Getting Thin

Hi guys
Today i will write about one of the most important of turning points of my life. Things took time to change for me. Long since i remember i have been a chubby child. And believe me its tough being so, being the butt of every ones jokes for long just because you are different. I always wanted to shed those extra kilos from time immemorial but i never was in the disposition or the discipline to do so. All through out my graduation i have been what people term fat.
One day i made up my mind to lighten up. I have visited the gym lot many times but could never find the schedule right, so i started of exercising at home. I would jog do pushups and a lot many other exercises. I kept a strict control on my diet. Believe me i absolutely ate no junk food. With time i even decreased my food intake, but i kept up the exercise. I was 73 kgs when i started. One thing i didnt do was check out my weight reason being my f5ocus was never to loose weight but to be fit and in shape. Month after month went by One day i did check my weight it was 60 kgs. I never expected it to be so low it even went down to 58. People used to tell me that i have become too thin and even my parents i never believed them. I was doing amazingly well with my regime i was doing 30 pushups in a go and 6 to 7 pull ups. But one day and on many other occasions i felt drowsy and lack of energy. I realised that i need to eat properly gradually i increased my intake those days i used to devour 6 to 7 chapattis in a go. Now i a`m a`t a` rea`sonable 65 to 66 kgs. My regime is still on, i can do 40 push ups in first go 3o after that and 20 to sum it up i can do around 7 pull ups though i used to do 10 but with the increase in weight that has reduced.
All this i am writing after around one year. It took me an year to reach this stage. I still have to go far but i feel to be successful and have permanancy following is what is important.
  1. Exersise to be fit not loose weight. Dont watch the scales everyday.
  2. Dont overexercise. I do stomach exercises in the morning and later stomach and weight exercises in the evening a`ll totalling to around max 40 min.
  3. Eat every thing dont miss out on that cake or that chocolate but eat in moderation.
  4. Maintain your schedule but do take breaks now and then.
  5. Sleep well. Though i am poor in this part but it is necessary to sleep well.

In short enjoy food, exercise daily and be active. You may go through tons of expert advice but what i have told you is something that took me 24 years to write and 1 year of experimentation and after maintaining tough dicipline.

Take Care my friends and remember just keep at it and if you like Jonnie Walker 'Keep Walking'.
