Life is more interesting with God at the centre and with the right kind of friends

And So it begins

I'm officially taking today as my day 1 for my weightloss journey and this time, by God's grace, I will make it and hit my overall goal of 70kg, but we start small. The art of goal setting is that if you look at the big goals, you might be overwhelmed so I am using an app to track my weightloss.

So firstly it was a battle to get up but thankfully God helped me and I got up to the gym. I didn't have time to take my prekese tea that usually help me with my workouts but I only took my blood pressure meds so that I am safe and not pass out. Even though I planned to workout for an hour and a bit, I only did 40 minutes. It's not great but it's not too bad either so I'm taking that as a win.

I know I sweat a lot normally so I no longer use sweat to determine how good a workout I did but it does help though to know that I am burning those fats and calories. I don't want to get a new sports bra as I am hoping this one will stand the test of time that I can look back and see how far I have come in terms of my weightloss journey.

The trouble will definitely be the food that I eat so I am going to try and prepare healthy foods or if not healthy foods but at least small portions so that I can still make good progress.

In this journey of my weightloss, I know it will take all manner of sacrifices and for me to dig deep within myself to ensure that I am on the right path of this weightloss thing. My next target weight is to get than to 146.7kg and that will be my first milestone and also help me know that my efforts are paying off. Let's see what happens and also going into 2025 because I have set a huge weightloss goal by my next birthday so I am praying that God helps me to do that. Even if God has to take away my appetite 🤣 but in all seriousness though I am ready to drop all these excess weights that God did not ask me to carry. Let's get this show on the road I guess.

It's all my fault

So I know I said I wasn't gonna do this again but I just don't know what happened to me. I mean I know after having that spiritual attack in the form of health issues where I was hospitalised twice, it has been a battle getting back on the band wagon. It's crazy that initially I was taking it seriously and working on it, until a distraction and diversion came and I am in a worse place.

When I came back from Ghana, I was slowly getting back into the routine until I dropped off again. Honestly, the battle with my weight has been off and on so this time I have asked God to help me. The heaviest I have ever been is 152.3kg which is ridiculous for a young woman like me. I need to take better care of my health so that's what I am doing.

I have made a promise to myself that I have to do this with God because clearly no matter all the goodwill in the world, I still end up struggling. The thing that scares me more is that even with me taking insulin medications and also high blood pressure meds, I am still burying my head in the sand so no more. One thing that really scared me as well is that my prophet and my spiritual father in the Lord who never speaks about this to me because he knows how sensitive I am brought it up the other time and I knew for sure that he has seen something in the realms of the spirit which is linked to me being severely obese. Also he works in the hospital as a nurse so obviously he wants to ensure that I am healthy which is lovely.

The crazy part is that whenever God shows me something in the dream, I always see myself slim and fit so I need to get back to who God made me so enough lying about how some people are big boned or whatever. I have lost weight before and I know I can do it again. I just need to set a routine and a good diet and I know it'll be fine. Pray for me because even setting that routine is not easy. The temptations in my house is too much but I know God will help me. Let's get this show on the road and get rid of the excess fat that God did not design for me to carry. I will do no matter what it takes to get back to my ideal body and size and let's see what God will do.

This Time it's forever

So, I know I promised or rather said I will take my weightloss seriously but life happened and before I knew what was happening, I found myself where I am. It also didn't help that there was a spiritual attack on me that led to me almost dying but I thank God for who He is.

Anyway, I am making a committment to myself for this weightloss journey again. I started on the 15th of May 2024 weighing 151.8kg..... Yes you read that right. Today I climbed the scale and I am 150.8.kg. My goal is to get down to 80kg but ideally around 72 to 77kg so please pray for me. I also did a 20 minute workout today that killed me but anyhoo it is what it is.

Pray for me because I didn't do great with my diet today so it is back at the gym for me tomorrow and I have a trip to Ghana coming up so I must loose as much as I can. This time I mean business because time waits for nobody and I need to be healthy asap because who knows if the man God sends me will be patient enough for me to lose the weight eh.

How Did I Get Here !

