It is about time

I seriously need to lose some weight. I should stop hoping for any divine intervention and get off my ever expanding butt.

My food intake hasn’t quite gone down. I still eat like I did when I was pregnant with A. I know for sure I don’t need all this food but I simply can’t help it. I just love food! And I love snacking. I love all kinds of flour based foods, the worst food group when it comes to losing weight. My breakfast is cookies and coffee. I snack on chips and cookies, almost throughout the day. I love breads, mithai and paranthas. Gosh, the food list seems endless.

It’s been almost two years since I got on my treadmill. Two frigging years!!! No motivation whatsoever. And with the wintry weather, it is even harder. I could easily go for walks, particularly in the summer, but no, I don’t. Walking is the simplest and the easiest form of exercise and yet I have difficulty with it.
I am just plain lazy! Some one who loves and wants the easy way out. And it doesnt help that I am a procrastinator.

When will I ever get serious about exercising? I know I am not setting a good example for my kids. Of course, they are two young to understand the importance of healthy living but I ought to start soon before it is too late.

If I think about it, it is not just about losing some extra pounds. I think my BMI is in the range it should be. So it is more about improving my stamina , agility and becoming flexible yet toned. It is also not just about eating the right foods but also overhauling some of my lifestyle habits. I watch TV till 11pm at night. Why the heck do I do that? No reason, I just do it. As a result of which, I barely clock in about 5 hours of sleep. TV watching is a vice, I tell ya. It provides nothing substantial, just a load of noise and crap! And I complain about my son getting addicted to TV. Go figure!

I need to start soon – both, exercise and eat healthy. It is so pointless talking and writing about it. I sound like a dubious, phony character who is just full of talk. It is about time I walk the talk. It really is!
