new year resolutions

obviously, we have already entered the new year and like every year, we have a huge list of resolutions that we try to accomplish. my absolute priority on a personal level, is to get back in shape! i cant believe that this is always has to be on my every new year wish list!
however, im showing some serious steps to reach this ever wanted goal. i recieved that 2 in 1 bike and cross trainer machine and has been exercising for about a week now. i even had a very good experience in going for a walk to get saif from school, the distance is over 4 km and takes 1 whole hr in total. saif enjoyed it and asked me to take that as a habbit, " mornings by car and afternoons on feet". i will do my best to work on it but lets hope the weather gets better because when i got back home from that walk, i couldnt talk for half an hr because my mouth was frozen hahaha.
and ofcourse since every weight watcher has to control their food in take, ive been watching what ive been eating for the last 2 weeks and i can see some slight difference on the scale.

we have booked our tickets to amman, on the 5th of april. not very excited though, but looking for some change and refreshment. to be honest i regret that we decided not to go to Dubai in the past christmas break, and i hope the amman holiday makes it up for us.

did i tell u that i enrolled myself in a distance learning diploma to be a proffesional interior desighner? there you go then.
i have already started the first tutorial which i kind of found it boring because it mainly covered some historical introduction about how ID movements started, with a long list of ID related glossary that i should be aware of. i have already finished reading it, and started preparing to write my first assignment.

on another hand, we went a couple of days ago for hubby's graduation ceremony. cannot describe how proud i am with my little surgoun who never expected to finish the first course! but el7amdulellah, with some support and encouragement he aced it and earned it worthily.

bye 2010 hello 2011

today is the second day of the new year 2011, i expect it would hold lots of changes on a personal level. i have just enrolled myself in an interior design course, where on successful completion insha2allah, ill be rewarded a diploma for a professional interior designer. you must be wondering, why ID when u already have an IT bachelor?! well girls, IT was a total mistake to be honest. i wish i had the courage back in collage to switch majors, but i was careless enough to just finish with my studies and start working. i totally regret it now, and i thought maybe its the time i should do something about my wish. i want to stop regretting and taste how would it be like if i have gone ID right from the start. will i hate it and get bored too? lets wait and see. its all about distance learning and time management between my assignments and my home. what makes me feel good about it, is that the progression is gonna be on my own pace, no rush, i can go as fast as 3 months or as 6 months or as long as i want. all im hoping for is that i enjoy what im about to start, w inshallah kher.

i also plan to shed my pregnancy weight away, can u believe i am still roaming around with the old 12 kgs?? i personally cant! it has already been over a year since i gave birth and i still dont feel ready about it. its winter u know and u wanna keep eating and getting urself warm and cozy. but inshallah this should stop very very soon. i wanna go back to my old stinky magical drink (cumin + green tea + mint leaves + fresh ginger), finish a 1.5 ltr of water, and very low fat meals. i already ordered a 2 in 1 bike and cross trainer machine to help me get faster in shape. my brother's wedding is expected to be in easter's holiday, which leaves me with 3+ months to go. i hate it when i feel like ma7shoora bel zawyeh! i dont wanna be a fat mama in th party :(

2010 ended nicely el7amdellah. we had some friends over for 5 days, they have boys with the same ages as mine. so it was a mad fun house, but we have all enjoyed it.
Saif masha2allah finished memorizing souret el naba2 in less than a week, and he proudly recites it in front of whomever comes over. speaking of public speaking in my past post, el7amdellah on the next day of the christmas play, saif recited ayet el kursi infront of at least 80 people, and he mashallah was very confident and proud. so man taraka shay2an lellah, 3awadaho allah bekhayren menh, sub7an allah.

zizo started walking 2 weeks after his 1st birthday, and needless to say, he's driving us alllll nutts! he's become louder, more confident and full of surprises! his favorite songs nowadays r dan dan, 7o6y zait ya 7ajjeh and kol kbebeh kobooha. he also does remix with these songs by moving his hands in a specific way to determine the song he wants us to sing for him. he had his 3rd haircut today since birth, and gosh the ears! they were nicely covered with the long hair but now they r so obvious! i hope they settle by the time he gets older, fingers crossed!

hubby is spending his annual holiday at home, and its driving him nuts! he cant believe i didnt want to travel to dubai this holiday, and he feels a little depressed especially that the weather is not helping us to go out and about much.

Tuesday is the day term 3 is starting, and i hope cold weather gives us a break now. my hands skin is very cracked even though i make sure to moisturise them as much as i can. cant wait until spring comes over!
