Hello & Namaste Steemians! I'm Shweta - a plant powered fitness geek and a proud supporter of doing whatever makes your soul happy :)

Hi!

I’m Shweta. Your average Computer Engineer turned MBA graduate. A hospitality marketing consultant by day and a fitness coach by night. Fitness has been a passion for me, since close to a decade now. Much of what you are going to read in my posts may come as a surprise. Much may even challenge or shock you. Some of the information may be dismissed as being impossible, and some of it can simply transform you, so please stick with me on this one guys.

My fitness journey:

Back in the day, when I was running around trying to get a degree, I just couldn’t be bothered to eat right or exercise, and before I realized it I became grossly overweight. It started affecting my physical, mental and emotional health, but the final wake up call for me was when I started having issues with my periods and was diagnosed with PCOS.

I made up mind to set things right by my body and started making lifestyle changes, one at a time, towards a healthier me. I switched to a plant based lifestyle. Got active and started working out in different ways so it didn’t get monotonous and as a result I managed to stay consistent.

Slowly but surely I lost over 23 kgs (51 lbs.) during the course of 2 years and have managed to maintain it ever since.

On my journey, I also became a certified Personal & Group Trainer, and a Pilates instructor. Now recently, I’ve started my Crossfit training twice a week, and really look forward to those sessions as well.

Personal journey:

I got married right after my MBA graduation, to the most amazing and funny guy ever. We have known each other since ten years now and I still fall for him more everyday.

We recently moved from Mumbai to this quaint little coastal town of Dapoli, where my husband, who is in the real estate space, is currently constructing a mammoth second-home project (with the most amazing and breathtaking view btw). The transition has been pretty neat. I find myself enjoying the “hygge” vibe that this place has; there is a certain slow-ness and charm to it.

With this blog I hope to:

• Provide relevant information about how to stay on top of your health game. It really doesn't need to be so complicated and confusing!

• Clarify most, if not all, existing myths and misconceptions about Health, Nutrition and Food.

• Provide a holistic, natural and simple way to stay fit and well. This is the way nature designed in her millions of years of evolution and experience.

• Emphasise that vibrant health is possible. In other words you can achieve your maximum potential of wellness, by understanding the basic principles of health and nutrition.

• Establish that our lifestyle choices make an impact on food security. This in turn make food safety the most important issue of our times.

One of the biggest challenges for me has been to balance and integrate theory and practise, taste and health, faith and rationale. I hope this blog will help to bring you on the ever adventurous journey and discovery of yourself and your own capacity for staying well.

See you around. :)
