First Week Check In



Over all during the first 7 days, it was a bumpy ride to consistency and discipline. So out of the three criteria of the challenge, training Ab, Running and stretching for a perfect split, I managed to meet Abs and Running more than stretching for the perfect split.  

 The first day was such a bust, but you live and you learn we can agree to that. 

 My main problem was the place issue, the first day I went to my gym, like I regularly do, but for some reason (not worth mentioning), it was SUPER crowded, and by SUPER I mean... crazyyyyy!!! I wasn't even able to finish my initial workout, because every single machine was occupied along with the yoga matts AND the free spaces (I'm glad I was able to do anything really). 

 The whole environment was very stuffy regardless of how well ventilated the space is, and that made running seem like any one's worst nightmare. 

 About Abs and stretching... well I can confidently say... THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO FREE SPACE. 

 Apologies, i don't mean to yell, but the worst thing after a late pizza delivery is a very crowded, stuffy gym. 
New game plan... Abs and stretching could be done during the day at home (i'm usually free), and the running part... May the odds be in my favor next time.

Moving on to the rest of the week, day two I managed to stretch to the point where it felt like it was leg day the next morning. I don't think I stretched any other day though... 

 For the Abs and running I might have missed only two days of the seven total. Which isn't such a bad result. 
Next week's focus is to be consistent with stretching, since Abs and running have become just another part of the routine.

Wonder

Wonder  is one of those rare books that makes you want to hug everyone in it so tightly that they’ll have no doubt about how much you love them…and beyond that, it also makes you want to reach out and hug the whole world. It’s an upbeat, humorous, life-affirming story that deserves to be read—and it’s one that may just change its readers, too. If you remember how terrifying it was to be a kid on a day to day basis, you’ll appreciate August’s story. 10-year-old Auggie is going to school for the first time in his life, and he has to navigate new rules, learn to interact with teachers, and figure out how to make new friends. In addition, he also has a severe facial deformity that stops strangers in their tracks, so all the usual perils of the fifth grade take on even more heightened stakes. Even with a positive attitude and smart, loving parents, however, Auggie’s story is not an easy one to read, and my emotions ran wildly from sadness to hilarity to terrible anger at wh...

Ketchup Clouds

There’s quite a lot of things I really liked about Ketchup Clouds, and I’ll talk about those things in this review. But firstly, about the novel itself. It’s a uniquely told story in that we’re reading this novel through a series of one way letters from an English girl who calls herself Zoe (not her real name, but that’s how I’ll refer to her throughout) to Stuart Harris, a murderer who is sitting on death row in Texas, USA. This in itself was enough to pique my interest and made me want to read this novel. But it becomes more interesting. Don’t be fooled by the cover that looks carefree and fluffy. This is not the fluffy book that it comes across as. And I really liked that surprise. One thing I actually loved about this book was when I picked it up I was thinking “Ketchup Clouds?! What kind of a title is that?” Honestly after reading it it’s the best kind of title, because it’s relevant to the story and there’s a bit of a back story to it. I am not going to explain what it ...

Plan Zee

Oh My Gosh, I can't believe this is happening! Hi, this is Reem and Fatin! We should explain ourselves first. Reem is from Egypt. Fatin is from Malaysia. Our first encounters happened in the year 2011 at Abu Dhabi International Pvt. School in 9th Grade. When we both met, we instantly clicked and as we spent the days in school together, we started to grow on each other and became best friends! After 2 years in school together, like any other third culture kids go through, it's time to move. Fatin moved to France and Reem moved to Egypt... We became long distance friends ever since! Then the universe brought us both together as we shared the same dream. 🙌 We created Plan Z (zee) as the ultimate plan (because what are the 26 alphabets are for right?) Plan Z is our dream to one day to be re-united and began to do what we dream of doing. We first created Plan Z as we go through high school and worrying about what's the next step in life. We wanted t...
