Ramadan’s going good except…
Since Ramadan started, I’ve found it much easier than I expected. I’ve been eating good and hitting the gym at night. I have been able to lift heavy most days and have better workouts than I’ve had in the past. it’s awesome! I’ve been keeping track of my macros a little differently because of the temporary eating schedule. I get free food at work, so I don’t keep track as well there. Luckily I only have 1 meal a day there.
The main issue with food is the mornings. I have a hard time getting up so early to eat. I’ve noticed that when I do manage getting up to eat, I feel sick after the meal to the point that I threw up a little yesterday. When I don’t have a meal, I feel more energetic and don’t even notice the hunger throughout the day. I also notice a little bit of a sick feeling if I go overboard at iftar. I might try eating something different in the mornings or maybe have a little less food. I’m not sure, I’ll figure it out.
Today went pretty good, didn’t get a chance to eat this morning because my alarm didn’t go off. I did better than I thought on my English essay and got a perfect score on my Islam test(surprise surprise). It was also my turn to lead the prayer for girls in the MSA center. I was freaked out about it, but they told me what to do. I also went to the gym and tajweed prayer at the bigger mosque.

You may want to try a protein shake for breakfast. Breakfast is important to kick that metabolism in gear.

Hi Jamie,
Ramaddan must be a difficult time to stick to a good diet but I know it is a special time for you. I hope you are doing great. I read some of your blogs and think you are one very strong and courageous woman. I believe in you.

Once you’re body starts getting accostomed to not getting alot of food, eating in the amounts and at the pace you normally do can make you sick. It’s rough but it doesn’t last forever. Hang in there and congrats on your test.
