Thank you 2014

Season Greetings all my lovely readers J

I know it’s been a long period of silence before this post and I am sure someone out there must have missed it. Let me be honest, I was lazy to go on writing. But I am back again to write the last post for the year.
A year has gone by and what a year it has been so a warm hug to you 2014. There were times of frustration, smiles, laughter, tears and a truck load of excitement. This year has been the most fulfilling year for my fitness goals. I discovered running this year and may I say I have fallen in love with it. A proof of this undying love is taking part in a bunch of marathons. It started with the Puma Urban Stampede (5K run), then came The Bull run(16Km trail run up Nandi hills)   and then it was followed by the 10K Kaveri trail Marathon . This year also saw me run my first ever half marathon (21Km)  at the very first Bangalore Marathon  and I ended the year with another 21Km at the Bangalore Midnight Marathon. Each of these made me realize that if I really put my mind to it nothing is impossible. It’s all a mind game and no distance is invincible.  While I list my wins my head has resolved to win the half marathon next year and prepare myself for the first full marathon 42Km. This has become addictive and what an addiction to have.






 

This year also saw me enter the gym and workout with a personal trainer. It made me enjoy my sessions in the gym and got me over the perception that gyms are a bad place. Pictures speak a thousand words so here is me at the beginning of the year and now.

With all the wins the year also bought some failures and some great lessons with it. And as this year ends I am renewing the pledge to being a yummy mummy. This include  all parts of my life be it health ,career, relationships ,finances or community. To help me do this I am reading one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time ”How to get from where you are to where you want to be” by Jack Canfield. The book has some fantastic examples and real life stories. More about the book when i am done reading.
So this year there are gonna be some long drawn resolutions.Have you started on your new year resolutions?  Let me know  
Till the have a splendid holiday sesason and God bless

Happy Post

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
