I am on a hill top having a picnic breakfast with my family.
Hill climbing popular family activity. The winding path from the base of the hill is wide and paved. Parents bring preschool kids up the path for some exercise.
The walk up the hill early in the morning was lovely. The sun’s rays filtered through the trees, bouncing off the fine mist in a spray of golden droplets.
The first time we climbed the hill, it was challenging. The summit was perpetually out of reach. My sons keep going.. Are we there yet?
It gets easier with practice. We sweat buckets climbing up, burn calories and tone our legs.
Getting to the summit gives us a sense of satisfaction. We made it !
The air at the top of the hill is cool and fresh. Gentle breeze. Beautiful scenery. Being close to nature.
Bliss.
After a fairly recent health scare, I started running to lose the excess weight I'd gained with my first pregnancy. 12 years after giving birth to my first child, I finally reached a healthy weight.
I'm a foodie with a sweet tooth and a huge appetite, hence maintaining a reasonably healthy weight is a challenge. It involves a daily effort and a permanent switch to a healthy lifestyle. I'm using this blog to keep myself in check and to share my experiences with others who too struggle with weight management.
