One Step at a Time

It has been awhile, since I wrote for the blog. Many things are happening in my life… A breather today was welcomed with open arms .

So how are things going for me? Pretty good! Lost a bit of weight in last month. And now 15 days into Ramadan, more weight loss should happen.

So what’s my current weight? Hey, you know I hardly measure myself on the scales. So how do I know that I have lost few kilos? The fit of my clothes says it all. They are bit loose than before, my wedding ring glides easily onto my finger and I can feel the increase in my energy levels. The whole process wasn’t easy for me though.

All along, I took small steps and achieved victories at each step. And trust me, these small victories have been good motivator for my weight loss journey. Few baby steps and good habits at a time made way for healthier me.

Earlier I tried various ways to shed pounds, but I burned out too easily. After some good soul searching, I decided to take small achievable steps. Did you know that it takes about three good weeks to establish a habit? I found this when i was pushing myself religiously, sometimes once/twice a day to do my yoga exercises. Besides working out at home, I would look forward to my classes. Yoga helped me calm down and enjoy ‘me’ time, which was rare.

Before starting yoga, I was not sure how to get started. So I sat down with my list of changes and chose weight loss as the first change. I haven’t been able to do a makeover in my entire diet, but it is happening in bits and pieces.

I feel confident each day with my renewed sense of energy. I am positive that I will be able to check off all the items on my list for change soon.

Workouts with Namita – I

Hi

Another of Namita’s workout is linked up here. Namita writes about the benefits of running, training tips, the right technique for running and what stretching exercises must one perform before running.

Hello again!

Iam getting back to my fitness routine after a 2-day break. I sure did miss the workouts and was worried about putting back the kilo I had lost.  Having to eat outside food always gets me hyper about the extra fat that is used.  Ofcourse, I can’t deny the temptation of eating steaming, hot naans at a roadside dhaba with dollops of fresh butter.  The food was awesome (loads of fresh cream and butter can do that to any food!!??). But to compensate for that one meal, I had a light dinner (soup and fruit). I made up for my missed workouts to an extent with the longs walks that Sikandra and Taj accorded (this alongwith running after my brat, the whole time)
