Weight Loss


Guess who finally joined the gym? I finally plucked up the courage to renew my gym membership after two year of giving up. Today went pretty well, I worked out for almost two hours on the treadmill, bicycle and other equipment I don't know the names of. I also did squats lifting 10kg weights. I got motivated to go back to the gym after looking at pictures from a friends birthday party and Lord did my belly stick out of my dress, right now I am at my biggest and I feel my body is starting to affect my self esteem so its time to bring sexy back .

I also started a 30 day exercise and diet plan cutting out fatty, sugary food and carbs out of diet *lets see how well that goes*. As of now I'm having a hard time cutting rice out of my diet , so for the next few days i'm eating basmati rice instead of long grain rice in small potions  with vegetables and chicken, been a cheapskate that I am, I opted for drumsticks instead of chicken breast as they are cheap and I just take the skin off. I am also very picky with what I eat so I season to my satisfaction.

Detoxing is a way of getting rid of toxic and unhealthy substances from the body, I find the home made self infused water nasty, so I buy ready made detox water flavored with cucumber, lime and lemon, the full bottle contains 4 calories in total . It also helps to fight fatigue, helps the skin and hair and boost the immune system. I will update my progress and hope I don't cave anytime soon.

The Act of Indecent Dressing.

I've always wondered how women can walk around looking almost naked yet feeling comfortable with it. I've never been one for going out with skimpy clothes, I do have some skirts and dresses that are above the knees, but they stay unworn in the back of the wardrobe, I wore a very questionable leather peplum to the beach and I felt very uncomfortable, had to pull it down ever time I stood up , and when It was my turn to go get drinks my brothers friend took a look at me and told me to sit down.  I was embarrassed, but I turned a lot of heads, when we switched locations to Waterside I had a guy wait for me outside the toilet since he couldn't approach me in from of the two intimidating men I was with. He offered to take me out clubbing and I blamed it on the skirt because I was dressed like I belonged in a club.

I PICKED UP THE HIJAB

 I'm slowly transitioning from a cleavage bearing, alcohol sipping Muslim woman to a full-time hijabi.  Where do I start from? I've always wanted to be a hijabi but I didn't have the courage to do it, I admired Muslim women in their scarves and hijab, I gave it a go in Uni, tied a turban for a few weeks and I got bored and ditched it.  Told myself I will pick it up when I get married, I still need enough time to flaunt my locs, bare my chest and wear dresses with slits going above my knees.  I enjoyed sipping cocktails, drinking champagne and mostly Jack Daniels and coke, I quit alcohol a few times, the longest I went without alcohol was 12 months. I'm not an alcoholic, I go months without drinking on the regs,. especially when I'm in Dublin, but I need booze to survive in Lagos. A few shots once I get home from the airport, then Star Radler or Snapp before noon, this continues until I leave the city.  My motto was " I can't be sober in Lagos". 

RAMEN IS NOT FOR ME.

 Do not believe what you see on the internet... Fighting for my life as type this, by fighting for my life, I mean my stomach and mouth are on fire.  My nose is running and I'm screaming for pain.  Why ????????????????   Two nights ago I saw a tweet where someone was hyping how delicious Ramen is and how it is way better than Indomine.  Curiosity killed the cat they said, well I am a 94kg, 5'2 26 years old cat in human form.  I jumped on Amazon, checked out a few brands, picked one, during my quest of finding the one with the cheapest shipping, I accidentally subscribed for Prime... Oops
