So, I was 83 kg on June, 2012. I have this record of paying
for Fitness centers and buying fitness equipment and not use them. This time i was clear that i am not going to
waste money! My friend always used to say, if you have so much money to waste,
why don’t you give me?
I started to walk 1 hour in the nearby park in the
mornings.i.e. from 6:45AM to 7:45 AM. I was surprised by the local population
who used to come for regular jogging/walking. This makes you feel, that yes, it
is better late than never. One day it
started drizzling, and i went with a cap for walking. I was feeling little
awkward, who will go for walk if it is drizzling. I was wrong, totally. People
were jogging with umbrella held in one hand. This was an eye opener. We tend to
find excuses for not being active. But people, who are serious, try to find
methods to overcome the hurdles.
I always used to think; how people can continuously jog on a
treadmill (athletes are living for fitness. So i never considered them in
common people crowd). And i had never dream't that one day i would be able to
run continuously for 20 mins. Another
myth burs ted! The park near my house
had a 1 km perimeter (irregular pentagon). So i started jogging for the shorted
side of the pentagon, then walk the remaining. Like this i started with 3
rounds and went up to 6 rounds. Slowly i tried jogging alternate short sides
and walking remaining sides. I could! Surprised again! So this i achieved in some 3-4 weeks.. I used
to look forward for sunrise so that i could go for walking.
Now, i missed out an important turning point in my Eating
habits! I had once attempted the so called GM diet and failed miserably on end
of Day 1. This was some 2-3 years back. Never had the courage to attempt it
again! Anyway now that i am experimenting many things with fitness, i thought i
will give this a try. So started the GM diet one fine day and surprisingly, i
was amazed with my will power to carry it through all the 7 days. I really lost
3 kgs with this. Now, am a person who goes around and tell friends what i am up
to. In such a conversation, one of my colleagues said that his wife has a book
which says GM diet is not something which a person should try and all the
weight you lose through GM diet you will gain back. So, now i thought “Challenge
Accepted!” I am a great fan of Barney Stinson of the How i Met your Mother fame. The struggle began to not gain back the lost
weight.
Coming back to the book (my colleague couldn't name it ,
when he suggested it to me) ! The books name was “Don’t lose your mind, lose
your weight”. Now this interested me in couple of ways. The author of this
book, Rujuta Diwekar is Kareena Kapoor’s dietitian And there are hell lot of
fitness books which are floating around in this world. So you never know
whether this is one of them or not.
Since i dint have any better things to do, started reading
this book! Believe me, any person who is in a state of weight loosing mind and
who has done similar kind of attempts like me and who has a very less
confidence on the success of weight loss path, should READ this. The principles are straight and amazingly
true. Best part of it , you won’t get bored reading this book!. And, she
succeeds in convincing you to try the methods that she has learnt. I love this
book and i suggest this to anyone who is into a weight loss regime. This Helps!
Back to GM diet! The Day 4, asks you to live on 8 bananas
and 3 cups of milk (no sugar added). I had never drank milk without sugar in my
lifetime. But this time, i attempted it. I COULD. I seriously couldn't believe!
And till date, i still drink milk without sugar. This is a LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT for me! Without boring you further, at the end of
June, i had successfully lost 3 kgs and didn't gain it back!
See you all in next post! So i am at little less than 80kgs.