Wow it really has been way too long. Honestly I never thought I will be back here again. I remember when I was on the journey and was successful, then Covid hit and everything just went downhill. I was still trying to loose weight and I took some natural supplements which helped me loose weight but I think when I was working from home full time and with the different weekly shifts, it just messed everything up. In July 2021, I was admitted into hospital and found I had Covid which is a story for another day but let's just say, if not for God I would have just probably died. Anyway so they found out I had diabetes type 2 and honestly I feel like my life stopped.

It took my mum and a few other people convincing me that I do not have a death sentence and finally out of hospital and carried on to try and eat healthy, when my HBA1C test which is the test they do for diabetes, they found out my numbers were in the pre-diabetic range which is incredible. However life happened as I was stressed with work and also situation with my parents relationship was not making it easier. Again, I began comforting myself with food but as I also have some issues with my kidneys that is being investigated, they keep telling me bad news etc but upon research I found out that diabetes could be the cause of it but the thing is they tried to racial profile me (Honestly UK system racism is terrible).

Anyway thank God for revelation because now I know that if I am able to reverse my type 2 diabetes, I can put everything else into remission and go back to living my new life to the full until it overflows like God promised us.

So I just restarted intermittent fasting for the last 2 weeks and as of 29th May I was down from 144.9kg to 141.7kg which was incredible but I ate too much on that day too as I prepared plantain frittatas and I loved it and now up to 14.2.1kg which is annoying.

I decided to use this platform just for myself so that I am kept accountable because whether the devil likes it or not, I am not going to be on insulin for the rest of my life.

It's very important that I face reality and look at how I can be better rather than bury my head in the sand. I have about 70kg to loose so y'all pray for me because this time it must end.

[ebzweightloss]

I guess we back again

Hey astonishing dames and damsel hope you are all very well. A huge happy new year 2020 to you. I know I said I wasn’t gonna do this again but honestly life happens and it knocked me back down and I put on so much weight even though I said I wouldn’t. 

Anyway so before the end of December I said I needed to loose all these excess weight and vowed to start in January but I needed to pace myself so I went gym once or twice without actually recording it.

Yesterday was officially day 1 of me restarting my weightloss journey and I must tell you it was a killer. As I am currently out of employment and in a shared house, I couldn’t work out at home so I had to go to the gym. This meant I had to walk 30 mins to the gym and 30 mins back. For someone who hasn’t done that in ages, it was a killer. Legit as soon as I got to the gym I had to wipe my face because I was drenched in sweat. I spoke to myself and encouraged myself why I had to do this. I don’t want people to laugh at me when I visit the motherland and especially don’t want to get married as a severely obese bride whenever that will happen. 

When I got back from the gym yesterday I must say I was so destroyed but it made me actually think of what I am putting in my mouth. I think going forward I just need to work on reducing the portions. Anyway as of yesterday I weighed 140kg even after gyming (I seriously need deliverance). Anyway as I’m also trying to not eat late, I stop eating by 7pm. After waking up this morning and doing what needs to be done, I weighed 139.3kg which is an amazing drop in one day. I think this has now pushed me to actually be focussed on my weightloss goal.

The first time it wasn’t easy and I know it’s not gonna be easy this time round. I think also because I know I am capable of dropping at least 20kg, I am going to try not to put pressure on myself and know that it is a process and my body needs to adjust to a lot of things to help me loose and drop the weight. Y’all please pray for me cause I am definitely going to be needing it. 

I’ll try and be updating this blog as often as possible so that at least I know it will be motivating me and you can also follow allow my journey.

Goodbye Obesity Class 3

Seriously, I don’t know why I do this. I didn’t mean to purposely abandon you. I hope you pretty damsels are doing well. The sun is coming out here in the UK which is super cool and I am excited for the summer. You know during this season of my weight-loss journey I have realized that my emotions and hormones play a huge role is weight-loss success or failure cause it is all about being able to full focus. However see the thing is if your emotions and hormones are at war I am telling you right you’ll just be like stuff this thing for realz.

For the past few weeks right, I have been stressed beyond measure, from the fact that the stupid Nigerian embassy were just driving me mad, to my career, family, love life, personal issues and so many more. Like sometimes I just wanted to throw in the towel and just say screw this but I kept thinking of the reason I started trying to be fit and I just kept picturing it and also imagining myself flaunting my fit body and being able to do things that right now I cannot do. I know I want to be fit for my health but the second reason is that I want my boyfriend to be able to pick me up. That sounds so weird and crazy and just silly but it’s true though. I pretend I don’t like it when guys used to pick me up when I was younger but I secretly adored it.

