vibrator anyone?

Today I was a woman possessed. I headed determinedly, to the nearest gym, not really the best, but good enough. Very practical reason for choice, since I just need to take the elevator and go down and there it is, right in my complex. Besides, it's not really burning a hole in my empty pocket. I haven't paid yet. "Try it today", I was told.

I landed at 'Ladies Timing'. Yes there is such a thing, when women of all sizes descend upon a poor little instructor, woman of course, and challenge all the mean machines to hold them up. Today, in all I saw 3 women. One struggling to tie shoe laces, another cycling leisurely like it's a joyride, I thought a song on her lips would complete the picture (hum hai raahi pyaar ke would compliment her nodding head best) and the third woman smiled at me and left.

And after a long gap of almost 2 years I felt that ting in my body which is so refreshing, so invigorating. The strain, the stretch, the pain. It's all pure pleasure.

But what I had never encountered before was the vibrator, a scary machine with a wide belt hanging. I was skeptical about allowing myself to be 'vibrated'. A little coaxing was all it required and the next moment, every bit of fat in my middle jiggled violently. It was moved to my stomach and my poor tummy was almost spilling itself out. Oh my god, I gasped. All wild thoughts raced through my mind. I grinned at my martini-shaken sight in the mirror. Far from orgasmic.

"Cut out sweets and oil. Tomorrow we'll make your diet chart." I thanked and left.

God, lead me not into temptation and help me find my way to the gym again tomorrow.

Hi... My first time here... Great post - hilarious !! :-)
"every bit of fat in my middle jiggled violently" -> lol, u have a sense of humor aight !
Jus wanted to share somethin, me been gymming for a long time now, but i really do agree with some of ur readers, that vibrators aint too good. Nothin like physical exercises, like side stretches, and jogging etc. Vibrators do not serve the purpose. If all u want is a nice jiggle, find a way to a dance floor ;-) kidddinnngg

That was really funny! Drag yourself to the gym, and I am sure once you are there you will not regret the decision. BTW, try singing "Baba, man ki aankhen khol" while on the vibrator... that will complete the picture ;)

Let's make it simple for you to be there the next day:

Mom's yoga @ 5AM

OR

A free-time elevator ride to the GYM!

atul: Me too! But the results haven't been too flattering.

boabhan: Does it? It really isn't, believe me.

nish: Gym in complex has hardly motivated me to run down and join in. So you see, it's not where you live. Basically stop looking for excuses like me. :)

gratis, parna: I know, I know! I think you are right about the vibrator. Useless!

arundhati: right. yikes!

pixel: now how did I forget that? *rushing to look for golmaal dvd*

wicked angel: It's not as scary to look at than what it's actually capable of!

akruti: please join immediately so we can compare notes.

johnny boy: Welcome! And going by your blog, I realised, here's a hard core gym-er (is there such a word?) Please send some inspiration my way.

ash: Thank you, ash, I got to go everyday, right.

rash: Okay, let me try, at least verbally. Psyche yourself to a point that unless you take that walk, you would be miserable.

kahini: Thank you. Some back patting is in order.

sudipto: You think I can remember to sing anything while trying to stop my intestines from spilling out?

twilight fairy: so you think it's useless? can spare myself the stupid jiggling then.

gulnaz: Now this is something new, butt bashing! The sight must be hilarious!

nupur: I think working yourself is always more useful than anything else working for you. But butt banging could help :)

gangadhar: Please laugh a little less and pray a little more for me. :)

chandrika: Yes, yes, trying. Erratically online. Your phone back now?

sheriff: Welcome and thank you for the range of motivating factors.

kapil: Elevator any day! Thank you for making it so clear!

I cried today after dropping my daughter off at school. I'm PMSing on top of everything so it's been an explosion of emotions which is why I've posted so much.

I'll be better tomorrow. My daughter loved the school thing.

Lol! Fitness and diet fads are so overrated!! Where are the good old days of walking and jogging in a park near your house or even doing yoga at home? Gone are the days of drinking water or even squeezing orange juice at home or eating home made food. Now's the age for Tropicana and Pasta and Pizza and Burgers and greasy Chinese food! It's sad how we are succumbing to the fast food junkets. No wonder young people are putting on weight!Why do we always end up taking the worst from the West?? Everybody knows McDonald's and Pizza Hut are the 2 most important reasons for America's obesity problems and we Indians think it's cool! Sigh!!

Don't get sucked into the fads. Maintain a healthy life style and see the results for yourself! :-)

Vibrator? Heh. Got a little confused there. Then I read the post and have been chuckling ever since :P

Vibrator is no good for losing weight. Weight loss is a simple equation. Calories spent > (greater than) Calories consumed => Weight loss. But it is easier said than done actually - I have first hand experience.

Also, DO NOT starve yourself. If you do, your body goes into survival mode and spends even less calories (i.e. slow metabolism) To give a kickstart to your metabloism, eat 4-5 small meals (keyword being "small :P) AND exercise regularly.

I guess that should be enough. Ever notice how a mere mention of weight loss efforts brings on LOADS of advice from well meaning people? :D

rat: All I know it makes you realise the meaning of vibrator. Like how some things can never be defined, they have to be experienced.

boabhan sith: I am sure Adara is enjoying school. I know it must be tough for you to see her on her own (in school). Post some school pics?

hope n love: Somehow I always knew you were the disciplined type and would be going to the gym regularly. Inspire me please when I feel too lazy.

arun: Welcome. Once you know me better, you would know what kinds tempt me. Organic diet? Hehehe! All I look for is lots of yummy food as inspiration.

amitken: Thank you and please dont laugh.

alpha: If they are fit old women I dont mind, actually.

stone: Please dont dissaude. There's nobody to play with. And I walk on the treadmill. Better than just thinking and doing nothing, right?

sheriff: I thought I was the only one who dug into archives and read and read. Glad someone's reading mine too. Thank you :)

truth fairy: Welcome. The good old days are long gone. Where food is concerned, eating pizza, pastas and burgers is a matter of taste, not fad. If people didn't like they wouldn't pay and eat. We still have vadas, pokaras, chats, dosas, parathas which are equally hazardous.
But you are right. All said and done, a healthy lifestyle is the key.

johnny boy: I know what you mean. Am trying to make it everyday. The instructor is impressed already! Lot of stamina he says. Am not so old, i wanted to say.

gettingthere: Isnt it a great title to get people here? Okay am hanging on to all your advice, and believe me I really appreciate you telling me to eat 4-5 meals a day :)

atul sabnis: updating. updating. *huffing and puffing*!

Please, oh please do not use that belted contraption - in a gym in a small town that I grew up in, I was witness to a very bad accident a middle-aged man had on it - I dont remember specifics but i remember him lying on the floor and then people talking of internal bleeding.

though umm...keep up the gymming!!!!yayy for a healthier generation:)
