Day 38.5 Round 2

I had a really nice morning. I got up and got my little Khaled showered and dressed for school. I had the other two all cleaned up at night so I just put some clothes on them and washed them up. Dropped Khaled off at school...then my husband drove me down to the gym while he was off to an appointment. I did 1Hour BodyCombat class and then I headed over to the relaxing Sauna for 35mins. It is sooo relaxing and calming to sit  in the Sauna...it smells so nice in there and you can just be alone to think and feel the warmy-ness. Then I had a quick shower and picked up my two little ones at "Gym School" which they love! My hubby was waiting downstairs for us...we got Tim Hortons double-double coffees and drove home. Now my little baby Mohammed is napping and Hessah and I are snuggled on the couch watching "The Wiggles."

I really started my day great! It was especially great because I wasn't even going to go this morning but I did anyways. Alhamdullilah for everything...and just waiting for the afternoon community event at the school/park we are all going too and then back in the gym this evening for: BodyPump, RPM and Hot Yoga :)

Help...how do I remove?

I would LOVE to know how to remove those things under my comments. The twitter/facebook link things and also how to remove the comment box tick offs saying cool and reactions to the post. I don't like those and have looked everywhere on how to take it off... :) Thanks in advance!

Day 38 Round 2

Well today was my son Khaled's first day of Grade 3...he started a brand new school just minutes from my doorstep...and it is beautiful I must say! I was so happy to see another fellow Muslimah Mom from Saudi Arabia and her name is UmmAbdullah....she is so nice MashaAllah in her cute little pashmina niqaab and abayya. So it was so nice meeting up with her again but let me tell you...I have to brush on on my Arabi because she does not speak very much Englaisi! :) Our kids were in the same class last year.

After the morning at the school, we went to the park with our great neighbours/friends Lisa and her son Leo who is in Khaled's class, and they have been in the same classes since Kindergarten! It was fun! Then off to Tim Hortons for a coffee with my husband....Staples for school supplies....then the Gym. I was so happy my little gym buddy Elly showed up for BodyCombat and for the first two classes I had Lydia. They are the cutest little people...you sure do meet some great women at the gym!

Day 38 September 7:

1Hour BodyStep

1Hour BodyPump

1Hour BodyCombat

I wonder if anyone actually reads this? Oh well if not...it is my own little diary of my weight loss attempts and keeps me motivated. :D

Day 36 Sunday andDay 37 Holiday

BOTH are:

DAYS off...how could I? But I did! :( And I was not eating very wise either! Waaaah oh well back at it today!

Weekend Day 35

Workout-wise...I took today off. I really ate a lot of no-no's :( But I hope I can get there tomorrow because Monday is a holiday and they only have classes in the morning. But on the weekends the classes start sooo early! 8:30am, so that means I have to be out of the house early with the kids and it is just not worth waking them all up for that. But as I said a million times IF I had my own car again it would be great...just like before I sneak out of the house and do my workouts and they are all sleeping pretty much when I come home. It was nice. Hope we hear about my husband's job, so I can know if I can get my own car again.

We had a great time today with the kids at the park again. They are so cute! I got a lot of cute pictures and I love them so much! I love my little family so much! Alhamdullilah for them! The weather was amazing! We also drove around, walked, had blue bubble-gum ice cream, oh and Tim Hortons coffee and ice cappuchinos! :P

Day 34 Round 2

See? My Plan for Tomorrow is always just an ideal...not always does it get complete :P

So for today I slept in and took a break instead but I did get there for BodyPump and BodyCombat and it was really great. This class was really fun tonight because it was a few tracks I never did before and it was a lot of work on the legs and butt...they were BURNING lol. I felt energized and rested. Then I kind of went a little overboard on some goodies this evening hehehe! Hope that doesn't put me behind. I really have to smarten up with my eating plan!

Day 34 September 3:

30min. BodyPump Express

1Hour BodyCombat

Plan for my Weekend!

To actually get there because I have not been to the gym on a weekend in a LONG LONNNG time! :P So lets just see how that works! IF I had my own car back I would definetely be there though.

Day 32: Weight & Measurement Check

It has been a few weeks since I did the measurements so I will call this one Day 32 and then I will do them every week from here. The first bracket I will not put inches lost just (-In) because I will put the weekly loss in there next week.

SO below I will put my last measurement loss BEFORE I left and then in brackets I will put what I gained while I was in UAE for 4.5 months...then once I am back to the previous measures, the brackets will disappear and then I will just InshaAllah (God Willing) continue on my way down :)

----------NOTE----------

"X" for WEIGHT is what I was from the beginning of November (in brackets is what I gained while away) and in (red brackets is what I have lost since Round 2 so 31 days)

"X" for INCHES is what I was from January 5 (In brackets right after the body part is what I lost since the Round 1 started and what I was before I went away, and after that is the TOTAL from January 5) GOT IT? :D

The RED in the red brackets is my gain from 4.5 months of doing nothing!

Weight:

X = -39 Lbs. (+23 Lbs. GAIN while I was away! YUCK!) (-8 Lbs. in 32 days)

So in those 6 weeks of ROUND ONE I lost: 15 Lbs.

