![Today is 500 day mark since I started taking health, fitness and nutrition seriously.
There are hardly any days where I missed gym or missed being active. After repeated failed fitness attempts of yesteryears, this time I finally struck consistency. Extremely glad and fingers crossed to extend the 500 days to forever.

Reasons for consistency being
- Rapid visible physique change in first 6 months, this became self propelling driver
- Easy to access gym in my apartment community
- Working out with like-minded and extremely motivated folks (@arjunkholia, @i.m.vivek)
- Collecting data, data and more data. Setting goals for every 3 months and based on data analysis, taking actions for next 3.
- No rigid food restrictions and cooking goddamn tasty food. Prioritizing social life over abs.

Last 6 months however were quite stagnant due to traveling. I was still active during travels, it was hard to balance diet. The impact of travels is so much that there's a clear pattern in the strength graph. Strength inevitably goes down in V shape after every trip.

This year I've ambitious goal of getting to 1000 pounds club [bench press + deadlift + squat]. At half way now. Ref. 2nd photo in this post corousel.
To get there, I need to build a fair amount of muscles. For which I'm super excited about! Gaining muscles would most likely come with gaining a layers of fat. But I gotta eat tons of food as well and who doesn't like eating! 🤤](https://darpan.blog/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
