Just the other day I was bragging about fitting into my five year old jeans to my husband but I should have known better to keep my mouth shut. I teased him that it was a luxury he no longer enjoyed thanks to his expanding waistline. No the credit doesn’t go to my cooking skills. Infact, since I mostly don’t cook the take-away restaurant next door is what deserves the praise to get him to this point. But let’s not digress here. The thing is I should have known that these jokes would come back to bite me in the rear. Seriously! 

Perhaps it was the fruit of my taunt that I had to reap or karma that all of a sudden I just couldn’t fit into my favourite kurti anymore. I had bought it when I first started working. Yes, it was really special and used to fit me to a tee! Needless to say my heart broke as I reluctantly handed that over to my maid. I was holding on to it for life as she resolutely pulled it away. Well, if I couldn’t use it atleast her daughter could!

I couldn’t let myself bloat up like a boat, if you know what I mean! I had to do something. But what? The answer was the gym at office. The memory of my kurti begged me to work out and there I was at the entrance of the sacred gym waiting to get my body back come what may. 

But before I could get onto any of the treadmills or use any of the other equipments, I realized what a misfit I was. Yes, I looked out of place due to the clothes I had worn. While everyone else at the gym looked perfectly dressed to burn calories and get back in shape, I looked like a lost soul out for an evening walk. No, I couldn’t stand there any longer. I had to go back to equip myself better for the picture-perfect start to my workout regime. I know workout is all about working out and not the gear but what can I do I’m a girl! I need to look my best almost all the time you see. 

Since I will have to jog in the mornings, the first thing I had to pick was shoes. Since morning walks are a perfect way to begin your day and work out regime, it was imperative that I own an awesome pair of shoes for the same. And this is what I finally picked up for that very purpose.

But of-course I can’t wear the shoes without socks. Hence, these are the socks that I picked to complement my shoes.

And this capri would go perfectly with the t-shirt. What can I say I kind of have a fetish for all clothes black!

So what are you waiting for? Get trendy, get fit! Jabong’s there to help you in the former!
