A break, a treat and now a feast!!


Whoa.. am feeling guilty today.

Yesterday's lunch was waaayyyy overboard. The usual lunch kakies went to an Indian restaurant along Coleman Street for a super-delicious, super-calorie naan and curry buffet! One word: I can see evolution kicking in the moment I started. The curries were rich- with heaps of cream, yogurt, and all sorts of other thickening and yummy spices. And the eyes and brain went: 'OMG.. I am going to load up on these super-caloric food, not sure when my next meal would come!' I think I had 4 pieces of naan to mop up all the curries- plus their meats, fish, vegetables.

I thought I heard my stomach cry: 'ENOUGH!' but the eye-brain tag team was too strong for the stomach's protests! The brain focussed the eye and the hand just reached out and grabbed! So the feast was paradoxically, enjoyable for the tastes but bad for guilt-ridden for the conscience. And you my blog has to bear witness to this.

In other, subsumed by the screaming headline, news, my ten minute stretches in the mornings are beginning to show results. The abdominals are stronger- doing the same sets of crunches doesn't seem to hurt so much now. Pushups are also similarly getting easier. Consistency, what I have been writing about, is really kicking in. AND the best part is that it doesn't really take that long, nor that much effort, nor even gear- heck I just exercise in my pyjamas.

The effects has taken about 3weeks to show but hey, come to think of it, the impact (stronger shoulder and arms, tighter abdominals butt) are with me for the rest of the day. And that for me is a good investment.

Reviving this

Hmm,

Let's see how this can be done.

Perhaps I could spare some time in the morning before my routine kicks in the morning, just like today. In any case, between the last post and this, a lot has happened in-between. But, a lot remains the same.

Same crappy job though. Same pay, same higher-upper, same nonsense from the same people.

But wait, somethings's changed! I got more stuff to do! GRReeaaat! Sigh...

Exercise, that's the other thing I must say has not been the same. Accepted that I cannot be spending the same amount of time as previously, but, the current set-up is too extreme man. I got to get back into a routine. Cannot keep going like this or it would be back to square one!

Ok! Admittedly it would be an exaggeration to say exactly back to square one, but, one might never know. The amount of work taken to drop that MUCH amount of weight and for me to regain it back would be absolutely frightening, to say the least!

So here goes my plan... I am going to TRY to DO SOMETHING, anything, about this current malaise.... and I will use this to check in on my own promise!
