Healthy body and glowing skin


I watch a whole lot of Asian dramas primarily Korean. In almost all series, what I noticed was, the girls focusing a lot on skin care and weight. I used to be thin most of my life and in recent times I have put on weight. Inspired by what I watch, I wanted to focus on losing the gained weight. I have been using treadmill religiously for past 2 months. I have put a hold on strength training that I have been doing for 3 years because Of COVID 19. Looks like for my body type, cardio is more effective than strength training. I try to focus on diet and then I lose momentum. I don’t do anything special for my skin care. So, here’s my four part plan 1) Cardio for at least an hour 2) Watch what I eat 3) Hydrate 4) Skincare routine Let us see whether I reach my objective. I should stick to this at least until we go back to the office. I want it to become a habit. Wish me luck!!!!!!!

Routine - comfortable but not fulfilling


There was a time when I thought the word “routine” as very plain and undesirable. Now day in and day out, my life has this routine. I always thought life would be nice colorful. But I realized that I am stuck in gray tones. It is not black because I have children in my life but I do not want their presence to define me. As I existed before my children were born. If I lean on them to bring color in my life, then my future would be definitely black. So need to think what will bring color back in my life. Probably should start wearing lipsticks more. Or probably have chameleon as a pet. Routine is most definitely boring but oddly has a false image of comfort. It feels safe to stick with routine but heart,s desire is not fulfilled. Not sure what it is longing for - something more towards life - something purposeful. I feel less keen to face the daily battles and struggles. I wish my overactive brain can take some rest. Tired.
