evepostappleOnce upon a time, there was a woman named Eve, who, unable to resist the luring temptation of a fragrant orchard, took a bite of forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Perhaps Eve was bored. Perhaps she was ovulating and had a desperate craving for something sweet. Perhaps life in the little garden was becoming stressful or claustrophobic. Perhaps she felt out of control or lacked passion in her life and in order to numb her emotions or soothe herself from Adam's lack of attention or his ambivalence in starting a family, she chose to indulge. Perhaps Eve was an emotional eater. But as Eve soon discovered, neither the bite, nor the whole fruit fulfilled her as she had hoped. Not only did she realize she was naked but that she had contempt for the way she looked. Perhaps Eve suffered with body dismorphia. Eve tried to stop eating the forbidden fruit and eventually avoided eating altogether but that didn't work and she ended up eating until she could no longer breathe. The point of this is that Eve lost her intuitive ability to nourish herself. She no longer had balance in her life and was willing to do any and everything to get that back.

Maybe Eve didn't exist. Maybe the stories that were told are not as important as the stories we tell ourselves.

This blog is dedicated to creating new stories based on the philosophies of whole body nutrition, self-love, intuition, fitness and yoga.

In my journey I have sought to uncover the knowledge and balance which have brought me to a greater awareness of health and this is what I wish to share with you.

    For the next two weeks, I will be travelling to our coconut farm in a remote village in Cuba.  This place is paradise with white sand beaches, tropical oceans and tons of fresh fruits.  

    I am not sure how internet reception will be nor if I will be able to access any American websites due to the Communist regime but know that you will all be in my thoughts with every clean meal choice and workout that I do.

    For the trip, as always, I am well prepared to keep up my clean living lifestyle and training.  Here are some of the things that I am bringing.

    Workout

    I will have access to a small gym on our resort; however, during our trip out to the farm, gym access may be limited so I am equipped with the following:

    • 2 training resistance bands, varying weights
    • skipping rope
    • my equipment free workout plan
    • coach’s training program
    • nike lunar glide trainers
    • workout gloves
    • nike running tracking device

    Clean Eating

    • food scale
    • magic bullet
    • oats
    • flax seeds
    • protein powder
    • vitamins and supplements
    • walnuts
    • cashews
    • quinoa
    • brown rice cakes
    • peanut/cashew butter

    I look forward to updating all of you if and when I can during my two weeks away.  In health,

    Zain
