Lately I have had to try wayyyy much 'harder' to get my a$$ to the gym. It could be the lack of motivation, or working hours coming in the way, or may be God is being her usual 'difficult' self! So I have decided to make a LONG list of reasons why I like to workout to motivate myself.

ReplyDeleteam conducting a project called cinch waist on my blog so i can lose weight in 2 months...and though i feel good when i exercise i feel better when i eat...:)
so am working on that
take care
8. I'm hot. Not just temp wise. Mind, body and soul wise.
ReplyDelete9. I have the sexiest shoulders in the blogosphere
10. I'm Fabulous. Fullstop.
...I LOVE this photo!!!!!!! Even when you're doing a warrior snarly face you look damn sexy!!
[I know a lot about warrior snarly faces, I have many of me in combat, I just look constipated!!!!]
Another point:
ReplyDelete-I can eat whatever I want when I work out regularly. :) (Incase you are a foodie like me which I think you are!)
I love Quesadilla's. They're delicious.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to work out is that it can also be fun...
I've been having a difficult time trying to motivate myself too! By some miracle I seem to have lost weight in London (not that the scales tell me so, but I feel different and my clothes are fitting better) and I reallyreallyreally don't want to put it all back on now that I'm back home. So I'm going to have to try harder to motivate myself as well! Good luck Tanvi!

I like to workout because I don't feel so GUILTY when I indulge in all things Sugar
ReplyDeleteI like to workout because it's the only form of Pain which is a Gain (by you not gaining)
I like to workout because when I do end up losing that weight, people load me with compliments which makes my heart grin
Haha..coming from someone who doesn't workout, how did I do?
I make a similiar veggie version using Quorn instead of chicken, yum! Do you get Quorn in the States?
ReplyDeleteMmmmm.....thinking about your 8,9 and 10. I think you've covered all the bases admirably there. xxx

8. The conditioner that my gym provides is awesome. So my hair is shinier and silkier than before. :P
ReplyDelete9. There is this super cute guy who plays basketball when I go for a swim.
10. I end up meeting new people and new friendships are formed. (Yes, I am talking about you swimming lady, You are the best. You have the greatest tips to give me about how I am not supposed to drink the pool water and the fact that you like my pretty colored swimsuit)
So yeah, these are absolutely true reasons why I love to go to the gym. Every single day.
P.S> The cute guy on the basketball court are on rotation every other week. So there are actually a ton of super cute guys in my gym. :D
Wow, you seriously looked like you can kick some ass:)

I feel cheerful after I come out of gym though I have missed it for months due to an injury. You inspired me and I will resume very soon.
ReplyDeleteVery good pictures.
Great post! I need to get my butt to the gym asap. I've barely gone since starting my job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a motivating list !!!
ReplyDeleteI feel more graceful; look longer and leaner, and of course way calmer after yoga.
I'm heading to the gym now! I'd add 9. I put my body in a better state long-term
ReplyDelete10. The feeling of accomplishment lasts beyond exiting the gym and resurfaces when I like what I see in the mirror!
WOW! The Quesadillas look mouthwatering!
