It is that time of the year again, to look fit and to get a man. Now, first of all, part one I can do, looking fit isn't a problem. The problem is part two, getting a man.
My environment is just not suitable for that.
I am just kidding.
It is summer in Saudi Arabia and everyone is going to the coastal areas to get the best holidays. Well, I will soon enjoy mine on Monday.
At the mean time, I am on this summer diet... called The Low Calorie Diet. So far I have managed to lose 10 kgs in a week, which is awesome, since genetically that kind of blessing doesn't occur often. I have accompanied my diet with regular exercises that I do every morning. So far so good.
I have stayed away from sugar quite well and have implemented nutritious meals that will keep me fuller for longer.
Why am I on a diet? Well, as soon as you get to Saudi you will realize why. The traditional food is packed with serious carbs and loads of saturated fats. For example, kabsa, which is a traditional meal here is not a good way to fill up. Secondly, there is no place for anyone to really get a proper work out. So you are pretty doomed.
However I decided to take matters into my own hands and to do something about it.
All I am saying I don't want to look like Cindy Crawford or Tyra Banks, I just want to look 10 kg lighter than what I am right now.
All my friends that know me are telling me that I am crazy for wanting to lose that weight. However, I need a change and need to feel better about myself when I look into that mirror.
It is really refreshing to wake up at 5:00 am in the morning and to get a nice work out before the Saudi sun roasts you. After that I do my salat and then go to work or just sit at home (I know, that is so me to sit around in the house).
However, to live healthily and to really keep the weight down is possible in Sakakah. You just got to really plan it well and use the space you have in the compound to exercise.
I attempted to learn how to swim, but half way in my attempt, I got a spark. Swimming isnt for African girls. I mean, while I was learning how to swim, I didn't care about anything but my hair. It isn't the end of the world not knowing how to swim, that is why floating devices have been created....for sisters that just want to enjoy a splash here and there.
So, keep your fingers crossed as I am attempting to achieve my goal weight and to be in top shape.
Don't worry, I am not starving myself, I don't live on air and water.
I have managed to work out a well balanced diet, which consist of dairy, fruit, veggies and some proteins.
You also want to know what is the motive behind it all??? Well I won't lie,I need to find a suitable partner to get married. I might not find one here in Saudi, but when I do go on my holidays to Turkey,South Africa or other part of the world, I might just get lucky.
Happy Summers!
