I can not believe this.....it is just AMAZING !!!

I tried so hard for this since I got my Apple Watch back in November however always missed it by a little. This time, I was determined to hit it before end of January and I did it. This is such an amazing feeling hitting all THREE rings on Apple Watch for each day of the week from Monday, January 25th  to Sunday, January 31st.

And look at the awards it has showered me with, just simply Awesome! I was dreaming about these from last 2 months and dreams do come true!!

Milestone: Halfway to my Adventure - Kashmir to Kanyakumari Done !!

Friends,

For those of you following me on my weight loss journey and my adventure to Walk, Jog, Run, Bike Ride (for my friends in India Bike Ride means our own bicycle riding not motorcycle), Treadmill, or any other means of cardiovascular exercise to virtually cover the distance from Kashmir (northern most city) to Kanyakumari (southern most city) in India; I would like to share a great news. Yesterday, I have completed HALF of this adventure and have already walked 1183.3 Miles (1904.34 Km) in 1 year and  month including a 4 months gap when Krisha was born. Thanks for all your encouragement and support !

My First Half Marathon !!

Wow !! I can not believe it myself. The person who could not walk 1 mile an year ago, completed 13.1 miles today !! Yahoo !! It was a tough one on the treadmill for 2 hours and 35 minutes. It was a win of mind over body. Too tired to write any further. So, without any delays here are the proofs.

1000 Miles (1609 Km) Achieved !!

Yes, I did it ! I could have done it much earlier but "Better Late than Never !!"

1,000 miles mark reached. What an amazing personal accomplishment for someone who could not walk a mile 11 months ago. I am still not able to believe that I have done it. And this just a beginning to a wonderful and healthy life. God has given me this life and I have to take care of it. Amen !

11 months = 1000 miles = 1609 km = 21 lb weight loss

A Thousand Miles !! How much exactly is it ?

• 1609.34 Km
• 10 times of distance from my home town (Moradabad) to New Delhi.
• My home town (Moradabad) to Mumbai (Bombay).
• Denver, CO (my current home) to Los Angeles, CA
• New York, NY to Orlando, Florida.

Transformation Thursdays !!

I have a long way to go, however would like to share my progress on Transformation Thursdays !!

150+ Miles in August 2013

I am very happy with my performance in August. Completed 150.53 miles in 31 days, the best part was that I have not missed a single day. And on last day, I need 11+ miles to reach 150 miles mark and I was able to do that. I am targeting 180 miles in September.

Proudest Moment of My Life !

Yesterday, It was the proudest moment of my life. And I would like to take this opportunity to Thank All of You to provide inspiration and motivation to improve my health. My special thanks to Kathy Ford and Sunaina Gagneja.

Last night, After work I had to go to Costco to pick-up my medicine and other stuff so got late to reach home. After resting for a while my son asked me if we can go to the park. I replied, yes for sure.

We went to the park and as it was quite late there was no one in the park for him to play with. He asked my wife if she would like to play tag with him. He never asks me as he knows my answer will be "No". I always thought that it is impossible for me to play tag being 270+ pounds. However, yesterday I tagged him and said "You are It !" and started running. That Big Smile on his face was amazing. And we played tag for around 20 minutes or so.

This Walking/Running/Jogging has changed my life in last 128 days. Not just I lost 18 pounds, I have gained my life back. I did something that I always thought is impossible for me.

Feeling very proud and blessed. Thanks again for all your inspirations and reading.

July 2013 - Distance in Miles

One step at a time made it to 187.76 miles in the month. There is no stopping me now.........

187+ Miles in July 2013

My goal was to walk/run/jog for 186 miles (6 miles a day) in July and I completed 187.76 miles yesterday. It is great to achieve your goals. So, it brings up the question of How many miles is the target for August ? My mind is juggling between 190 and 200 miles. I would say 190 miles for now, as it is better to under promise and over deliver. Thanks to all of your for your support and encouragement, without your support it was impossible.

My First 5K ! Color In Motion 5K ! DONE !

I am very happy to inform you all that I was able to complete my first 5K on July, 26th 2013 in 54 minutes 30 seconds. Here are some photos that I would like to share with you all.

Thanks for reading my post.

Completed 500 Miles !!

I have no words to explain how I feel today. I have completed 500 Miles ! Is not that amazing for a person who could not walk 1.5 miles around 14 weeks ago has completed 500 Miles. It took me 97 days to complete 500 miles. That means it will take me 458 days (my target is < 500 days) to complete my adventure of walking the distance of 2361 miles (equals Kashmir to Kanyakumari  in India).

I am loving it. This is going to be a life changing experience for me. When I will finish my adventure of walking 2361 miles, I am very sure I will be looking for ideas to cover some other distance.

Thanks a lot guys for your support and for reading my posts.

Completed 400 Miles !!

What an achievement !!! Amazing ! Amazing ! Amazing !

I have completed 400 miles.......Awesome ! And that marks 16.9 % of my adventure for Kashmir to Kanyakumari is complete and it took me 81 days to reach 16.9 % of the total that means it will take me 478 days to complete my adventure. That is well within my target to complete it in less than 500 days. Can I do it ? Yes for sure......

 
Thanks for reading my post.
