TRAVEL LAXITIES

I will tell you no lies, there is something that happens when one is out of town, in a hotel room somewhere, no matter the reaons why (work, pleasure or both!)... It's a heightened level of indiscipline. Suddenly, the lure of JD and coke is really bad. You want to watch TV till 2! You order room service for a full course of dinner 3 times! Basically we get into loads of excesses!

MY POINT BEING...?
I am here. In my hotel room. Trust me, they don't have my prescribed diet for today...Soft moi-moi. The girl at the other end of the phone nearly laughed me to scorn when I asked for agidi to go with their vegetable soup. She said she had only pounded yam and 'semo'. I had to have the vegetable soup with some fish... and didn't even open the plate with the 'swallow'. So why do I still feel like I cheated today!!?? I know,
  1. I had my meal too late (Had to get to PH and to the hotel room first, innit?)
  2. Not sure I was allowed fish in the vegetable. That's the problem with substitutions!
  3. There was quite a bit of oil in the soup
  4. Finally, it tasted delicious! I don't think I am allowed to have a slice of heaven until my 3 months is through! LOL
PENANCE
Tomorrow is grape fast. Every Friday is grape fast actually. What that means is that I am only allowed glasses upon glasses of grapefruit juice. Nothing else. All day!!! I came prepared though, had my fresh grape juice squeezed form Lagos and lined up in my hotel fridge. Imagine if I had to substitute that? So I guess that'll help me get over the guilt of having enjoyed the vegetable soup too much!

EXERCISE
I am not getting enough exercise! My body aches for the treadmill, but I can't find the time! This is so unfair! I guess I will have to take to jogging on the spot in my hotel room... didn't bring my trainers!! Oh well, we'll just go on 10 toes, innit?

I need more than your prayers tomorrow! Stay with me with your fantastic messages of encouragement!

Veg soup and fish should be fine, even with the bit of oil...lol. Heightened levels of indiscipline, I feel you on that one. Just like giving up smoking, its jeje jeje...

I agree with lomalina on the flight of stairs exercise....Have a great day.
