Exercising isn’t actually that hard!!

I am a person who has no interest or no clue about exercising or anything related to sports. From my childhood, I was this nerd, unable to fit in, but trying hard to fit in kind of girl. I am neither athletic nor have any interest in any sort of physical activity. The only encounter I ever had with sports was in my year 7, when I participated in slow cycling and won 2nd. That isn’t much of an athletic activity, so to say. Uday isn’t very athletic too, but he sort of had an early midlife crisis couple of years ago and started gyming. He wasn’t regular or anything like that, but he definitely showed improvement. Being food addicts, to stay in shape is too hard. I started my first pregnancy at 55 kgs, went to 69 at my last month. But for karthi, I started at 72 kgs and went up to 90. I went on a raw vegan diet, not too strict, but I lost a lot and was 62 before my India trip for my brother in-laws wedding. Then never followed it and was back to 73 kgs last month. I was totally out of shape and I didn’t fit into any of my sarees blouses. Though I love to dress up in rare occasions we have to wear a saree, I was just unable too. So just a month ago, I started a bit of clean eating and started exercising at home. Just started with Leslie’s walk at home which was suggested in one of the facebook groups. And then started Lucys HIIT exercise. It’s been a month and I have to be honest, I am loving it. I didn’t see any change in my weight or didn’t have any inch loss, though I feel a bit light. The other day when we walked to mayas school, karthi wanted me to carry and to avoid it, I showed him a puppy far away. He wanted to run so he can see the puppy up and close. I ran behind him and I was totally fine. Just to realise that a month ago, I was panting-out-of-breath even to walk and I am able to run for a short distance without panting, I now know that though it doesn’t show much in the dress size or the weighing scale, there is definitely a good change happening in me. Uday was making fun of my home exercises, but he now supports and admires it. I am confident that I will be consistent and I will definitely get into that shape. It is not about weighing scale or dress size, it is more about fitting into my favourite saree blouses for me