Once I found my focus and with the little 5kg targets I set with rewards attached with it, I don’t let my general weight-loss target overwhelm me so I take it every 5kg at a time and in fact I take it every 24 hours at a time. I need to do whatever it takes for me to be one step closer towards my goal. Definitely not eating after 6pm has helped a lot and I just cannot believe how rapid my stomach keeps shrinking and I am just trying to find different ways and things to eat cleaner and better. Also I am so happy that I can keep working out with Millionaire Hoy on YouTube. Listen I don’t care what anyone says but he is by far the best YouTube channel that motivates me to workout. He’s just so passionate and full of life and that’s what I need in a workout video.

So I started this weight-loss journey on the 1st of April this year 2017 and I just cannot believe that I have actually lost almost 15kg just have one more kg to loose to hit my 3rd target which I am so looking forward to doing. Also my exercise these days involve a whole lot of fat burning and strength training and as a result of that I have finally being able to bring my BMI down from a class 3 obesity to a class 2 and I am so excited but I know I have to keep focused to achieve the rest of the goals I have set for myself in terms of my weight-loss journey. My goal is to be 70kg or maybe 65 if I am able to but when I get to 70 I may stop but I am not sure yet, also want to get my BMI down to either a 19 or 20 and then from there will maintain it like mad. I have made myself a promise that once I break away and loose the excess fat, I am going to treat my body like the temple of God it is and take care of it.

I know God has called me to do so many things and I am not about to die young just because I was too lazy or I didn’t really care about my body. I also want to prove to myself that nothing is impossible and I know that once I am able to defeat obesity and be healthy, nothing is impossible and that also includes me being a successful network marketer and successful in other areas of my life. Also once I have defeated obesity, nothing is impossible for me and I know my confidence will increase and won’t take nonsense from people. Also I really don’t want insults when I go Africa on holiday this year. I hope that I will be able to hit my goal of a size 16 dress and preferably a small 16 which will make me know I am close to a 14. I am so excited and I seriously cannot wait to give away all my big dresses and just keep from 14 to a 10. I am so excited and I cannot wait to welcome my new body. With God all things are possible. My weight-loss journey is different this time because God is at the center of it.

It’s more Mental

Hey pretty damsels, I hope you are doing awesome. I know I’ve been kinda gone for a while but so much have happened. I cannot believe we are nearly at the half of the year 2017, I hope at the end of this year, I will have achieved most of my goals.

This past week and a bit has been a struggle for realzzzzz. I swear down right, it was one of  those weeks were my hormones were flaring up left, right and center. The amount of times that I wanted to punch someone in the face or just wack someone with a baseball bat is so unreal. I think it was mainly because I was stressed with job, my Nigerian passport and missing my boyfriend and I really want to have a super fit body.

Like the other day Facebook did a throw back and I saw a video of when I was in high school and honestly I just wanted to cry, you could just see how slim I looked and I could not believe how I let myself go so now I am like screw it I’m getting my body back.

I used to force my body to workout and it took all the energy in me to do it until I realize something. For you to achieve anything significant, you have to first see it within the domains of your minds. I was so determined to hit my 10kg weight loss goal. Honestly it was the most difficult thing I have ever done so far. I guess it was because this time I REALLY wanted to loose this excess weight and most importantly I wanted to be healthy again. I wanted to be how I was when I was in Nigeria. I was so healthy and could run for so long. 

See I used to think that it was all about how much sweat is pouring from my workout and that’s all well and good but the truth is exercise is only about 20 to 30 percent of weight loss and it’s all about your diet. Like I send before it’s all in your mind. There were times when like I just like wanted to binge on ice-cream and cake cause I was so upset. These days I don’t even know why I get upset anymore. Anyway now I am so pleased that as of today I have lost a total of 10.2 kg. I can’t wait to get off the 41s on my bmi. I started of being morbidly obese and I am almost just obese and I can then work my way to a healthy BMI but it all starts in the mind. Thanks to Millionaire Hoy on YouTube who keeps helping me bust my ass in a workout and taking care of myself in the kitchen.

