Its a new year resolution. Whatdidcha think?
This new year I have resolved to make myself fit. This is the technical jargon for losing oodles of weight. Its not as if I haven't tried before. I have. Honestly. One time it even lasted a full two weeks! But I need motivation. Lots of it. I tried a variety of ways. Singing which exercising, listening to the radio, feeling happy but none of them worked successfully. One step on the weighing machine would put me into depression enough to quell any squeak of the term exercise from within. Everyone I meet seems to be shocked by my size these days. Makes me wonder whether I was really that skinny a year and a half ago. Well, everyone except my Amma. She is the only one who believes that I am healthy but not too fat :)
A small christmas miracle occured in the last week of last year.

I happened to bump (literally) into a person from my past. A person who I least expected to meet. A colleague of yester years. She looked stunning. Absolutely trim and fit and that after 3 years of marriage (yeah marriage is one of the reasons I keep giving for my over-weightedness). I felt my innards turning inwards with shame. And the first thing she told me became the last straw "I think you have put on weight" and her hands went up trying to imitate a blown up balloon! I had to lose weight fast. Now it became a matter of prestige. My ego was hurt. Bah! Basically I got my inspiration to get rid of the fat.
I made it my new year resolution. Seeing my past track record I really hope I implement this one.

Oh I am really happy you switched to "music" with exercise. I was really angry each day when I want to read the morning newspaper and I dont find it. Thanks to you, who would hijack the newspaper to give you inspiration while you exercise. Please stick with music for inspiration.
LOL...I remember our next door little girl coming one day to inspect "the newspaper which keeps bobbing up and down on the top floor" (I was reading while cycling and she couldnt see me in her line of vision)
*sigh* everybody I meet says the same thing - you've put on weight. Hope we can both stick to our resolutions. :)
My belated resolution also! I realised that 6 kgs was about 1 stone...i thought it was more like half a stone.
So, now that I know that I've actually put on a whole and not half a stone since moving to Singapore, it's time to shift it!!
72kgs and dropping...watch this space.
And good luck to Siri and Swapna.

Swapna and Han let's do it....*punching the air with my fist*
