First sunrise in a long time. Apparently there are advantages to waking up early for bootcamp. (at Cary, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnbIaWrFeh0iO8vJpQ0gnZSPHpRFaC1ewcZzgM0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p1ngeky82aej

I'll spare you a pic of my sweaty self but I finally got a spinning class in after a long time. Gotta get them in and bike rides outside as well for #sprinttriathlontraining (at Unc Wellness Center Nw Cary) https://www.instagram.com/p/Blx5EU7ANr2-_uPR0JeCRbcn-Je0yptinx3awo0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p8snbjie3xvz

A lovely evening in Denver (at Denver, Colorado)

We didn't get a pic together and I didn't even eat the sushi but LOOK AT THIS BOAT !! 😋 (at Shiki Sushi Asian Bistro)

Loved this story. 😀 #Repost @humansofpakistan (@get_repost) ・・・ I loved someone but could not get married to her due to my economic status. I am a woodcutter and work as a daily wage labourer. However, the person I got married to ultimately became the love of my life. We had six children out which two died due to poor health. After the death of my second child, I quit woodcutting and started looking for other work. Seeing the frustration, my wife asked me to sell her earrings to get some money to start a business. It was not enough but was something to start with. I started a confectionary shop within my house from the money and it kept our stove burning from that point. However, I felt bad almost every day that wife had to sell her jewellery for us. After a few weeks, a group of people came to our house who told us that they would give my wife an interest free loan if she starts or contributes to a business. After consulting a few people, we agreed and got the loan to invest more in our shop. The business increased and I have saved enough money to get back my wife those earrings that made our life better. #EmpoweredWomenEmpoweredPakistan ————— —- @SUCCESSinSindh is funded by the European Union in Pakistan and aspires to work exclusively with rural women in 8 districts of Sindh to reduce poverty.

He will be missed by so many. I used to defend Anthony Bourdain to anyone who said anything negative about him as if he were my personal friend. Indeed I always wished he was. I wanted so badly for him to visit Pakistan and explore the cultural and culinary differences to other South Asian countries. I actually wanted to be him. I told people my dream job would be to have Anthony Bourdain's job travelling the world experiencing new cultures and cusines while always being so compassionate, wise and snarky. I loved how he told people in Iceland to their face that their fermented food tasted like crap. I also loved how when Youssou N'Dour told him that the answer to the world's problems is Islam, Tony just smiled and nodded. He didn't argue or try to put him down. He knew when to stay silent and when to speak. He had mastered that art of conversing with others who held different beliefs than him. I also loved how well he handled being faced with the effects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict when he was forced to evacuate Lebanon during a taping there when fighting broke out between Israel and Lebanon. He did a follow-up episode and returned to the region later doing more in depth and nuanced reporting than I have seen by any other American. A legend. He will be missed by so many. I will be watching reruns of his shows for the next month at least. Rest in peace Tony. ------- #Repost @guardian (@get_repost) ・・・ TV chef Anthony Bourdain has died at the age of 61.

First time using Cali'flour pizza crust. Made a fantastic gyro pizza. I've decided this basically a huge warm salad because the crust is made from cauliflower. Net carbs for 1 crust = only 3 carbs!

Best iftar ever at Bosphorus. #ketoramadan #day2 (at Bosphorus)

Sooo true story I am not doing the best at #ketoramadan but that's okay. I did however do my first boot camp today while fasting so feeling great about that. Also no #hangry Saliha although I was tempted a few times. Also I don't think road rage counts does it ?! 😑🤣
