Back to Blogging and Sharing my Wins

-
It’s been a while since I blogged  so this post is a recap of all the happenings  from the last time I blogged about quitting Body Revolution. First was the vacation, we were spending the time at my hubby dearest’s parents’ home. It’s this quaint town up north of the country, the beautiful valley, Dehradun. The vacation itself was good with some amazing sightseeing.
 Now about the fitness regime, I had planned to add an assortment of exercises, but none of that happened.  The good part was that I ate well, had a lot of exercise doing house chores which included climbing stairs innumerable times with princess in tow. The results of that was an amazing loss of 10lbs and reaching my halfway mark of weight loss journey. Also lots of inch loss which meant fitting it quite a bit of my pre-pregnancy clothes. There were trousers that I couldn’t get past my thigh, which I slid into easily and buttoned up with no bulges.
After the vacation I wanted to get back to my workouts, but life and laziness got in-between. Eventually I was back on track, which included running and starting my second round of Body Revolution.  I have developed a love for running which I am surprised about, it is refreshing to run in the park. I am using the Endomondo app to track my running. This is also my way to prepare for the half marathon in March. This week is the first week of Body revolution Round 2. I have upped my weights this time and each workout kicks ass and leaves sore muscles. I have also added some extra Abs workout ( Ab ripper X) on every alternate day because that’s the area that needs most working out on.
That’s about the workouts, apart from that career wise I have plan to be a cost accountant so have enrolled for ICWA . It involves delving into a subject I am completely clueless about, Accounts, but what’s life without challenges. Also I have a little proving to do to myself  and hubby dearest that I still have it in me to score well in any game be it life or studies.
On a different note we celebrated Princess’s first birthday on the 22nd of this month. We dint want to have a huge party because, one kids are cranky in a crowd and second I wanted princess to be happy on her first birthday. So it was just hubby, my parents, our close friends and me for a small Pooja at home.  It was nice and princess was super happy messing around with the cake. Time flies and every time I look at my daughter I wonder she is already one, the next I know we will be shopping around for prom dresses. They grow so fast, especially daughters, it’s a little scary at times. A year of being a mom has been wonderful and princess you make my world complete.
This blog has been a little longish but I just wanted to bring you all up to speed . You will so more of me in the coming days

This is a happy post cause I wanted to  share some happiness. When I started the blog I mentioned how I was stuck in a rut professionally and needed to make some changes. The big news is that I have a new job,  professionally excellent and  its a big move getting me closer to my dream role. I have never confessed but I am ambitious and power and the corner glass room excites me. For a while I have been lazy and the fire within had kind off quitened but with this news its back again in full blaze. I am enjoying some last quite moments in my present job so I am fully charged for the new challenge. The other happiness is weight wise I have dropped another 2 kgs so I am getting closer to my goal weight slowly .I was so thrilled to se the scale move, alas the hardwork is paying off. Jillian this wouldnt be possible without you  so a big thank you This month was also my birthday month and age wise I have moved on to the big 35. The birthday itself was amazing because hubby dearest thre

Bangalore Pinkathon 2015 - memory to cherish

-
My first marathon for the year was the Pinkathon Bangalore 2015 on the 22 nd of Feb. I had almost decided not to run it, but thank god I did. It was the most liberating experience to run   with 11,000 women from different age groups and strata. The month of February has been the toughest for me. First it was my mother who had the flu then my hubby dearest, followed by my princess and last me. A month of tending to the sick and then having the viral flu taking away all the reserved store of energy from my body, left me with zero exercise or workout.   I looked like a train wreck and work took away what little was left of me. So on the morning of the run while I looked at my sleep deprived self in the mirror I wondered whether I should just go back to bed.   The clocking reminding me that it was 4 am wasn’t helping, and then somewhere I mustered the strength in the deepest corner and got dressed. Tied my shoe laces and drove off to the venue. All the way I promised myself that i

Bipasha Basu’s Breakfree - Review

I am huge fan of   Bipasha Basu, for those who don’t know her she is a Indian Movie Star.   Her being a star is not the reason I like her, it because of her killer body .   She I am sure has worked her ass to achieve it because when she joined the film Industry she wasn’t that fit, proff right here When she got into the whole fitness DVD thing I was among the first to buy her DVD. It was an amazing workout video on the same lines of Jillian Michaels.   So when she planned the release  of her second DVD Breakfree, I went and pre ordered it through Flipkart . It was my New Year gift and it arrived on the first so thankyou flipkart.   Now about Breakfree, so as I mentioned this is the second installment of the Love yourself series. The preodered DVD comes with Bipasha’s autograph on it. It is a dance workout unlike her earlier dvd . The audience she wants to target is anyone who finds gym workout. The DVD contains ·          An introduction to love yourself philosophy
