EVERYBODY needs inspiration.you even need inspiration to get up from bed in the

morning to tackle the day.i guess it started with sharukh in omshanthi om, amir

in ghajini and john abraham in dostana. i felt ashamed, disgusted, and sat and

thought for a long time and decided now is the time i decide to change things

and if not now,its going to be never..

my back was operated upon,so i cant do strenuous stuff..EXCUSE

I have had a mild heart problem 10 years ago, i shouldnt do cardio..EXCUSE

I have high bp..shouldnt do stressful excercises..EXCUSE

i decided to make the first step..walk. started walking 5 minutes at a time,

3 to 4 times a day . today i walk 6 kilometers on the tread mill at 6.5km

an hour's pace .i weigh 91.5 kilos today from the 106 that i was and am looking

forward to climb my personal mountains and reach my milestones that looked

so far away and probably unattainable.at least i think i can run towards them

today never mind what i attain or achieve. it is the positive attitude that comes

with the adrenalin that is pumping in your body due to working out.the

endocrines that rush into your system when you workout make you look at life

in a compeltely new and vibrant perspective. that is probably why you see people

strutting their stuff (male and female) when they have fit bodies. hopefully i

will get there soon..this blog is also to inspire myself along with the others out

there who have trapped themselves by telling themselves they cant

when actually, they so...can.

the first step is always the hardest. i found myself fat,jaded and disinterested

with nothing going my way since an unhealthy body begets unhealthy feelings

and thoughts. 5 years of suffering froma L4L5 slipped disc followed by a disc

removal operation,high blood pressure compounded with work pressures and

anxieties of the future made life unbearable till...i decided to take the first step

i was 106 kilos and at 6feet height it was obesity.

the first effort starts in the mind,decision and effort to back the the decision

it always starts with small walks.
