Day 5..I can do this

Well, as the time is passing and as much as my instructor is telling me how much I am improving, I know my body. I know he says all these things so that I am motivated and keep on working hard for my health and fitness.
Day 5 was my yoga day, I have always liked this day more than any other form of exercises and I am sure, he must also be noticing what to do about how to bring any new changes! But Gawd, I was taken aback. He made me do the same poses but made sure that I improve and push my limit just a bit more. He is very well aware of my limitations and yet he pushes me till where I can take. Thank You!

From Henceforth, I would be only updating per week, so look out!

Day 3 and 4- It Ain't That Difficult

Well, the first few days are quite challenging . When every muscle in your body is aching as if they have been tied and bound. That's how I have been feeling for the last two days. My coach alternates between yoga and focused body parts exercises. And when he motivates with compliments like- your flexibility is improving, it just makes me feel good. 
While parting yesterday, he mentioned that I am gonna hate him today as he is planning to do exercises that focus on legs. Well as scared I was, it was actually not that difficult. I was crying and making faces coz he expects that his client give their best effort. But then I was trying and sometimes I act up so that he goes easy on me.Yeah he knows I act like a small kid sometimes. But then I close my eyes and let his motivating voice guide me. I hope I am able to express my gratitude this way.

Day 2 of my journey- I hate him

Oh what! You are making me work so hard! i cant do it anymore.Please I cant take this class anymore.
Yes , I said all the above things to my instructor today. But he let me be a pampered kid but at the same time kept on doing on what he does best- teach me to do better.
Today he had decided to do some arms, shoulders and Abbs workout. having been doing yoga , almost always it was really tough for me to do all these. And now each and every part of my body is hating him for all that he has done today and cursing me for taking up this offer. What the hell was I thinking?

Well , he said a few things that made me realize that he is right. No one has the magical pill, to make your body fit. SO you need to work hard for it. And unless you are happy, how hard you try to work, you can never reach where you wish to. Well said sir!

He is a no nonsense kind of guy who can keep his emotions in check. I could feel how crestfallen he was when I said all the above things but he did complete his session and as a bye, he said if there is something you wish to talk , I am here but kindly when you come for exercises, keep your off mood at home and be happy with what you are doing, coz unless you do that... well his work and energy is wasted. I felt sorry for my behavior and hoping that he would come back tomorrow to teach me. His care for his client is genuine and wants them to work hard for their own self. it is endearing and something else. So, yes sir! I will try to walk on your path.

My Journey to a better health (Day 1)

It has been almost two years when I have tried to be a bit serious about my health. due to certain medical reasons, I am not able to work hard or go to gym. Well I am not going to get into that. 
What I needed was a nudge and a push in the right direction and someone who can help me on my path. I always wanted a friend who could support me when I am about to fall, and guide me on doing the proper workout in the right way. 
I have always been interested in following simple yoga to maintain good health and flexibility, but never could find out my true strength. In a class of many students, the instructor is not able to correct the pose for everyone, thus it benefitted but not to the extent that I hoped for.
A week back I had a request from a person , whom I did not kno, had nothing in common, but then something caught my attention. His love for yoga (there were more too)! As we got talking, I found out that he does take personal training and he wanted to help me out. We agreed to meet and therby started my journey to a better and fitter me!
I am sure it would have its ups and downs, he assures me, that I am going to even hate him and say all nasty things, but when we finished the day one, I realised that I have more energy and happier attitude. His constant reminders about drinking and eating right is the daily motivation.I found out that he puts his soul into his client's well being. Thank you Angel!

The Fairer Sex

Women, the epitome of beauty praised, worshiped , loved everywhere. Men cant live with them or without them. Monuments, songs and books are written about them. Men consider them lucky whenever they are successful. 
Mother, Sister, Daughter, Wife! 
In Every role she is full of advise!
And yet sometimes we fail to understand our inner strength. We fall weak and let our emotions take control of who we are.
We cry and sob and be become sad. We feel so unloved and so unresolved that darkness is a bottomless pit.I ask why do we need to feel so? 
Why cant we just become the Goddess we are known for! not the angry one but the one who knows the right from wrong. One who can become the support system and silently be the stronger one in any relationship. Let the tears be only to wash away the dirt in your eye. 
Get up, wipe those tears away and move ahead in life.
You are the best one for yourself! you do no need anyone to take care of you. Earn and live by your own rules. Never crumble and lose yourself!
Let me know your views!

The '#' trend

The '#' trend has taken over our lives where there is a certain urge to document everything and share it with some strangers on social media. I wont deny that i am not privy to it. I have done it too. but sometimes I fail to understand the certain urge to do so frequently.
I find that a lot of things are interconnected. There are certain things to consider
1. Loneliness
    We are flooded with messages from friends all over every platform of social media and yet we find hardly any one to share our actual thoughts. besides we have not kept our private life private anymore where you can check out everything that a person goes through on Facebook, Instagram etc.
2. Demand for high end phones
     mind it the demand for high end phones is seldom for its actual utility and more for the quality of camera, Enough space to hold the numerous snaps and the RAM to process everything quickly and to be able to score various platforms to #share the life.
3. Are we really this desirable?
   most importantly this trend that makes us want to share everything , does it make us more desirable or just to show the other person, how lovable and popular we are.
There was a movie made on this- The protagonist falls in love with a girl in the cafe and follows whatever she does by her posts. and in the end is able to make her fall in love. But he soon discovers, she merely posts them; it is only partially true.
So what are we actually doing with this # ?
putting a sign in front does not make it worth talking about.
#Declaring #it #to #the #world!
As if from this moment ago, your life was different!

Love, A Weighty issue part 2

In my last post,I mentioned that the first thing that attracts a person is the way one looks. Well, I am fair and tall and a decade back was slim too. i might have had a good share of male attention and following but i would never consider any of it love, mere crushes so to speak. Yes i was oblivious of it all, in hindsight i feel i was great at being this ignorant. but then i changed, got married , had kids and thus my body changed too. but has the love I receive from my husband changed? has he stopped feeling the same way about me like he use to when we got married?
If the person evolves emotionally, mentally why cant we accept the person with a bit of weight (over)? Its great to be fit . but be fit in mind, soul and body.
Love , in my opinion should not matter on weight or how good looking a person is. in fact what should matter is the nature and the emo level of the person. Be the kind of person who accepts love for all its rightful reason. Don't make it such a weighty issue. Love should be humongous and all accepting! Love Yourself and accept who you are in all your sizes!
Write to me and tell me what you think!
