Yes, I am one of the gazillion people whose new year resolutions included getting healthy/hitting the gym regularly. Frankly I am not a stranger to this group considering that I have been a part of this group for the past 4 or 5 years. The big difference this year is that I am actually taking the resolution seriously (never before has the resolution seen any effort on my part). So I have been working out quite religiously for the past 2 to 3 weeks (considering the first 2 weeks of Jan as start up time). Scary proof of my strange dedication, I am up at 7.45 am on Saturday mornings to go a kickboxing class. And I am not a morning person..at all...(my husband is amused and shocked at the same time with this change).
Add my sudden enthusiasm for working out with my previous couch potatoness and voila you have the recipe for severe muscle soreness. So the past few weeks looked a little like this.. Me pleading people not to make me laugh cause even breathing is hurting my abs and stomach right now ( Thanks a lot ab crunches)...Me wincing and going "owowowow" with every step (Thankyou dear kickboxing and spinning classes)... You get the picture.
After I returned from walk/jog around the neighborhood this weekend, a fresh wave of soreness hit me. And I thought to myself "This is crazy... My body should be supporting me in my effort to become healthy. It shouldn't being trying the sabotage this for me with all this stupid pain". I only wish I could have a conversation with my body which would go like
"Listen you need to get along with the program...This is going to be good for both of us...You get healthy I get toned... We both get compliments..This definitely, is a win-win situation here.. And even if I am not going to get your support can you at least try not to dissuade and distract me with the pain.."
For obvious reasons thats one conversation thats not happening.. :)

Yeah, knowing you as I have I am shocked out of my wits abt the whole 7:45 thing. (Remember our Findlay market irritations???) Scary. People change all the time. Living proof.
Yes it scares me too when I stop to think about it. Can u imagine I am all pumped up on Friday night to get up early on Saturday. Though its hilarious to to see the shock on R's face every Friday night seeing my enthusiasm.
And we should be happy unlike the other changes in me this change is for better :P
Vidhya's Body: "Oh come on...whatsup with u suddenly. You are already toned and thin. I am barely there, and now do u wish to remove my existence and be invisible? In no way will I submit. I know you are evil, but it won't work with me. I know its just for a few weeks and it will aaallll fade awayyyy. And just recall the times when you used to curse your poor good friend Sachin who used to go all the way to downtown and call u on saturday mornings if you needed some fresh veggies from the farmer's market. And now u wake me up even earlier and expect me to co-operate? Not working babes...You deserve the pain."
Sachin thanks for putting my body's thoughts into words :P. And u apparently aren't seeing the pics I send u (thin and toned mhane).
I still stand by my decisions of screaming at you for waking us up to go to Findlay Market. Buying veggies is still not good enough reason to wake up at 7.30 am.
