Re: Health and Fitness Thread
I received THE best compliment last night. So my one friend playfully poked me on my side and to retaliate, a couple minutes later, I walked passed him and poked his arm. Then another time, I poked him again. He was like, "OWWW! You're like man-handling me.  "
I was like, YESSS!!!!

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
i know this is not a big deal on the whole "eating healthy thing"
but today I got my family to switch from whole milk to 2%! yay! and im going out running after dinner.
day 2 ( after previous relapse)
And i agree with sumiyia it sooo hard to be healthy and excerise when your working fulltime or in school.
I credit my ability to excerise to me being jobless right now.

Hey, even whole to 2% is a step.
It is challenging to keep up a healthy routine when you're busy with work and/or school. But, you just have to force yourself and gradually it will become part of your routine (really).

You're the fatty, fatty.
It's hard to find time to work out when you're working full-time and schooling full-time and working part-time on top of that.
When I go back to uni full-time, then I'm never gonna complain about not having time again.
Yoga is the best.  My friend wants to take yoga again, 'cause we took it together last semester, but I'm working.

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
I fell off the wagon last week, only worked out once!  I was pretty consistent for 2 months though. Back on this week, insh'Allah.
