A New Diet
That’s right, and it’s called Ramadan. OK! So it’s not really a new diet, but it can be used as one. For the overweight, this is a great time to actually lose weight! Watch what you use to break fast and how much food you consume though. You can gain weight if you are not careful!
I’ve gained 8lbs in the last 6 weeks, but it’s from working out and gaining muscle. Hopefully Ramadan can help me burn off fat and not muscle.
Ramadan Kareem everyone!
PS: It sucks working with people who don’t fast. Granted, I may not fast every day and get weak, but it is so much harder surrounded by food and drink.

I think that’s the point hehe getting away from temptations…
and you could talk to your co-workers, they have to respect the fact that you’re fasting..
It sucks having the last meal at 3:15am or so (if I am up or can get up) and having to work 6am to 5pm. Puts me getting up at 4:45am to get ready for work. I’ve already had a couple of days where I went to bed at midnight and wasn’t able to wake up and eat my last meal. 18 hours without food or water sucks, especially when only 4 hours and 45 mins are spent sleeping. It’s a chore, lol.
I could ask them to not eat, but I also have to respect the fact that 95% if not more of the thousands of people here are not, lol. It’s OK though. Definately a test. What I hate to see is non-Muslim people fasting and complaining about it.
Not an issue today at least. I’m sick so this will be a “make-up” day. Thankfully Lana got better and is able to fast today. I hate getting sick and having no idea what item in partitcular caused it!
