We always talk about good health, but how many of us are actually healthy? Believe me the answer to this question will surprise you. You and people around you might appear “pink in health” but the reality will leave you stunned. We all are so busy with our chores that we never have time to actually see how hollow and lifeless are the eyes surrounding us.
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” – a famous saying I heard when I was a kid….. It stands true even now. We all are trapped in our own worlds – “offices”. All we do is work – project, deadline, reviews, reports, client calls, delivery, etc. etc and the list goes on and on and on. Handling like 2-4 projects at the same time, multi-tasking, multi-dimensional work, muti-disciplinary work is the need of the hour. 24 hrs do not suffice the amount of work we have to finish in a day. Now with so much work, who has the time to play? But we have time to pop pills, go to hospitals, pay heavy bills and feel good that everything can be taken care of. Hah!!! You must be kidding me.
And if you happen to be lucky enough to get hold of a disorder at an early stage, you will go crazy thinking how you are not healthy? Then you act like a fool - counting calories every time you eat, weighing every time you come across a weighing machine, thinking like 10 million times about what to eat and what to avoid, a complete switch-over to fruits, salads and boiled food, less salt, no sugar, no soda, going vegetarian, cutting down on carbs (can’t believe I even stopped eating rice :( ), dieting (even if I don’t believe in it), cutting down on almost everything you love eating, I tried everything n believe me nothing works. Instead, you feel cranky, crazy and depressed.
With the physical activity graph going down, I finally decided to do something about it. Out of all the options possible, I found “gymming” a better option to stay fit. I hate being restricted in a cubicle but once you have a good kick-start in the morning, you feel energetic the whole day. And once you go for it, you will find yourself trapped in a viscous circle because you won’t feel like giving it up. I joined the gym for just 3 months to check whether I will b able to manage office, gym and cooking…. And I’m surprised, I can do all :).
But now, gymming has become a vital part of my routine, may be adrenaline is responsible for this healthy and happy look. I don’t feel like skipping the gym even for a day, it keeps me active. I follow no strict diet only exercise and believe me I feel so good. I have not given up anything, just made some minor changes in my routine. To start with, I included more salads, fruits, proteins. I eat whatever I want and burn equivalent calories. I guess I’m still carrying the IIT attitude here, “work hard n party harder” same thing goes for my gym.
Healthy food and a healthy living are on my high priority list, what about you?
