So as part of my new year goals and in my quest to lose extra fat I have jumped onto P90x.As much as I would love to believe that I am fit enough to take on this project, the reality is far from it.So I have decided to mix P90x and Yoga. Yeah Baby!!! I am going to alternate P90x with Yoga - a high impact work out with a low impact workout.I did P90x plyo last week and I was definitely not prepared for it. So I am going to do this for 4 weeks.
Today is Yoga day. I do yoga from the site Yogaglo.com. I really enjoy all the videos as it makes me feel like as though I am part of the class :)).I will update my progress in a week.

Sankranthi
Sankranthi is a festival that we have always celebrated with enthusiasm as it is the first festival of the year.I loved visiting my relatives as a kid during this festival. The tradition was to visit atleast 2 houses.
Even though my laziness was pulling me down, I did manage to make ellu - a mix of roasted groundnuts (minus any dark spots or cover), slightly roasted sesame seeds , cut jaggery pieces and dry cocunut.On the day of Sankranthi I woke up at 7:30 AM, got ready to do the Pooja by 9:30 . Habee and myself did the pooja. There was only payasam, ellu and pongal for the naivedyam.Habee and me exchanged ellu and told each other "ellu bella thindu olle maathadbeku" :)). I am sure that will hold good for some hours till we lose our temper.After the pooja, we had a light meal and an awesome siesta. I love afternoon naps but I cannot afford them during the weekdays. So I enjoyed it to the maximum. In the evening we visited my cousins house and an aunt's house for "ellu beerodu" ritual. What fun it is to visit people during festivals and enjoy. :))
We had been to Atlantic city the previous day with another couple. Though I ended up losing a few bucks, I totally enjoyed the dinner at Buddakan. Its getting really cold though. No sign of snow but really cold.

Happy New Year ...2012
Every year I promise myself that I will lose 10 pounds and the promise fades away after a week.This year I have decided to lose 4 pounds in January :). Its not an impossible task but given my lack of persistence to a mission, there is some doubt. Nevertheless I should go for it :).
Hi dusty dumbells , unused Yoga mat and my rusty Gym membership...
