Getting fit, week two

This week has been totally slaughtering! In fact so much happened this week that it seems like a month already. Allow me to elaborate. By 'so much happened' I mean-

• 1. Me binging (I'm honestly very ashamed!! But what could I have done? It was my boss's party...there were amazing kababs, breezers and dancing ...a lethal combination really)
• 2. Me getting caught red handed by my (strict) nutritionist (what I thought was a home video of the party was actually a sting operation in progress!)
• 3. And Edgar making me pay for all the sins I committed at the party.

Yeah! Hectic, no? Crazy is more like it. You know sometimes you don't realize how certain seemingly simple things can become mission impossibles. Like who would think running on the street...the thing you'd done a zillion times as a kid, could become this gargantuan, unachievable, impossible task! I mean Edgar was literally pushing me...no no...I mean actually physically pushing me, coz my feet were just refusing to take me any further.

And it was so embarrassing...all the other people in the class were like flowing with the breeze...they were sprinting...hopping you know...making it look like, it's all so easy! And worst of all...while I'm wiping my sweat and swallowing my tears and running like a drunk maniac (difficult to run straight when you're about to collapse) my camera person is happily following me around on a rickshaw.

I mean that's just not fair! And when you're doing backbreaking workouts, you just have pity on yourself and pledge to eat right. At least that's what I did this week. Plus I was so scared of Ritika, after all this was my weighing week! So I did everything right food wise...healthy breakfasts of oats and fruit and cooked all my meals with very little olive oil. I even followed the don'ts- No juices (they're empty calories) No rice, no bananas, no big dinners...you get it!

And then came the moment!! Time to step on to the scales...time to see if all the pain was worth it or not? And as I stood there, holding on to my heart...Ritika who'd bent down to look at the scales, looked up and said..."you've lost two kgs!"

"Trumpets sound and angels sing" ...this is an amazing feeling! The first two kgs!! You know, since I'm on this project now...I might lose more weight (what am I saying?? I have got to lose more weight!) but these two kgs will always be most special to me. These two kgs are a proof that it's possible!! I can do it...after so many years of trying everything under the sun (yes even the stupid slim belts), starving myself, gymming and not being able to lose even half a kg...this feeling is special! You 2 kgs...Ihated you as long as you were with me...but I love you for letting go!

And now I'm getting ready for my third week of kick boxing...looking forward to it actually. Edgar says it's going to get much more interesting from here...you are all clued it right??

PS: send me updates on what's been happening with you. Is anyone losing any weight?? Send me pictures; we'll put it up on the blog and I'll read your letters on the show. C'mon people we're doing this together...right? :)
