The Rise and Fall of the Tummy.

I have gained a lot in the past one year. 8 kg, to be precise. Or 12.5%. My weight had constantly hovered around the 63kg mark in my entire under-grad days. 4 months into my job, I had gained 2 kg, and another 8 months later, extra 6 kg. The progression is definitely more than arithmetical. (I haven't plotted it, but it might turn near exponential!)

I am not that scared of the current state I am in. I look as healthy as ever. But the rate at which the achievement was accomplished requires some rethinking on my part. There are signs: I am not able to wear any of the pants that I bought at the beginning of the year. And all this time, I have been trying to convince myself that my pants have shrunk in size. To make it worse, my uncles and my grandpa from my mother's side have not so flattering tummies. You never know if some miscreant of that gene decided to inhabit my body.

Therefore, for my own good, I intend to reverse what happened in the last year. I have just formulated a plan to this end. I am not setting any time-line as of now, though.

1a. Buy jogging shoes.
1b. Jog every morning for at least 3-4 km. This should be done on a different route everyday just to make sure I do not get bored!
2. Stop eating chicken. Eat chicken only one day a week. Eat chicken only when I drink beer, and one extra day in a week.
3. Eat just salad for one day.
4. Play football at least every weekend.
5. Weigh myself at least once every month two months and keep track of my performance.
