Working out since 2010, almost every day.

It’s been a long time I know… life has changed so much these past few years, some things to the better, some things to worse… what remains is the love in the heart that never wavers. Love will conquer all, all we need is love, love is the answer.

Imagine you were born in 1900. When you're 14, World War I begins and ends when you're 18 with 22 million dead. Soon the Spanish-Flu appears, killing 50 million people. And you're alive, 20 years old. When you're 29 you survive the global economic-crisis with the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange, causing inflation, unemployment and famine. When you're 33 years old the nazis come to power. When you're 39, World War II begins and ends when you're 45 years old with a 60 million dead. In the Holocaust 6 million Jews die. At 52, Korean War begins. At 64, Vietnam War begins and ends when you're 75. A child born in 1985 thinks his grandparents have no idea how difficult life is. Today we have all the comforts in a new world, amid a new pandemic. But we complain because we need to wear masks. We complain because we must stay confined to our homes where we have food, electricity, water, wifi, Netflix! None of that existed back in the day. But humanity survived those circumstances and never lost their joy of living. And we will too. Be thankful for what you have. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCpbHLIpX_n/?igshid=1p6yj3xxhc9hm

#weekend... feels much like Auguste Comte's motto of #positivism... “Love as the beginning, and order as the base; progress as the end.” #countyourblessings #stayhome #thistooshallpass (at Dubai, UAE) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB7dyQYjwuB/?igshid=r6jbsnbhsgwc

perhaps a one man’s #angermanagement to #stayingsane against everything that’s happening in this world right now... when our own personal struggles seem so insignificant... from #blacklivesmatter to #humanrights to #equality, to #freedom and #justice... sometimes, all you can do is go on... to be the strength, advocate for what’s right, spread kindness and love you know how... hope for a better day... #staystrong https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJbp-KDmiQ/?igshid=1cigq4x2v7c60

“If you’re going to push a piece of machinery to the limit and expect it to hold together, you have to have some sense of where that limit is...” Hoping for a normal everyone needs to return to. In the meantime, #stayhome #staysafe https://www.instagram.com/p/CArtj0ZjakP/?igshid=1ej5su58zil3g

It’s #TogetherTuesday at #AbdulLatifJameel, and this week, we’re getting physical! According to the #WHO regular exercise is more important than ever during the #COVID19 pandemic, when staying indoors sees us moving less than usual. The WHO's #BeActive campaign recommends regular physical activity to benefit both the body and mind, to help give our days at home a routine, and as a great way to stay in contact with family and friends. With this in mind, we are proud to see so many of our people dedicated to staying #healthyathome! #stayhome #stayhealthy https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXZn1ljRcK/?igshid=90exu0spla0z

Yes I’m still here... One of the most common phrases I heard from week one of quarantine, was “I’ve gained weight”! I never really cared about my weight per se, but about health in general. Being pre diabetic, I’m typically careful with what I eat and the times when I’m not careful and my glucose levels are less than desirable, my throat tightens and I’m overwhelmed with guilt. Bread has (had) always been on the guilty list. I can tell you though, that something wonderful happened during this quarantine! I was gifted a blessed, hyperactive sourdough starter. Affectionately, I was gifted a sourdough MOTHER – aka the levain, wild yeast, bacteria. @theapiarylb reassured me that sourdough bread is low in Phytate making it more nutritious and far easier to digest; hence, it would also be diabetic friendly since during long-fermentation it lowers the glycemic index. I started making basic sourdough bread and developed into making more complex sourdough breads. I can gladly tell you now that my sugar has not spiked ever since, despite my generous daily servings! HA!!! To say that this is by far, the most delicious bread in the world, is definitely an understatement. The past two months, it is the spirit of this beautiful, natural and ancient yeast that nourished me. Not all bacteria are bad, right?
