Let's start!

So here is how it goes..

I turned 27 this month. Looking in the mirror I think, gee... I feel fat. Step on to the weights and I am dangerously touching 60 kilos. Now, I am a little over 5 feet tall, small built and let me put it this way, 60 kilos doesn't sit well on me. My normal range is in the low 50s.

There would be many out there going - really? Is she serious? This is not fat. But, I am here to tell you that the difference between fat and fit starts with indifference to small changes. Because the smallest of changes can have the biggest of impact. I am not going to ignore this. I plan to nip it in the bud and get fit and keep fit to the best of my capabilities.

I was on an 8 week stretch of night shifts not long ago and that saw me put on a good 5 kilos or more without any effort. That concerned me. Because weird shifts and crazy work hours is my life. I love my job, but clearly its not doing me any fitness favors, if I may say so. Leaving my job is not an option. I need to work with it and be fit at the same time. I joined a gym 3 weeks ago, but I got slacky and besides seeing ripped individuals who know exactly what they are doing threw me off. I felt sloppy and its not a good place for me. I need to make something work for me and noone but me can work that out for me.

I do not have a rich daddy and there is only so much money I can spend. Gyms are expensive and out of budget. Time is limited and not a fixed constant in my life. But I need to make it work.

Birthday resolution time-

Healthier lifestyle with incorporation of some form of exercise into my crazy routine.

This is not a daily journal. This is something to keep me motivated and hopefully, someone out there would read it one day and be inspired.

I am at rock bottom right now (fitness wise) and I would like to think that I can go nowhere but up from here.

What I did for fitness today:

1. Ate clean and healthy meals..

2. Slept good 8 hours (difficult in my line of work)

3. Decided to start a blog and invest in a cheap and flexible exercise routine for myself.

I hope that in an years time when I read this again, my fitness goals would be a thing of reality.
