What a WAIST of good time!!!

Drats!!!!! That nasty shrilling sound of the alarm clock has once again disturbed your wonderful adventure in lala land!!!! Aaaaargh! You were just about to receive that beautiful fat cheque that had "One Hundred Million Dollars only" boldly written on it. Dragging your sleepy self off the bed you say a quick "Thank You" prayer to your Oga @ the top*, go straight to the bathroom and turn on the water heater, bring out either the unironed baffs and try to impatiently smoothen or if you are meticulous, you probably have that sorted weekly!

Time is sooo against you, but you don't because of that carry your mouth out of the house with that odour wey fit rise our dead heroes past and you still wash all the creases and crevices on your body very well. You still even take the time to lavishly apply Venus De milo on your skin and even massage it in. Make up sef go join the mix. If you have kids, they are still well sorted, home work done and won't starve in school!

Before I begin to preach again :p......it is only a routine that apparently works, and being consistent at it is what brings results. Why don't you kuku do a roaster and brush your mouth on Monday and leave it on Tuesday through to Friday then clean it again on saturday because you have a wedding? Or brush your Brazilian weave every other day! Or go and do nos 2 and decide you are too tired to clean your behind and convince yourself you can leave it till the next day! Hian! Biko no near person that day ooo if you try am!!Teeheehee

In essence people, eating right and achieving a consistent healthy living should be a LIFESTYLE!!!! Don't treat it like immunization, or a vacay or a trip to the moon (should in case you get that lucky) rather it should be like that vitamin you pop in your mouth daily or even water we drink. When you can develop a routine trust me you start to ball.....it becomes easy peasy lemon squeasy! It's always a bit tricky at first just as with any other routine. That's why you would wake up your toddler @ 6am in the morning and she will wail and wail because she just doesn't get why her beauty sleep should be interrupted just because you wanna clean her up. But check her out a few months later or a year or two and she's the one struggling to collect her toothbrush from you and wants to do it herself and is glad to have a shower! Magic didn't happen.....she has just gotten use to that routine and has decided to take it as it is and enjoy the ride (which a lot of we adults should learn from).

To my cubs, everyday snacks are apples, ananana (as my 18 month old will say), seedless grapes, mangoes, squeezed orange juice etc because a lifestyle has been created in our home unlike your regular processed food and co. I'm not saying they don't eat biscuits, ribena and all that.....they do...they are kids. Though to be honest it started from me trying to surround myself with healthy options at ALL times.

Spot the difference!!!

 But aside the ones they take to school as break time snacks with their full meals.....shikena! Let all those "snacks" stay as treats and not be consumed on the daily. If you love your kids(which i believe we all do immensely) and you want them to grow up to be healthy adults, lets stop all that "pampering" the wrong way. That's why kids obesity is on the increase and it breaks my heart. We are what we eat. And you might even mutter to yourself now saying 'but my kids are not fat joor'.....let's not wait till it becomes a challenge. I'm sure we won't want our beloved children to struggle the way most of us have concerning weight issues and other health concerns. #icanseethenods.....

Thats my grilled chicken on the top rack....and the animal fat drained on the tray!!! So without saying too much you can imagine how much calories you can save by grilling!!!

Your regular...."packed full" burger apx 1,400 kcal

When you apply all these to your life, then taking a reasonable cup of ice cream or a slice of pizza occasionally (meaning like every other month cos i know some people can make that weekly, hian!) won't harm your waistline. Hence you live a balanced and happy existence having made all the necessary substitutions, thereby no cravings that can make you feel like an addict in therapy!

Healthy version made to perfection....same delight!!! Apx 480kcals
