Hip Hip.. gone away!

For years and years now, I have been touched by the special flavor and atmosphere of Ramadan. All the family gathers by sunset is highly not possible at any other month, due to different work schedules. The price we pay for living “the urban life” that we have.

Although my working schedule wasn’t dramatically affected by that holly month, yet I have been lucky to spend some more time with the person I’ve neglected most…me.

It’s like having once in a 12 month chance to be a little more relaxed and spiritual. In addition to indulging yourself with serenity and a peace of mind you won’t get before a year from now. Besides enjoying the solitude of faith and breathing deeply.

This year, I was blessed to have sometime of and sort my life out, rearranging priorities, and amending my dusty “new year’s resolution.

After 30 days of working hard I am so very proud of what I have accomplished so far, for being persistent and constant. I am even prouder for achieving my hardest target, which was weight loss. Ramadan this year helped me a lot in maintaining good health habits like sleeping early; being more organized , but most importantly it helped me stay healthy and in shape by shedding those pounds off.

I feel more powerful, more beautiful and more confident about myself. My greatest challenge now would be resisting all of those yummy mammool cookies!