Measurements: 42 days in Round 1 to lose the TOTAL Inches below, and here in red (brackets) is the how much I have left to lose to get back to what I was before I left. Waaaaah! If there is no red bracket it means I am back to or less than what I was before I left.

Right Arm (-In) so TOTAL = X - 1.75 In

Left Arm (-In) so TOTAL = X - 2.0 In

Bust (- In) so TOTAL= X - 4.0 In

Under Bust (-In) so TOTAL = X - 4.5 In (1 In to go)

Waist (-In) so TOTAL = X - 4.0 In (1 In to go)

Belly Button (-In) so TOTAL = X - 6.0 In(1 In to go)

Hips (- In) so TOTAL = X - 4.5 In

Bum (-In) so TOTAL = X - 3.25 In (1.25 In to go)

Right Thigh (-In) so TOTAL = X - 2.25 In (1 In to go )

Left Thigh (-In) so TOTAL = X - 2.25 In(1 In to go)

Right Calf (-In) so TOTAL = X - 0.75 In

Left Calf (-In) so TOTAL = X - 0.75 In (0.25 In to go)

--------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

TOTAL GAIN = 20.5 Inches (waaah) - Day 32 Round 2 LOSS so far = -14 Inches

ROUND 1 RESULTS for 6 WEEKS:

WEEK 6 TOTAL = 4.25 Inches

WEEK 5 TOTAL = 5.75 Inches

WEEK 4 TOTAL = 4.75 Inches

WEEK 3 TOTAL = 7.25 Inches

WEEK 2 TOTAL = -7.75 Inches

WEEK 1 TOTAL = - 6.25 Inches

--------------------------------------------------

GRAND TOTAL = - 36 Inches

Measurements are from the day I started working out (Jan2010), and NOT from the beginning...I did not measure back then because I was not wanting to know...so we will continue this way until the brackets with the weight-gain disappears, which many have already :)

Day 32.5

Well I woke up this morning and my husband felt like sleeping in (I really want my own car again! I hope soon, but we just have to make sure we are staying for a while) I was going to be able to make it to Hot Yoga, but I decided I can get all the classes in this evening and took a little break! So we got all showered and out of the house and headed to Tim Hortons to get our picnic...then we headed to beautiful Rocky Point Park...we had a great time...the kids played and we walked around the water. It is one of my favourite places and has beautiful views. So now I am back home. Kids are napping and relaxing until we go the the gym. So I will catch up with 55min. RPM, 1Hour BodyPump and finish the evening off with 75min. Hot Yoga with one of my favourite instructors Linda :) Such a relaxing class and so nice and warm in the room.

About Hot Yoga: At first I tried a trial class...I was alright with it, but I have little patience for holding these positions and was having a hard time just relaxing. But, I decided when I came back from UAE to add it to my gym package and have been going several times a week and I love it! I find that my last 3 classes I am much more patient and have the strength to hold the positions and I am really enjoying it. I love the warm room and you really sweat up a storm in there, so it is nice!

Well i did my measurements today so I will record them. I took a lot of days off, so it isn't dramatic or anything but I will record it so I can do it weekly again from now on.

Day 32 Round 2

I had a nice day today. I almost stuck to my plan but I was a little lazy this morning and that resulted in missing the fun BodyCombat class...but I still made it there, because my husband has appointments every morning close by with the physiotherapist. So, first off I dropped the kids off in the Jump Program they have at the gym...headed down to Tim Hortons and got some coffee and some breakfast for the kids...and since I missed the class anyways I was not on a time limit, so I sat in there and had coffee with the girls and fed my kids. Then an HOUR later hehehe maybe a little more...I went off to the stair-stepper...and did that for 2mins...got off and headed to the treadmill and did a 10min. incline walk...then I headed off to the Sauna for 30mins. to relax. Finally I had a shower and was finished for the morning knowing I would be able to make it up in the evening.

So then after our day...I went back to the gym and completed 55min. RPM, 1Hour BodyPump and 75min. Hot Yoga. Now I am just home relaxing on the couch after my nice shower. Going to watch a movie in my bed :)

Day 32 September 1:

2min. StairStepper

10min. Treadmill

30min. Sauna

------Break-----

55min. RPM

1Hour BodyPump

75min. Hot Yoga

Plan for Tomorrow:

55min. RPM or 1Hour BodyPump (depending what time I get there)

75min. Hot Yoga (Vinyasa I think)

------Break----

55min RPM

1Hour BodyPump (IF I didn't do in the morning)

75min. HotYoga

Anyways about my "Plan for Tomorrows"...those don't ever really happen exactly as I write them...I just look at the schedule and choose what I would ideally like to do...I will probably only do Hot Yoga in the morning because the other classes are also offered in the evening...but I would prefer RPM because it burns more calories and I CAN do RPM twice in one day and I have before...but BodyPump burns less calories but better to only do once in a day or once every two days because your muscles need the break. I HAVE done it twice in a day before and I would prefer to do RPM twice if I have to do one class twice tomorrow. But I hope I can get there for 9:15am for that RPM! The BodyPump starts 15mins. later but sometimes the early class seems hard to get to. Hot Yoga twice a day is fine for one day a week...it is nice and relaxing at the end of an evening :)

Well off I go to watch that movie...
