Happynewyear.
Hello,
Happy new year and welcome back. I know that I have been MIA for over six months but trust me it was for a good cause. Finished my degree and now I am back to taking care of Me. Taking care of my body and my life cause at the end of the day thats all that ave got. Now I am writing this as a comment cause I dont know how to work this blogspot. Well well well.
The download is that since last post I have lost ten pounds. And that is great. But now ave gatta lose some more so I am going to keep on with the work.
I have been doing some things differently and I am going to share these things with you
1. Ave been having salads regularly. As in replacing a meal with a salad.
2. I am fiberlicious meaning more whole grains namely oatmeal and brown rice and fruits and vegetables.
3. I move more. Yeah. I go to the gym quite regularly. Now I dont go as much as I want to but I also dont go like as I used to so that a success.
I realize that this journey is a life long one. It is not going to happen overnight or in one day. It happens over time and is fueled by consistensy and dedication. So I am going to give myself to my goal and I am going to have faith that I will be sucessful.
I have an alli in this endeavour. Its the drug alli. I take a pill with each meal that contains fat and alli blocks some of the fat in the food from being absorbed. This accelerates the weight loss. I didnt have any this january but yesterday I went to Costco and bout a 170 caplet bottle for 70 dollars and thats a steal.
I used to be an emotional eater but I am thankful that I am curbing that. I am learning that I am beautiful and special and worth it and I deserve all the work that I am putting into my self. After hearing disparaging things myself for many years I have come to a point in my life where I practice unconditional positive regard. This means that I will always view myself in a positive light regardless of what anybody says or things about me. God knows me and loves me just the way I am and that is all that really matters in my life.
I am discovering that weight loss is a mutifaceted process. It involves the spiritual physical and emotional sides of a person. Sometimes we just deal with the physicalities of an issue and disregard the other aspects of it but they all matter.
I still have the eating at night problem. And I am searching for the solution to that. When I do find one I will share it with you guys.
Wellness is a choice
So take charge of your health.

Another Quick Note.
Its Incredible that now no matter how much I exercise I no longer have any soreness.
Hurray.....
Hurray.....
No Breakfast+ Kickboxing = Bad Idea
Ok I know that I have not been blogging as I ought to. Its due to school hassels and all. I spend a lot of my time doing school work so no time. But I promise to blog as much as I can.
Today I hurried out of the house so no time for breakfast. We elected to do some kickboxing today. I tried to do the routine and then I felt a thunderbolt of hunger flash across my stomach. Chei. It was not funny. So I tried to fill my stomach with water. For where? E no work. So I had to do the lighter routines. During the arms and upper body workouts I did not use weights. Cause my body was already so down. Thats the lesson of the day. Eat an Oatmealicious breakfast everyday.
I am still trying to keep up but I am human and so sometimes I fall. I have learnt that in this game and in every other game in life, the important this is to get up when you fall. Dont fall down and stay down. When you fall pick yourself up and just get to it. This 4th of July, I went bananas on yams. I mean African yams. Some people dont know that that stuff is high in calories. Eating yam in any form is a sure recipice for a bloated stomach. Which is the Nigerian sign of bigmanism. I will have yams, but I will plan for it.
I have also learnt another thing about this game. Dont starve. Alway have something to eat. And by that I mean have some vegetables or nuts or whatever handy so that the hunger does not consume you. When you are hungry like that you go bananas on bad stuff.
Yeah I know I promised to tell you about my friend who lost a hundred pounds, but I am kinda busy now. I will still tell the story but that will be later.
Ciao
Wish me well

My other favorite salad
I'm in love with spinach now. I have no idea why. So here's another spinach salad.
Two or three handfuls of spinach
Two table spoons of red raspberry dressing
A few crushed pecans
One table spoon of raisins
Blue cheese crumbs
Its sooo yummy. The sweet raisins and the sharp blue cheese are the perfect combination.
You can substitute raisins with candied cranberries. I had a similar salad at a restaurant with candied cranberries and it was lovely. Can't find them in any stores around here though.
Try it and let me know how you think.

