It was mentally exhausting, and frankly, I felt like what was even the point of making any effort. The overall result of my half-hearted efforts was that I would lose a couple of kilos and gain them back again. Being at home all the time, with ready access to the kitchen, I found myself grazing almost constantly. I started out with doing some home workouts, and I tried going for an evening walk as much as possible, but looking back now, I know I wasn’t really applying myself. This is NOT the part where I tell you that I’ve miraculously lost 20 pounds over the last few months, because I haven’t.
I desperately wanted to change my mindset, my body, and suddenly blessed with a few extra hours a day, I decided to give my body the attention and care that it deserves. Not physically, not mentally, not emotionally. When lock down season rolled around in mid-March here in India, I was at my heaviest ever. It’s not like I’ve never tried to do shit about it but like with so many other things in my life, consistently maintaining good eating habits and an exercise routine (which I last talked about here) was something that I’ve failed miserably with. I didn’t need doctors or anyone else to tell me that (which they did, by the way), I already knew.
Sensitive topic or not, I’ve always known that this kind of weight gain was not doing my health any wonders. Let’s just say that as the scale has kept inching up and up and up, my sensitivity has increased in pretty much the same proportion. My weight has been a touchy topic for me for many, many years now. Yes, this is a review of the Chloe Ting 2 Week Shred challenge, but in true Shirsha-fashion, you will have to listen to me ramble on with the backstory for a bit.