My clothes have started falling down though which is really good and I am really excited which mean that a size 18 is in sight. Although I am not where I want to be, I am not where I used to be. I told people I was a size 20 and in reality I was a 22 so now I have lost weight I am a proper 20 and I can’t wait to get to a normal 18 and work my way down. For me it’s no longer about being skinny but about being healthy. The day when I see flat stomach will be the beginning of a new era and I can’t wait to get there. I’m telling you now if you make up your mind what you can achieve, your body will follow you. I believe I can do this and with God on my side, I know I will smash all my weight and fitness goals.

Consistency is the Key

Hey pretty damsels, hope you are all well. Let me officially wish you an incredible month of may. Is it me or does it feel like I haven’t spoken to you in like forever. I know you feel my drift. Honestly last week was a struggle for realz... From the God knows what mood swings to taking it out on someone who is really special to me, to thinking God knows what then I realized yep I have got to be ovulating. My weights kept fluctuating last week but you know what is a brand new week and a brand new month so let’s bring on the game face and crush it on another week.

So when I ordered my dumbbells I was so excited and then I looked on Ebay and saw cheaper dumbbells so I decided when the dumbbells arrived, I was going to send it back and order it from Ebay rather than amazon. However when it got here, I just could not be asked to call for a pickup and refund so I said you know what screw it I’ll use it to workout. Anyway The first day I used it to workout was on Friday and mann I died and went to heaven and came back again. Like for reals working out with dumbbells is not a child’s play. It’s for those who are really serious about exercising and being healthy and fit and just generally changing their bodies and Lifestyle.

So I knew I needed to get help if I was to do this for a longer time so I did by using a Garcinia Plus supplement which is just heaven because it just basically curbs my hunger and I don’t get that hungry therefore I eat less. Now I am learning to listen to my body in terms of when I feed it and when. I have always been trying to push myself in terms of my workout and I have decided that when working out with body weight only, I will do a 45 to 60 minutes workout but when I included weights a maximum of 40 minutes. At the end of the day, I don’t want to pull a ligament or hurt myself, it is just about the progression and one day I will be able to do exercises I can’t do just yet.

Every time I see a Burpee come up I scream curse you BURPEE like seriously who invented burpee as a hiit workout. Are you people seriously trying to kill me. However I just have to try and do what I can until one day I am able to do burpees or even the advanced one. I am glad though that I am finally able to do a full push-up, granted only about 2 or 3 but still it is better than nothing and with time, I will just be doing a full push-up rather than doing them on my knees. I am so glad that I am able to fit into this non-stretchy jeans my mum got me and it took four weeks of exercising and eating right so hopefully the next four weeks of eating right and exercising, I may fit into a size 18 if I am fortunate. I mean it’s all about taking it one Kilo at a time. I gave myself till my 24th birthday which is this friday to get to a 10kg weight loss so let’s see how I do. I am at 9.4kg loss and I know I can do it as long as I don’t loose focus which is just the key.

I think the thing that makes weight loss different this time is because I keep asking God that if He wakes me up I will exercise because God knows if I don’t wake up in the morning you can forget about me exercising. Also every time I exercise, I literally ask God to help me and He has been helping me and that is definitely what has helped me to loose weight so far. Once I get to my ideal weight of 70kg I will be so happy and then I can start toning my body and shaping it the way I want it to be. Jeff says he wants me to have an hour glass figure and I’m like mate I ain’t doing this solely for you, it is for me so whatever I like, if you don’t like it tough. I like him because he’s calm and cool though and he just has been the only guy that has ever succeeded in convincing me to get up my ass and exercise to loose weight and be healthy. Anyway here is to the rest of my future living a better and healthier life. I really want to be able to eat my fufu, pounded yam and all sorts but I have to sacrifice now so that once I shift all the weight, I will be able to do that without feeling terrible. It’s time to get my body and my sexiness back.

I am so excited to see what the end result shows. At the end of the day, the sacrifices or the laziness you show today will determine the body you live in tomorrow. I am determined to make God’s temple the best it can ever be. I just have to keep going until everyone can see the drastic weight loss and all the haters will be put to shame and so many guys will wish they fell in love with me hahahaha. Seriously though and most importantly I am doing it for my health and to no longer be obese anymore. With God on my side there is nothing that is too difficult for me to accomplish so LET’S DO THIS

[ebzweightloss]

Pick yourself up

Hey pretty damsels, I hope you all are doing well and also working towards your goals if you have then. If you don’t you should cause that’s the only way you achieve greatness and pushing yourself. I hope this post inspires someone reading this

So last night, I was thinking and I was in different moods as to why I am really doing this whole weight loss thing and killing myself then it hit me. I don’t want to get married being a plus size. I may not be skinny on my wedding day depending on when I get married, I don’t even have a fiancé loool. Anyway I want to look really good and most importantly I want to be able to dance properly and not be out of breathe easily. I also wish secretly that my future husband will pick me up on our wedding day. I know I’ve been living in fairy land for too long but it is what it is right.

