Salaam Sisters,

So I started my diet yesterday and so far so good.

Here's my routine:

7am...Wake up eat 1 eggwhite and a whole egg with 2 pieces of turkey bacon.. I will eat this almost everyday... I find when I eat the same things it easier for me to diet.

8:30am... Go to the gym I tend to take a bodyworks with weight class, step, or zumba class for about 40 mins

1pm.. Lunch chicken breast salad fruit

4pm snack.. yogurt, apple sauce, or fruit

7pm... Dinner .. I eat everything the kids and hubby eat but the carbs .. instead of rice or pasta I  will eat beans(red,black or pinto).. and dessert ( frozen yogurt, or anything health and under 150 calories)

8pm... Gym again .. if I cant make the Gym P90X...

10pm bed

I wouldnt eat  junk at all, during the week .. I will allow myself junk only on saturday

My Measurements:

Weight.. 168  (the most I ever been in my life)
Fat %... 42.7%
Bust.. 37.5 in
Waist.. 39 in
Hips... 44 in
I will Measure myself  once a week

Here's pic of my breakfast and dinner .. I forgot to take a pic of my lunch

Old School Family Pictures, New sewing project.

Salaam Sisters,

Hope your week is going well so far.

I went to H&M last week and found some aswome finds .. I'm going to do a video on my H&M haul this week sometime.. They had a great sale going on and I racked up... Well I was there I realized  the biggest thing on my wish list is,  LONG TANK TOPS to wear under my shirt to make it more modest .. I did find a few in H&M but there were not as long as i will like them .. so I decided that will be my next sewing project... I think I'm going to make a pattern with a shirt I have that is long enough and go from there .. I will use a thin jersey material... hope it comes out good ...lol.. I'll post everything once I get it together.

On another note....
I was looking through some boxes today and I found this old school pictures of my mom, dad, and one of me and bahiyah that I wanted to share .. One is of  my mom with hijab and abaya when she was maybe 20... My dad in with a turban he was in his 20's too and me & bahiyah as little kids .. How cute!!!

Tag & HOOTD

ASA Ladies,

Here my second tag .. thanks UmmSultana !!!

You walk into the store and you see a scarf or dress in multiple colors. Which color do you choose and why? You can choose based on 3 motivations:

1. I choose because I love the color!
2. I choose because this particular color looks good on me!
3. I choose because this color is in season now and is really trendy!

My Answer:  "I would choose colors that look best on me "  I tend to pick blacks, greys, blues and Creams... I like red, green and pink as well but I dont own much of those colors... I do wear brighter colors in the summer but for all the rest of the seasons it my normal colors.
