Day 0.x

Interestingly this new OS, Linux Ubuntu is yet not disappointing. It jus keeps pleasing me as I keep diggin in. Well thats true for pretty much everything in life isn't it? Jus that a mug like me is jus too lazy to get on with the dig. Funny, I am listening to this track 'Lonely Bridgewater' and it says hold on. Yes hold on, onto what I dunno..but!never mind.

Anyways, yeah wasnt the day1 it was supposed to be today cuz I, as usual, over-slept, missed the first day of workout and ended up late to work. But I am still chilling out. As palan, todays therez no load on me. He is my roomie. Work was good. Did all that I was supposed to do, didn leave anything for later. Dad always told me not to leave anything for later, get it done. Always thought it was gyan. But now I know that too. Wish I could replay all the gyan he offered. Would have been nice. The trouble is that parents/ teachers/ elders in general (mostly) share their wisdom in this preaching kinda way. That makes it boring, sometimes beyond.

Anyways, my conviction is building up alright. You gotta look at their faces when I tell them I am looking at 8% body fat. You know that look.. 'WHAT!!' Anurag gave me that look, so did the girl at VLCC when I went for my BCA test. Yeah, Shuchi thought I am being flirtatious with her but I really wasn't. She is my ex-roomies girl. I can actually charm given the right mindset. What the heck, when you are in shape you can always have the right mindset. A good shape gives you that confidence. The funny thing playing in the back of your mind that you are looking funny doesn't bother you anymore.

'When I mentioned about Dynamic Nutrition and Workout plan (my mistake, I should have explained to you then only) I meant a plan which keeps on changing at some regular intervals according to the short term goals which we'll set for you.

So as per the results we are hoping to achieve I will tweak the diet and workout intensity. Entire idea is to add the element of surprise for your body so that you are not getting comfortable with any particular schedule and stop responding to it.

In a nutshell, we will make small improvements and celebrate them too.

' excepts from my trainer's last mail.

Ok. In a nutshell that sounds 'trouble'.
So I sleep today with another promise to wake up early tomorrow. And the promise will be fulfilled for sure, soon.

Day0 continued

1^st Feb, 2010

11.58 P.M.

Its amazing how a sales pitch can ruin it up for you.

I was having this crazy day at work when my phone rings, the other one. Well I have 2 cellphones, one is supposed to be personal and the other one non-personal. Just that which one is what I still don't know. Anyways, I get this call and I pick it up. On the other side is this amazing voice of a woman who greets me with a smile. I could figure it out. She asks me my name and stuff. Q&A session happened for some more time when finally she reveals that she is from the gym I had gone to with an enquiry for their membership. I thought probably this was a follow-up call. I said ok, will get the membership done within a day or two. But she kept insisting. In the end I got sooo fed up with the desperation of the pitch, when she said if I dont get the membership by 31^st Jan, I may no longer enjoy the offer I was made, I hung up. Sales pitch up the ashes.

Today I went to the same gym, got my membership started and at an even better offer.

Kale sent me a mail. He is doing some number crunching of his own with the BCA test results I had sent. He would get back to me by tomorrow or day after with a proper plan of action. He is going to suggest me a proper diet, suppliments, various sources of nutrition etc. But this is going to happen after sometime. As of now, all I know is that he wants to burn most of the fat I got on me.

“As seen in the results your body fat percentage is around 22%. To get a good chiseled look our target in the first session will be to cut down your body fat to around 8-10%. Below it would be not suggested.

After we have reached to the targeted body fat levels we will then focus on pure muscle building and keeping fat off.” excerpts from my trainer's mail.

Below it would not be suggested?What do you mean by 'below it'? Getting there in the first place looks enormous to me! You are talking about loosing 10 KGS!!..how?

Well I do as you say brother. You are afterall my personal trainer.

Now the bigger question is will I wake up tomottow morning on time for my Day1. Today I was late to wake up, as usual. But I have to get up early. I dont have a proper pair of sneakers, dont have a decent enough tracks, I look funny when I wear a t-shirt these days and on top of it all I really dont know where to start from when I actually hit the gym. Tomorrow too is gonna be tough. But then shaping up begins on Day1 and thats how it is going to be. I will shape my life with the habit of waking up early in the morning.

Now lets c how that goes.

Day0

Hi,

You can call me Kite. Infact, I'd rather prefer being called Kite. Its not my real name (..duuh) but I kinda like the idea, you know how a kite is synonymous with a you holding onto something with a simple thread of belief and trying to make it happen. I am trying to make something happen too. I am trying to get in 'shape', literally; and otherwise.

Shaping up begins from tomorrow. I am supposed to wake up early in the morning (which happens to be my life's Achilles heel), go to the gym on the west side of the city (I live in the east), get the membership (Credit card or Debit Card?) and initiate the process (before proceeding to my office). I actually feel that all this is highly unlikely for a given days work. But!..I am going to give it a try.

I seriously think all this will happen at the cost of being to work late.

I am going to set a time frame to get this thing done. No really, I figured that if I take it as an assignment the chances of being there are much higher. Specially for a person like me. I have this nasty habit of leaving everything half-way. So I will have to set targets against a stipulated time-frame and then give it my best shot.

As of now my status stands at as mentioned below:

Height: 169 cm
Weight: 75.3 kg
BMI: 26.4
BMR: 7369 Kcal
Impedence: 500 ohm
FAT%- 21.8%
FAT Mass- 16.4 kg
FFM- 58.9 kg
TBW- 43.1 Kg

Desirable Range
FAT%: 8-20%
Fat Mass: 5.1- 14.7 K

Target BF% is: 20%
Predicted Weight: 73.6 kg
Predicted fat mass: 14.7 kg
FAT TO LOSE: 1.7 kg

Take all this for now, I gt a skype call from one of my gang members aftr ages..so cant really blog...i gotta goooo

Talk to u tomorrow
