This is the year he is going to get back into shape and shed all his excess fat and sedentary lifestyle, said Ehsanullah Ehsan on Tuesday.
“And not just the fat,” he said, speaking to The Dependent while signing up for the gym at the state guest house. “I am also going to be leaving a lot of negativity behind.”
“That’s right, clean eating is what I’m looking at this year,” he said. “And I know the good folks at the mess here make great food but I really need to look into portion control.”
“So let’s see here,” he said, while browsing through the gym brochure. “There’s spinning class, there’s Zumba, some Bollywood dancersise. And then there are the plain old treadmill and ellipticals. After a month or two of this, I’m going to go into my resistance training and boy do they have a good weight room.”
“But it’s not just the gym. I’m also going to be going for a new look this year. I’m thinking of getting a different haircut and shake up my wardrobe. Ditch the greys for khakis maybe.”
