Day 0

So mission one month is : Conquer Green-Tea (GT)

I know, I just know all the benefits of GT, have always been as I am a biologist, who'd know better than me, knowing the metabolism, pathways, ribosomes and chromosomes it does have a role to play with...I have gone to the sub-cellular levels, wouldn't be boasting if I say , to the gene level..but of what use? None

The curt fact is I dont like its taste. I do not like GT. It tastes so bitter, Yuck!

I am an avid tea loverrrrrr, I would never want to replace my beloved tea, one which is made of good amount of milk, sugar, cardamom/basil/ginger etc etc and boiled above heat for long time to extract all the flavors from the pretty tea leaves.

BUT...! Today i.e. 20.01.2016. I take a pledge, to consume at least 2-3 cups of green tea DAILY. You must be wondering why all this so sudden. So, this was the outcome of my 00:45:47 hrs talk with my brother over the phone. He is to come to India in the month of march and he has already started working on his body. (He always wants to come here fit and fine, so he always does this). While I was asking him what all he is doing, food habits, lifestyle, one thing that I was stunned to know about was GT. He has included this in his daily routine like other people there do. My friend here, she also does drink GT every day and man.. she has really lost weight. It's so evident. That too after she's been home and had so many sweets. And look at me when I come back from home, I become a baby panda :(

I play badminton daily, don't eat rice, avoid the potatoes (which are served here in ample amounts in almost all the vegetables and even in biryani  in the mess), cycle, then why this stubborn layer of fat around my stomach wouldn't budge, despite much workout. Sure, sleeping late and munching snacks at midnight is responsible for it.

But, I need a solution.

And I hope, GT would come right to it. Lets see.

I gotta do this as the Winter is Coming!
