First of all ignore the weird message on the shirt. I got this hijab friendly training suit from Modanisa like 4 years ago and I still use it because I absolutely love it. But that’s a weird message right there so ignore ignore.
Last year I contacted a personal trainer online coach to help me with my diet, workout program and change my old bad habits to new good ones. Alhamdolillah she opened up my eyes to a lot of things I didn’t actively think about during my daily life. I lost 6 cm around my waist last year and then it stopped due to moving around and not really having a clear daily routine. The good news though is that I did NOT gain any weight since last year in November, so I guess that I did learn a lot from the PT and actually used the tools that she gave me.
This year I’m aiming to lose 12kg! I know it sounds a lot but by losing 1kg/month I’ll most probably reach my goal in December Inshallah. It’s February now and I’ve already lost 2kg by drinking 2L of water daily and cutting down on the sugar. AND I’M SO HAPPY!!!!! My body is in need for training though and yesterday my body was craving a workout session. The gyms in Sweden are actually open but I hate working out in my hijab and walk out in the snow to reach the gym. Hahaha YES I’m lazy! So I searched for my jump rope, got my gym clothes on and started skipping at home. I did some jumping jacks, squats, bridges and crunches too. It took me 30 minutes to do the workout and I felt so energized afterwards. LOVED it! I look forward to todays workout even though my calve muscles are HURTING because I forgot to stretch yesterday.
I actually have a dream in my dream jar that says that I want to weigh between 55-56kg before I turn 30. In 3 years I’ll be 30 Inshallah and I really really hope that I will reach that dream as soon as possible. Otherwise I will feel so unsuccessful. I know that maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be challenging when I’ve been living unhealthy for so long now. But I’m very optimistic and I look forward to the day when I’ll stand on the scale and see the number 56. But I’ll be even more happy to see myself in the mirror with the body that I’ve dreamt of during the last couple of years now.
I wish myself a fun and healthy weight loss journey!
