No Show!

No show on Monday and so would be true for Tuesday :-(

Just finished work and its already past 1:00am - Can't imagine myself waking up at 4:45am.

See you on Wednesday with more statistics.

Dal Baati & the Guilt!

I was happy with my workout today, which was a repeat of yesterday with just a bit less of cardio. And I am already guilty of the heavy lunch that I just had. But tell me, who could have missed out on dal-baati prepared by my father-in-laws?!?

600 for the 1st time!

I love the lazy Saturday afternoons. Sourabh & Amadhya are sleeping. I am surfing the net while listening to my favourite band from the 90s. Few days back, a 90s hindi movie song was on the radio, which the RJ titled it as “Gaana from Purana Zamana”. I was appalled. 90s and purana zamana are mutually exclusive!!!

The sinful chilly cheese toast and a spoon of chocolate cake that I had yesterday made me guilty enough to spend almost 2 hours in the gym today. Burnt a lot of calories and did a lot of abs. My trainer was in the weekend mood so he drove me crazy with his driving stories while I did my abs. Bless him! he makes me push the boundaries further each day.

Inspiration & More..

I think that the best in us is brought out by the toughest of times. My friend Kavi has been recognized with the “Employee of the Year” award. She is into advertising and has had two very successful campaigns last year. This year has perhaps been the most difficult year of her 11 years in advertising, with a demanding toddler in tow and no home based support. Yet, it has been the best year of her career so far!

Kavi, Congratulations! Thank You for inspiring us to do more and to be more.

Honestly, I am not trying to avoid the conversation on my workouts! I have been very regular at the gym, although I haven’t shown the same commitment at this blog. I have managed to burn 128 calories in 20 minutes on the cross trainer yesterday – I am getting there! Yippeee…

I attempted the weights training on Monday, which resulted in stiff arms and shoulders for the next 3 days. I have been doing a combination of cardio and abs for the last few days.

Aim to tame the beast.

I dislike the cross trainer. I usually burn less calories on a cross trainer. I  somehow managed to cross 100 calories in 20 minutes on this beast today. I aim to burn atleast 150 calories in 20 minutes on a cross trainer in the next couple of days. Lets see if I can make it happen!

Gave a Miss Yesterday!

I didn’t go to the gym yesterday. I didn’t know that I had committed such a big mistake until I told my colleagues. My 3 teammates are health conscious people. So during the day, I ate couple of crackers and the calories were counted. I had a cup of coffee and the calories were counted. Thank God, I had lunch with a different set of people…

Today, I worked out harder and burnt a bit more calories to cover for yesterday. Well, it’s just a mind game…

1 Kg of Smiles!

It’s interesting – one week of workouts and I am walking faster, holding my shoulders straighter and feeling so energetic and enthused. This 1 week has also given me a reward of 1 Kg loss!

My friends in office topped up this reward with…
