About
Hi, my name is Huma. I am 31 years old and live in Toronto, Canada. I’ve been married for six years, and we have two beautiful daughters. I’m currently on extended maternity leave and enjoying my time with my two girls.. ages 1 and 4. When I was working, I used to be a business analyst with the Government. Besides hanging out with my family, I love watching movies, painting, drawing, photography, traveling and reading.. all things that I haven’t really had time to do since I’ve been home with the kids.
I tried my hand at a home business, selling children’s shalwar kameezes.. these are traditional Pakistani clothes. I sold half of my inventory the first weekend, but haven’t really sold much since because of a lack of trying. Selling to my friends was very hard for me.. it just didn’t suit my personality. So now I’m searching for something else to do, but haven’t figured out what. If all else fails I will go back to my old job.
Before marriage I went to university and did a degree in mathematics. I know.. it sounds horrible.. it was. When I was in high school I loved everything about math.. and I wanted to be a math teacher. I loved the idea of teaching children to love math. I taught for one year at a private school while finishing my degree, and then landed a comfy job in the government with good pay and benefits. I got too comfortable, I guess.. so comfortable that I’ve put on some weight from my wedding weight of 160lbs.
This blog is my journey to making a difference in my life. I’m looking to lose weight and improve my health. Currently, I’m using the Fat Smash diet.. and looking to lose 60-70 pounds. I’m starting this journey at 213 pounds and I will let you know how it goes.
