Yosh!!!!

Ok. I had to stop my cleanse for a few weeks. I know, I know, I'm such a loser.

As of today, I have about 2 and 1/2 months before we leave for the states. I want there to be a significant change in my appearance and physical strength at that time. Let's see how far I can go before that time comes. Update:

weight: 1o5 kilos ( 231 pounds)

Pants size: 20

Shirt size: 18

I'll get exact measurements of waist , thighs, arms and hips later today inshallah. So what do I plan to do about my lack of hotness? For one, time for protected sex again. People always get pregnant when they least want it or expect it. I don't even want to deal with a miscarriage right now. Second, today I'm restarting my cleanse. Third, today I'm re-enrolling in the gym and this time, by God, I will stay there until it's time for me to hit the States.

I plan to swim three times a week for 90 minutes. I plan to walk at least 5 miles three days a week, and ride a stationery bike 10 miles three days a week. I'll also throw in some weights three days a week because muscle burns off fat and building muscle builds strength. The stronger I am, the better I can work out. Lastly, No cake, soda (even diet), fried foods, candy or red meat. More fruits and vegetables. Let's see how well I do with the first week of Operation: Hotness or Bust! I expect it to be hard. I expect I'll get discouraged plenty of times. But I plan to stick with it, inshallah.

Now, since I'll be working my tired muscles, initially I'll see an increase in my weight on the scale, but I'll be slimming down. The reason for this is because muscle weighs more than fat. I need to remind myself, though, that I AM slimmer and the added weight is muscles. Ok, so today is the first day. Those of you reading, wish me luck. Even an inch gone from my waist is an improvement.
