Normally a lazy person, with zillions of excuses to avoid even a little effort, I have accumulated hell lot of fat. I perhaps do everything that can add to a little more fat, for example my sitting posture at this very moment when I am writing this. But then, some times, I get enough enthusiasm to get my shoes on and go to ground just in front of my dorm.
Yes, the ground is just in front of my dorm. Even then, most of the times, my laziness keeps me away from it. But, one in a while, I will put my shoes on and go for running. I am calling it roller coaster ride of enthusiasm because I am very lazy, but that doesn't stop sudden peak in enthusiasm for short spans of time.
Today, like few other days, I went to run. I vaguely remembered different kinds of warm up exercises taught during my stay at residential school and at NSO, physical education, during undergrad. Tried to warm up, don't know if I was making plain fun out of me. Started running, full enthusiasm, one round, and then I started thinking... "Why the hell am I running, what good can it bring? I certainly can't become slim because that will require a U-turn in lifestyle and I do not think I would like to think of those many changes". People say that a bit of jogging/running/exercises keeps you healthy, I too know that but my mind starts finding excuses.
Amidst strong battle between enthusiasm and excuses, suddenly tired body takes over; everything goes to back seat and I start walking. As I regain my breath, excuses try to take control to stop me from thinking of another round but then enthusiams also tries to gain some ground. Sometimes I will give up, at other times I will continue.
Though this experience sucks, perhaps continuing it won't do good to me but not continuing can certainly harm a lot.
Hey Bhagwaan, Please give me a little bit of will power.
