Running for Weight Loss and Life

Hi All,

This is mahesh, I thought of sharing my running programme with you today as i have clocked 300+ Kms in 30 days.

My inspiration - I have seen an old senior guy around 80+ years with out any teeth, this amazing gug runs for 10 kms every day. I was shocked to see him running in stadium, because what i have seen is; people in 60's cannot even stand up and walk. But hats off to this 80 + old guy who runs Bare foot for 10 to 15 kms every day in just 55 minutes.

I started running to reduce my weight, I was around 113.8 kgs on May 8th 2012 and today I am 104.5 kgs. I reduced nearly 9.2 Kilos and 4.5 inches of my tummy just by running 302 kms and little bit of cycling.

Thought of joining VLCC for weight reduction but dropped it due to bad reviews

As i was over weight, I went to enquire in  VLCC for weight reduction, VLCC lobby manager gave some weigh reduction packages and she told they are no 1 in weight reduction in India. When i asked them do VLCC prgrammes have any approvals from medical society or Standards?

 Lobby Manager told weight loss programme don't require any medical approvals as there programme is a natural method of weight reduction.

 She provided varoious weigh loss packages,the weight loss packages had the following elements:

• Tummy tucks
• Body Massage
• Weight loss through German Machines (  Whe you lie down on a bed, they place or stick some connecters  around your body for 1 hour. These connectors are similar to ECG connectors. Process-You lie down on a bed and electric machines will do there work, they  will vibrate your body for 1 hour  to 1.5 hours with 5 to 10 v electric shocks)
• Very strict diet.

They told i need to shell out 30,000 to 40,000 rs for 10 kg weight loss. I was scared to join VLCC not because of high ransom money but because of the bad reviews.

 I searched internet for VLCC weight loss schemes, there were lots of  bad and worst reviews about VLCC.90% of the folks who joined VLCC for weight reduction commented its a fake or fraud company. Reviewers commented;dont every think of VLCCas VLCC has lots of side effects and also the weight you loose will bounce back as soon as possible. After seeing some vulgar reviews about VLCC i tried to stay away from it.

Running came to my rescue

I thought the only way i can reduce my weight is through brisk walking or running with a strict diet. I started brisk walking for 3 days from May 8th to May 10th and on May 11th I was was introduced to running in Kanteerava stadium by my coaches: Mr Raju, Mr Srinivas and DIG of Bangalore.

In the initial days of jogging It was very painful for my knees, Ankle joints and Back. In the first week i use used to have terrible pain in my Back and Ankle joints but today  all this pains have vanished.

To tell you, I maintain a dairy of my workouts. I wrote regularly everyday in this diary about fitness activities. Today I realized that, I have achieved some thing and felt happy about it. I thought of sharing my happiness with friends.

You know, I felt happy and  proud, as i have clocked 300+ kms  just by running for 30 days.

Yes, My personal fitness diary shows that, i have clocked more than 300 kms in a month. This is really a Life time achievement for me.

To tell you frankly i have never walked more than 100 meters a day from past 10 years, but now I am running 10+ kms everyday for my life and fitness. Initially when i started running on may 11th, I felt running is the most difficult sport in the world. But today i can easily run 7 to 8 kms an hour with out any problems or pains.

In between I have also participated in Tata World 10k and completed the running competation in around 110 Minutes. In this competation, i came to know  there are 10000+ runners in bangalore alone.

In fact  Running have come to my rescue, for Weight loss.

Today my weight have reduce by 9.2 kilos and tummy got reduced from 44 inches to 39.5 inches in just a month. I can now fit in to most of my old clothes which i had kept it aside.

I want to achieve my targe weight of 80 kilos and tummy size of 34 to 36 inches, To achieve this i need to loose another 24 kilos and 6 inches of my tummy.

 Hope my dream will come true with running and diet.

Thanks for your time who have read my blog.

Note -I would post next time, when i reach 100 kilos.
