I suck. I havent gone to the gym in 2,3,4 weeks. At first, I was still working out at home, doing abs and simple exercises but now I stopped doing even that. I feel flabby and yucky.
I dont know why I am so unmotivated to go workout. Is it because of the stupid rains? Is it because I have tons to do,like moving and packing(which technically I havent even started yet)? Is it because I am just being lazy and looking for silly reasons.Last year this time, it was the same. I didnt go work out because I didnt join a gym yet. Or my back hurt. Or I cannot find my shoes.A new day, a new reason.
Yesterday, NK took a picture of my outfit. When I uploaded that picture, I looked at my chubby face in disgust.You have to understand about my face. Its the first thing that gains weight. I always have chubby cheeks.ALWAYS! I then ran onto the weighing machine(I stopped my crazy daily/weekly weighing in because it drove nuts and I let my moods be controlled by the stupid machine). I have gained about 6 lbs of the 14 I lost when Nk left. FUCK! Some of it is because I hmm drank a bit too much. I can also place the blame on my mom’s murruku. or the pan of brownies I baked and fell flat into. Sigh.
Broom started a C25k challenge and I want to do it again. I had great success with early this year. I want to start it after the move and sign up for a run in April. Every NYE, my resolution will always include Lose weight. Each year for the past 15 years? LOSE WEIGHT. This year, I will change it to GET FITTER. Run the 5k under 40 mins.
- cringes..
I didnt adjust the collar of the jacket and I am going to blame the hair on that

I am first !! yay. Now I go read the post
Noooooooooooo, you cannot be demotivated. Whenever I feel like skipping gym, I think of you and go she has a LOT more work to do in a day than me and she still finds time to workout, so I have no reason not to:) Go rock the C25k!!
Me: I am hoping signing up for a race will kickstart my motivation
Cmon you know better than feeling disgusted. You will lose it all right back! And BTW you look great….I don’t see any of that weight you say you have put on.
Me: 6 l bs!! In 2 weeks. Sigh.
Don’t be so hard on u’rself shraikh…..you are not looking bad as you think- u luk great!
Me: you’re too kind Lux.
Moti (not pearl….FAT),
get off your ass and start it. 30 mins. thrice a week wont kill you. its less time than baking those brownies took you.
actually, in all honesty.. u really dont look like you have gained any.. but if u feel it, then do it.
Me: Tough Love…The brownies took 20 mins, 2 min to mix and 18 to bake. TJ baking mix.
And what about the 5 mins. to gather the eggs, oil, water and measure?
And what about the 7 mins. when the whisk fell splattering the mix on the countertop, clothes and floor? What about the 3 secs spent on swearing? What about clean up time? what about when one of the kids ran away with the whisk licking it? huh huh huh??
Yes, I have surveillance video feed from your home which now I have to un install and re install in the new home. Kitna kaam karathi hai!!
Honestly.u still look pretty even though u say u gained a little… for me the problem is i dont put on weight ..ppl think im the lucky few but i dont ,because my friends and family give me the look like im anorexic…u nw rite in india if ur fat,it means ur happy and healthy and though i stuff myself ,i dont gain weight and i lost some weight last week due to the stupid stomach bug..
Me: You know right, people are going to hate you.
Yes, I feel deep hatred bursting forth… (kidding)
I would SO trade with you.
Yeah, I go thru’ those excuse-making periods too. Basically its just laziness to get into the car and go to the gym
so every excuse, a cold, kids’ sickness, a bad day, see me lazing happily at home 
Not even the thought of the money I spent for the membership can get me off my butt.
Go get back in shape girl! Enjoy the run!
I am like you Sraikh, any weight that i gain goes straight to the cheeks.
And Athika- nice to find company. Lets form a wt gain club, and share tips. I am sure there are plenty of us, lamenting silently, feeling lonely and left out. Nobody has any sympathies for us
i know violet people actually hate us… like sraikh said… we definitely hv to start a weight gaining club… am happy to find company..i dont want to get fat but get to a weight were ppl say u look nice instead of giving nasty comments
comeon u cant say that… its ok to take it easy for a while and I am sure u will beat us all to that challenge that broom has started and now i am scared because u have joined it
cheer up lady
and yes i agree with that new year resolution god knows for how long i have the same one too
it’s a phase and you’ll kick out of it soon…and hopefully the comment section will be a high motivator….
now smile and enjoy preparing for teh run
Its ok to not be so hard on yourself and let your hair down once in a while. You’ll bounce right back!
My suggestion will be ditch it till the holiday season and come back with a bang in the new year.
Mmm… murukku!!!
Hi, please do start again? I was here (though I had about 3 months of exercise going and then a break which never ended), and still beat myself up about it.
I’m making new resolutions about this and slightly hate myself for not being able to stick with it.
Maybe a change in the type of exercise will help? Maybe when the weather changes again, being outdoors will be more fun?
I can totally relate to that. Started at the gym, did it for a few months and then quit and didn’t feel like it. ow have started again after seeing the c25k on Broom’s blog. Let’s see how long I last
think “fat woman” exists only in your head. u look lovely
lets go now. the couch to.. challenge sounds like fun.. try something different too, na? sign up for some other class? like karate or bollywood dancing or something like that… you will lose it all in no time, believe me!
Same pinch sweetie ! I’m here with you to give company in the former part and the latter too…
This NYE I’m too going to put the resolution as ‘Back to fitness like earlier’
Good Luck !
You don’t look fat, but am glad you’re joining the run. Adding your name to the list!
Welcome. I look forward to defeating you.
MUWAHAHAHAHA!
I always feel pretty blah when I skip the gym too. But at the same time, don’t be too hard on yourself.
