For someone who hasn't dared to check her weight since the forceful 12th grade medical check up at school, I've been ignorantly blissful for a while now. Having gone through periods of excessive weight obsession to lazily not doing anything about it and reaching for the last donut, I believe I've exhibited bi polar behavior more times than Silver on 90210!
Long story short, I don't want to torture my best friends over the love handles (which really is the politest way of referring to what is saved up pizza and chips and cocoberry - notice how I say 'saved' indicating that it will come of use at some point - I am a closet hoarder; yes, of food :P), the thunder thighs and the belly (though as one suggested I could just get a t-shirt that says "Siva Kaneswaran is my baby daddy" and be done with it).
The straw that broke the camel's back? A hospital trip two weeks ago to my horror led to weight check. After surviving my "oh-my-god-why-did-noone-break-that-awful-machine-before-I-came-in" moment, the result was as follows-
Height - 6 Feet
Weight - 70 Kgs
Now, I'm not obese or over weight. But I'm not in shape either. We all have our problem areas, mine just seem to be in multiples. I have what is called the quintessential Indian "pear" shape. Skinny arms and torso; problem steps in because I have an ass (and a half) and long, long legs.(that are desperate for shape of any kind really).
SO.
THE CHALLENGE - To Be Swimsuit fit for Goa in December. KILOGRAMS TO LOSE - 6DRESS SIZES TO REDUCE - 2 ( From a 9 to a 7)
DAYS - 60
DEADLINE - December 24
THE METHOD - Walking and Running.
I had to pick the simplest and easiest exercise, with my less than average will power and extreme laziness, I need something less daunting and more do-able. The treadmill is my new best friend.
Making this attempt public hopefully will ensure that I finish the task at hand and maybe even help some other restless yet lazy soul out there :)
D-Day initiates today.
Update if I survive, and If I don't, know that it ended with me trying.
Cheers!
