My New Lifestyle And Weight Loss Journey Day 1 Cont’d

Yesterday, being the first day, As soon as I weighed myself, entered the bedroom and quickly jogged on the spot for 3 minutes (I need a Canon DSLR camera, oh, to be able to record my home exercises for us) Sha, till I cross that milestone, we’ll manage with paper description.

I did planking for 35 seconds (This third abeg) If you can plank for 60 seconds raise up your hands let me confer you with an award. Planking is what works on every part of the body, burning all those fats that cause folds on the sides and making you sweat by force but it is to be the hardest form of work out. Sometimes I do a plank for 45 minutes when I really push myself. I really want to do a video of it as proof.

Then I did 30 sit-ups. When I started to do sit-ups some years back, it wasn’t easy o. I started with sit-ups a day and gradually increased until now I can go 70 sit-ups if I really push myself and with consistency, within a month my tummy size reduces drastically until longer throat for big plates of food sends my downhill again.

I reject it this time around oh.  So, I did 25 push-ups with my knees on the floor of course not yet graduated to that serious proper push up till sometime later. the balls (30 times), boxed the air 20 times.

20 butt kickers and 5 push up planks. Dear God, please bless me with a DSLR camera to record my lone quick workout sessions. I beg you papa mi!

I will eat EVERYTHING but in smaller portions. I won’t skip anything called food. Every food I love will enter my mouth well well unless of course sugar and dairy products that I know are not good for me. Yesterday was Day one, I didn’t have much time to plan and had to just eat what was available. The plate below is my breakfast.

Some garden eggs, 2 carrots, and 2 boiled eggs, that’s all and surprisingly, that was filling enough.  No fancy breakfast but today, after posting this, I’ll enter the kitchen and cook some yummy small portion breakfast

For dinner, I ate macaroni with very delicious shredded chicken vegetable sauce. The stock from this shredded chicken was used to cook the vegetables. Dinner at 4 pm, so, I do not go to bed with a full stomach. The food has enough time to play and digest before bedtime. I’ll try my best not to eat late dinner as I continue on this healthy living and weight loss journey.

• 3 Bunches spring onion
• 1 large red onion
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 small carrots
• 1 large green pepper
• 1 cup chopped cabbage
• Seasoning cubes
• Salt
• 2 tablespoons flour to slightly thicken
• Stock
• Steamed shredded chicken

In pictures oh. If you are interested in the cooking direction, let me know in the comment section below and I’ll include it here.

COOKING DIRECTION

1. Boil the chicken with some water, salt, and onion. Set Aside. Dice the onion and spring onion bulbs (White part)  together. chop the carrots and set aside. chop the spring onion stalk (The green part) to the desired size and set aside too. Pound or chop the fresh pepper. Mix the flour with water until a bit runny, set aside.
2. In a frying pan or cooking pot, heat the vegetable oil. Next add the onion, pepper, white part of the spring onion, seasoning cube, and stir very well. Stir for about 20 seconds or till satisfied before adding the cabbage, carrots, and green part of the spring onion.
3. Add the stock and some water if the stock is too small.
4. Check for salt and add if needed.
5. Add the flour now and stir very well. You’ll see it thickening immediately. Take off the heat immediately so that the vegetables don’t lose their freshness.
6. Sere with your boiled carbs … macaroni, spaghetti, rice, and so on.

I wish myself luck.
