New Year’s Resolution

My New Year’s Resolution was quite simple – get back in shape. Well, I am very happy today that it is taken care of.

Taking care of loved ones who are very sick is a very difficult task. In the process, we often sacrifice ourselves to ensure their comfort. In my case, I did not have time to sleep, exercise and eat properly for couple of years. To ensure that my health does not go down hill anymore, I forced myself to rebuild my body from scratch.

It was no easy task even though I was very fit before. I have to start from the basics and increase the intensity in baby steps. The physical damages to my back due to helping my late girlfriend to her daily activities made it extremely difficult to exercise too. Thanks to the internet, I find ways to workaround the problem though.

At the same time, I also need to change my diet completely so that the effort with my exercise regime will be optimized.

After almost 4 months now, I am proud to say my back problem is mostly gone, dropped more than 15 pounds (that’s more than 10% of my weight) and I start to look more like my old physique.

To get back to my previous peak form which was quite extreme by any measure, I guess it will take many more months of hard work.

I have the confidence I will get that back.
