Its Friday. Can you believe it? I’m
happy though. I always look forward to the weekends. There used to be a time in
my life when I loathed weekends. My person life was spinning out of control and
I hated to be home with my thoughts. I resorted to food for comfort, as a way
of rebellion and out of complete helplessness. Mentally, I was a mess and
physically I was driving myself towards another disaster. Nearly five years
later. I am still paying for the abuse I threw at my body, in terms of the five
star (candy) bars I used to devour in the dead of the night!
Despite knowing how badly overeating
hurts me, I still find myself reverting to my old habits. The only argument in
my favour is that I snap out of it pretty fast. Like this time after vacation
eating, I went right back into exercise mode.
I have signed up to have a personal trainer
at my gym. Let me promise you, it costs a bomb. But can I whisper a little
secret – Oh my God! I love it. My body demands and craves for exercise. After an
hour of a combination of squats, lunges, pull ups, crunches and other
exercises, I feel awesome, stronger and happier. And all that hard work keeps
my eating in check too.
I have found that I make better food
related choices and decisions when I exercise. Its possibly the thinking that
when I’m working so hard, I should not mess up by eating a bakery goodie. Or
may be it’s the endorphins?
Anyway, I really wanted to share my
experience with exercise, with those who are trying to lose weight in some part
of their life. What is your experience with working out? Lemme know. Or do a
post and leave me a link J.