Anyway I have been anticipating my yoga mat and dumbells and I really want them to come so that I can actually start using them to exercise. I am so glad that the yoga mat came today so now I just have to wait for the dumbells. So today because I am crazy and I wanted to push myself to a point where I have nothing left to give, I decided to do millionaire Hoy extreme fat burning HIIT workout. I swear by the end of it I was like Oh my God. Like God what is this, I have no idea where all the expressions were coming from but man I was done. It was only a 45 miniutes workout but best believe it took me two hours to exercise. When I was done right, sweat was still dripping and even my flannel was filled with sweat. I had sweat from the top of my head to the sole of my foot. It was not funny but I am so glad I did it cause I am not a quitter. Even though I felt like quitting right, I just had to push through and keep fighting because let’s be honest I am the only one that will regret it if I give up now.

Also last week I was just chilling and not being very disciplined that’s why my weight was fluctuating. So now I have decided to actually listen to my body. I mean before I eat now I have to ensure that I am actually hungry and that not because it’s time to eat. Also I need to significantly cut down on the carbs I eat and try to eat more proteins. It is really difficult though because I live at home with my parents. If I was by myself it would be easier as I would just buy majority of proteins but it’s alright, I have to make do with what I have right now until I am able to move. I may loose a lot of weight by the time I am ready to move so who knows right. Sometimes you have a rubbish week where you feel like quitting but as a lady it is very important to pay attention to your hormones because I feel like majority of my eating habits come from my hormones so now it’s time to keep them in check and loose all these excess weight. 

I am so excited to be kicking some ass and I just cannot wait to see the end result of my weight loss journey. It’s gonna be a mad thing innit and I can finally wear a bikini at the beach and not be too self conscious of my stomach. I am actually so bless my boyfriend likes me the way I am plus size but I want to be healthy and if he becomes my husband then bonus but I can assure you I am not doing it for him. It is very important that you find your deep burning reason for yourself and not anyone else because that is the only thing that will motivate you to eat healthy and exercise to the best of your ability by giving your 100 percent each time you workout. Anyone who is on this weight loss journey goodluck and I totally believe you can smash it. God has got your back just do your part and He will do the rest.

Just F#@%*$ This

Hey pretty damsels hope you are all well. I know I haven’t written in a while but I am sure you all understand that I have a life outside of tumblr too. I did however miss writing here so I figured I will update you on my weight loss journey and hope it inspires someone who is reading this.

So last week was one of those weeks that I just struggled so much and to be honest part of it is really my fault. Okay let’s keep it real it was all my fault. I swear I am that lady who just wants a kick ass fit body but I am in love with food and especially African food. It is so bad for me when loosing weight cause the struggle is real. I think last week was definitely one of those weeks I just wanted to say you know what screw this, let’s have Lipo surgery loool. Then I thought to myself right. It wasn’t surgery that made me plus size so I am just gonna have to dig deep and kick some ass which is what I thought I’ve been doing. Honestly I was really discouraged, I think part of it was the fact I really miss my boyfriend and I just wanted to see him and kiss him and everything will be all better but it was more especially because I have been working out and my weight was just fluctuating which was just doing my head in.

Anyway I did something I have never done before that’s how you know I mean business. I placed an order for a yoga mat and a pair of 3kg dumbells. I’ve been hearing things that the more muscle you build, the more fat you can burn and the more toned you will be. So I figured let’s give this a shot. I’m so excited and nervous to see what is going to happen once I actually start doing strength training with weights. You know what I always say is feel the fear and do it anyway. If I have to crawl to my end goal I will but honest I really felt like quitting but you know what I’ve given myself 3 to 6 months and then if I still want to quit by then I can do so. Wish me success and I am so grateful to God as He keeps helping me.

