The fat lady sings ??


I was never a slim girl, I was always what they call ‘voluptuous’. However, I never hated that aspect of myself. I knew I had a pretty face, I always thought I looked attractive and cute. I had to take care of what I ate, but I never went on rigorous diet or anything. The whole of school and college I maintained the 'voluptuous' figure, and did pretty well with that. Then I met my husband, who thought I was beautiful and the fact he liked a little padding on his women helped :)
Then we got married and slowly I lost all interest in maintaining my shape. I used to avoid any kind of oil or fats before, and now I was suddenly eating butter with everything. I did aerobics at least 3 times a week before, now I was refusing to walk even two blocks. I never ate after 9 pm, and now we were going out for dinner at 10 pm. I didn’t realize the kind of irreparable harm I was doing to myself, neither did my husband. Whenever someone said that I had gained weight he would say no problem, there is more of her for me to hug. *sigh* We woke up to our unhealthy lifestyle and the harm last year, when we consulted doctor on having a baby and she said there is nothing wrong with any one of us except my weight .
Well , we came home and I decided to go on diet, consulted a dietician ,who charged us a bomb, and gave me a eating regime . I followed it for two months and then gave up. I didn’t really give up, I had to travel and the schedule went for a toss. The same happened with my gyming . I was inconsistent with exercise and eating habits, so the result was I used to gain whatever I used to lose a week or month before. And to add to that , I joined an American company , so my working hours were from 3 pm to 12 am , leaving me mentally exhausted and unwilling to take any efforts.
But now it has changed. I am with an Indian company, I keep regular hours. I am doing yoga three times a week and walking on the balance three. I am trying to eat healthy and right. I am not drinking or binging anymore. Anymore …meaning for the past 2 months … I intend to follow it this time.
……….I aint singing .
………..and it is far from over.

Dhoni will reap........

.........that , what was sown by Saurabh .
I had tears in my eye as I watched the news yesterday , when I reached home after office . Saurabh Ganguly made Indian Cricket team into Team India and he retired yesterday.



This visual is what comes to my mind (and always kinda makes me go goosebumpy , in all the right ways :P ) when I think of Saurabh Ganguly , the most successful captain of India .
Well done!!
