water weakness

Day 3.

As it seems, I have made it to day three! alhamdulillah (thank god in Arabic). I must admit it feels good to not have given up. So as I did not do a post yesterday, I just want to let you know that it went okay. I did notice one thing though: at the most, I had 4 (16.9oz) bottles of water yesterday [which is a total of 50.7oz]. This is way less than the half of my body weight [130.5 oz] in water that is the least I should be drinking if not more. So, we went to Applebee's for my sister's birthday, and bam! as soon as we get there, it's like I forgot about my water intake completely. I didn't even get to finish my food [mostly due to the one cup of raspberry lemonade I drank before the appetizers came]. 

My weakness is juice [luckily I've so far, completely stayed away from soda]. But after talking with a classmate, she suggested that I make fruit infused water overnight to drink during the day. She let me taste some [infused with strawberry] and I have to admit, it DOES make water that much more easier to drink. We have lemon at home, so I'll make some tonight to drink tomorrow.

The workout yesterday was great! I haven't done the workout for today yet, but it will be done before midnight.

So that in the future I can see progress, I'll begin posting photos of me. :)

the day after sunday

Day 1.

Today I began my workout [which was emotional]. I was going going going [for 15 minutes straight] with the moderator [Tanya] of Shaun T's T25 Cardio workout session. Suddenly, I pressed pause after being very very thirsty and just cried. I laid down trying to catch my breath thinking to myself: "why did I allow myself to get this big", "maybe I should stop now" and "I can always start tomorrow". Needless to say [but I will], I got my butt up and finished those last 16 minutes of that video.

Three things got me through my dreadful thoughts:

1. I'm working with a partner [four days separately] and it wouldn't be fair if I quit.

2. i REALLY [and I mean really] want to wear a pair of jeans after [I don't know how long].

3. I thought of this pin [that I can't find but will link later] that said "you will thank yourself a year from now that you didn't quit".<---- I love that!

So as it is day 1, I took my measurements (inches):

Looking forward to taking those before and after pictures! :)