Are you a GIRL or a WOMAN

Hey damsels hope you are all keeping well. Today I have just come to the realisation that if you treat your body like garbage you get garbage but if you spend time looking after it then of course it will look after you. I remember something that my pastor Dr Mumba said when he was preaching one Sunday and honestly it has stuck with me ever since and any time I want to give up I just remember what he said and I just have to keep going.

Today was just the absolute test to my determination to loose weight. I was already completely sore from my workout yesterday but like a silly human being I just decided you know what I’m gonna go again. Anyway I got dressed for workout and I wanted to do fitness blender workout as I had heard so much about it but after 2 minutes I was like stuff this. I don’t know if it’s because they are not as motivating or empowering as millionaire Hoy. I’m not saying the workouts are not good but I guess there is something about Hoy that just gives me life and helps me to keep going. 

Anyway I played one of Hoy’s 35 minutes exercises to do. I have done this exercise before but mann I swear today I wanted to die. Today was the first time in my life when I’ve wanted to cry when exercising but I had to just keep going.The truth is there is something that there is always that moment or event that separates the plants from the weeds, the men from the boys and the women from the girls. Today was definitely a testing time for me. I had pains in places where I didn’t even know I could feel pain, I was sweating like I had a shower, I mean I had sweat in my eyes, in my ears you name it. However I am so glad that I kept pushing until that final beep. Now I just have to take care of my body nutritionally and help the body burn more fat and very soon get to my first major target of going down 10kg. I am so looking forward to it. I am so determined to keep going until I get to my goal even if I get there crawling.

[ebzweightloss]

Fight Through the Pain

Hey pretty damsels. I honestly have made a promise to myself that once I shift all these excess weight I am never again eating like I don’t care about my body. So since I am not really working, I don’t have money to buy the right equipments and so I asked my mum if she could get certain things for me and she agreed - Talk about shocking. My mum has always been there and supported me through my fitness journey. I think she had to learn that if you speak too much about my weight I go into hibernation so I just have to come to the place by myself which I have now done.

Anyway I ended up picking two amazing sports bras which is definitely coming in handy during my workouts. So yesterday was the first time I used the sports bras and it felt kinda strange. Like my boobs was jumping up and down and I felt a little uncomfortable but I had to remember that I was loosing weight so I just have to get over it.

Honestly Millionaire Hoy workouts on YouTube give me life. I did the workout which I did with my mum at the weekend and I swear I was drowning in a pool of my own sweat and everything was aching, my body was shaking and I felt like a trailer just ran over me by the end of it. This workout got sweat in my eyes which was annoying and I don’t even know the amount of water bottles I finished. The exercise was so tough but I had to keep reminding myself of why I am doing this and what I aim to achieve at the end of it and I had to keep going.

I was a bit disappointed with myself towards the end of the day because I had food without vegetables. For my dinner/late lunch I had sweet potatoes with egg sauce and I was mad that there were no vegetables. I must tell you though it really was a struggle to finish that food which means my stomach has shrunk again which is really good as now it is helping me lose weight too. I just have to reduce my portion size even a little bit more. I just hope I can keep this up and loose all these excess weight and just be very healthy and fit like I used to.

[ebzweightloss]

OH JESUS

Hey pretty damsels, I hope you are having a smashing day. I am like super excited about the end results of my weight-loss journey. I know if I can loose 1kg, I can loose however many kilos I need to get to my ideal weight.

So like I mentioned in my last post, I received an unexpected visitor and I was so mad cause it just spoilt my plans so anyway I was planning not to workout until after my period was over. You remember I said I made a deal with God that if He wakes me up, I will exercise no matter how I felt. So I got up on Saturday and climbed the scale and I was kind of upset because my weight had gone up 0.5kg and I realised it was the hot chocolate that I had Friday night. Anyway I got dressed and was going down to workout and my mum decided to join me too which made the workout more fun and enabled me to keep going.

After a good 30 minutes workout with millionaire Hoy, I felt like a trailer just ran over me like for real. Anyway I just had to keep reminding myself the real reason I am loosing weight and not the one I tell people (we all have our façade reason and our real reason). On another bright note, it looks like my stomach is also shrinking which is really good so that the fat deposits in my body can be broken down and therefore I loose more weight. 

