My weight loss
Peppered snail stew with boiled rice.

Today is day 4 of the new lifestyle and weight loss journey. You won’t believe what I weighed today, even with the eba and groundnut soup I cleared yesterday. It’s like magic. The digits keep dropping and I weighed 83kg.

Congratulations to us. Scroll down to see me standing on the scale with the
reading. I’m typing this night so I can post early tomorrow Thursday.

So, Wednesday is my day for prayer, meditation, and fasting. No workouts, there’ll not be much content to post. Sundays too, even though I eat all my meals, there is no form of work out. I just rest my body till Monday.

For Wednesdays, we still have dinner to share. Today I ate around 5 pm, that’s coconut while cooking dinner.

Dinner served at 6 pm and it is the best I ate in a long while. The peppered snail stew scatters my brain but I refuse to indulge. Just ate only a reasonable quantity and looked the other way.  I cannot come and go and start falling into food temptation when the journey hasn’t even gone anywhere.

Evening snack after dinner: 2 Agbalumo fruits (What’s it called in English oh).

Later at night, I squeezed 2 lemons into a glass of water and drank.

 

DINNER

Dinner was boiled rice with peppered snail stew.

RECIPE FOR PEPPERED SNAIL STEW

BEFORE YOU COOK THIS PEPPERED SNAIL STEW:

Dice the onion and share it in two parts. Dice the tomatoes, chop the red bell peppers and scotch bonnet pepper, the garlic, grate the ginger too, and set everything aside.
