    Dear Twinsmom,

    That was a lovely writeup....i enjoyed the dry humour and all the thoughts, feelings emotions and the laziness that goes with the thought of getting out for a WALK that to for our own benefit.....so here i am sitting with my laptop instead of donning the walking shoes and going on my laps! :hide: But thoroughly enjoyed reading and let me see if self motivation or your blog will motivate me to move a muscle at least! :rotfl:
    But i am sure listening to songs on ipod will help, you can listen to your slokams and also some great audio speeches etc. I do that on my long train rides and sometimes burst out laughing at the jokes of Suki Sivam and get wierd glances from my fellow travellers! But me i am in my own world of Bhagvad Gita or Sita kalyanam oblivious to my surroundings!:biglaugh

    Twinsmom,
    I am in your shoes regarding on the 'kickstart'. When walking on the school grounds nearby, I used to chant the slokas, and if finished before the laps...I do continue with the japams or just namasmaranams..1 round..one nama
    the 2 nd round the next nama and so on..
    As I don't go for rounds nowadays, I follow this while walking on the treadmill..

    Hi Twinsmom,
    Ican identify with you in each every word you wrote. I used to wonder why am i mediocre in every thing including physical activities, let alone brains.
    All my exercise regimes starts with a gusto ends up as busvanam

    Ha ha Twinsmom....

    Loved your attempt at kick starting self motivation. In turn, looks like you have given us all a kick in the 'you know where' to gather whatever motivation we might have...:rotfl

    As always, a pleasure to read your blogs and this too got religiously nominated to the FP forum...Congrats!:thumbsup

    Don't know if I picked up on my motivations, I certainly added to my vocabulary after reading your hilarious attempt at walking...Yep..'waistful' (which I am:(), 'vividh blogathi'....:bowdown You do have a knack with words..!!

    Yet, even this excellent write up is not sufficient to drive away my lethargy and get me walking...it only gets me going...to read more of your blogs!

    L, Kamla

    Hi Sudha,

    ".....let me see if self motivation or your blog will motivate me to move a muscle at least!...."

    Did it happen?

    ....I do that on my long train rides and sometimes burst out laughing at the jokes of Suki Sivam and get wierd glances from my fellow travellers.....

    That's quiet likely to happen in my case too.... I can NOT control laughter!

    Hello Sriniketan,

    I tried the treadmill.... but it is a psychologically lost battle for me. I never get the satisfaction when I tread the mill... For once the blank wall... for another, I never reach anywhere even after walking on...and on... and on...! and finally, the phone calls... Sigh!
