Quote Of The Day:
Hope you enjoyed todays quote of the day!
What’s Up With Pooja:
Hmm, what is up with me? Well, a couple of things. I spent like two hours chatting with DentMistry so I am very happy about that. It’s always nice to catch up after a long time.
Other than that, my mum and I have decided to go on a diet. Not to lose weight or anything like that. I am happy with my current weight. And it took me a long time to see food as nourishment and not calories. I’m just switching up my diet to be more healthy. I feel like I haven’t eaten as healthy as I should. I want to eat more raw veggies and try to cut out most refined foods from my diet. I’m hoping that will help bring up my immunity and as well as help me be healthier in general. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my main goal with my diet is to be healthier and not care too much about weight. Hopefully, I can achieve that.
And I also don’t plan on being crazy strict about what I eat either. I’ll try my best to eat healthier but it’s also okay to treat myself once in a while. Small amounts of unhealthy food are not that bad.
What has been going on with you? What are your plans for the week? Do you have anything fun planned for this week? Let me know in the comments below because I would love to hear from you or simply stop by and say hi!

I remember your posts about what you eat daily, Pooja, I think that you eat like a little bird! Good for a woman’s figure. ❤️
Haha thanks, I love that 😝
Good luck Pooja. Boosting your immunity is an excellent goal.
Thank you so much.
Sounds like a plan. One thing that has really helped me is Ningxia Red. Let me know if you’re interested. Best wishes!
Thank you so much. Ooh sounds interesting!
Lovely quote! I’ve been growing my own sprouts and reading up on the nutrition benefits – they are awesome and so easy. Just had some of my first crop of sprouted lentils for lunch today and they tasted so much better than supermarket bought – two days is all it took for them to sprout their little tails.
Thank you so much. Yeah I’ve heard sprouts are really good for health. I used to sprout mung beans a lot before but I don’t as much these days.
I’m just getting into it and waiting for my sprout seeds to arrive in the post – meanwhile I sprouted brown lentils – they are delicious! So now I have definitely caught the hug
That’s awesome, enjoy your sprouted foods!
So true. A loving heart for oneself and others. Lack of love is a horrible thing and can cause huge issue like loneliness etc. Yes, food is part of that love, but often food has become … I don’t know. I just feel that sometimes I have this craving that I can’t get rid of. I mean it must be something else in life that triggers and it reflects on food…
Maybe you just need more protein in your diet 🙂
Yes, love is so necessary and a lack of it causes so much trouble. Food is a double edged sword. Food can be great but it can also be our downfall.
Lovely
Thank you.
You’re welcome ☺️
For my week, it hasn’t started out very productive but hopefully I’ll get back on track. Feeling a bit low again so I have to pull myself out of my slump. Maybe I need to eat better too.
I hope your week gets better, some days can be worse than others.
That’s great. A diet with permitted moments of indulgence is the best kind of diet. You’re more likely to stick with it and it’s not essentially an end to living to actually live. Any other diet is survival.
I agree, that’s the best way to eat. It won’t make you feel awful but it will make you healthy.
😅 I think you’ve already decided not to diet … with “I’ll try”. I’ve done that. That way when I fail I can say at least I tried. I hope you prove me wrong though. I dream of healthy eating, but then I wake up. 😁
Haha perhaps so 😅 Thanks so much 😊
Lovely quote Pooja 🤍healthy eating is always a challenge lol… all the best to you and mum🤗
Thank you so much 🤗 Haha yes, it’s not easy especially at first.
Great stuff. I’m also switching up how I eat. So I’m now including more plant based food, less meat but not cutting out anything entirely.
That’s wonderful. Adding more plants and especially raw plants to your diet is really great for health. I don’t think cutting anything out is really necessary just try to limit certain things.
Lovely quote!
Your diet plan sounds so perfect.
Its hard to stick to healthy eating🤷♀️
Thanks so much and so true.
Fantastic way to look at dieting: diet to eat healthy to build health and not for only losing weight. Hope you have a good start to it! I also like you how started with the header “what’s up with Pooja.” Interesting and fun. Would you mind if I used that header too in my blog, like “what’s up with Esther?”
Thanks so much! Yes, it’s important to think of health rather than weight. Yes, feel free to use the header. I don’t mind at all.
How your healthy eating is off to a good start!
Thanks for sharing the header. Fun and simple way to share updates in a blog post.
It’s going great so far, thanks. And you’re totally welcome.
We should eat what we like. We shouldn’t treat ourselves like machines.
Yes, I agree. It’s not good to always eat unhealthy food but it’s okay to eat them once in a while.
It was great catching up! ❤️
It was! ❤️
Lovely quote. Good luck with your diet. My week has not started off great; I am fighting the flu. Keep me in your prayers. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
I’m sorry to hear that, I’ll pray for your speedy recovery. Thanks and have a great rest of your week.
Thank you. I appreciate it a lot.
You’re so welcome.
Hey, eating healthy is a good thing! And I found the quote beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much! 😊
Congratulations on deciding to begin a healthy diet. I hope it’s delicious and satisfying. Hooray and good luck.
I don’t understand the quote. It can’t be “all” knowledge. The knowledge needed to make a nuclear bomb starts with curiosity not love. Maybe something along the lines of “A loving heart is the beginning of all compassionate knowledge.” Actually that’s not it either. Maybe more along the lines of : All loving consciousness begins with a loving heart?
I can’t diet because quotes make me hungry. Being awake makes me hungry.
When there’s ‘an elephant in the room’* I eat it. Cutting it into bite-size pieces takes a few months, and it can be difficult to stir up a hundred gallons of broth made with a ton of fresh vegetables. The smell of cooking it for a month usually chases away other elephants and snakes. And as the five blind men said, a loving elephant has a big heart, an angry elephant big tusks like swords, and a curious one has a nose bigger than Cyrano de Bergerac.
