Years at the gym -

December 23, I guess, I shall complete 6 years in the gym. Its been a pleasure transforming myself. I love to exercise, had loads of interest in exercising, never materialized until 2013, though 2002- 2004 I did exercise, had loads of time.

Once I joined industry, never found time plus travelling to Marathahalli, and other longer places from Uttarahalli, never brought enough commitment out of me.

But after struggling to climb Gingee fort in 2013 december, I thought I had enough. I had all the while nurturing a secret ambition and it could never be fulfilled with this sort of fitness.

What was my secret ambition, well, to climb the Himalayas - :)-

Believe me, it could never have happened without the gym (mentioned in the previous post).

Need to be careful going ahead, not to hurt myself. This year pulled a back muscle just couple of weeks before my Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Though I have recovered fully, reminds me of not to overdo anything!

Cheers,

Gym offer for 2020

There is an annual offer at the gym. Sure I shall make use of it, can save couple of thousand of rupees. Just that I have to be consistent in the gym, and should not skip for months. I am pretty much confident of it. I just take max 2 weeks off for longer trips :)-

Cheers,

Exercise -

This year had less travel, I had couple of tours and one cancelled one, all of which required huge planning and logistics, that I couldn't travel excessively. Plus my new workplace requires me to travel to Marathahalli each day, so its hard to pack a travel punch unless I am equally committed.

Considering how boring my new workplace is, I never felt motivated to travel, because in order to travel with interest, you need to be well grounded, both personally and professionally.

What it did mean is, I got loads of time to exercise in the gym, yup, months after months, I was in the gym, helped me a lot mentally, physically left me drained out.

Will write another post describing what workout I used to do! Till last year I even chose to workout 7 days a week, but this year cut down to 6 consciously, having one day as a rest day!

Cheers,

100 posts for 2019 - Can I make it?

Every year I planned to write down 100 posts for the year, about something, travel, personal experience etc etc. It hasn't happened last year, on the verge of closure of this year too, I have a feeling I might not be able to write down 100 posts.

But I still have 15 days, if I can make 7 posts each day, over the next 15 days, I probably can get to a 100. Wow. that would be a miracle, but sure possible!

Cheers, lets attempt it from now!
Here it goes. Though I am going to randomly and shamelessly fit them into previous months.
