Fitocrat

As always, i ended up not writing for over 10 days. And a lot happened in the meanwhile.
A class party and farewell, a lot of report writing, attending a ceremony, a treat from our juniors and a trip home are few of the things that i remember.
But today, i will write a small write up on Fitocracy.
It all started when i read the XKCD strip "oversight" and ended up signing up for Fitocracy. It sounded fun. more like playing mafia, but doing all the fighting in real life, just to get fitter. i loved the concept and decided to track my intermittent exercises on it.
When i say intermittent, i mean the once-twice a week workouts on the IITB main ground. Considering that i am too unfit to even jog twice around the 400 m track, non-stop, i generally focus on brisk walking and then stretching out. every time i stretch, i realise one muscle or the other which doesnt bend the way it must. Slowly and steadily, i would have improved only if i had exercised regularly. nevertheless, i keep trying and i already feel a bit better than my worst phase in life, which was at the beginning of this semester.
40 Inches and 88 Kgs! i want to get back to 36 and 80. Also, i want to be able to jog a km and sprint  50 m. For that, i have to get fitter. Fitocracy might just be the carrot for me...
