Weigh in Week 1

 

As-salamu alaykum beauties, so this morning was my 1st weigh in and Alhamdulilah week 1’s weight loss stands at 2kgs. I have to admit that I had lost more weight during the week but gained it all back yesterday as I gave myself the day off since it was Mother’s Day (couldn’t resist the treats). Happy belated mother’s day to all mothers by the way.

 

This week’s goal is to lose 3.4kgs I know that I am going to have to be very, very good to achieve that goal and will have to do some serious exercising.

I found that during the week I am very good with my diet but weekends are my weakness as there is so much more temptation around, with weekend take-outs, Sunday lunches and their like.

 

Before and After Inspiration of the Week:

Beautiful transformation…

Celebrity Inspiration of the Week:

None other than my favourite gal Kourtney Kardashian

 

 

Losing weight is hard work and lots of dedication. Hope to be 3.4 lighter next week this time Insha Allah.

 

 

 

 

Weekly Hijabi Outfit Inspiration - Teal Tiger!

As-salamu alaykum ladies and Jumuah Mubarak to all. I found this scarf online and just had to put create a set around it and decided to use it as this weeks weekly hijabi outfit inspiration.

 

I LOVE animal print!
See how well this hijab goes with this beautifully stylish dress and trendy accessories.

 

 

Hope I inspired you gals to guide your modesty and remember: A women modestly dressed is like a pearl in a shell.

Enjoy the weekend Insha-Allah.

 

 





 

Seeing Jacquard

I know, I know, I said I would put a hold on all clothing shopping for a while, but the CBD is cold and rainy today lovely weather Alhumdulilah however I am not dressed the part (Note to self: Make time to plan outfits for work).

So off I dash to Mr Price who happens to be right across the road from my office building (sometimes a blessing sometimes a curse) to get myself something warm to cover up with.

From the top rail a gorgeous jacquard cardigan was calling my name. Not very practical for work but perfect for lazy Sundays…I was inlove.

I always find it very difficult to leave Mr Price without an accessory or two so I got me some multistrand faux pearls, a twisted ring stack and gloves too. Here are some pics of my latest buys.

 

 

Point Four Score!!!

Pleasantly surprised that this morning I am point four lighter if things keep going this way I am well on my way to a trimmer me YAY!!!

I have to admit I was super hungry last night as I lay in bed, watching yet another episode of Mickey Mouse Club House with Safaa aka boss of the TV and all things fun in our home LOL, and i credit that hunger to Zain eating my 2nd piece of haddock i planned on having. So I opted for some dried fruit as a snack and even felt guilty about that as it was not in the initial plan to eat anything after 7pm.

 Supper was divine last night a refreshing change from the usual and even Zain enjoyed it Alhamdulilah.
We had steamed smoked haddock with some mixed veg consisting of baby marrows, carrots, green beans and broccoli, and the freshest Low GI whole-wheat bread. Wish I had a pic but have to admit I was way too hungry to take a pic all i could think of was devouring that beautiful meal.
I have decided to cook healthy at least twice a week for the rest of the family too Insha Allah since even my Safaa enjoyed the steamed haddock for her we just added some mashed potatoes though.
Needless to say my 1st day went very well I have to say i hope to have many more healthy eating days like yesterday.

Life is good Alhamdulilah :)

Old Me New Me

I am not changing myself because the old me isn’t good enough I am changing the old me simply because the new me could be better.

Getting on the scale this morning I had the biggest shock ever. #somanykilos!!! I have never been this heavy and have to admit I would never want anyone to know that I am this heavy at least not until I have lost a good couple of kgs.

I just discovered this weekend that most of cloths do not fit anymore and realise that i keep buying bigger sizes. So i vow today to stop buying cloths no matter what up until i have at least lost half of my goal, I have asked hubby to make sure of this and to not fall for my persuasive tricks in moments of weakness.

My quest is this: To shed these unwanted kilos i have not given myself a time frame for this yet and don’t think that i will Allah knows best.

Why would I like to do this?

·       To look and feel my age again

·       To fit into those results of expensive splurges I have hanging in my closet

·       To be healthy and strong for my kids and hubby

·       To feel attractive and confident

·       To look good for my husband again

·       To be a good example and inspiration to my daughters.

·       To have healthy pregnancies in the future

·       To feel good inside

So here goes day one of and hopefully not so long journey Insha Allah. I pray that the almighty guides me through this, keep, me focused and makes it easy breezy like only Allah can J

Before and after inspiration of the week: This girl looks so much more confident on her after pic...

Looking good = Feeling good= Projecting good

Celebrity Inspiration of the week:

MINIMUM EXPOSURE MAXIMUM STYLE ;)

 

So here goes. Here’s to a stronger, happier healthier me J

 

Welcome to my blog

As-salamu alaykum all and welcome to my blog. This blog has been a loooong way coming but as life has it I am a mommy, daughter, wife, big sister and business intelligence consultant all wrapped in one Alhamdulilah.

The blog initially was to showcase the things I love, focusing primarily on trendy stylist modest fashion and inspiring both me and other young Muslimahs to protect their outer beauty.
This blog will continue its cause as well as expose my thoughts, ideas and opinions of it all but wait there’s more…

After having two babies in two years Alhamdulilah merged with many many meals on the go and impulsive late night snack runs to our 24 hour Macdonalds with hubby I find myself being way overweight and needing to shed some weight, well lots of weight LOL. So I decided to include my weight loss journey into this blog.

Hope you like
