Habit

Thoughts

Exercise:

My Religion

Went in the Morning for a strength session. 5 mins rowing for a warmup.

Did 4 sets of Seated Calf Raises. 4 sets of EZ bar Bicep Curls. 4 sets of Machine Curls. 4 sets of Dumbell Curls. Went inside the CrossFit section for rehab.

McGill Big 3. Lock Big 3. Pull Ups 8. Banded Mobilisations. 1 set of 25 Push-ups to finish off.

I need to do cardio if I am thinking of scaling Nun this season.

Zone 2-3 Training:

The range of Heartrate between 110-145 bpm which is good for cardiovascular health. I note it down through my Garmin watch analysis of the workouts. (180 minutes per week target)

Zero. But I did walking for 65 mins in the evening. Felt good.

Meditate:

5 minutes of practice to start with

No.

Influence Book:

Book by Robert Cialdini. Want to go slow to internalize the concepts

0 pages. I will pick it up tomorrow

Homework for life:

A daily practice to capture important events of the day that made an impact on you; that can form a story.

Went to Baba Baghel Singh Museum at Bangla Sahib Gurudwara. Surprised to see the 4 Udasis (voyages) of Baba Nanak. He had travelled till Greece in Europe, Sri Lanka, Lhasa and Nanking in China on foot.

His message to Siddhas at Kailash Mountain: Enlightenment can be attained in a normal social life too. No need to become recluse. Opened my eyes to the myth of finding peace in mountains.

Weight:

Daily monitoring to track my eating habits and goals.

Not done. I will do regardless of empty stomach or full stomach. Let’s start tomorrow.

Push-ups:

Just to have an everyday pump

25. Happy.

Kegel:

For a strong pelvic muscle floor.

Nope

Calves:

To grow these minions

50 (40 Seated + 10 Standing)

Write:

To take forward a passion not realized

Blog

Mewing:

Just a fad maybe. To breathe better; for a visible jawline

As I write this

One Podcast:

Podcasts to learn and grow. Utilize Travel time

Dr. Ashdin on walking on Airports and mindless eating at Airports.

Flossing:

Remove Plaque, prevent cavities

Done in Morning

Brush at Night:

Needs no description

Thankfully

Skin Care:

To look at least my age and age gracefully

Doing well.

Clean:

No Intoxications for a spiritual, healthy, productive, and meaningful life

109 days

No Po:

Abstinence from a vice

358 days. 7 more for a milestone.

Habit Thoughts Exercise: My Religion Went to the Gym on cycle. Did 8 min walk on treadmill. Tried to run but the back felt uncomfortable so I dropped it. Then moved to the Weights Area for Arms day. 4 sets of Bicep Curl Extensions of medium weight. 4 sets of Seated Dumbell Curls. Medium weight but performed with rep cadence. 4 sets of Preacher EZ Bar Curls with medium weight. 1 set of Hammer Curl. 4 sets Seated Calf raises Went to the CrossFit section for banded mobilization of the left hip joint. I do 1 long hold of banded pigeon position in which the stretch of the band is strong and I open my hip joint to the best extent possible. It is indeed a great hip-opening manoeuvre. Later I did the usual McGill Big 3 followed by Shoulder rehabs. Then I did 7 pull-ups on the fat bar. I finished off the workout with 2 good sets of Barbell Glute bridges on the same platform I mentioned earlier. I closed...

Thought of the day We are becoming ever more conscious of our health owing to the never seen before health issues we are fighting. Many lifestyle diseases are plaguing us that we knowingly and unknowingly invite into our lives. It has become ever more important to monitor our health as we have little physical activity left in our lives made easier by technology. Most jobs are desk-based and only a margin of professions now need physical work. Technology has made our lives sedentary. Some people are truly conscious and track down their health stats regularly. It is said that below 40 years of age one can get a yearly or bi-yearly check-up done for general health. After 40 the check-up should be more frequent. I prefer getting a yearly Blood work done just to check if any tweaking around the diet is required. Also, it gives you a peep into the working of your organs and general health. It can alarm you if there is something abnormal that needs working on. There are plenty of marker...

Thought of the Day Indian Customs is facing a challenge due to the erratic functioning of a newly introduced Electronic Cash Ledger Wallet in the ICEGATE portal. This portal facilitates the trade to make Customs Duty payments for their Imported goods and on Exported goods where ever applicable. The wallet was introduced to improvise on the existing system of reporting the Duty collection figure at the end of the day to RBI. The intent was to help the trade by giving a facility to use their wallets for ease of duty payment and for real-time duty reconciliation for the RBI. The wallet was launched after due deliberations, discussions, and User Acceptance Testing by the vendor team maintaining the portal. However, post its launch the ECL got marred by multiple issues. The payments got almost paralyzed and there became a huge pile of transactions stuck in the system due to either Bank Payment failures or issues of integration of the pay...
