Aimless rant
Warning: rather aimless, pointless, rant/whine post about nothing of any consequence, coming up. For about a week now, I’ve roamed around like a zombie. Not fully sure what I’m doing. Writing, yes, in...

‘Ssupdates: exercise-wise and otherwise
I currently have half a dozen incomplete drafts on my laptop, that I just cannot get myself to finish. Because my brain feels like its turning into a sieve and things I want to remember and post seem...

As the sun went down
Shthump.Shthump. Shthump. Shthump. With close and definite steps I picked up pace. The wind felt crisp in my face, and I felt my lungs expand, like they haven’t in months now. My calves were taut,...

High on life
Some days I thoughtlessly throw around the words. “Oh, I’m just high on life,” I say, shrugging away questions about an uncontrollable giggle outburst, a goofy grin that refuses to go away, or even a...

Confessions of an endorphin-junkie
Past experience has taught me, that feeling good on the outside has a lot to do with what’s going on on the inside. How healthy you are, how often you get an endorphin rush, how well your hormones are...

Random running rumination
A little over three months of running, and I’ve successfully run into some mild knee issues. A visit to an orthopedic doctor and a sports-therapist, some lessons in stretching and a 10-day break thanks...

The second coming
It’s always harder the second time around. Coming back for round two. The second kilometre. The second rep. The second day. The second round. The second time coming. And here I am on round two, stage...

Small victories
They’re all I seem to be hanging on to these days. Like making a near-perfect chicken biryani (I’m getting there, one step at a time). Like finishing at least one article in a week. Like putting my...

Updates from the dark side
Grab a chair. We need to talk. This is the longest I have been MIA and I feel like I need to blurt it all out. So much has been going on, but I have had no time to stop and put the million floating...

Dance, dance
I’ve developed a horrible habit in recent times. Mealtimes are incomplete without a 20 minute segment of mindless entertainment. And in the absence of a television in the home, I turn to downloaded...

Losing myself again
There’s this song I have been ODing on for over a month. Thanks to VC, who is otherwise the most uninterested-and-indifferent-to-music kind of person I know. So to see him shake his head from side to...

Confessions of an endorphin-junkie, part 2

If endorphins could speak
Have you every felt like you could fly? Like every cell in your body is suddenly buoyant with life, and every pore has opened itself out to suck in mouthfuls of air. To lift yourself up, levitate, take...

Of challenges old and new
There are days when I wake up and I want to do nothing more than turn around, curl up, drape my blanket over my head, and go right back to sleep. But I can’t. You see, the fitness bug has bitten me...

Manic dancing, a little trashy pop and a dedication
I realised its time to re-evaluate things, when I returned from an extra Zumba class, soaked to the bone in sweat, only to meet my neighbour who looked at me curiously. “Went swimming, is it?” she...

Kicking ass at kicking ass
In early April, I was forced to find an alternative of some sort when my instructor went away on holiday over summer. I could have just as well joined the gym, the regular gym that is, but after a...

Weighting and watching
It’s a special feeling when you pull out a skirt you from a forgotten corner you tucked it into aeons ago, convinced it would be ages before you fit into it again. You try it on, shaky hands, wondering...

#thingsIneverimaginedIwoulddo
I have this hashtag going on Instagram, and I realised today that it has a fair number of pictures stacked up. Small packages of surprising things things I really never even imagined would come my way....

It’s been one of those disappointing FB days. I happened to eavesdrop (on the FB sense of the word anyway — the conversation popped up on my feed because a friend was actively commenting on the thread)...

Confessions of an endorphin junkie, part 3
I’ve been attacked by starting trouble for the most part of this week. I know it’s just Wednesday, but dragging my feet to the gym is not something have dealt with too often. I don’t like it, it’s very...
