i atleast go for a walking once in a week in the nearby YMCA.
It really boosts my self-confidence and kills my time too.:-)
