20 min a day!

20 min it was. Seemed to far fetched, but there was a feeling, I could do it. Every second counted. Every minute was valuable. I could not afford to back out..it was something I had promised myself.
19 min, its ok..I just started. I was trying to divert my mind..may be to a hummable song. I will sing the whole song, and may be 4-5 min will pass. so started with the song I knew, riders of the storm.
There’s a killer on the road
its squriming like a toad
take a holiday..
and let your children play.
Damn, I couldn’t remember the music. I looked at the clock. 40 secs have passed. I was as anxious as when waiting in front of a microwave to heat my sandwich for a min.
The next method..let me think about my boyfriend. A looks awesome in grey. yeah, in grey shirt. the day he drove me down to nandi hills. And memory disrupted..it was so hot that day. Cancel cancel. Next.
The day we went to this most awesome place to eat..the place where I first tasted mayo . Omg. I want to eat mayo now. Clock again.
Yayy. 6 min passed. this is working. I am thinking let me think about other guys now 😉
Bangalore is a place with not-so-handsome guys, each riding a bullet. Yeah, that sure is tempting. I had an avenger. Yes, I rode an avenger, and it was awesome. i felt like ghost rider riding his bike. So powerful.
7 min to go.
I get very impatient waiting 90 secs in traffic signal. I was astonished I could do this. I was tired. I shouldn’t have taken this up. I shouldn’t be so hard on myself, my heart said. but something else said that I have to. no matter what. Question of my sisters wedding, question of my in-laws sabotaging me. I have to do this.
3 min to go. O man. patience is a virtue. And I have lots of it. I was convincing myself. may be I will practise a tongue twister.
I love tongue twisters. I take up the challenge whoever asks me to say it, and I am very good at that. I once won this bet for “betty bought some butter” and I won a pen 😉 so I started saying that.
my talent was not helping, I was losing strength, somehow my heart beat started increasing.
1 min to go. I closed my eyes and started counting. yes. 59..58. Yes, I am doing this for myself. I will be happy by the end of it…37..36..35. Its ok. It will be over soon. 21..20.. and then I will be happy for the rest of the day..3..2..1..Uff! phew! humma!
And I got down the treadmill. Yayy to me. I have done my exercise today.
gym is the most tedious thing ever..trust me. I would do my seniors assignment, run behind an icecream truck for a treat, and even give up eating lays (yeah..may be no)..but going to gym..no way.
Somehow I plan to follow this routine, though previously I was regularly irregular. With lots of functions coming by, I plan to be regularly regular. 🙂 🙂
