    Thanks Boskana!! Managed to go to the gym last night before iftaar...but had a huge headache and dizziness afterwards (i think i maybe over did the exercises - 15 min stepper, 20min treadmill and 12 min bike. Although, felt much better after iftaar but extremely exhausted. I think i'll give today a miss and try again on friday.

    I also made a desert,
    http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/07/skinny-strawberry-fool.html#more

    mine wasnt as pretty as hers, but it was soooooooooo good, and i used half of what the recipe says, also i used Kroger vanilla Greek yogurt.... i tried the blue agave nectar, as sweetener its pretty good u cant taste no difference, but it has more calories, so next time i will try it with Stevie-a cuz that has 0 calories.

    yeah .. i know.. but you don't know my trainer.. she is a mean chick.. really.. !!! No i can't tell her what i ate last night.. i mean she will have a fit.. she will be so angry and disapp. she might actually quit on me.. nope this is my lil secret..
    ... nope.. don't know why i gained.. not sure .. .. "..

    but here - take it from my experience.. it was nice while i ate it... but when i was done- i just felt loaded and heavy.. had to go straight to sleep ! woke up with a weired feeling of bloated and hungry at the same time- the ice cream completely confused me - wasn't a nice experience really.
    Not going back to it..

    That Chicken Santa Fe looks delish!!!!
    Yumm Banana Split, can't remember if I've ever had a banana split. My desert is three pieces of two bite macaroons.

    I can't keep water down...it fills me up that I can't even eat properly. I try to get in about five 500ml bottles(3 at iftaar and 2 at Suhoor) but because of the short period of time I end up drinking it quickly and thus causing me to get bloated.

    I need to eat more greens!!! So far I've only had a salad and 4 broccoli pieces in the past three days...Aaargh
    TOM is coming it seems which is earlier than normal...I was actually hoping to have it while on the second level of 30 day shred as that level is intense and I wanted to be not fasting all day when I do that level...oh well I guess no choice.

    I'm still in!! Thanks for the motivation everyone.

    Aug 1 - Missed
    Aug 2 - 2 x 20 mins walk (to and from station to work)
    Aug 3- 2 x 20 mins walk, stepper 15mins, treadmill, 20 mins and bike 12 mins
    Aug 4- 2 x 20 mins walk

    As far as food is concerned, i had a really wobbly start, and still have a wobble here and there but aiming to eat fruits to break my fast and then my regular evening meal instead of over doing the snacks. Problem is i really feel like something sweet after my meal and ended up eating a whole Bounty bar last might (aaaarrrrgh!!)

    Could do with a few more friends. Please feel free to add me.

    same here.........it feels me up so quickly that my stomach hurts after, and i have trouble praying, so what i did last night, i was drinking less at iftaar and more at suhoor...i guess we just have to be ok with the less water this month, you cant make ur self sick from water!! I am not going to, i am just going to listen to my body and give it water as much as my body feels like having and not force myself.

    heard it from a nutritionist not to take any fluid with meals and scientifically it right it dilutes the digestive enzymes and i heard its sunnah to not to take more 2-3 little sip btw meals (not very sure correct if im wrong)

    so i take my water btw my meals so far i havent feel bloated coz of water atleast during this ramadan, but yes i havnt gone above 4 cups of water yet

    Sleep deprevation is killing me, hence the lack of participation. I've been walking as I have no energy to exercise, i'm feeling down cause i'm losing muscle definition and I feel soft.. And walking is too boring!

    Therefore I try and eat 'healthy'

    I'm still here. My food choices are poor right now, but that is largely due to the fact I'm waiting to get paid (insh'Allah, tomorrow) so I can buy healthier foods. I live with my parents and they do NOT eat healthy at all. So, it's hard when all there is to eat here is unhealthy stuff to begin with . However, alhamdulilah, I've been keeping under my calorie intake most days. (I missed it by about 50 calories or so yesterday 'cuz my family ordered Chinese food).

    Exercise, on the other hand, I've been doing okay on. Been doing calisthenics mostly. Since it's TOM, I've been doing my exercise in the evening before bed. But, once TOM is over, I'll be doing it again before suhoor, insh'Allah. I love doing calisthenics. Yesterday I also did some walking in addition to my calisthenics (was trying to compensate for the Chinese food).

    Yes I heard also you should never drink water with your meals, you should drink it before and after at least 30mins. Because it creates slush in your body(food+water)...but because I have a small amount of time to eat and drink it's hard to follow this. But I'll get more watermelon maybe :)
