It feels good to have some virtual company. Dear Kay: Thank you for the inspiration and motivation! Suma: Thanks for your interest. The diet doesn't have to be like above exactly. If you need, you could add whole wheat chapatis and bulgar wheat to the meal menus. About publishing the updates, I am hesitant to make any rules/demands. I will leave that upto you, whatever comfortable for you is good enough for me. Thanks again for your encouraging company. Krithika: I am thinking (planning to do) 30 minutes or 15 minutes each. Hi Kamala: Instaed of daily, I've planned to publish a week menu with daily updates. Please do share your meal menus in those posts. Thanks. Thank you all for your supportive comments.

I'm looking for inspiration of what kind of items to eat/prepare. I'm also vegetarian and grew up in Andhra. It's be great if you can share some of your daily menus. --Sri Hi Indira,

I like this idea very much. I generally eat well and bike around a lot, but I have been feeling "stodgy" lately. Feeling badly lately about my inability to meditate every day, my tendency to have a glass of wine with my dinner recently, and my general feeling of "stuckness". But it is only me who will not meditate, who is stuck. And I can change that. I like this plan, and will do it exactly as you've outlined. Thank you for the inspiration. I am sure that the hardest part of this by far will be the "no coffee" part! Yikes... What a wonderful way to welcome in May! I like this idea very much.

I think I will write down a meal plan based on the above guidelines. Is jaggery allowed as a sweetener ? Also, for the 3 days of Calisthenics/Yoga/Pilates do you have any duration in mind ? Thanks Count me in. I think I will write down a meal plan based on the above guidelines. Is jaggery allowed as a sweetener ?

This is *so* inspiring. I’ve done zero workout in the past week except for a quick run along the trail. I went through the list and it pretty much eliminates my daily lunch - a deli sandwich. Though I get the customizing to our needs part, I wanna do it your way. If you kept an everyday journal on Mahanandi - I’d love it & will help a big bunch ! I will follow it for a week, get to know how to go about it and follow thru next week on. Thanks Indira & Good luck - you start today ! Love, IG Hey Indira !
