Sameera Reddy keeps giving glimpses of her life on social media, along with that of her family. Her numerous videos on Instagram featuring her mother-in-law or children Hans and Nyra have often gone viral. However, that is only one side of the story, revealed the actor.
In a new video, the 42-year-old mother drew her fans’ attention to the reality of one’s life which “you don’t see” or what is never shown on social media.
“The grass always looks greener on the other side but trust me we are all finding our balance,” the De Dana Dan actor wrote on social media.
‘Target achieved; have come down from 92 to 89.9 kg in one month’
Setting fitness goals is easy, but working towards achieving them requires immense commitment and hard work right from the beginning. Showing how to do exactly that is actor Sameera Reddy who recently shared about the importance of staying focussed on one’s fitness routine. The mother of two recently completed a month of her fitness journey and managed to lose two kilos — that she originally aimed for.
Taking to Instagram, the 42-year-old shared, “‘Want to lose two kgs a month, and have stuck to it. Have come down from 92 to 89.9 kgs. #Fitnessfriday target achieved 2kg down in 1 month!”.
Crediting herself and her followers for helping her stay motivated, Reddy said, “The first month was about committing, intention and knowing that there is a consistent planning of getting to your goals. Now, I may be trying to push the envelope a little harder with portion control. We all have our ways to lose weight.”
Elaborating on her fitness journey, Reddy, who has previously shared her routine — that includes a mix of physical activities like cycling, badminton and yoga — said, “I’m very regular with my yoga, and every day in some way, I keep active. No excuses. I feel more mindful and conscious of what I eat. Overall I feel lighter and more agile! And I’m feeling good! Which is most important.”
She also revealed that intermittent fasting window of 16:8 hours is working for her. “I’m a big emotional eater, especially when I’m tired and overwhelmed which is most of the time. And I needed to stay focused on mindful eating habits and these past few months it just was not happening! I started Fitness Friday a month a ago because I needed the motivation to keep me on track! And make a solid commitment to my fitness goals! And telling you my weight every Friday keeps me on my toes. So, I thought we could all just do this together! Intermittent fasting is working really well for me! I fast 16 hours and eat only is my 8-hour window,” she mentioned.
On Sameera’s social media page, one sees “cute videos of the kids”, “dancing with my MIL (mother-in-law)”, “cosy pics with my husband”, and “gorgeous Goa life”, among other things. What one does not really know about, the former actor revealed, are “Hans not wanting to do online classes”, “Nyra teething and screaming”, “Akshai and me not able to get us time”, “me missing family in Mumbai,” and “me having a meltdown”.
Sameera recently won a lot of praise for her inspirational post on embracing one’s true self to be in a place of “pure freedom”. “From padded bras, coloured contact lenses, airbrushed, enhanced perfect pictures. To today’s pure freedom to be myself. No judgement. No pressure. Just me,” she wrote.
