Im an Addict

Ive been sick for the past week, i dont mind being sick but whats disappointing is that i cant go to the gym. Its amazing how i miss going to gym, its like im addicted to it now. Yes i do have those days when i dont feel like going but i end up going. I havent being gymin properly for the past two weeks, i went to Oman so couldnt really gym and when i came back i was too tired to go and this week im sick. Its amazing how my life has changed since starting the Body for Life program, guess its for the better. We dont have like sweets and chocolates and chips and junk food at home, and i dont even know when last we had cooldrink in the fridge. Now its filled with fat free yogurt, low fat cottage cheese, fish, chicken breasts, lotsa bottles of water. Did i say i need to go to the gym, im startting to sound like an addict. I guess its becuase when u doing exercise ur brain releases hormones that makes u feel good, similar to when u take drugs so u like crave that feeling, Hectic. The best part of gyming and eating correctly is when u notice the changes in ur body, my pants are all starting to hang, some of my long sleeve tshirts all of a sudden seem too long for me, the sleeves like hang over my fingertips, and i can notice the shape of my body changing, i can see muscle in places i never thought would exist on my body.
So for those who are reading this try it out it works.
It jus means now that i have to add two more weeks to my 3month program :(

To Oman and Back

I went to Oman and im Back again. It was a really tiring journey. I left on thurs morning from South African and returned on Sunday.
I went for a job interview and i got the job. I am just awaiting the salary offer now to finalise my decision. Oman is a beautiful country, the people are friendly and i had a lovely time. The only thing is that it is really hot there. It is winter there now and its like 32 degrees. So if everything goes well my family and I will be leaving for Oman sometime in January. Its a 3 year contract so i wont be gone forever. Im really excited about going as it will be a new challenge, and i will be doing something i really enjoy doing. I will be training users on a computer application program. Its different being in an Arab country after living in a western country all my life, the best part is that everything is Halaal, u dont have to worry abt that, u can walk into any restuarant and just eat. It is a bit of a culture shock but i guess i will get used to it. I am just hoping that the change wont affect Nafeesa too much.
So all i can do now is wait.
