Dieting in Lagos,Nigeria

So I got a message from one of my readers asking how I manage to diet in Lagos considering the hostel and bustle of Lagos. And my answer is simple... "Na God"

But the truth remains that I still need to do the physical work. I tell myself the truth and that's simple, the time to start is now... Not tomorrow not after Easter or public holidays .... Am starting now and amazed on how strong willed I have been afterwards. I see myself doing what I thought was earthly impossible.
Like I have mentioned earlier, I have changed my lifestyle, instead of driving down to my son's school, I walk down there and it may seem pretty easy to others but I have never done that in my life.
Now I appreciate my body the more, and am so sorry for putting it in so much stress and am willing to make amends...infact I wrote a letter to "body" will post soon.

I know Lagos and nigeria as a whole is hectic but we have to leave, it's only a fool that will be told to die and will ask ways to to die (remixing the adage lol).

So my daily routine begins with me waking by 4am to start my hectic journey, go through traffic and settle my son at school before settling at work, and then go through my stressful day at work, pick my child and then head for home get ready for the next day and then the cycle continues, that was why I actually started the diet, it gives me time to "eat" right in my sedentary day to day life.

Yes my dear, it's so possible to diet in nigeria admist the hectic lifestyle just do the following:

Plan, plan, plan: this can never be over emphasized,when you are coordinated with self you will be surprised the long way this can go.

Have a motivator: it could be anything, mine is to wear bum shorts to shoprite! Of course with hubby by myside ... Lol but this is one of my many motivations

Be committed: commitment is not the same as being interested you need to reaaaaalllllly want it from the depth of your soul, that will stem up will power and discipline.

No excuses: stop giving yourself 1001 reason why you can't,  you not the first mother, single lady, wife, or working person

Keep at it: don't give up, you may not see results but always remember it will take 4 weeks to notice a change, 8 weeks for close family to see it an 12weeks for the world to notice. So no giving up.

Meanwhile I have survived Easter! Phew!!!
