Lost Weight: 96 kgs to 80 Kgs

The Milestone

• I did all this in a span of 5 months. As I told you, I had some timeline for placements and didn’t do any development, so I thought it was time to take care of my body and started working on that.
• Gym never appealed to me a lot before, so I took up other sports for that where I enjoyed the process also. So, I learnt Squash (as it was less competitive and crowded in college as it is an expensive game and requires maintenance).
• Once I became good at Squash, it was hard to convince others to play this game who were at my level (because I played terribly in it). So, I improved my game a lot due to that, but I was still behind many players.
• So, to keep the fun going, I started playing badminton, which was very competitive and crowded, but I cracked the timing and saw that in the morning (4 a.m. to 6 a.m.) it used to be empty and post 9 p.m. in the night it used to be empty. So, I started playing in those slots and the rest of the time I dedicated to Squash. I was all day playing and trying new sports.
• I used to walk around 10,000 steps daily in college. Evening walks with friends were the amazing part.
• I also started running in the last few months of college days (avg 5:40 minutes/km) and recorded each run on Strava to increase my agility in the game because again I was terrible at badminton too, so increasing the stamina and agility gave me some edge to judge opponents and act on them easily.
• I also went on cycling rides during the weekend, and it was always more than 20 kms. The longest I did in college was 80 kms. With all the running effort, cycling was easy for me.
• I did utilize my time to the fullest and gave focus on one single goal, and that was to enjoy as much as possible in this journey.
• And on that note, that’s how my 4 years of college were completed.
