You are cheating 🙂 You didn’t mention about what party food you had.
nice workout … i will also start with my hubby…
I’ve found that have stews and soups which are full of veggies, beans and lentils are also really good ways to fill up without the calories. I hope this tip helps! 🙂
Indira/Vijay,
When ever i open your site, for first time its dericting to some virus site. I close it forcefully from task manager and open again it works fine.can you check it.
Kavitha,
Thank you for informing us about the issue. Most of the WordPress websites were recently affected by malware. I’m currently working on it and should be able to fix it in a day or two.

Indira,
One more question what kind of measuring thing do u use for portion control and what kind of diet do u follow for carb control?
Hi Indira,
Your blog is too good.
I have browsed all your earlier posts. In June 2006 you posted a peacok tapestry by teresa Wentzler. Your work is so amazing.
Can you share that with me if you still have it.
Wish you will post some more works.
All the very best to you.