* ‘an elephant in the room’ — “a major problem or controversial issue that is obviously present but avoided as a subject for discussion because it is more comfortable to do so.” — Google: Oxford Languages
Thanks so much. I absolutely can’t stay away from food too but I’m trying to eat healthy snacks instead of junk food.
The first thing people think when we see they word “diet” is “hey he/she must be losing weight”. But, well a diet could means focusing on healthy eating.
It’s good that you are eating healthy, it will be good for you overall.
This post is very encouraging and it tells people to eat more healthy and eat the things we really enjoy. 😁
.
The major problem with me is, I cannot eat many things that I desire. My diet, doesn’t allow me, because my goal is actually weight loss. And right now, I’m on the toughest position and need to focus harder.
.
Like you I need to increase my immunity as well, interesting I got sick for the 3rd time this month 👏🏻👏🏻, and I’ve been told that my immunity is weak 🤷🏻♂️. I’m like how? As I’m eating healthy, but I’m lacking somewhere.
.
About your friend, I’m happy that you got the chance to talk to her. With good friends we don’t realise the time.
.
This blog looks like a health blog. You made me nervous when you started writing health blogs. 😱
.
What was the quote again? 😛
True, not all diets are about losing weight. Thanks so much.
Yes, it’s tough when you’re trying to lose weight. You have to cut out a lot of food. You should definitely be eating foods that help with your immunity. Like ginger and turmeric.
Haha don’t worry I will most definitely not be posting health posts anytime soon. 😂
Well yes I will do the needful. After few weeks I will get tested and that will give me give me a better picture about where I’m lacking. I’m still in shock when I’ve been told that my immunity is weak. All the exercise and diet was not helping me much. Need to improve further.
Take care.
Yes, it’s good to get tests done regularly and see what needs to be done. Your immunity may be weak because you lack certain vitamins. I take vitamin C pills for immunity and they help a lot.
The doctor gave me vitamin C tablets as well. I thought, I was taking enough Vitamins as I eat lots of fruits (citrus as it’s winters). I was wrong. This was a wake-up call for me.
Sometimes it’s that our body doesn’t absorb the vitamins properly from foods. And that’s why we need the tablets. Not because our diet is good.
Hmmm !! I will remember that 🙂. I avoid talking tablets, but well I’m forced now. Cough syrup included 😛
Lol I try to as well but sometimes you have to do what you have to do 🤷🏻♀️
Well yeah!!
How are you feeling now??
I’m much better, thank you.
I enjoyed reading your quote and updates, Pooja.
At the same time, I have run out of words, for the moment, as I have been busy writing stuff all morning.
Still, I wanted to say ‘Hi’. That’s not such a big word and it’s easy to make space for it, yet, it can mean a lot.
So:
Hi Pooja! 🙂
Also, I hope you feel better regarding that flu.
Thank you so much. I appreciate that you stopped by to say hi even though you’re busy. I’m much better. How is your leg doing?
I’m glad you are feeling better, Pooja.
My leg is healing slowly, but it is healing.
I was out with a cold in the past week but things are improving again. 🙂
Oh good, hopefully you’re fully recovered from the cold now.
That is my kind of diet, I don’t like getting ill or not having enough energy so that it what I focus on achieving when I eat.
I’m the same way, I always try to focus on my immunity and having more energy and better concentration.
All the best on your journey of dieting.
I would like to hear more about your experience, in the near future.☺️
Thank you so much. Will definitely be sharing more about it soon.
Absolutely Pooja, don’t worry about weight. You can be the biggest you’ve ever been and the healthiest at the same time. Good choices, eat, and workout girlie.
Exactly, health and weight are two separate things! Thank you 😊
To blend the concept of the quote you provided with the new goal you have set with your mum: Having a loving heart and loving ourselves is also a vital part of being healthy, for when we struggle with speaking kindly to ourselves we create more cortisol and stress chemicals in our bodies that affect our immune systems, likewise speaking kindly to ourselves helps to ease the inner stress and this in turn has a fortifying effect on our systems!
I couldn’t agree more! I think people forget about loving themselves when it comes to health but like you said it’s such an important part of it.
It absolutely is, but it is a lesser understood part of our physical health!
It really is. I saw the before and after in my own life, and it really made such a difference.
Lovely quote 🤍
Thank you 😊
Well this is great that you are changing your diet not just to lose weight but to live a healthy lifestyle.
I like the quote!
Well my exams are coming so I’m kinda worried so, nothing going much in my life.
Thanks so much. Good luck with your exams, I am sure you will do well.
Thank you so much, I’ll do my best.
You’re very welcome.
Raw veggies and I are besties. I tore up up the veggie plate at Thanksgiving. No dip.
That’s awesome. I try to eat some raw veggies with every meal. They’re so yum and nutritious.
I appreciate emotional intelligence and intrapersonal intelligence in people, I wish mine was high tier.
Good luck with your diet!
I’m like that too. I always enjoy talking to intelligent people but am far from it myself lol.
Thank you!
Really? You seem highly intelligent to me. Especially with intrapersonal and interpersonal. An underrated and unappreciated intelligence!
That’s so nice of you to say! I always feel like I’m not lol. I think you’re intelligent too and really great at art.
Thank you! I appreciate it.🥺
You’re totally welcome 😊
I’m glad you are taking a healthy approach to changing your diet. Sometimes that is needed when your body isn’t doing too well. I changed my diet to boost my immunity one year, so I get it
Yeah I think it’s just what I need right now.
Good luck with the change in diet. Adjusting to a healthier diet is good, even if only for a while.
Thanks and I hope I can eventually do it longterm.
Love this..
Eating healthier is always a good idea. ❣️
Thanks and yeah always 😊
