Health First

If you want to bring some positive changes to your life then you should always start with health.

With all the online activities, learning and reading new things I have acquired all the wrong habits regarding health. Mainly what I am doing wrong is I am sleeping late and sometime I even sleep after the morning sun has started shining. That making me rise late and that in turn making me skip breakfast and directly having lunch. So the gap between dinner and my next meal is about 15 t0 16 hours and that’s very bad for the health. This habit was making me feel tired all day.

I was rarely doing my regular exercises and also doing only desk job is not helping me with getting physical activity that in return making my body weaker everyday.

When I thought of changing my habits I thought of joining gym but as I suffer from chronic backache since my college days I thought I should first check whether my body is able to handle the stress of heavy exercising. I downloaded few apps on my phone with some daily exercises one can do without any gym equipment. I am doing 10-12 different kind of exercises for last 8 days regularly. It was very difficult in the beginning to do all those sit ups and crunches and I thought it will take a long time for my body to get use to it but I am getting surprised everyday that how quickly my body is adapting to all these exercises and now I am already thinking about either adding more exercises or increasing the number of sit ups and crunches.

Doing all the internet marketing things has taught me whatever I do I should track as much as I can. So I purchased this Xiaomi Mi band which tracks my daily steps taken and also my sleep pattern. Its not perfect but at least its giving me something to categorise my daily activities. What I have tracked till now is telling me if I continue with all those bad habits I have acquired my body is soon going to be screwed.

What I have in mind now is One, I have to change my diet both in terms of timing and quality. An app I have downloaded says I am already taking less calories than the required, still my weight is above average so I need to change the quality of food I am eating. I am taking too much carbohydrates and very less proteins. That need to be fixed.  Secondly, I need to gain enough muscle strength quickly so I can join the gym and start with some exercise routine.

Lets see how things folds. Will update soon.