Anyone who knows me knows I love my plantain and that’s probably the main reason I ended up being morbidly obese. It’s kinda bad for you anyway then adding frying it, it’s just HELL TO THE NEVER. I’m so glad that I’ve gone from eating 4 boiled plantains to 3 and then 2. However when I had 2 boiled plantains, I was seriously struggling to finish it so I think I’ll just make one hence forth. I think I am really learning the whole balance finally of exercising and eating the right kind of food. Also my mindset has totally change about being healthy and what it really takes to do it. My mind is like a razor beam focus and I know I can do this especially with God in the equation this time.

OH BUTTERMINT

Hey pretty damsels, hope you are all well. Yay it’s friday, I am so excited for the weekend and to get into the process of finding and loving myself once again.

So I made a deal with God and obviously I asked Him to help me with this huge weight loss journey that I am embarking on and THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I am going to re-start a weight loss journey. Anyway this deal involved me doing what it took to push myself and exercise and I will ask God to wake me up early to workout as I know once it gets to 12.pm I am not doing any form of exercise at all. Anyway so today I woke and I was too tired to do any exercise and especially not a HITT workout from Millionaire Hoy on YouTube which has been my go to channel for exercise. I decided to workout tomorrow instead and give myself a rest as I am just like destroyed but guess what happened. I just got an unwanted guest.

Damn you period.... Like seriously it could have waited for me to exercise like tomorrow and come on sunday but noooo it decides to be bossy and show up unannounced. To be fair though I have been getting some signs and signals in my body that it was around the corner but I thought it would come next week “oh buttermint” what am I going to do now....

I think I may just have to take long walks or maybe doing seriously low impact exercise only after taking my natural supplement to keep the pain in check cause God knows on my period I cannot handle that pain and exercise pain too. I’m going to try and push myself harder from next week in terms of my exercise and hopefully I’ll loose some more Kilograms and I really will be so happy. My next goal is to loose 5kg which would make a total loss of 10kg so I am really looking forward to it. Anyway I will definitely keep up with my healthy eating habbits as I don’t want to have to kill myself to loose it again. Wish me the best of luck as I continue this journey. Have an awesome weekend everyone.

Just Take The Step

Hey pretty damsels. I hope you are all keeping well. I must say this week I had had to reach deep inside of me in many ways than one and there were times when I just wanted be like you know what screw this, I’m out of here then I realised one thing, the time will pass anyway and I sure as hell don’t want to live with a bunch of regrets.

When I started my weightloss journey, I pretty much knew what I had to do just eat less and workout more. You see nobody ever tells you that it will take a whole load of motivation and self discipline to just keep doing the same things over and over and over and over again until you get to where you are going.

I started off on a weight of 133.5kg and my ideal weight is to get to a healthy weight of 65 to 80kg which should bring me to be about a UK size 10 to 12 dress size. I have set a very long time frame for this because I don’t want to rush the process and also I know given my job and hopefully new job too, I may not be able to exercise every single day. However you know what stuff it cause life happens and this journey for me is a marathon. I am really chuffed though that I am 5kg lighter so I just need to push for the next 5 and work from there.

The reason for starting this is because I really want to be able to look good naked again and also want to be able to get a belly piercing even though I am really scared of needles but you know what stuff it - who cares. I also want to be really healthy for when God sends me that amazing man who gets the previlage of calling me wife. Nobody likes an unfit wife as I sure as heaven don’t want an unfit husband so I have to really make healthier choices and get really disciplined and just ensure I live a healthy lifestyle.

For me anytime I just feel like I just can’t be asked to exercise again and especially because my body will be in pain exercising without taking a break until about day 4 or 5 of intense exercising of only 30 minutes HITT workout I just have to reach really inside of me and just find the strength and also because Jesus and I have made a deal and I know He’s keeping His part so it’s up to me to keep mine too.

I’ll try updating this blog as often as I possibly can with my progress and things like that.

Thatz whatsup oh

Hey pretty damsels, so I know it’s been years since I came on this. To be honest I really didn't know I was going to back here but life happens eh...

Anyway so I am embarking on a weight loss journey and I feel like this platform is the best place to record my journey. Not necessarily for recognition but more so that I am kept accountable to myself and ensure I am eating right and exercising right. I have a very long way to go but I know I can do it with the right focus so wish me success.
