Grateful or nah??

Do you ever feel like you aren't thankful enough???

I saw a picture on Instagram today (see above) and it just gave me so much joy!!! We have soooo much to be thankful for, soooo much..... I want to list them but I can't...

Lets Flashback to Uni days, struggling with studies, still collecting money from parents, living off pocket money... fast-forward to Now.... you earn your own money, you are responsible for your self, maybe married with kids, or just married , or just kids, running your own business ....whatever it is, you are responsible for yourself, for your decisions and you are alive, I think you are at a point that requires you to be thankful!!! 

Even if you are not blessed materially or you don't have a job or you are not married, guess what???? YOU ARE ALIVE AND WELL...... How dare you not be thankful. Granted things can be tough, we might be unhappy about a few current situations but the fact that you have air going in and out of your nostrils, you have siblings, you have parents, you have money to pay for data and be able to read this blog, your eyes are functioning properly, you can walk, you can talk, you feed yourself, you see food to eat everyday, honey you better just take a minute to thank God because without him we are nothing.....

I am sorry I deviated, I just felt the urge to share this....

Still on the fit Fam: I weighed in at 89.6 yesterday, I am not proud hence no photo..... Lets look forward to next weeks progress report shall we.

Xoxo Legooo

Happy Birthday Alexis, Happy Birthday Gabrielle Love you guys.

*We FALL DOWN, and We GET UP!!!!!

Hi guys, this weight loss p is too real o – I am not making excuses but the nature of my job will not let me be great!!!

Meeeeehn, that was me on wednesday...... anyway here's my progress report

Monday

Public Holiday Spirit was too live, I destroyed my dreams to lose weight, I indulged in some very unhealthy treats I acknowledged my woes and I got up

Tuesday

 I ordered a salad from So Fresh Market, they brought green grill salad for me (that one is a different story for a different day, please who puts RAISINS IN SALAD, RAISINS!!!!!!!), That salad did not ‘guage’ me, So I had a piece of fish…  7pm came; Hunger followed, Still no hope of home anytime soon (at least by the time you spend 7-9 in traffic, when you get home you are tired, not hungry)….. I strolled out and bought some pineapple, oranges and watermelon…….. still pushing, drinking water and  praying for energy to work out when I get home.

Wednesday

 I woke up FAMISHED!!! And I still did not work out, I came to the office craving carbs and knowing that I will not close early, Let’s just say ‘We fell down’. Wednesday was not good at all, but its Thursday and though I am soooo freaking hungry and so ready to consume a plate of hot Jollof rice and peppered chicken, I plan to say no to my cravings *insert tears*

In Summary

This week is not looking good, but I can’t spend 2k a day on salad and I haven’t been able to find time to buy vegetables from the supermarket, but it’s on my to-do list this weekend, I will probably extend the detox to next week and do an actual DETOX… (Please don’t judge me)

Next week promises to be good, hopefully work will be lighter and I will make my on salads and smoothies and I will work out in Jesus Name.

Note: *This one is a prayer ‘sturves’*, you people should pray for me let my work let me be great,  working 15hours a day is not a sustainable life style, stress eating is an actual thing.

xoxo Legooooo!

Prepping for Kick-Off... 

So kick-Off is Monday the 20^th……. I am starting on Monday cos I am home this weekend, and I am recovering from my brief illness, so I intend to EAT……..anyone who knows anything about visiting home knows that they first pump you up with FOOOOD!!!! and well thats my story for this weekend, unapologetic-ally so.....

Yesterday I ate shaaaaaa, It was all pseudo-healthy food but it was a lot

·       

Moving on......

I weighed in this morning at 90kg (WTF, I was 88 last weekend, hiss)……

I also worked out at the most exhilarating Zumba class ever, as in after this class I was so pumped and ready to do more, I absolutely loved it... good job kosy, Its GetfitwithKosy abi ZumbawithKosy and its in Abuja, ask and the details shall be given, Trust me it’s a work out and its FUUUUUUUN….. I haven’t had anything to eat yet but Moi-Moi be steaming and I am just patiently waiting to devour….

For this Week (July 20 – July 25)

I will be detoxing, I am taking cue from my COACH of life ‘NATACHY’ (yes I love her, she is the real deal)…..

The plan is to have smoothies, fruits and vegetable salads with 1 cup of chicken/fish or egg whites…Obviously I will not be consuming any fizzy drinks; I will try to drink 5Litres of Water a day and 3 cups of green tea (Gosh!!! I hate the toilet at the office).

I also have a workout routine and then some... Thanks to Shaun Tee and Natachi from HealthnHealthy (you should check her out she is the best)…. Aaaand I am open to a support group I already have one person, anyone else who is willing to join can say so…… please help my life (we won’t share the money shaa)

I will try to update the blog at list once a week on my weight Issue, but if anything interesting happens to me during the week, or I get inspired to write something about Toke Makinwas weird pose or my gateman and his washing car with sunglasses routine I might put it down, other than that…… I love y’all

Xoxo…Legooo

Avocado and nuts begins...

I have been meaning to start this blog for the longest time… today that time is up.

In a nutshell, I am going to be blogging about really everything but mostly about my weight struggles.

Disclaimer: this is  not a weight loss journey, Its not one of those inspirational, wedding inspired, depression situations….. The truth is my Big Headed Brother has dared me to Lose 20kg by December (The lord be my muscle)…. Infact he placed ONE Grand dollars on 30kg, but I feel like 30kg will be too much for me, I don’t want to be looking like a malnourished dog......... anyway I am going to do it.

Summary of Our Discussion

I am going to do it for the following reasons:

1.          To make him eat his words.
2.          To ‘eat’ his money.... and
3.          To look FABULOUS at my wedding.

           

My Issues:

- Commitment is not my strong point

- Consistency is not my strong point (You will see how ‘not frequently’ I will be updating this blog)

-  I love food (again, pray for a sister)

-  I have a 9-5 which is really a 7:30-till-when-the-hell-ever

-  I love exercising but I don’t like ‘getting up to exercise’ *Straight Face*

On the bright side:

-  I have finally started this blogging thing (Oyin will be proud)

-  I could lose some weight and look ‘Fabulouser’ or LITERALLY forever hold my peace (I will never hear the last of it)

-  I have a plan…. Thanks to QUEEN NATACHY!!!!

In the spirit of the Facebook Generation.....LEGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
