From RESOLUTIONS to ZEROLUTIONS ………

Last week I was going through all my old diaries which I’ve been writing for the last fu years (yes I belong to dose “diary writing” species ) n I noticed one thing which was common amongst all of ‘em …Every first page of my diary had ‘RESOLUTIONS’ made 4 that every new year [which become ZEROLUTIONS at the end of the year] …

How many of us really abide by the resolutions we make for the new year??... very few of us…In fact, we make plans and fail to practice ‘em and this plans which r penned with lot of zeal and commitment remain mere scraps of paper. I hav been making resolutions 4m last few years n yes I do follow them n they hardly last for a week or a fortnight . One of my resolutions which have been consistent all this years has been ‘losing weight’. In fact. I did it last year with lot of craving n crash diets for which I succeeded in loosing 6 kgs –an effort to look good on my cousin’s wedding day- which I succeeded . But to my disappointment it int take long time to pile up all that fat which I had lost instantly. Thanx to the munching of chocolates and my thankless job !!

Thomas Jefferson said “The sovereign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is the best.” Well said ….My constant endeavor for exercising n waking up in the morning have always failed. The tracks, sweat shirts and  the shoes which I shopped once in the hope that one day I would wake up n go jogging r still lying in the wardrobe and that ONE DAY has not yet arrived. This ‘one day’ has now become a shaggy dog story for my roomies and often the butt of jokes.

My first resolution for  2010 was to follow all other resolutions I made for the year. It’s February andas always my resolutions have remained abstract. I gave it a serious thought last week n made my mind to practice what I wrote. This time I thought of giving a hard try n how …..

I took out my tracks, teez n shoes n loaded my musicplayer with all the trance music I had .Finally all set to go for a walk ,I put an alarm of 6.30 am n slept off to glory .I woke up in the morning to find out that it was 8.15 am. Gosh ! late my ordinary days .I quickly took a shower and rushed to office. My plan for DaY 1 failed. But  NO , I’m not gonna quit,same thing followed for the next two days…Now I thought if not jogging why not try yoga at home..PLAN B - The yoga CD which I got once was now supposed to come out of my CD box, my alarm buzzed at around 6.30 am again which I put it on snooze.. I felt too lazy to put on the laptop to follow the instructions in the wee hours of morning...n I dozed off again. But I’m no quitter . I’m soon planning to join some aerobic classes . After a lot of dithering I’m still trying my best to manifest my dream of that ‘one day’ ….. this year I’ll not let my RESOLUTIONS don’t turn into ZEROLUTIONS. Wish me luck…..
