I am Nancy, a wife and Mother, currently enjoying her liberation of the thirties.
We all have this tendency to put people in a box. So if you ask me to define my box – then I am an Agile Coach for my living. But if you unbox me further, I am a writer for love of words, a self trainer for last 11 years and a fine Singer too!
I believe there is more to a person than what meets the eye. You need to have the patience, warmth and compassion to let someone unbox themselves.
I started this blog as a young girl exploring life and fitness. I am a self trainer, working out at home over 11 years now. I have tried and trained in many forms – HIIT, Strength training, Tabata, Kickboxing, Interval training etc.
As soon as I embraced motherhood, I realised that the quirky motherhood tales need to be told. In 2014, I had this tiny, delicate girl in my hands, smiling at me and assuring that life ahead would be beautiful and fun! Since then, I have huge respect for all fellow mothers! The sweet and sour experience of motherhood made me start my articles on parenting. I also give my parenting gyaan at Indian Moms Connect and BuzzingBubs. I was featured by Smart Indian Women folks. Gratitude to them! My second one was born ahead of time and we had our stint of NICU thereby teaching me a lot of valuable life lessons.
My tryst with fitness started in late 2011. Before that, I was always chubby or on the healthier side (to mince my words!). I always thought God has given everyone a “body type”. And there is not much you could do about it. When I started self training in 2011, I transformed by chubby body into a toned, lean body. This transformation boosted my confidence and outlook towards fitness, food and healthy living.
Each time I brought my babies into this world, I had 25 kgs extra weight one me! But the love for fitness was still strong. I lost my postpartum weight within a year, without stepping in a Gym for once!
Oh yeah, I had a healthy weight loss btw with home workouts.
Through my fitness blogs, I aim to raise awareness on how weight loss should be “real”, “sustainable” and “healthy”. Key to keeping fit is a lot simpler than what we perceive.
After having looked after my physical health for a decade, this book changed my outlook. I understood how overall wellbeing is more important than just physical fitness. Wellbeing touches your physical, emotional and mental health. I understood food in a different way now.
“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.”
― The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth
I started my spiritual journey in 2022. Today my practice stands evolved. I practice Pranayama, Meditation, Kriya Yog for an awakened soul consciousness.
With Covid Pandemic, we lost out on lot of travel opportunities. Soon we understood that travel by road could be the most safe option with kids. We did our first 5000 kms road travel from Gurgaon -Goa – Gokarna – in 2021. We found our calling in “Un Travelling”. Going slow, enjoying the journey and being in the moment. There is a term for this in millennial lingo JOMO (Joy of missing out :))!!
There after we have done few more road travels – Gurgaon to Dharmshala ( 1000+ Kms), Gurgaon to Kashmir (2500 + kms) .
That’s about me folks! Hope you enjoy reading the posts. Do connect to me on Social Media for your feedback or any query!
