I did it...


YES I DID IT FINALLY....

started going to the gym...it happened last week on a cloudy tuesday evening. i had brought in a set a clothes with me...so there was ample indication its going to happen today...i came out of my cubicle the bread and butter of my life, and went out...took a short stroll and then i was there, standing in front of the door way to the future of my physical fitness...the door to my gym...

i started out with cycling for 5 minutes...man it was tough doing it after so long...the instructor is very enthuiastic guy...keeps pushing and erging to go on...keeps saying "good for u bad for others" couldnt understand it but still went on with it...then after some warm up exercise did cross trainer (sort of a stepper) for 5 minutes...after that treadmill for 10 minutes...and finally some abdomen exercise...my first day at the gym was over...not bad considering i was coming back after 2 years....

next 2 days were the toughest...it doesnt hurt first day...but really starts hurting the second day onwards...that day i realised...its never to difficult to start something or take the first step...its the second and the third steps that are toughest...i felt my whole body ache on next 2 days...but i still went to the gym...kept going back...the fourth day that was friday was the better...i had increased my times on the 3 machines....and was able to come out feeling better after one hour and 15 minutes of exercise....

friday evening went out with friends to a pub...was not much crowded though but that left the whole dance floor for us and we really had a great time...after gym, 2 hours of dance didnt feel like anything at all....came back 1:30 in the night...

saturday i had to attend a tech event by Sun...got up in the morning 7:30 in the morning, and some how manage to reach on time...there were series of sessions some were ok, but a few ones were good...had nice looking girls coordinating things around there...somehow i have lost that touch with girls i feel...had it been few years back i would have made contact...even got there no's and talked to them on phone by now...but i just could get to make the first move...one of them even tried to get something going but i was too tongue tied...i just shook my head thinking over it later...

dont know why i didnt make my move...havent done it lately...one has to be instinctive in these things and some how i feel i am loosing that instinct of striking a conversation from no where...

anyways...back to the gym on monday..this time it wasnt difficult but i am pushing myself harder...its getting better by each passing day and i am really enjoying it now...guess where i reached with the 3 machines...now i am doing 14 minutes of cycling, 12 minutes of cross trainer and 20 minutes of treadmill...i am able to burn around 250 kcal everyday....

hope i am to keep up the momentum...
