In Madonna’ Stilettos
According to me there is
a sharp resemblance between Madonna, the Diva and stilettos. Lets count. They both
are,
1. EDGY. As in always keeps you on the edge.
2.
SASSY. Full of life.
3.
CONFIDENT. Even if you are not confident
about yourself, the world will never come to know about it.
4.
TO THE POINT. We cannot mess around with either of it or else chances are we’ll
fall on our face.
Well,
all I want to say is EVEN YOU CAN WEAR STILETTOS and be confident about yourself
like a DIVA.
In the past one year, I have at least had two queries everyday either from friends or close acquaintances or
family members. And their query has been, ‘How have I managed to get back in
super shape after two kids?’ Time and again I've told them but yet time and
again they have come back to ask me the same thing. So I preferred writing it
down in the blog so that the next time someone asks me, I can direct them
straight to the blog. Ha ha!
Weighing 65 kilos and not
doing anything about it really was killing me. I wanted to wear all the lovely
dresses I saw hanging on the shop windows. It sucked checking out an XL size
kurti at the trial rooms. Worst, I couldn't think of trying anything else other than a Kurti because that was the only
saviour which hid my blown out butt. Of course I could wear a short top but I didn't want to be the center of jokes while walking down on the road. That was the time I thought of taking things
in my hand. Life is short and I’m young. Gotta do some wild things before I die!
I initiated with power
walks in the evenings that went on for a couple of months. It helped me shed 5
damn kilos. But then I was stuck at 60.
Nope! However more I walked, I couldn't bring it down beyond that. So then I thought
of working out at the gym. I told my instructor I want to look like Jennifer
Lopez. But he had a point. He told me that J.Lo’s body is more like that of a sportsperson
with well toned arms and legs. And was I sure I want to look like that? I corrected myself and switched to my second choice, my favourite Kareena Kapoor. A deal
between me and my trainer Vikram, an amazing human as well was struck and we
started off.
My workouts included cardio
training for 45 minutes that include walker, cross trainer, speed biking,
cycling and the tread mill. It ended with 300 abdomen crunches, vibrator and
yoga. I was instructed to take care of my diet. Actually that’s the main thing
in the whole weight losing game. CONTROL YOUR DIET. Believe it or not in 2
months flat, I was 53kgs from 60 kgs. I left gym due to some problems and hadn't worked out in the last one year. But if you believe me, I walked out of the gym
with 53 kgs and I still weigh the same! Reason? I control my diet.
So don’t forget to
control your diet wile not working out. my Breakfast includes milk, fruits,
oats. Then loads of salads by noon. By loads I mean literally loads. Cucumber, tomatoes,
carrot. Lunch is daal, fish, cooked vegetables with a cup of rice. At evening its
biscuits and tea and end the day with same as lunch only chucking the rice and adding a chapati. Easy?
You can cheat on your
diet for at least one day a week, I cheat fro three days.the weekend. But it
depends on your body type. As in how much you can allow yourself.
So the dream of flat abs,
toned up body let not just remain a dream. Go and do something about it like I did.
Some may choose to differ like I’m just fine the way I look and people who
loves me will do so no matter how I look. Well, for them I choose to differ as
well. I think they are too lazy, sadistic people who have given up on good
things in life. I can’t be one of them and if YOU want to BE like ME, YOU can’t
be one of THEM.
So girls and even boys all
the best. Wear those stilettos and the dresses you always wanted to wear. Don’t
shy away.
Much love, Ishani
