The balancing Act

I have been trying my hand at the "Ball Exercises ", may I say, it's not easy and fun as a normal ball would seem. I got it out of enthusiasm and imagining it to be a easy peasy workout, but alas! It's something that requires

1. Balance
2. Strength in your legs for holding on.
3. Maintaining the posture with all body muscles
4. Flexibility

I confess, i fell a couple of times , trying this one, and it's not funny, but it does amuse my son, who bursts out into a laughter. Hmm..But I triumphed on the novice workout category....soon I shall incorporate more acrobatically challenging routines( *Fingers crossed*)

I am still a body In Progress

So Instagram was down for 2 days...It was a total bummer, ever since i discovered blogging, and being an expat, the only regular social fun I have are the Instagram,facebook,blogging etc. Had I been in India ,I doubt whether I would have been into blogging at all. Coz the people I visit and vice-versa were more, and I would have hardly had the time to take photos,edit,rant/essay about stuff etc. None of my real friends blog,except for an acquaintance who is a genius journalist.
                   The climate is gradually changing , and I am loving it, the sun starts setting by 4.30 evening, and it's cool over here in Dubai. I had the mood today, to try and wear full black. Black and white happens to be my favorite colours. I have too many blacks...during my FAT phases ( haaah......the illusion of BLACK), thought I know white is a BIG no no when plump , somehow I wear it...because of it's sheer elegance. I have been working out regular and dieting ( read eating right and in proportions).And though the work is in "Progress" , I love the slow transformation. I am steadily getting there. I have already lost 10 pounds,and I look forward to losing more.
         Certain blogs are a good read, they motivate me in many ways, and blogs that motivate us to stay fit are just my regular reads. You see I believe , just like the importance we give to dresses, the same should be given to our best ---Our rewarding bodies. It transforms us to a better individual. I can't emphasize how much of a great life change it is. Make it happen. Here are some pointers to get you started.

1. Join Pinterest- lot's of motivational quotes and bodies, to ogle at.
2. Read articles(rather blogs) of real people who sweat it out. (BikiniBodyMommy)
3. Watch transformation videos on Youtube.
4. Go through your past pictures, where you might have been perfect,but have sulken to an Indian image of plump,Tv watching couch potato.Housewives or working wives...come on you are meant to be sexy all time,you can be Hot like before.
5. Collect some dance tunes, start slow, "Something is better than nothing"
6. Initial stages are the hardest,and everybody gives up with 2 weeks or a month, but pursue,those ads that say results in few days or a month are just a fad.Real results start to be shown slowly.....(Read SLOWLY..Yesss)  after 3 months of regular workout atleast.
7. Have realistic expectations, and you are on your way to a better health,actually a New  beautiful YOU

I am sure many bloggers reading my blogs, can relate to the idea,that having a good body is the best outfit one can ever possess, when you look good naked..even a rag is gonna look good on you. Work hard and look best.Life is short and working out is an investment that gives returns in abundance, and it's free....Bring it on lovely people. :)

Fitness is a very serious thing.The old trends of fitness being just for people into sports/body building/professions that require them to be in a certain way is a passe, nowadays I see every person trying to be fit. It has lot of benefits, my post is not going to be on it's benefits..you can google it up. I have been into regular workout, for past 2 months, and though my journey is towards an athletic ME, I do wanna have it as a lifestyle, for I found few many benefits,that seem to stem along( I love them)

1.  My little son wants to be fit, and does little workout himself (though he's skinny..I encourage)
2.  I have more energy to do do my activities given the same 12 hr day.
3. The best......My luuuurve for Le Clothes.... (yesssss!!!!)
4. .Less sick/lethargic days.

Though I am just only on 5 % on my journey , I love the disappearing small flab's, and it's a WONDERFUL feeling to be energetic.
I have changed my lifestyle in general, along with my hubby who also jumped right in ( he was a fitness freak right from childhood,but not for past few years...IT LIFE....Maaaan!!!!! ). Edited my food plans, and every day is a new challenge for me, I love to work it up.It's pretty empowering that way. And since I am progressively making it a lifestyle change, I don't want to loathe the idea of working out even after attaining my goal.
I have another blog which I update seldom on certain moods ( will do more, as I gain more energy prioritizing tasks ),to help me unite with people who share similar thoughts on fitness.
So today I hopped along my way to purchasing  some stuff for my fitness (A ball and some weights) I got my outfit clicked, and I wore it sporty casual, coz I had to workout right after coming back..but but but guess what !!!! ( I ended up shopping for a shoe..bcoz of an ongoing sale....hmmmm...a post about fitness and here I am showcasing my temptations....Us Girls......remain ....girls : p )

The t-shirt is an ombre tee with the pink on the collars and fades to a white , but the night mode pic disabled the colours, rendering it white.The blurriness is evident in more than 1 pic, but i just uploaded them anyways.I have a bareface with just lipgloss on.
