Weigh in day! Yes am back!

Its the 42nd day! yeaay!
Omg! i have been so occupied. My nanny took a weekend off and its taking a big toll on me, but i have been managing anyways, but not enough to have "me" time to blog. I have been terribly busy with these kids and all that could get to my head is how did my grandma manage in taking care of 11 kids after her husband died at an early age? I will never know cos she is gone, may the souls of all the faithful departed RIP.

More after the cut...



So I weighed in this week and I lost 4.4kg!
Yes! actually lost some "good" weight after 2weeks of almost poor weight loss.
Thanks to my cambridge weight plan and my ever busy hyper kids phew! (muah love you guys).
Am so thrilled I have done a come back!
I have so much energy now than I can ever remember.
My level of activity in a day is growing and I don't get tired so easily.
Am so happy ... My hubby is so happy we are working on the weight.
And I really want to thank him for loving me just the way I am and being there for me every step of the way, "obim, you can't imagine how much i appreciate you and adore you, you are the wind within my wings and love you unconditionally"

For all those sending me those beautiful wishes, you don't know what you guys are doing to my self confidence, I will forever hold you guys dear to my heart.

Next week is before and after photos week, looking forward to it too! *winks*

Hubby is back, let him manage the kids ( trust him on this) while I rush to market...
Will be back soon people, won't stay long in the market cos I hate shopping one of the things fatness caused.

Sleep blogging

Really planned on blogging today but mehn today has been so busy. From morning till now.
Had a tight schedule at work, my nanny took some days off so I was left with joggling two kids and you know how tasking and demanding they are especially at there age.
It's really been a long evening from bathing to feeding then to prepping them to sleep to getting ready for work the list continues...
Tried not to cheat with all this happening around me, and yes am keeping my head above water. Took my 3 meals and all

So am actually sleep blogging good night before I write ... Tfcfdtacmo

What is your point of reference

Let the word in you constantly drown the word you hear around you

The Fat around my waist

So i have to vent alittle just give me some air! am really boiling with thoughts!
you see, loosing weight can be tricky, the parts that you would really want to start seeing visible difference are usually that part the crawls in weight loss!
For me it's my arm and waist turned tummy. I have lost a considerable weight that should be visible but isn't because of the massive fat i still need to loose, when people look at me they first glance at my waist then my arm before they look at my face and say "wow you have lost some weight, your face looks trimmer" like they are trying really hard to convince themselves with the words they utter and am like seriously??? After all the hardwork am putting through?
You know, people expect a lot from others but little from themselves they feel good being at the other end, poking and suggesting but not wondering what impact there words can be. Hey! Am not a saint, but I believe in giving people a chance and not just once.
I have tasted weight loss failure a lot of times and I know that look and also that unspoken reaction/gesture emanating from that body language.
It's not easy on me so don't make it harder! Atleast you have noticed the face, am working on me so cheer on and give me time, am not close to being there but surely moving ahead.

Am already at war with "fat" so let me fight my battle one at a time... Walks away ...

Bad girl apologises to body...

I have been a bad girl, i mean very bad girl to body and sincerely have not appreciated my body enough.

Ever since i balloned to my initial start weight 160kg, i have hated my body, never given it breathing space, always nagging about how bad it made me feel but the truth is i am also involved in making it this way... so i decided to write an apology letter to my body and also promise to stay committed to my journey...

See letter after the cut

Dear Body,

Ever since i started loosing weight, i have seen you on a different light, i know that i have been very terrible to you, eating everything and anything that flies past and not giving a damn to what you feel or think...

I have continously trampled on your ego and keep blaming you for all my mishap, the other day i was furious at you for even allowing me to blow to this this stage, making me go through so much stress to help you reduce the fat which you kept piling in...

Yes i know you tried warning me with those little signs you give my tummy when am full but i kept eating with my eyes and damning you for having the guts to warn me for overfeeding because i was already very angry.

I have been a bad buddie... i promised to be there for you but i have seriously failed, i have allowed people to laugh at you forgetting that we are in this together, i have always referred you to as "this" body instead of "my" body, i have allowed so many bad moments take a toll of our relationship but all is ending now.

Yes i know alot of water has passed under the bridge but am willing to make amends... I have started to make one actually...

From this day onwards, i want to remind you about the commitment i made to you on my birthday, to treat you right, make you feel light and keep you happy, healthy and fit.

If i never told you, know now, I appreciate you even with all that pounds of fat... yes!!! ... you held in my two pretty ones for 9 months ... and we did it... same way we will, hand in hand loose the weight.

Also, thank you for taking all my bullshit and still being strong for me, no complications, no bad health nothing.

As we keep committed in this weight loss journey, keep in mind that .... it will end in praise!!!

                                                                                  Yours One and Only

Thank you Guys!!! "Confidence rolls in!" Over 10,000 Veiws!!!



Thank You guys!

 Thank you guys am so grateful... BUT START COMMENTING NAA.... BIKO!!!
I just checked and i saw that i have more than 10,000 views... it may be small to the "big guys" but my Oga at the top knows its something huge to me and am so grateful!

There is something i have been battling to tell you guys, normally i should have added it to my to do list but i feel very ashamed to do so, not anymore! and well there is no need to add it to my to do list cos i have accomplished it!

Read my story after the cut ...


So i have been learning how to drive... yes asin drive... alot of people will go like "seriously???? Nelly? a whole you?! ... lol its a half me ... lol
Well yes and this is not because i dont have a car or cant get a trainer to teach me the scopes, its just about me and my lost confidence which am getting back.... it affected everything even getting behind the wheel!

After the birth of my first child, i tried learning how to drive but i stopped because of two things;
I was learning with a small golf car from the training school and it was just too difficult fitting in properly on the seat, so i got really very discouraged.
Secondly, the seats just cant be adjusted! and i freaking hate manual!
Now am learning again after my second child and though i felt like quitting but i felt i can do this and i put in all my willpower in to it.

Hubby was the one that advised i learn with manual gear that it helps in moulding one into being a better driver. So i tried, and i made it! to gear 2 anyway and managed to convince him that am ready to learn with our car.. lol

In the past week i have actually been driving, i went to Ikorodu road... the very busy Ojota, and 3rd third mainland! am so happy not because am going places of course thats a plus but because for a long time in my life that i can rememeber my "confidence" is streaming back in, Yes alot of people tell me naa nelly infact you are one of those very confident ladies i have ever known but they never know how i struggle everyday within me to be that jovial, bubbly person who is all smiles and laughs in the surface...

As i said, am not close to being there yet, but truly loving the results, Now am driving, next week i should be cycling .... Oh yes! ... and it will end in praise!