Butt workout.
Today we worked our butt and now all my behind hurts. I guess today's routine is the secret to a great behind. One you can proudly show off in a bathing suit and short shorts. It was butt bursting day. And now my butt is hurting. Walking is difficult and sitting on wood is torturous. But dont worry a soak in 2 cups of epson salt in warm water would make it all better.
So I kept my promise about eating in the party. I had the steamed vegetables and salad but I could not eat the salad cause I did not like the dressing. On sunday I had three scrambled egg whites and one piece of toast for breakfast, a salad for lunch and then brown rice for dinner. I have been trying real hard to keep to this plan. But I am human so sometimes I jump off the wagon.
This morning I had oatmeal for breakfast and carroted my way through the day. I find it helpful to eat through out the day cause I am out of control when I am hungry. I just cant deal with hunger.
I have always believed that I am one of the few people in this world that does not sweat. Well after todays workout I realized that the reason why I have not been sweating is that I dont push myself enough. Today's workout was hard and I found that my hair was wait and sweat was trickling down my spine. Wow. It was such a great feeling.
My mystery medical problems continues to trouble me. I got up to eat last night and I dont know why. Well this night I will try drinking a cup of water and lets see how that goes.
Loosing weight is difficult. But its worth it. The confidence that you can do what you set your mind to do, the better sleep and better health and who can forget the aesthetic appeal you acquire all make this ardous journey worth every bit of the pain. I am even more inspired by my friend who went from 260lbs to 160lbs. I am inspired by her and would just love to be like her. She has gone from fat and flabby to fit and trim and it is all so amazing.
Next time I will tell you about my friends story and my struggle to stay in the class.
I have to study and prepare for tommorrow.
Wish me well

Burn baby Burn.
Last time I told you that she promised us one full hour of cardio. Well she delivered. Several days later I am still feeling the soreness and I love it. This feeling is like the badge of my hardwork. I just love the way my muscles feel. It shows that I have worked hard and now. The class is four days a week but unfortunately I might not be able to make it for thoes four days because I have other commitments so I have decided to go two days and I have to make that arrangement with her. I just love the cardio. Wow. Woe to fat.
Now I am trying to eat better. I am snacking on carrots and I am loving it. They are crunchy and sweet. And I walk more yeah. Imoteda's suggestion is working. I drop at one stop before my stop and then walk to my destination. However yesterday I did something wrong and I need help to get it right. I at two white chocolate and macademia nut cookies and then I had one double chocolate chip cookie. Thats the sour part of yesterday. I just love thoes white chocolate and macademia nut cookie and I was feeling kinda down yesterday so I ate them. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this kind of eating?
Now to my medical mystery. For over three years now I just find that I cant sleep through the night. I wake like a zoombie at a point and I just go to the fridge and start eating. I didnt even know what was happening until my sister pointed it out to me. I have seen a doctor and asked him to explain this behaviour but he has come up with nothing. I believe that this habit started when I was dealing with migranes and taking prescription strength sleep aids. I also believe that it is this eating pattern that made me put on all this weight. I am trying to cut down and stop it but its not easy. Any thoughts?
Today is one of thoes temption days. I am going to a Nigerian party. Three people are graduating in one family so its going to be a bash. You know what that means for me. Temptation. There is going to be lotts of food. All the nigerian orishirishi that you usually dont get to eat in America. So I have to practice self control. This is my plan of action. When I get there I would start my meal with lotts of water. And the dive into a great salad. I will try to fill up on that. Then I would have a little moin moin (bean cake) and some fish or chicken. Then I would dance it all off. No rice for me today. Wish me well.
Just wanna say that I am proud of you Imoteda for trying to keep up with the agreement. Kinda makes it easier for me to do this stuff. Knowing that you are with me in this.
So thats my story so far.
I'll tell you how my party went tommorrow.
one love
