You can be as fit as you want to be!
It's your brain that is keeping you from being
in the best shape of your life and NOT your body.
- Christina Buzby
This is for everyone who asks me to write about fitness. I think this topic is never going to leave my life. It is almost like I am married to it now. And it is not a good marriage 'coz I am putting in all the sweat and effort, literally! Jokes aside, it take a lot of discipline and determination for me even today, after 5 years to stay fit and make healthy choices. While at the grocery store, it seems to me like every single cake and all the chocolates and ice creams are shouting out to me. It takes every ounce of will power within me to turn away from them. BUT I do not win this battle every day. There are times when I end up eating more than the 'appropriate' portion or sleep really late or skip breakfast or worse - I do it ALL ... and regret it later. Slipping away once from the goals is a mistake, slipping twice is human, but the third time is pure SUICIDE! The ONLY solution I have for my problem is to workout.
When I am at the gym, I mean business. I do not socialize, I do not watch television. I do not stroll on the treadmill flipping through magazines. I go in, do my workout and get home as soon as possible. I run a tight shift here, and on working days I do not have a second to spare!
Find me on Facebook.
I know how you feel while turning away from all those goodies....you should always applaud yourself every time you do so! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd every time I see your gorgeous boots...I just wish I could wear stuff like these in India......but then, hard luck! So, am just content by LOOKING at them on your feet!! :))
Happy 9th by the way....bring on the tenner!!!
I completely agree with the quote! So true!! I am going to keep reminding myself of this as well...and I love these boots as well...hv been wanting to get flat boots for a while, totally happening when I am near the shops next!

Tanvi-Ok how many pairs of shoes/boots do you have?? ha ha love these outfits posts...so fun and carefree. I too am obsessed with working out and fitness. I am back full swing with running. In fact going for a run in a bit :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Tanvi.
love the idea of watching something motivating!
ReplyDeleteI understand the struggle but good health is worth fighting for, especially as we get older.
ReplyDeleteIn youth, being fit helps us look better; later on, it helps us stay healthy and live longer.
Those videos sure are motivational! Keep it up Tanvi..Waiting for your tenth outfit :)
ReplyDeletei really like your banner!

I agree, it IS your brain that tells you how fit you are. A friend and I were just having the same conversation last night.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright pop of color the necklace adds to this ensemble!
im gonna be so married to the treadmill.. MONDAY SE
ReplyDelete;)
I work out every week but not as much as I should! I think you are I'm great shape. I love that necklace and those boots. Doing great on to day 10;). Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAwesome quote and i need to exercise more often:-(. Love the western inspired outfit-those boots are super cool! Have an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat motivation! Ugh and I just finished eating my way through an international luncheon at work. I better hit the gym soon!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, honey. Oh and love the outfit! Fab vest :)
Gosh that necklace is so pretty. I love how it picks up the pink from the boots and makes the whole outfit come together. I can't wear big necklaces without being a little uncomfortable, need to work on that!
ReplyDeleteAs for working out, I realized one thing - you never feel bad/gross or like you wasted time if you work out, but if you don't you pretty much feel all those things! It's an easy choice :P
You're so disciplined Tanvi! I'm finding it hard to do the fitness these days... Lovely outfit, too.
ReplyDeleteMy sister in law has gone through quite struggle with weight loss. I understand what you are going through. :)
ReplyDeletea sucessful struggle
ReplyDeleteThe first two pics are soo cute..you look like a really excited kid!! Being in shape is a continuous battle..sometimes you win, sometimes you lose..the important part is that you keep fighting..and you do a really good job with that :)
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah... I haven't worked in a LONG time. I need to find a gym!

Love the outfit! and I wish I had the motivation to go to the gym whenever I slip on my healthy living...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Shibiker's comment.Deciplined life style is both healthy n wealthy.
ReplyDeleteAs we say Precaution is better than cure.
You are beautifull dear.Ashish has done Master in PHOTOGRAPHY!!Amazing shots!
I really wish I had your will power and motivation. It makes you such a stong person. I'm really considering starting doing joging when I get back to London and to start swimming when I'm here. I'm sooooooooo lazy though.
ReplyDeletecute outfit! love the pop of the necklace :) xx
ReplyDeleteI love that necklace!! So pretty. I love your motivation too...sigh.

After our talk, I realize I need to get dedicated about setting up a workout schedule..but until then, your 'quality of food' versus 'quantity of food' emphasis has made me drinking carrot and corriander soup, gulping green tea and eating boiled chicken sandwich! Like the vest and hairdo.
