When the going gets tough...

Phew!! What a day it was. Work wise it wasn't that bad considering the fact that my boss is not gonna be here for this whole week and my colleague who was on leave all this while is gonna be back day after tomorrow. So its just one more day and i will be free from the additional responsibilities that i had been taking care of from the past 2 weeks!! : /

But what was tiresome was the work out session that i had today....i think my trainer is hell bent on killing me!! I had cardio today, and he had asked me to get ankle and wrist weights. I got ankle weights for both my legs of 2 kgs each, and 1kg each for my wrists. In case u don't know how they look here they are:


I did my whole work out today wearing these weights and man it was tough!! It felt like i was in jail and i was being subjected to third degree torture. And these are the exercises that i did apart from 15 mins each of treadmill, elliptical trainer and spinning. Apart from the ones below i also did some 200 odd crunches.


Anyways, thats all from my side tonight, i am gonna crash now....don't think i have the stamina/energy to write anything more. Good night guys n gals!!

Phew!!

Had a long day today......work was not half as tiring as the work out session that i had in the evening. All i can think of now is dropping flat on my bed. Since today i was supposed to do cardio work out, this is what i did at the gym. Can't believe i did all of this:

Elliptical Training

Treadmill

Pull-Ups

Spinning

Obliques Flexor

Push-Ups

Hanging Ab Crunches

Regular Crunches

Anyways i am gonna crash now....I am going to chill at a pub tomorrow after a really long time. No movie this weekend coz i think there's nothing worth watching. So all you guys have a great weekend!! :)

Who wants Weekdays!?

This weekend passed off in a jiffy....and the result was, i was left asking for more! :( I so wanted to have a longer weekend. Anyways, lemme tell you what did i do, Saturday i went to work for a while and i returned home by lunch time. Had a nice lunch and slept for a while and rushed to gym after waking up at 5.30 p.m. My trainer made sure that he made the most of it coz Sunday is an off for me....so he takes his revenge from me on Saturdays! :P ;) After working out till 7.30, he finally had some mercy on me and let me go. Actually i shouldn't be saying this coz its bcoz of this rigorous schedule that i have lost close to 6 kgs. Now that's some achievement for me....and this has given me a lot of impetus to work harder. :) Ok lets move further, in the evening we had some family friends come over for dinner at my place. So this is how Saturday came to an end.



Then came Sunday, the only time that i got was in the morning...so i lazed around till 11.30 or so and then i had to get ready for lunch. We went over to a family friend's place for lunch, and since they stay in the suburbs we had to travel a lot. I got done by 3.30 p.m and rushed to Fun Cinemas (a multiplex), had booked tickets for Luck By Chance in advance. My guy was their with me, and we went for dinner after the movie. The movie was nice, all the actors have played their roles well. The references of the Hindi Film industry is really interesting....and that's why this movie is worth a watch. In fact, i wouldn't mind watching it again! :) I really liked Farhan in the movie, I have suddenly developed a liking for him since Rock On. :P Anyways, i loved the music by Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy, i feel they have done a wonderful job. I have already downloaded a couple of songs from the internet and i seem to be hooked to them. I was back home by 9.30 p.m And this is how my weekend came to an end. :( Just didn't realize how the the weekend passed away. Now i am waiting for the coming weekend. :)

Size Zero Obsession!!

This is not about me being obsessed with size 0, this is about the current trend which says that being size 0 is in!! I really dunno how can something so unhealthy be cool!? And I absolutely fail to understand the reason behind this craze to become a size zero! Initially i thought this trend was only prevalent in the western countries....(who can forget the dead pan expressions of the models who strut down the ramp on FTV). But now this trend seems to have caught up in India as well! Wonder what happened to all those crusaders who used to say that this is something that exists only in the west and that we are Indians and Indian women have the most voluptuous/curvy figure and this makes us look healthier, blah, blah, blah. Welcome to the new goddess Kareena Kapoor, who looks as thin as she can at 48 kgs!! Does that mean that the malnutritioned look is in...ok i wonder what that means though. Director Aditya Chopra surely seems to have a thing for the "Size 0 Look" coz he's the one who started it with Dhoom: 2, where Ash was asked to lose weight drastically so that she cud carry off all the clothes the way she did in the movie. And now everybody seems to be waiting with bated breath to see Kareena sizzle in a bikini in her forthcoming film "Tashan". According to me, she is not looking gr8 wth bones jutting out from all over her body, to think of it i would say Bipasha anyday looked far more sexier in a bikini in Dhoom: 2. Well I am not against losing weight or anything of that sorts but what i want to say is that losing weight to insane levels is definitely not recommended. Anyways it all depends on the kind of reactions Kareena will evoke with her new look in Tashan. Although, the media is already raving and ranting about her new avatar which resembles her now close cousins of the west like Victoria Beckham, i want to know what does our 'Hoi Polloi' (that means public) feel about it. Feel free to agree or disagree with me.
