I hadn't posted in so long and my weight has since fluctuated up and down but I think I have a grip on it now, inshaAllah. I want to start fasting next week to make up my Ramadan fasts and I am curious what that will do for my diet. I went on a biz trip with the hubs and that threw me off completely! subhanaAllah. That's why it has taken me so long to get back in stride. <br />
<br />
Monday, Wednesday and Friday I do my little workout.<br />
<br />
Friday is my cheat day.::Tuttie::.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16998039088396426418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510672627244737496.post-6126408201967995392011-04-17T09:55:00.000-04:002011-04-17T09:55:12.938-04:00down to 148.8lbssince last weigh in: 152.8lbs<br />

I am a little confused. I had some blood work done this past Friday and the doc gave me the results yesterday. Even though I started this diet with 38% body fat I am actually really healthy. My cholesterol is normal, blood pressure, vit. D, RBC count. I was really expecting some horrible news.

Adding those 4 measurements up I got a total of 116mm which roughly translates to 38% body fat for someone 5'3" and 25 years old. I was going to get it done via bodpod or DEXA, but one couldn't find one nearby and two I am not cool with the radiation specially after my recent miscarriage.<br />
<br />
My starting weight is 156.6lbs (I weighed in at 160 at the doctors office during the pregnancy). <br />
<br />
my weight X percentage of fat = how many lbs of fat I have<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>156.6lbs X .38 = 59.5lbs of body fat</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>156.6lbs- 59.5lbs = 97.1 lbs of lean body mass.</b></span><br />
<br />
Using the orbitape I measured my bicep, bust, waist, hip and thigh the total inches was =142.5 inches. I will just be reporting over all inches lost publicly..::Tuttie::.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16998039088396426418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510672627244737496.post-72551146809272277942011-03-22T17:57:00.000-04:002011-03-22T17:57:21.515-04:00what gets measured gets managedSalaams!<br />
<br />
I am starting a new phase in my life inshaAllah. I am recovering from a miscarriage, have 30lbs over my I deal weight, two beautiful children, loving hubs who also wants to lose weight and clothes that no longer fit. Alhamdulillah. I will be doing the Slow-Carb diet by Tim Ferriss <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41OSuh5vFDL._SS500_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41OSuh5vFDL._SS500_.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

not all of it is halal so I will be avoiding the haraam advice. I like him as an author and after reading the book and purchasing the needed equipment I am ready to try more vigorously. I am still waiting for some tools to arrive in the mean time I will be posting my weight loss on this blog as well as inches lost as well. Seeing how I don't necessarily want to divulge my figure's figures nor would hub appreciate it I will only say I lost x amt of inches today or I lost a total amount of x inches. <br />
<br />
That way I can still record it.<br />
<br />
I am soo excited!.::Tuttie::.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16998039088396426418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510672627244737496.post-29461224640887100112010-09-29T23:27:00.000-04:002010-09-29T23:27:52.440-04:00trying to go back to my pre pregger weight<div style="text-align: justify;">"it took 9 months to put it on...its ok if it takes you 9 months to take it off..."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My baby girl was born on Sept 18, 2010 at 11:55 pm! Alhamdulillah, totally enjoying her and my toddler, I am tandem nursing and the weight is just melting off me. I am trying to eat more and have constant fluids because, alhamdulillah these kiddos can eat. (btw my toddler is eating food regularly but I still nurse him to sleep or when he gets hurt, he is 23 months old and I will stop inshaAllah @ 30 months or before if he weans himself).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">yup, am back trying to lose some baby weight. At 9 months and ready to pop I was around 160-162lbs. My starting weight was 146, just weighed myself and I am 148-149 lbs so I lost about 14 or so pounds. ALHAMDULILLAH.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So far though I might just put on all that weight again because staring at me right now are a whole bunch of entenmanns goodies, ALL BUTTER loaf caked, cheese danish twist, Marshmallow iced devil's food cake, marble loaf cake and some other ones. SO OH MY GOD do I need to watch it. My first baby boy my starting weight was 130lbs so I am hoping to go back to that weight. I also remember that for one month after birth I ate all kinds of junk food and gained a bunch of weight surpassing my prego weight. Inshaallah I don't do it this time. Make du'a for me!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I drank chicha morada that I made with my friend the day before Ramadan.<br />
<br />
<br />
For suhoor I had that lamb stew with Okra, white rice, a side dish of sliced tomatoes w/ lemon juice and chicha for the drink.<br />
<br />
Since I am currently about 34 weeks pregnant I am taking it as easy as possible during the day. With a toddler though that isn't always possible. I did make up 4 days of fasting during <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sha%27aban" title="Sha'aban">Sha'aban</a> the last one I completed on the 28th. So my first fast of Ramadan wasn't the first I was doing that was so long (nearly 16hrs) none the less being as preggers as I am it still has some discomfort. InshaAllah I am able to get through this month without any issues. Ya'll be making du'a for me right?<br />
<br />
I want a healthy pregnancy, easy natural delivery (preferably home birth like my first) and a quick recovery. That my child is born healthy without any mental, physical or emotional deficiencies.

It's not a huge belly or anything but I just noticed that there was more of it so I turned to the hubs to ask his opinion. He looked suspicios and thought it was a set up. After giving him the "you are darned if you do and darned if you don't" look he complied and agreed.<br /><br />SO what I think I have been loosing has been BAD weight. Meaning that I had lost MUSCLE weight instead of fat. crapiola! I need to start exercising. I know I have been saying it for quite some time but I want to get healthy not just loose weight.<br /><br />ps someone emailed me the following pic and wanted to share with you.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The CORRECT way to weigh ourselves</span></span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMh98KQMyOPYefaufCpGzBr_wMelfvgy1QpeMax1Tk_7B2oP5Fh-M_YXriPOii9yj_LoIxezebqRwv1S0AZ6pVS4Usj1w3QCoGMaWFp6oQLRUu8GJCChqIjN_gTvG_LoLLqrsYbVAIgLE/s1600-h/ATT00001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 310px; height: 328px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMh98KQMyOPYefaufCpGzBr_wMelfvgy1QpeMax1Tk_7B2oP5Fh-M_YXriPOii9yj_LoIxezebqRwv1S0AZ6pVS4Usj1w3QCoGMaWFp6oQLRUu8GJCChqIjN_gTvG_LoLLqrsYbVAIgLE/s400/ATT00001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417962664686526770" border="0" /></a>.::Tuttie::.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16998039088396426418noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510672627244737496.post-49466351214312415222009-12-17T02:44:00.001-05:002009-12-17T03:04:03.302-05:00omg no weight gain!alhamdulillah!
