Excuses are useless. Results are priceless.

Fitness is the topic for today. Oh, how I love this topic! Can talk about it for hours and hours. Thanks to my dedication and determination, I'm getting fitter. The waist line is getting slimmer, my stamina is increasing, I can push myself more and I'm enjoying the feeling the way my body feels these days, though there is a super long way to go.

So, the change is that I've stopped going to the gym and now I work out at home itself.

I do these super short 12 to 15 minutes bodyrock.tv workouts every day. And by my own experience, I can say they are AWESOME and very intense.

You can check out their website here, and let me tell you this is NOT a sponsored post. I am talking about my own views and experience here.

I have been doing these workouts for 8 -10 months now and I love the fact that they are short and can be done at home. You don't have to go to a gym (though you definitely can) and hence all your excuses of not having time and such nonsense can be trashed in to the bin! You can have Results or Excuses. NOT BOTH.

12 minutes everyday - now that's not a big deal people! And need not mention, Slow Progress is better than No Progress. At least give it a try!

We all can do this much at least for our bodies. Leaving for you to decide!

Stay Strong. Stay Fit.

Yours truly

Inspiration: Waiting

I am waiting or let's say getting ready for some amazingly cool weather this weekend. They say the temperature is going to drop to 45 degrees here in Pheonix. Now, that's the lowest temperature I would experience for the first time here. And hence, I was looking for inspiration online and see what I got!
Isn't she amazing? The color of her pants, that style and that charm? I love her hair too. Only if my husband would agree and I would look that good in that cut. Ahhh.. Sigh..

Can't believe it's November already. Life is moving fast. The season of festivals in India has always been so lively and colorful. Wish I was back home this time of the year. I am missing all the fun!
Well, it's alright and GM (the husband) promised to make it up. We have few fun things lined up every weekend this month! Waiting! Waiting!
Will share soon :)
Till then, stay stylish!

Jet-Set-Jump-Suit

"They come and go out of style, but jumpsuits are chic and sexy no matter what."

Take the Black way
Black is wonderful. It's slimming and sophisticated. You can dress up your black jumpsuit in hundreds and thousands of ways. Trust me!

Pair it with a Jacket
Layer your jumpsuit underneath a jacket. It makes the look more subtle. For a dramatic style, you may pick vibrant tones for the jacket.

Look for a Loose Cut
This cut suits most body types. Grab one for yourself. I'm in search of one for myself.

Don't choose the Skin Fitting types
A skin fitting suit is called a catsuit, not a jumpsuit. Even if you have a slim and toned body, this would not be a good choice.

Dress it Up
Accessories are the key! More is Less. Be creative and style your jumpsuit the way you like!

Cheers

Cool Blue

A slow, sweet and a little chilly morning calls for something blue - something lady-like. And that sets up the mood for the day. I was out early in the morning and this blue jeans has transformed in to my go-to jeans lately. I reach out to it and team any blouse or shirt and it goes perfectly.
Frankly speaking, I am missing my shoes collection in India. I left behind so many of them. Though I am firmly determined to build one here as well, but picking class pieces takes some good research and time.

P.S. As my Indian friends would know, it's "Karwachauth" today. I wish all of you wonderful ladies fasting for your husbands/loved ones for their long and healthy life, a very 'Happy Karwachauth'.
