Back in Shape..

By the title itself, it is pretty clear that this time the blog is dedicated to my physique. Yet i want to make it clear that besides body, it would also deliberate about the mental condition also. Without much ado, let us start from the point from where it all started.

If you have been the constant follower, you must be knowing about a decision i took about 4 months back on my birthday eve that is 23.5.14. If at all, you have missed, kindly revisit the blog published in may 2014 which clearly mentions about the moment i decided to cut on my food habits. After almost four months, i am proud to announce that i have shed all those extra kilos which did put me in obese category people. I am back in shape reducing 16 kg of weight starting from 80 kg to 64 kg and still counting.

Last four months, have been a journey full of roller coaster rides. I have seen many ups and lows in past few months which has been discussed elaborately in the previous blogs. To sum up, starting from the pledge of reducing weight to running 10kms a day , from visiting Amarnath shrine to paying obeisance at Salasar Dham, from having arguments in office with seniors to settling issues with contractors, from starting construction of new home to searching for a perfect match.

To consolidate, mentally and physically, i have changed a lot in these days. Running has increased my stamina and off course, Spirituality always makes a person more stronger internally hence i am content with the way i utilized the time in channelizing my energy in the right direction. Since i am back in shape now and only i know about the labour that i have put in to reach at waist line of 30. So i would not dare to allow myself to gain weight again in my entire life.

In the end, i would also like to thank all the people who in some or the other way helped me in achieving my goal. Be it lovely, with whom it all started, be it the doctor for his valuable suggestions, be it pankaj for accompanying me throughout my stadium days, be it my parents for allowing me to continue my dieting without much arguments, be it the people for their encouraging feedbacks from time to time.

A month full of Disturbances

August 2014, which had just passed, had been a month full of disturbances, lows for me in every manner. Be it Personal, be it professional. The details related to it, will be explained as we progress in the blog. Before delving into the problems, we must also pay some attention to the factors which kept me going despite the problems viz a viz Movies, Running and Pankaj, of course.

August 2014, will always be remembered as one of the worst months in my life and i wanted to put it in records hence this blog happened. To start with, the month started with another fight with lovely. (He has been the most talked about person in last few blogs). Which made me feel so disheartened that i could not resist myself but to cry once again because of him.

Then there was office issues which were affecting me in a big way. As government employees are most of the times busy in conspiring something or the other against somebody in the office, this time target was myself. They all poked me to the level that i openly declared protest against my seniors. Which was reported to the higher authorities.

Thirdly, family issues kept me busy as construction work is in progress at home. Some decisions were to be taken about which myself and Papa had some arguments. Finally, mom intervened and resolved the issues but all this created unnecessary tension at back home. In middle of all this, my younger brother was diagnosed with few stones in his kidney. Which was shocking news for me as i had never imagined myself into a situation where one of my family member could be treated for some major problem except cold, cough etc.

In short, my life was fully screwed and there was no way out to escape all problems. So i had no choice but to fight. I strengthened myself mentally and introspected thoroughly. Lovely got replaced by Pankaj. Everybody needs a person in life to share his/her feelings, lovely did not stand out beside me in difficult times pertaining to his own issues so i took a step forward towards Pankaj thinking he would help me in getting out of the chaos. Though Lovely had been a support system for last one year but in past few months he had ignored me to the level that i am helpless to leave him at his own terms.

Office problems still continues and movies give me the much needed boost to tackle them in the best way possible without losing my cool. I am looking forward to resolve them at the earliest because it's been very tough to enact as if everything is fine. GOD is testing my patience. Even i am not sure that how it will end.

Family issues were never there, they were just overrated by myself only. Moreover, my mother has always been a friend to me. I have shared everything with her and can openly talk to her regarding any problem. Finally, construction work is smoothly going on. Building his/her own home is a dream for everybody in life. I am living my dream these days.
