Week 7 and 8

The last couple of weeks have been busy and hence missed out on writing last week

I ran in week 7 and past my 5k mark first time this year. I was proud and elated. Although timing was sloppy but I had great sense of achievement. I also swam once that week but didnt do well. Had couple of runs and a swim and weighed myself 75.6 kgs, 5.6 kgs in 4 months and lose that ugly belly.

Week 8 was a slippery slope. Had a emotional downturn which involved binging on crisps, chocolate and tasty banana loaf from Marks and Spencer. And I failed on exercise front. But weekend involved 5 mile walking and 1 hour of paddle boarding. But weight doesnt seem to lose. Still same numericals 75.6. A long way to go

I hope I can manage it

 

week 2,3,4,5 and 6 of challenge

Hey guys, sorry for taking a short vacation off blogging. I wasnt neglecting. I was just busy in holiday and entertaining family who were down for 4 weeks in one of annual visits. With all the fun stuff going on … Continue reading →

Week 1 of new challenge

Today marks end of week 1 when I started my challenge 2013. A lifestyle change with improvement of fitness, appearance, belief and overall lifestyle. Family arrival from India acted as hurdle. Having time for exercise and also entertaining visiting family is a multitask which I couldn’t manage. Not an excuse, as I did manage with diet and miles of walk, thanks to tourist attractions in England requiring a fair bit of trail.

Run on Tuesday followed by diet all days. I seemed to have lost diet, dont know if its parents arriving or me being conscious of my enormous figure and continuos rejection be gay folk. Weekend included excursions to Isle of Wight and New forest where I am sure must have walked miles and also took few dips in channels. That counts exercise, doesn’t it?

And today the rage of Zimmerman acquittal may have burned few calories too. Overall this week hasnt been too bad generally. Health wise probably average, exercise wise poor but better than week before and isnt that the motto

 

A challenge for a year

Having turned 31 and not had many personal achievements, one begins to think where did it go wrong? Where did time slip away without noticing and not having any goals targeted. Answer was plain and simple, Laziness compounded by low self confidence. Unable to believe in oneself and then easily letting oneself off hook results in 31 years and not been able to have a relation or follow dreams or dare to do things which I thought I would have mastered by now. No point of crying over spilt milk, thus today on 7/7 when Murray might conquer the Wimbledon title and London had fought against terrorism 8 years ago, I am encouraged to take up a challenge for a year. My past mid year resolutions.

I challenge myself to blog a post every week about any topic of my choice: movies, physical challenge, travel, TV, musical or current affair. The physical challenge is lose weight 5 kgs before January 2014. How? By dieting and exercise and pushing my limits. It is alarming when your mother calls you fat or someone you had dated in past and broke up for lack of personality attraction says that I am too fat for them now!!!! It jolts you and makes you think you cant just get excuses everytime. Thus time for challenges have come up watch a movie or 2 week, exercise 5 times a week and write a post about how my week was every week either a Sunday or Saturday.

Week one begins from tomorrow and highlight of week is parents and cousin coming from India to spend a month with me, give me company, travel and enjoy a short holiday together. 

 Lets see where my challenge leads, next post if not before will be on 14th July, watch the space. It is race against oneself to prove oneself can do better.
