Thats pretty good bro. I used to bike a lot. I have fields and hills just behind my house, we used to get a map and plan a route, and each time we used to go further and further, so damn fun. Except when you get chased by clan of gypsies with rifles. Actually thats actually fun too providing you escape and dont get caught possibly ending a great bike ride into a Texas chainsaw masacre type ending.

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
Due to the lack of 7alal food around, I turn vegetarian when I land here.
For the past week, I've been eating boiled/roasted vegetables with pita bread, and jogging for an hour every day. There's almost no space for food, because I'm always dehydrated, and filling my stomach with a litre of water kind of kills the hunger.
Healthy?

British fish? YUCK!
And they call Fish and Chips their "national food." You guys have no idea how to make delicious fish. What are my other options? |

Didn't I tell you pack enough shawarmas and chicken with you? 
[What about other seafood, like Prawns or Shrimp.]

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
We bought a Precor, a bench and some adjustable dumbbells so that we can workout at home. It's pretty convenient!

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
ABCDGirl, you've been working since I've been coming on. You must be ultra buff and can probably kick my ass. Nice work sis.
Anyhow, I have to go to a walima today. I look fat. Oh well.
I'll start my no carb diet tomorrow.
Waslaamzzzz

Hi Sami! 
Go to your profile options, and take the year out of your birthday, then it won't show your age.

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
I did some hardcore weight lifting yesterday. My arms and legs felt like jello afterwards - so much so that it was hard to lift my hands up to grip the steering wheel on the way home. Today I'm understanding the meaning of "feel the burn."
Nooo working out for me today, but inshaAllah cardio tomorrow, and more hardcore lifting on Wednesday. I'm trying to convince myself to go swimming tonight, but me thinks I'll just want to flop on the couch as soon as I get home from work and not move.
