Alhamdulillah it's easy to lose weight during Ramadan. I usually volunteer to serve food at the masjid during Ramadan, and after everyone's eaten, there's not much left

I know, it's hard to stay motivated. Just think about how good you'll feel when you're back in the healthy eating/exercise routine. Plus, you know, there's the benefit of not having heart disease and all that. Everyone goes through periods where they're not as consistent, so just get back in it and you'll be fine iA.

I agree wit fooz..you should be eating at least 500 calories for breakfast. Can't go wrong with Oatmeal, nor egg whites.

Well done for making a change though..masha'Allah.

Dear Cardio,

I feel like our relationship isn't working for me, I mean........you're always taking. Taking, taking, taking........when will you give? Sometimes I feel like you're not on my side, like when you conspire with the gym owners to play the cheesiest top 40 pop music, or when that guy with the tight biker shorts just "happens" to be in front of me....or when I sweat so much that I could singlehandedly end drought in 4 nations. I hate your face cardio........if you had a face I would punch it. It's over.

Sincerely,
Dreamdeferred


Ps It's not really over but I still can't stand your guts.

That letter... umm... wow. LOL.


Anyway, I haven't gym'd in two days. My back feels better! And I think I can benefit by stretching in the morning and before bed, iA. Back to the gym tomorrow, iA!

Thanks. I mentioned the apple for breakfast because I never eat breakfast.

Dear Dreamdeferred,

Thank you for your inquiry. At this time, you have already made a contract with your body that cannot be broken without severe penalty. Thus, your request was denied and we'll see you on the treadmill.

Sincerely,
Cardio
