Arab an' awesome since '93.
Aspiring polyglot.
Wicked case of wanderlust.
Forever a student. Forever a nerd.
In a cage and fighting to get out.
Trying to be healthy.
On the road to my dreams.
For the first time in my life, I was on my feet for five hours straight. I feel bad for complaining, but if this doesn’t help me lose weight, I don’t know what will.
So long as I keep myself from “sampling” ice cream all day.

I have come to realize that your presence in my life is necessary for my success. If I tumble, I eat well. I need you.
I wish there was something to remind me to go on tumblr everyday. So sad, so strange, how my eating habits are dependent on a computer.
Things aren’t looking too good. I gained weight. Again. See what happens when I leave you? Gross.
Anyway, I’ve been doing Power 90 for about a month now—obviously haven’t seen any results. But, I’m suuuper excited—this summer, I’ve signed up to take not one, but TWO p.e. classes: “cardio kickboxing” and “hips, thighs and abs.” Doesn’t that sound fun? I’ve taken the latter before, it was a bitch but I deff want to kick butt this time. Cardio kickboxing just sounds bad ass. So excited. I’m a little worried that it’ll be too much though, since they’re right after each other and all—the first one starts at 6:30 in the morning! Craycray. I’m gonna email the teacher and ask, but I’m sure it’ll be fine. There was this one girl in my class the first time around who was doing it, and we were at around the same fitness level at the time—that is, pretty darn bad. I intend to start the C25k sometime soon, just not anytime within the next week or two…it’s almost finals. Anyway, I have a test and an essay do tomorrow, so I better get running. I missed you, baby tumblr. mwah!

First time in my life. Literally. No time I have to come home, no one I have to listen to. The opportunity to do whatever I want.

4. Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try!
I reaallly want to do this, but I’m traveling at the moment, so yeah. Can’t really..I’m on a train right now and even the “vegetable” option has ranch dressing, which has dairy…I’m definitely going to try this in the near future though! Next Thursday, fosho.

3. Is your UGW in an “unhealthy“ range of BMI?
I don’t think so. I think it’s the lowest healthy weight for my height. :)

2. Describe your dream/goal body.
Ah. This will take a while.
Starting from the top: my cheeks will deplete a little so that my cheekbones will be more prominent, and so my dimples show more. They’ll be able to show even when I just have a slight smirk, or when I’m chewing. (they were like that when I was skinnier.) I’ll have a slim neck, that looks longer, and I won’t have the slightest hint of a double chin. My collar bones will peek through, enough so that a necklace wouldn’t lay straight on them. My shoulders will be broader and stronger, and I’ll have toned arms, with my muscles visible, nothing hanging when I lift them up, My wrist will look small and dainty and my fingers will be slender. My breasts will be smaller and less obtrusive, nothing sticking out past the sides of my rib cage. My stomach will be flat, with just the slightest hint of a six-back. My back will be muscular, strong, and straight, with my muscles rippling as a raise my arms. My butt will be smaller, but round, and my hip bones will just barely show through. My thighs will not touch, and they’ll be strong and muscular so they won’t double in size when I sit down. My calves will be toned and slender, but still muscular. Even my feet will loose that bit of fat that envelopes them. But most importantly, my body will be capable of doing what I want it to do. It will be able to run a seven minute mile, and kick someone’s ass. It will be able to lift heavy things with no struggle, and it’ll be capable of doing at least 20 push-ups and pull-ups. It will be flexible and supple.
That was a really specific dream. My ideal body is never going to be that exactly, but it will definitely have some of those traits. Yay!

Imma do this to keep me on track, and to keep me visiting tumblr. Else I’ll forget, and mess up again. WOOT.
1. Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight?
Height: 5’3”
Current Weight: 160
Goal Weight: 105
I’m losing weight to gain confidence. I know I have all this confidence built up inside of me, I’m just too afraid to show it. I guess I don’t feel the way I look on the outside fits the person I really am inside. And I’ve always wanted to be fit and healthy and muscular. I am by nature a really competitive person and I want to participate in all these events and race people and hike and stuff, but I don’t want to do it as I am now because I know I’ll lose. And of course, the usual stuff, be healthy, wear cute clothes, impress people, go tanning, etc. :]
