My Fitness Journey - Herbalife and Shreyas

 My Fitness Journey - Herbalife and Shreyas

“Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” ~ Winston Churchill

“Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit. ...

The quote explains the message that you should learn from your failures and never give up.  It was in April this year when I was struggling to get ready to office as no shirts, trousers fitting in and getting irritated looking self in the mirror.  The reason - I was working away from home in Karnataka  and morning tea to dinner, was dependent on the availability that too whole rice based foods. In a process put on loads of weight.  Prior to that was in Hyderabad for over 4 years where again hostel stay, food and weekly travel. But my office then had a facility for cycling, treadmill so could control it in a way. But here I could not do so.  

I heard of Herbalife as wife did it for some time and stopped. Then came to know Shreyas - a son of friend is doing this full time. On the first call he explained so well.  A small boy was talking almost like an expert in the domain with full of confidence. I call him a boy as he was just the baby when I got married. I will share the photo if I get it. 

Initial investment in terms of the amount made me rethink, but then decided to give a try.  The day I took this decision I was 84.8 kgs.  But I ordered the products. By the time they arrive, this group has morning workout sessions called "Miracle Morning" wherein a group of passionate, dedicated and successful entrepreneurs come together and are working on a healthy nation.  Believe me the intent they all are doing this is very pure. The mission they are on, definitely has a great vision and they are doing it with passion.  

I started logging in to morning workout calls though it is still not fitting in my schedule as has to leave home at 8.00 am to catch office bus. But 40 to 50 minutes workout started bringing me back in action and built the confidence that Yes we can do it again. I am using the word again as earlier in 2014 I did this and lost over 16 kgs by rigorous gym and diet, but then got transferred to Hyderabad and things changed.  Earlier I did over 40 running events, half marathons from 2014 to 2017.  But it all gone in vain as could not do it. 

Shreyas gave a perfect plan with daily trackers, food and water intake. Not only he just sent it, but made a constant follow up till I get in there. Its not that they are selling the products..They are actually striving hard to drive the fit nation oath that they have taken.  Believe me the morning vworkouts are fun and you don't realize that you do 100 squats, lunges in a single sitting. It just happens unknowingly and you keep on doing it.  But Shreyas and team are very strict and they push very hard to give you 100% in the workout for better results. Akshay is other trainer who himself does a gym in the morning and then again join our sessions. Hats off to the energies these people carry. Not only the workouts but post workout health sessions and inspiring stories - this helps to push yourself to a next level and in a process achieve better results.  These guys are awesome. A set of thorough professionals coupled with emotions, product knowledge, loads of energies to connect people on the path to walk together for a healthy nation. 

The follow up, progress is tracked well and the interesting part is this also has an opportunity for you to become an entrepreneur. What you sell is not the product but the healthy advise sold a practical way - no magic, no marketing gymic but just a true sense of our well being by following the correct and apt nutrition. 

"Nothing is free in this world ....

You can breath in air only when you send a breath out"

I must mention here that this mission of fitness that Herbalife and team are walking on is definitely an organized way of doing things. In terms of the number of people connected globally is just countless and every single moment one is getting added in family..so its growing every moment.  But trust me, believe me....you experience it your own way barring all the negatives that people spread by not following it regularly or some without even knowing a bit of it.

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.“ ...

When I am writing this I am 73.8 kgs loosing 11 kgs weight in just 50 days. I attended weddings, birthday parties, multiple office events ...but did not miss my workout and diet.  My working hours are ~ 13 to 14 hrs a day, involves 100Kms of travel every day. In office keep cracking over 8000 to 10000 steps...some times delayed lunch...missed it also. Hectic weekends too, but I could achieve this...and am confident everyone can do it. Not only the weight but my skin is glowing, my selfie and pictures are far better than they used to be ....and that irritation turned to Love to look myself in mirror. 

Thanks to Shreyas, his coach Khushboo madam, Akshay and the lovely Miracle morning fraternity for allowing me to be here and do wonders in my own fitness journey.  

Love you guys.....
