–5:18 PM–
Great day to you’ll.
August the 9th is my birthday. 28 years ago at seven PM I was delivered into this world. My day started out with a smile when I saw this;
It was outstanding to see the thing I wanted to do long time ago is starting to materialize. I knew I wanted to write long time ago I even wrote in several forums before deciding that I wanted to initiate a blog. I was very active on Facebook but then ended up that it could be not very productive specially for an Egyptian considering that most of the posts are about political stuff mostly sarcastic.
I wouldn’t say that it really mattered but I wasn’t very happy that my birthday hasn’t been remembered by many. I wouldn’t say that I’m alone but I am a loner partly because of being in medical profession where sedentary life prevails but also because I’d rather hold on to a few people I could trust than being open to meaningless relations which is quite a trend those days with the fast paced life and all.
I was planning to take the day off but I woke up half an hour before Iftar and decided it would be great to go through my Pilates abs ritual. I ended up doing 20 star jumps as a bonus for my birthday 🙂
In the evening I followed Zuzana Light in her ZWOW #25. My time is way better than last time at 21 minutes. She did it in 13 minutes so I know I still have a long way to go.
Here is how I looked like right after;
Me covered in “Pearls of Resilience” aka sweat right after a vigorous workout!
At the age of 28 someone lie Arnold Schwarzenegger was defending his Mr Olympia title for a fifth time as far as I could remember while I’m still trying to get back to fit me. Not that I’m trying to compare my life to Arnie’s life which is miraculous from where I’m but what I’m trying to state is that I have made my choices and God knows I have my mistakes too but in the midst of it all I’m still finding a way to put a smile on my face and way of doing it is pursuing a dream I have and taking a leap of faith.
Well that’s pretty much it for today. My nutrition is in check, I ate a whole lot of fruits mostly cherries and blackberries. I love ’em 🙂
Follow @springnation me and witness my transformation as I make it!
Peace.
