It's been a mess for these few days and I feel like just cancelling this program and no longer update but I want to keep going because I know somewhere behind my mind, I want this and I will get there.
Insomia - 3 am went to sleep and woke up at 9 am. I don't remember having breakfast but during the day I had a cup of tea, horlicks and at night some tandori chicken, biryani and naan from the resturant.
Exercise = nil

Live Life Healthy - Day 3 - Feb 29th, 2012
Alright I messed up today. I slept by 10:00 pm as I was tired since I had managed to get up at 5:00 am. However, I woke up around 12:30 am feeling refreshed for some reason and then couldn't go back to sleep until 3:30 am. Yes, I watched a cake making competition and indulged in some chocolate biscuits.
The end result, got up by 10:00 am as my body was tired.
Breakfast - 10:30 am, A glass of water and litchi Juice, 4-6 eclairs in office
Lunch - 3:30 pm, Hotel - A plate of Biryani, Half butter naan and chicken masala with Mango milkshake
Snack - 6:00 pm A piece of Litchi cake (Colleagues birthday)
Dinner - 10:30 pm, Three rotis, Paneer curry and rice with a glass of Guava juice. Dry fruits as snacks.
No exercise :( Need to get this rolling. Consumed around 1800 calories today.

Live Life Healthy - Day 2 Tuesday 28th Feb
Okay... better .. much better. I didn't sleep welll but got up at 5:00 am.. yey!!! I had breakfast at 7:15 am and lunch at 3:45 because I was not hungry and dinner at 7:30 pm. A good reason was that I came early from office but have to plan my day such that I have dinner after sunset everyday when I am in office. Updating via mobile so will add the snaps tomorrow. Exercise : nil. Have to work on it plus food portions.

Live Life Healthy - Day 1, Monday 27-Feb-2012
I got up at 7:30 am. Which is a huge improvement considering my past insomia. Forced myself in bed at 10:00 pmish and was awake till midnight tossing and turning but I did not allow myself to get up and read a book etc.
Food:
Breakfast 8:15 am - Pulav and Curd - I thought of having Oat meal but then... :(
Lunch 1:45 pm - The same with a glass of tang lemonade
A cup of tea around 3:30 pm
Cake cutting for a colleague so a piece of chocolate cake 5:30 pm
Dinner 10:30 pm - A plate of rice, dal, salad, curd, and a few grapes. I was too hungry to take a snap :)
I am guessing total calories of 1200. Same as always. No decrease but I don't want to do anything drastic. Hope to improve in the coming days.
Exercise: Nil apart from light housework and five minutes walk.
Its 11:30 pm and will most probably fall asleep by 12:30 am. Pretty happy with today because:
a) Cured my insomia - I want to sleep now!
b) Home cooked food
Improvements:
a) Type of food cooked
b) Time of food - especially dinner time
c) Excercise
d) 5:00 am is still my target - for life

Get ready for Act II - Life over 30, Make myself healthy & fit and stay fit & healthy and away from medicines and doctors and hospitals forever. Amin!

Exercise - Exercise everyday or at least walk for half hour everyday without fail.
Food - Stick to healthy foods, eat small portions and no junk!
I will be documenting how I do each day here for at least the next 90 days and watch the progress.

How I Plan my Zakaat
These ‘rules of thumbs’ have guided me in my Zakaat:
1. Zakaat purifies your wealth, protects it.
2. The more Zakaat you give, the more Allah Taala will give you.
3. It is better to give more Zakaat than eligible rather than less Zakaat and be accountable to Allah Taala on the day of Judgment
4. Syedna Ali ibn Abi Talib (SA) used to plan his wealth in such a way that he would keep aside some part to be given as charity/sadaqa for present and some he would keep aside to be spent in Ramadhan
5. I heard about a rich businessman, who used to make the intention/Niyyat of giving x amount of Zakaat next year – irrespective of whether he faces loss in his business
If he decided to give Rs 1,000,000 as Zakaat, think of how much he would have been blessed as actual wealth
If Rs 1,000,000 = 2.5%, what is 97.5%? Rs 39,000,000!
Therefore, I have a very simple method of planning my Zakaat
1. I make my intention/Niyyat of x amount, a year before. For example, this Ramadhan I have made my Niyyat of Zakaat for next Ramadhan
2. I keep aside x/12 amount every month
I somehow, have managed x amount every year (from the past three years) – Allah Taala has through some means or the other given me sustenance that my intention of Zakaat is achieved.
May Allah guide you in giving your Zakaat.
