Round Three: Lets the games begin

Its been ages since I posted about my lakshya or g and no prizes to the correct guess – I have been avoiding it. No & I did get my desired weight and my son is almost 15 months, and I am miles away from my goal. So many things pushed me off – house hunting, school, work … Fine they are excuses but they are real.

So why am I writing about it again? My hall-of-shame – should be deleted from my blog!!! If I had the guts, I think I would do it. Or maybe the day I hit rock bottom … Since that hasn’t happened and there is a silver lining I am writing about it again!

Our office opened a new gym and with a colleague joining forces with me, it been fairly easy to hit the gym for at least for about 30 mins each day. So new ground rules:

• Hit the office gym 5 days at lunch hour for a full hour
• Hit the stairs
• Avoid the sweets
• Check back more often

Lets hope I am older, wiser and will be able to keep it up. Jinx me not!

Round Two - Stretches

Stretches are by far the easiest part of the exercise for me - it makes me feel ready to get on the treadmill and after a good run - it relaxes and rejuvenates. But they are also the hardest to get accustomed. Its easy to skip a stretch and make a run to the car since you are running late, or skip it and jump on the treadmill to save a few minutes.

Well, when your baby keeps you up at night or you need to want to watch that movie, you go to bed late and then its hard to wake up in the morning. Yes I am guilty, I skipped four days last week! But I was good with taking the stairs! :) And even better at bringing lunch from home.
So overall not too bad a week. But lets revisit my ground rules, some things need to change

Goal: Get back in shape
Time remaining: 94 days

1. Lets check the weight one time - I need that extra push, this time around.
2. Hit the stairs - twice at least
   
3. No more gum!! Yes to H2O!
4. Get a buddy for moral support
   

Alright, lets hope I do better this week!

Wish me luck!

Workout – Round One

Warm-up

As I was talking with my honey about 1st year birthday parties, I realized that my son’s big event is less than 4 months away - and I still have the "just had a baby" look!!! So it’s back to gym, starting today … and this blog – I am hoping will be my saving grace. Every Tuesday I will post an update.

And here are the ground rules to follow

Goal: Get back in shape
Time Remaining: 101 days

1. No checking weight - last time I was trying to lose weight, this threw me off completely. After the first few weeks I hit a plateau - checking my weight started to depress me so much that I quit!! So this time, no checking weight.


2. Hit the stairs: Our office is on the fourth floor - so its will be a nice little extra kick.


3. Keep your head low and you will not see the treats strewn around the office!

I think 3 rules should be easy to follow.
Here I go …wish me luck …
