Asalamu Alaikum,

I didn't go through and exercise this Ramadan at all. Aside, from a brisk 20 minute walk every few days. However, I didn't gain any weight...infact lost a bit which I should gain back.

Also haven't done pilates all this month...I feel like my body's changing...don't feel so great, even though theres no difference in appearance.

Weird...

Fi AmanAllah

He's probably friends with some of your friends on facebook, he can probably see your photos when they comment on them. Check your privacy settings and ask your friends to do the same.


I've been watching some Jack Lalanne videos on Youtube..the man was talking about stuff we are only now taking seriously as a nation. We are retarded...

To be honest, I was terrified of her neighborhood. I was so glad when I came back to my car and it wasn't stolen.

My Ramadan sucked health and fitness wise. I gave up on trying to work-out. But I guess Ramadan is there for other things to be considered more important, so I thought I'd make most of doing ibaadah.

I'll get back to the health and fitness after Eid, InshaAllah.

Well I lost half an inch off my waist anyway

Alhamdulillah, but mostly due to lack of eating. I think I worked out a grand total of 8 times during Ramadan.
