Msrehreh has materialized

Well hello again, it's ben a long time! Missed me? I'm attempting to restart this blog. Every time I have wanted to pick blogging back up, I am derailed by the long absence that I have left you with and all the negative self-deprecating thoughts that plant themselves in my head, paralyzing me till I concede defeat. With that being said, I need to get over myself and just dive back in. Whether that means there is 1 person interested in what I have to say (thanks mom), then so be it. Writing was always a form of escape from my everyday - I'm hoping you will ride along.

Our innovative #selfie game was on point 13 years ago. #tbt

So much has happened since my very last post but here is a quick recap. My baby boy Isa is now 2.5 years old, my middle spunky daughter Zaina is 6 and my eldest baby girl Leila is 12. I am a bonafide Digital Marketer at Cisco.  Yup, you are correct, I have moved on up in the world finally. You can find me on Twitter, babbling away and while you're at it follow my sports obsessed husband Fish if you want to talk ESPN all day everyday. I am doing well, happy and very healthy. Not healthy living healthy, but more inhaling at high speed every morsel of food on my plate, kinda healthy. I have so fallen off my motigirl diaries diet and have fortunately gained all the weight back much to my scale's dismay. More on that coming in later blogs (hopefully)... 

I plan to dive deeper back into writing more consistently and let the creative juices just flow. I'm the most at peace when I can allow myself to let words take me away. As an adolescent, I avidly wrote in my journal. I'm hoping that this blog will allow me to simulate the same exuberant cadence that I once had as a teenager. Although I haven't narrowed down a cohesive theme for my blog,  I humbly request that you bear with me. It may vary like my mood swings. You might get a glimpse into my work world, the crazy life of #soccermoms, my failures as a parent of 3, my gluttonous appetite for consuming delicious things and then regretting it later all wrapped up into one. Don't say I didn't give you a fair warning. Thanks for reading! Feel free to leave a comment or say what's up below!

Msrehreh is signing off for tonight. Deuces. 

Guess who's back for some Moti Love

Well hello my faithful friends... do I even have any left out there? Thanks to some very persistent and encouraging gal pals (yes, that's you Ms Lakhani) I have bellyflopped back into the land of blogging. I know you're enjoying that lovely mental picture I just gave you.  I can't even being to explain why I took such a long hiatus from this world... suffice to say I'm baaackkkk.  You ready for me?

So I have absolutely no idea where to start.  New year, new beginnings, new fat I have found chilling on my body... yeah what a great start.  So, I begin 2012 with a promise to myself and my 2 followers that I will attempt to write weekly.  

When I first fell off the wagon of blogging, a good friend of mine had advised to write about my struggles and challenges with sticking with Moti girl, or to focus on how hard it is to stay motivated.  But I didn't heed the advice of the wise and the more time that passed, the easier it became to put it off even more. The next time I checked, six months had gone by sans blogging and I felt like such a loser and a quitter.  I need to follow through and hold myself accountable.  It wasn't so much about the dieting and losing weight, it was about making a lifestyle change that stuck.  Plus, the routine of blogging weekly was so great for my soul.  I wasn't ready for all the changes that came my way once school was over.  I didn't manage all the different hats I was wearing and more importantly I didn't prioritize very well.  So I plan to ameliorate that and hope to do it with your help.  :)

Unfortunately or maybe luckily my scale's battery is dead, so no picture today.  However the scale will be back this weekend and I will snap a picture and throw it on this blog on Monday next week.  I leave you today with one word and that is HOPE. I HOPE to keep up with blogging.  I HOPE to make better choices and I HOPE that I won't bore you to death with my ramblings of all irrelevant things.  Until next time... this is your Moti girl signing out.
