So I’m flipping through this month’s Teen Ink and I see this. Just staring me in the face. It’s from a piece called “My Syria” by Nadia Almasalkhi

But I just can’t help but think of all the ways that this applies to all of us.

That’s my sister!

I’m probably not winning December Fitness Battle 2011 but I just worked out to the Brazilian Butt Lift video again, and I FINALLY got through the first class. I’ve only worked out 3/6 of the last days =/ but for the last two my body was so sore that I just couldn’t make myself. But those are just excuses, or as I like to call them, the mottos of losers. I’m making progress and I have a lot of things to motivate me:

1. winning

2. swimsuit season

3. winning

4. intrinsic motivation

5. fitness

6. winning. winning. winning.

5 days ago I barely made it through half the class. Tomorrow, I go on to the next class in the series. Then after that I’m supposed to have a “rest day” but forget that. I’m working on my arms that day. Watch out, Laurel. I’m coming for you.

Brazilian Butt Lift

I did the first round of Brazilian Butt Lift today and it kicked my butt. I didn’t even get through the whole 55 minute class thing. I crapped out after thirty minutes :( but that’s because I didn’t feel awesome to begin with today.

Then I did an hour and a half of LSAT prep and then went out to run some errands now I gotta go get ready for a friend’s grad party. I am getting stuff DONE today. Why wasn’t I this productive during finals week?

So Day 1 is a success for the December Fitness Battle 2011. Bring it, Laurel.

Laurel has made a grave mistake. She agreed to a fitness challenge with me over the winter break. We each get three weeks, and whomever works out most consistently and for a longer duration at the end of the three weeks wins. And I will win. The loser (Laurel) will take the winner (me) out to dinner.

BRING IT ON LAUREL. SHOW ME WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF.

Love,

Aida
