I have a confession to make. Monika‘s NSV post made me feel guilty. Are you ready for it? Takes a deep breath. Ihaventbeentothegymin2months. Exhale!
I cancelled my 24hour fitness membership. The daycare timings were just not working out for me. I cancelled it and thought I will do stuff at home and take walks/run. I didnt do a single thing. NOTHING. Not even a miserable situp before bedtime.
And I ate and ate. The 14 lbs I lost when NK was gone and I was sad and not eating. I made up for it. I drank. I have been making cocktails and drinking almost every night. Screwdrivers, Sunrises, Martinis…and slowly I have been noticing the weight creeping back on. The once loose clothes are getting snug again. The visible cheekbones have been lost under the cheek fat(why is my face the first to gain weight)
I decided to join the YMCA.They have longer daycare hours plus the kids could use the pool. I signed up last week and today was suppose to be my first day back. And I didnt go. I had to meet some moms for enrollment at Samar’s preschool and they flaked on me. And then I went out and bought stuff for Ashwina’s tea party. By that time, it was time to go get Neil. Then I came home,lunch and Samar took a nap. He’s been coughing and wheezing so I told myself I cannot go to the gym.
But enoughs enough. I am going to go and start working out tomorrow. I have decided I want to get back to Nordic walking. I loved those poles and I havent done it in over a year. It was easier to do in CO because people do strange outdoorsy stuff there and no one cares. Plus I lived very close to a hiking trail and would do it there.Here, the 2 times I walked with the poles, it was on the sidewalk and I swear people gave me crazy looks. I am hoping to find a race that would allow Nordic Walking and I want to enter in one. And as evidence, here’s today’s outfit
So what if the cheeks are fat. At least I have nice hair
Nk took the picture early this morning

PS:I doing the NaBloPoMo thing again. will try. Lets see
Yay for working out again
You look awesome! And don’t worry, once you go back to a regular workout schedule you will knock the socks of them fat cells!
I was just going to leave a comment asking what happened to your daily outfit posts! et voila! and good luck getting back to work outs!
So funny, I was looking at a picture of myself today and thinking how fat my face looks. I’m definitely chubbier than I’ve ever been but I have NO motivation for going to the gym. I’m busy! I have a work to-do list that makes me want to sob. But I have got to either learn to love the chub or find time (and motivation) to go to the gym.
Ugh, the motivation’s my problem with the gym too. I signed up for a fitness center thinking that because I paid the money I’d guilt-trip myself into going, I’ve gone exactly twice in the three months of my membership. If I dont go this month I’m going to cancel
I hope you manage to get back into the groove again. And I’m so jealous of all of you who can get away with light jackets, winter here seems never-ending!!
Me: Its been nice here the past 2-3 days. It was raining non stop.
U have soo much on ur plate right now and ur worried about not gymming?
I have such admiration for u!
You are lukin gorgeous to me.
Anyhoo, If u feel the need for gymmin, should do then.
Trust me, S, I wouldn’t have even ‘thought’ of the gym if I were you ! Exercising would be the last thing on my mind and sleep and rest would’ve totally taken its place
Big YAY to you for being so determined to gym and stay fit!
Me: sleep and rest. Who needs them. rofl
Can I be a troll for a day? Stop thrifting and start gymming!:D
Me: Smacks pretend troll
Yo! That sounds good, You get back there now. WTF do you care if they stare? Puh-lease, you Nordic Walk if you like it and to hell with them.
Me:
so says the marathoner.
You still look wonderful! Am sure you will feel better once you start gymming again – but I have to say – you still manage to do so much!
Me:I feel healthier already. rofl. I worked out yesterday and ate sensibly. Today am planning on another gym and swimming with the kids.
Aww babes,we all go through those phases..this is a phase,it will pass.Yay to you,for wanting to go back!
Me: I went back yesterday and omg, I am in pain today. Its horrible how much and how fast you lose your fitness level once you stop working out.
Join the club. I’ve paid for a years’ membership at the gym and have not gone there even once. Just spend my days cooking and eating, too lazy to drive there.
Me liking the thrifted necklace very much!
Me: hey you commented after a long time? Welcome back.
you are still looking great!! but yes to keep working at it consistently is the key i guess!
i paid for 3 months and went for like 15 days. didnt renew it. wanna start SOME form of exercise again!
all the best S!
cheers!
