Still Kicking..
I’m still around, just doing my thing. My sister in law was back here for a week to get things organized for when she moves out here for school in September. I also had a meeting with my work and they are considering a part time arrangement for me. I don’t know if this is what I wanted, but here I am doing it. I guess I will know once I start back to work in October if I made the right decision or not.
Yumna starts school in September, Safi starts daycare in October. Things are falling into place, whether I wanted them to or not. I know I can’t continue the way things are going. I am pretty down. I don’t feel like doing anything.. not even blogging, which is why you haven’t heard from me lately.
Ramadan has started, so we are fasting from sunrise to sunset for the next month. It has been hard, but not as hard as I was expecting. I thought it would be very hard, considering I haven’t fasted in three years. Last year I was breastfeeding Safi, and the year before that I was pregnant, so I was exempt from fasting. When I last fasted, the fasts ended around 6:30 pm, now they end around 8:00 pm.
I’ve not really been exercising, but my food intake is good. The fasting helps with that.. but I am making a strong point to drink a lot of water in the hours when I am allowed to. I’m weighing in but not really considering the numbers too much since I have been fasting and the numbers are probably lower than they should be.

they are lowered because of the fasting, but that doesn’t make them artificial numbers. they are still good numbers.
Sorry you are down.
:: hugs ::
There you are!! I was wondering where you were. Sorry things are feeling not-quite-right for you… I hope everything falls into place, and in a way that makes you feel happy.
Hang in there!
i’m so with you. i was away for almost 2 months. just didn’t feel like tracking, blogging, reading, etc. glad you’re back.
Nice to see you back
I’m sure once you get back to work and enjoy some adult conversation you’ll be happy- and it’s good for the girls to adjust without you around- I’m sure Safi will love daycare
I couldn’t fast because of my PCOS not eating all day would really hurt me.
I don’t let my mom do it anymore either- she’s crazy to try and fast when she has high blood pressure and so on. Though I know sick people aren’t supposed to fast anyways- the last time she did it she became so ill I put my foot down lol.
