FOOD W/ PURPOSE @HHBakeryCafe (Haley House)

Dudley Square Home to Malcolm Red, before he became Malcolm X, Home and brithplace to New Edition, before BBD, Bobby Brown started their solo careers. Dudley square located in Roxbury, Massachusetts has historically been the center of the Urban area of Boston, MA. Looking for a something to eat, I stumbled upon a hidden jewel, Haley House: Bakery Cafe located on 12 Dade Street. I've been hesitant on trying new meals, because I have some favorite eatery in the vicinity, Mario's, Ugi's, Stash's & Joe Steak N Cheese and for years I've been loyal to these establishments.

I was sold on the ambiance and more important on the menu, loving their slogan "Nourishing our Community While Fostering Economic Indpendence". The 1st time I ate here was with a family and close colleague of mine Marc Germain and I caught their Brunch last summer on a Saturday. Recently thou I have been all over the Curry Chicken Garden Salad w/ Balsamic Dressing

A highly recommend to check out the Haley House if you are in the area this spot is minutes from downtown in the hearbeat of the City. Check out their Daily Menu & Brunch Menu 

FRESH PAIR NIKES | REGGIE LEWIS TRACK | ASHUR Restaurant

Wednesday, April 30, 2014

Coach Ahmed reward me with these new joints, I appreciate that my hard work is being noticed. Success is trying, Failures isn't trying at all. After my work Coach planted the seed in my head,"Hatim consider running in the Master's divison"... hmmm we shall get to that in future post the game has changed. Regardless thou it feels real good entering this place below, and starting to get my rhythm back soon come "Beast Mode" but patience is a virute

After practice got my prayers in.. It's imperative can't forget the Lord. The goal is mind,body & Soul. Since I was in the neigborhood I decided to work my brothers from Mogadishu at Ashur Restaurant  can't go wrong with some salad, some goat meat plus some traditional Somalia Rice 

DAYOFF - RESTING - MEMOIRSOFSAGI

Tuesday April 29, 2k14

#NodaysOff No cliche but as far as training Coach Ahmed told me to chill and relax, so in route to the Healey Libray to prepare for an upcoming exam, I couldn't help that the Greatest Entertainer from my generation was melodically guiding me on the beach front through my headphones as these words resonate and bounce of the bass from my eardrums"When the world is on your shoulder Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down" - THE GOAT - Michael Jackson

Despite the Winds since I was by the beachfront, I decided to take a #Selfie, which is very rare but I wanted to share via IG:iammrjump 

After the Library on the ride home, stopped as subway and got a 6inch for $3 dollars what a deal. Since the new season of the Boondocks had started I had to get caught up. Ironically in the World of Sports New NBA Commissioner Adam Silverman announced a lifetime ban on Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life. SMDH the sad part about this he is a billionaire no matter the sanctions or fine he is still going to make $ if he is forced to sell the team, enough of my tirade. My answer to the Uncle Rukus and Donald Sterling off the world is to be successful is the biggest form of vengeance

Just finished my workout at the Reggie Lewis. After work I went to City Sports downtown Boston and purchased some new running sneakers a new gym bag and shirt to run in.

When I got to the Reggie Lewis I had to due a my warm 800 metes indoor 4 laps. Started off with some stretching, did some drills working on form then light upper body workout to shock the muscles. After that I ran a mile.

Pre WORKOUT - soundtrack of the day: ALL EYEZ ON ME from the one of the greatest writers in hiphop history. I sure got my mind made up, came home to a bomb dinner, Salmon with Asparagus, mixed vegatables with quinoa. Also I am reaching my goal with my walkmate and app via Samsung

“As the saying goes, it’s dangerous to set your goals short because you might achieve them,” I’m trying to think extremely big and set a goal that’s extremely high above myself in order to continue to elevate and continue to be motivated.” - Jon Jones

“I know that I have three or four big fights in front of me to be considered one of the greatest of all time,” I want to earn that honor. I’m starting to believe I really can be the greatest fighter of all time. I’m taking that thought — greatest fighter of all time — and I’m breaking it down, and I’m breaking it into one opponent at a time.” - Jon Jones  via via MMAJunkie

In my personal life my I couldn't be more happier my lady is 100% in supportive. Truly Blessed to have her in my life. Last night she sent me this video below. The word of the week is Light, this became the topic of conversation because I feel empowered everyday that the decision I made was the right decision. Sticking to the topic of light I went to Healey Library at Umass Boston yesterday and I bumped into another bro/ahki I haven't seen and years, roughly 10 years during my undergrad, he ended up finishing and moving to Philadelphia and worked as a pharmacist due to his mother getting sick he moved back, we went to the cafeteria and spoke and he told me that when I stop following God's Light your immersed in darkness your thoughts your actions well reflect that.. So ironically my lady sent me this video...

Day 3 - Weather 43 Degrees - 5:43 am

April 24, 2k14 

Thank you creator for a new day new opportunities, this morning was fulfilling, due to the wind I decided to take my talents to Planet Fitness. I started off with 15 mins of stretching. After getting a little loose I went on the treadmill the fulfillment came when I finished a mile non-stop. At the half mile mark I wanted to stop and walk, the last 800 meters especially the last two days I would walk the 1st half mile and jog the other half mile. Today was different felt the strength at the half mile mark to continue which I did. Far as I am concern this is progress and it's motivation to continue.The Soundtrack for the morning was from the boys from 215, World Famous Legendary Roots Crew. Illadelph Halflife dope album from top to bottom.. Starting off with my joint Clones

Regardless I have a long way to go, In the meanwhile  I feel stronger everyday, I came into work and my boss mentioned she noticed the difference, I have lost 7 lbs since last week I am currently 193 lbs. The next phase in reaching my goals is my diet. I never said no to Steak N Cheese, with cooked onions, peppers, mushrooms and ketchup and mayo toast the bread SMDH. My lady says I use food as a drug, she maybe right, lmaooo.. OKAY SHE IS RIGHT Recently I have been drinking more water, haven't been eating fast food. My cheat day last friday was sushi, I feel like I am making leaps I would have gotten my usual Schezuan Chicken with Shrimp Fried Rice, 3 appetizers (Crab Ragoon, Chicken Wings, Beef Teryiaki) - side note just want to salute my new joint Yummy Teriyaki <----- Don't sleep on this spot if you are in North Boston area
