Fitness: 4th April 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I have had bouts of less than good health in the past week, but I still managed to go out for my walks. Surprisingly, I have fallen ill in the past three months so many times that I probably would be trumping the last year for the records. 😊 Anyway, the good part is that I am still going out, and the silver lining of the ill-health was an incredible weight loss. I count that as a blessing even though…

Fitness: 5th April 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I got up a bit late and was almost going to give in to the lazy feeling but somehow prevailed. I got up, got dressed, and left for my walk. I got up a bit late, so I was second-guessing if to go out or not. Thankfully, better sense prevailed. The morning, though a bit warmer, was still a good one. I get the feeling that the monsoons will be arriving earlier than estimated. That's a good thing as the…

Negative Thoughts That Just Won’t Go Away | Why and What Can Be Done? Thoughts, Persistence, and Habits Most "positive thinking" practitioners would know that our thoughts lead to things. A thought held on with persistence soon becomes our belief. Our belief then controls our life. That last part is a good as well as a not-so-good thing. Why? Because if we picked up the wrong thought from our environment, then our continued focus on it would have turned it into a belief we…

Fitness: 6th April 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I've got to admit that my daughter has been getting up before me over the past few days, and I wake up because of her. That's incredible but I never thought she would be up before me in the mornings. 😊 Today was a rush morning. I had to go out for a run and be back in time to drop my wife at her class and then finish a few chores before picking her back up. It was a tremendous rush. I loved it. How…

Fitness: 7th April 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I was back to my early morning schedule today and therefore got more time for my run. I am not sure what that feeling is all about, but I would rather do my run in the dark than in the sunlight. In that sense, it was an excellent start to the day while it was still dark. It was a surprise morning as it had turned cooler than the average temperature. That was unexpected during the summer month. I was…

Fitness: 8th April 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Yesterday, after my seven-kilometer run, I was feeling tired a lot. I mentioned that in my article yesterday, and could be many reasons from me just recovering from ill-health or the fact that it has got a lot warmer in the morning. Either way, I wanted to try it out again today to check if the tiredness was one-off or recurring. To eliminate options, I drank a lot of water before going for the run.…

Fitness: 9th April 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** It was another morning where I could get up early enough to get in for a run before the sunrise. 😊 I keep thinking if I would instead go out in the night for the run, but then the vehicle traffic would be too much for me to have a peaceful run. Late-night? Not sure. I wouldn't be game for it right now. Maybe in the future. Now that I am sticking to my early morning run schedule, I got to make it as…

Fitness: 13th April 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** After a few days of walking today, I went for a run. I got up really early. It was 3 a.m., I am sure. I used the time for a few meditation sessions and some journaling, and then I was ready for the run at 5 a.m. The morning was pleasant and was good for a run. Maybe, I am getting used to the warmer weather, or it was indeed cooler today. My heel hurts a bit but is fine once I start running. The…

Fitness: 20th April 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** So, my fitness schedule continued through the Easter week and weekend. I got a few long runs but mostly walks. The right heel hurts a lot, but ironically, it feels better as I run — Dunno what to make of it. After a few days of walking, I decided to run today, which I did. The walking over the past few days helped the heel a lot. It was in much better shape as I took to running. Not only that, it was…

Fitness: 29th April 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I continued with my walks and runs throughout the past week, and I am happy. This makes it three months in a row that I stayed put with my fitness regime. Time for celebration, I guess!! 😊 Over the past few days, I was only walking and had this back of my mind feeling if I was maintaining my fitness. So, I checked my weight to uncover whether I was indeed holding. To my surprise, I had lost a…
