Body Perfect

In November'10 I began my self infused health sprint. The problem with developing new friends who become a wee bit close to you is that they take liberties in pointing out your flaws. Body contour was compared to various curved objects. Thus also ensue a self-infused dont-develop-new-friends sprint. It goes very well with my ego.

A month long regiment of 2 hour gyms, and a pseudo-diet developed itself. Though i resist the label of routine, i like the familiarity of a schedule. Theres' a side of me loathes the familiar, and a side that grapples, searching for it. To make a plan to search for the balance would be too schedule-istic, and the battles recursively returns to line 11. So i just go with what feels righteous at that time.

The 20-25 days of working out did wonders for self-image. I didn't lose too much weight, which was disappointing, but the idea of being on the path to a toned body is enough to keep me satisfied with my work-out regiment. Also i didnt give too much attention to the diet. I had sandwiches frequently and whenever i was hungry, even though i realised they werent actually healthy. Any sandwich with multiple layers of sauce/cream/butter and some paneer ain't really good input. But the weight was stable, and i didnt change anything.

But after the December holidays, i've installed a 2month-long workout hiatus. The curviness has returned, and in all the wrong places. The waist has grown an inch.

The Sunday run today has put the need to keep fit back in the forefront of priorities. I can sprint for 30 seconds, or a jog for 10minutes. This compared to 2-3minute sprints and 35 minute jogs is a pitiful situation. I was out of breath early, and the muscle resistance pain was sharp. Within the first 1/3rd of my jog i experience a muscle resistance. I take it as natures friction, a way of resisting exercise.Once that muscle response has been negotiated, the rest of the run is basically just breath control.

It's time to return to the regime, even with a week of heavy drinking planned after the coming week.

1.Got to figure out a proper salad with sprouts in it. Cornflakes and salad should be good BF.
2.Cut out rice, i think. Maybe lunch can be a box of cut fruits.
3.If not a workout, i think a run everyday is a must-do. 10-15minutes at first, then work it up i think. Maybe a 5 min increment every day.
4. Breathing pattern is the core of running. Pranayama in the morning needs to become an item.
5. Dinner could be sprouts and a diet coke.

So,
BF-fruits/salad+ Cornflakes
Lunch- Idon'tknowyet
Dinner-Sprouts+Diet Coke.

Let's see how this works out
