I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!!

My innermost desire to lose weight got me going to the gym last week monday. I got there and saw fellow fat-assed wives like me working out, puffing and panting seriously (I feel your pain gals). After I paid, I got to the changing room and realised I forgot my reebok trainers at home. Was I suprised? No of course not, that's the story of my life. I never seem to get anything right.

This, I must look into in the coming new year. I must be focused on the right things at the right time. Mistakes like this have to end. Well I explained my situation to the gym instructor and told him I'll be back. I got home, picked up the shoes but decided to browse since there was light(nepa light). The instructor called me,"Madam,are u still coming?'' Yes, I replied. I'll be with you in 30mins. On my way to the gym, there was so much traffic I spent an hour trying to get to the express way. "Madam,this go slow go dey here till 1'o clock-o", the driver said. Well, make we go house now? I replied. And that was it. Only self determination can get me to the gym admidst any type of stumbling block e.g lagos traffic. I'm Mrs Somebody and I'm trying to lose weight. It's been extremely difficult for me lately but I'm so determined to lose weight and look my age.

I recently conducted a survey when I asked some neighbours to guess my age. 39, 38, 34 ,39, 37, 40. Hmmmm........that's it!!! Enough of the guessing. Just because I live in a neighbourhood filled with old and aged people should not make me look that old. Or do I really look older than my age? By the way, my neighbours who took the survey are between 48 and 75 years. So I decided to ask elsewhere........38, 36, 39, 37..... PEOPLE! PEOPLE!! PLS STOP! I'm 30! 30! I was born in 1976!. "I'll make you look like a model", the gym guy said, but you'll have to be determined to lose the weight. 113kg, (this model-to-be is currently, the weight of two models). But I'm determined to do it. And I'll make it.

In my head and around me said...

Easy, easy. Like Bibi said, its determination.

I remember going to Proflex to exercise (I decided that I needed to be fit) and after 30 minutes of punishment, I would walk down to Cactus and have some doughnuts and ice-cream. LOL!! Don't be like me o!

Good Luck.

Welcome to blogville, mrs somebody!! I came over from Baba Alaye's Page. Very Interesting and funny post!! I feel ur pain!! Thats just lagos traffic for you!! But come oh - how could you have forgotten ur trainers when u were heading to the gym? Was it only the designer track suits you remembered to put in ur gym bag? Imagine going to the farm without a hoe!!

I have been trying to lose weight myself and its an uphill task. Just be determined and focused!! Easier said than done from someone who plans to go jogging each morning but lately hasnt done anything about it!

@ In my head and around me: LOL at buying donuts & Ice Cream for urself as a reward for going to the gym! Makes me remember when I used to go to the gym after work - at about 7pm. would stay there till about 8.30pm - 9pm and then would come home and eat a hefty meal of either irce or cornmeal thus negating all my exercise efforts earlier on. Small portions didnt just exist in my food dictionary then. *SIGH*

@ ubong da- respect the house. You notice she's a Mrs? Don't get carried away.

@ Mrs. Somebody, thank you for stopping by the blog but you went to stampedecora.blogspot.com which I help run. My personal site is http://laspapi.blogspot.com

I like the story of your determination (and the lack of it, sometimes too) and your reaction to the guessers who keep calling you the wrong age made me laugh.

I know people who've beaten the weight thing and I'm sure you can as well. In Lagos, our busy schedules militate against exercise.

I'll be back.

ps. The dustbin sign under comments allows you to junk unwanted remarks.

@CORA mind your damn business this ain't your blog space.

temmy tayo said...

Welcome to blogville and thanks for stopping by my page.

But when r u updating madam?

chioma said...

My dear rome was not built in one day. take your time and be consistent. I hear there is this carol lady in lagos who fixes diets up, my friend lost a lot using her but the watchword is consistency.
Try and fix a time table and stick to it be every day maybe mon,wed and friday and follow it religiously till it becomes second nature. If you miss one day at the gym make sure you go the next day no matter what or else you will end up fashing a whole year!It happened to me I was going to the gym everyday before dropping my son in school but when i lost my dad in may i stopped for like a week and I haven't been back since. I still have my huge tummy and i just work on it at home. All the best

Mrs Somebody said...

Cora.....didn't know the dustbin was for that but thanks for pointing it out to me.
Ubong da....stop teasing me.
Temmy tayo......thanks for coming over too,I'll update NOW!
Chioma......I know about carol,her price is out of this world but she still has a good clientele in spite of that.I still have a big tummy too but I've noted your advice.Ime la.
