Gym-dandy!

One of the perks of my new job..(oh I’ve started working the ol’ 9 to 5 again…though this one’s more of a 10ish to about 7ish sort o thingy...) is that I get to use the office gym…fabulous mirrored facility with some 25 treadmills, exercise cycles and other lurid machines of torture. But they also have a Jacuzzi and a steam and sauna rig that I’m kinda looking forward to testing. So I’ve resumed my so-called efforts to lose weight by attempting to start cashing in on this particular perk. And what a start it was! Got to the gym at about 9.25 on Tuesday morning ..stood around for about 10 minutes debating on which machine to get started on….suddenly remembered that I had a meeting at 10 and ran to the showers. Then, at about 11ish, went down to the cafeteria and treated myself to a cheese and cucumber sandwich (..see mom! I’m eating my veggies!!) as a little self back patting for actually making it to the gym! Baby steps I always say! I’ve been decidedly better since... thank god! The last two days I’ve managed to get in an hour’s workout (40 mins of cardio and another 20 mins of crunching, grunting and other anonymous anomalies) ..pretty decent for a lazy sack of potatoes like me! Hopefully the results will start to show before I make it back to good ol’ B’bay again!

Which brings me to my forth-coming visit to B’bay! I’m going to be in town for the weekend starting on the 9th. It’s Suni’s b’day on the 9th followed by my Dad’s on the 11th. Wish I could have gone a day earlier for Ritz’s b’day as well on the 8th but I guess work does not permit such extravagances. siiiiigh!! But at least I’ll get to meet her over the weekend! And then maybe the weekend after that Ganesh and Chitz will maybe want to take a break from all the family and come to Delhi.. (Please guys ..try to make it here! I’m not going to be able to take time off again so soon but would really reaaalllllllly love to see you again and for the first time respectively!)

Also I finally finished my gigantic Sistine Chapel jigsaw. And without losing a single piece..(never happened before!) I’m so thrilled with it I’m actually getting it framed! It’s gorgeous!

Well that’s all for now folks! More updates when stuff happens…
