Day One! THE D-Day. The day that was going to see me finally break the chains of procrastination was finally here; or was it?
Maybe I'd psyched myself, maybe I was eager, or maybe it was just one of those lucky breaks that all of us need every once in a while but somehow, my internal alarm clock woke me up before my alarm (set for 6:40 AM) could go off. I checked the time- 6:24- and rolled over. About five minutes later, I reset the alarm for 6:50 AM. Somehow, I managed to drag myself out of the bed at 6:50. I'd gotten my "walking" clothes the night before. Still, it took me around 20-25 minutes to get out of home. Earphones in place, I walked to a park in the neighbourhood. The park has a nice walking track. I bought an entry ticket for Rs. 2 (around 1/30th of a USD) and kept walking. I walked for around 40 minutes in the park and then headed home. It'd taken me roughly ten minutes to reach the park (from home) and I figured it would take another ten minutes to reach back home. I covered 6.35 km in one hour and three minutes. My average time came to around 10.03 minutes per kilometer. During the course of the walk, I jogged (a very gentle jog) for around half a kilometer. Each jog was around 250 meters. The rest of the time I walked.
After I reached home, I did ten push ups and twenty squats. I plan to increase the number of push ups by one every two days and the number of squats by two every two days. If everything goes according to plan, I will be doing twenty-five push ups and fifty squats by September 18th. Let's see.
I plan to take up a cleansing one day water fast some time this week. I'll share my experience then.
P.S: I am a bit sore but nothing that would hamper my work. Adios!
