Breakfast for champions.

Breakfast 002Breakfast 001

Breafast 003Breakfast 004

My week has been going alright so far. How about yours?

I just came back from a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) which I had with a personal trainer at the gym.

I must confess that dude was mean but very supportive making sure I completed all the exercises he mapped out for today. Every part of my body felt the hit but it is for my own overall good as I have determined to kick out fat, stay healthy and keep trim.

I actually have a goal to lose 10kg in 6 months (wish me luck), else there will be no new clothes in the coming year for summer till I arrive at my target size and shape. My main concern has been my stubborn pot belly, which is a product of uninformed eating habits and lifestyle.

So it is time for breakfast which I have been advised never to skip and to make sure I eat it at the right time which is around 7am –  8am since our body has been at rest (fasting) throughout the night, that is assuming you are not one of those who wake up at night to have a bite from whatever is available in the fridge or on the kitchen table.

 I settled for porridge garnished with some seeds and berries, boiled eggs and a glass of smoothie, see recipe below;

 1 Cup of Porridge (Oats)

 2 Cups of Water

2 Boiled Eggs (picture below shows one becau   se i couldn’t wait to eat that before taking pictures for the blog).

2 Teaspoons of Chia Seeds

2 Teaspoons of Raw Organic Cacao Nibs

2 Cups of Blueberries

Cook in water for 3 minutes.

Serve and enjoy with a glass of smoothie.

Sweet Sour Smoothie (SSS)

I am a fanatical lover of green/vegetable smoothies but i also do fruits and other colours too.

One thing with making smoothies is the freestyle involved. You can combine several vegetables, fruits and seeds, the way you like to achieve the smoothie you want, it is what they call open source in the technology word.

Recipe;

2 cups Watermelon

2 Limes

1 Lemon

1 cup Pineapple

10 Strawberries

Sesame seeds ( Sesame seeds contain the plant compound sesamin, which has been shown to lower cholesterol, prevent high blood pressure, and protect the body from liver damage.)- Nutriliving.com

This is sweet and i love it.

THANK GOD IS FRIDAY. #TGIF

#TGIF is not an excuse to load up on calories,sugar and fat tho because what you eat, is what you reap in your body especially your belly.

On a lighter note, my church mind is playing on me as per this healthy living lifestyle i signed up to.

When our Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 17 vs 21 “But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” i quickly related this to my battle with my stomach fat a.k.a potbelly.

I can authoritatively tell you this is the most stubborn fat to deal with in your body. I have lost weight in every part of my body except my tummy. Could this be that the ‘demon’ behind stomach fat is the most stubborn and difficult of all?

Hehehe, my *MFM mindset is beginning to tell me that i have to go on a 21 days fasting and prayer avoiding fats only. LOL That was just a joke.

Have a lovely weekend and see you at the gym tomorrow morning, that is if you didn’t go to a vigil or nightclub.

Cheers.

MFM (Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries is a church founded in Nigeria known for their fervent war like prayers which are seriously combative and effective in spiritual warfare. i have been there before.

After eating junks for a while, it is time for a detox smoothie.

Let us assume you had a great weekend of eating and drinking or you just arrived from a long vacation where you ate all the calories and junk foods on this earth without blinking.

You feel guilty after stumbling on a healthy living magazine on the flight which cataloged the implications of all those junks you ate.

You want to do something about it but you don’t know what to do.

I will recommend you try this detox smoothie for the next 7 days if possible;

Recipe;

½ Cup  Pineapple

½ Small  Cucumber

2 Handfuls  Kale

½ Lemon Juice

¼ Cup  Mint

Add enough quantity of water.
