Short entries when there's something worth logging. No filler weeks. No highlight reel. Just: did we do the boring things again?
27 April to 19 June 2026. Eight weeks. No shortcuts. Just daily reps.
Late April 2026. Weight 64.9 kg. Waist 32.5 inches. Body fat 43.2%. Postpartum after twins (June 2024), so low energy wasn't laziness. It was biology catching up with life.
Blood work flagged overt hypothyroidism, severe Vitamin D deficiency (11.5), low B12, low folate, low iron, high homocysteine, and elevated inflammation. The numbers explained the fatigue. They didn't excuse staying there.
From 29 April: Thyronorm 100 mcg mornings. Uprise-D3 weekly. Neurobion Forte, Folvite, and Orofer XT with dinner. Strength training Monday to Friday. Forty-five minutes on the treadmill every day.
Food: high-protein, clean plates, mustard oil, lots of vegetables. The same boring stack we preach for everyone else. She actually did it.

Not just numbers. A new routine. A new body composition story. One choice at a time. Every day. She is the proof that Project 150 isn't marketing. It's math plus discipline plus love.
Added chocolate protein pancakes to the recipe wall. Mom made them without calling for help. Dad asked if they're "allowed." They are. Within portions. The horse is learning the menu.
Put the journal online at project150.in. Recipes, charts, the gym photo, the whole bet documented. Not for customers. For accountability and memory.
Family visit. Extra food on the table. Negotiations happened. Morning walks still happened. That's the win. Not perfection. Persistence.
Dad skipped two walks. "Too hot." Valid. Also not acceptable as a permanent policy. Reset the alarm. Walk at 6:30 instead of 6. Compromise without surrender.
Energy up. Walk duration up. Dad entered the gym. Mom cooked from the protein idli card without calling me for help. Nobody posted about it. The horse sipped. We're not stopping at 80.
Medication alarms enabled. "I forgot" is Dad's undefeated catchphrase. Hydration tracked. Sleep schedule tightened. Telugu food charts laminated. Love is laminated.
Gym lights on. Morning walks non-optional. Sugar evicted. Meal times locked. Dad walked past the gym twice without entering. Baby steps toward century two.
Read the blood work. Sugar, iron, Vitamin D, heart markers all having opinions. Dad said he'd "be more careful." Mom said she'd "try." We wrote baseline numbers anyway. See The Numbers.
"Nithya did the work in eight weeks. Dad and Mom are on their own clock. The gym will still be there. So will I. 150 years is a long game."
