What goes into my mouth

I posted eariler  today  that I am doing a lifestyle change by eating healthy especially, Cause I LOVE FOOD!!!!! There I said it. So I want to become my own dietitian and nutritionist (except if anyone is willing to do it free of charge for me) heeeeee I be igbo girl so. First I started with a food diary. I downloaded an app on my phone that measures my caloric intake daily and how much ive burnt in an exercise workout. I will be posting what I consume daily on my blog to also help me keep track of what enters my bucal cavity aka mouth.

Lifestyle upgrade lol..

Now that I have finally accepted that I have type 2 diabetes I decided to do a makeover of my poor lifestyle. So I decided to change what I eat. No eba, fufu,iyan(pounded yam) or any high starchy foods. Oh I forgot rice. Well I dont know if I can do away with rice sha. But I will try. I have incorporated new things to my diet. Like replacing rice with pasta, and twix (yeh that too) with carrots and ranch dressing. Have no gym membership yet so I jog twice a week for a start and I take the stairs at work instead of the elevator.
The difficult thing for me is taking meds. Arghhh I hate meds. All meds. But I need my metformin though to reduce it.
When I first knew I had diabetes, I was sad and sightly depressed.  I think I lost 15 pounds. But now that ive accepted it, I think about the people in my life, and how they would be greatly affected if anything happens to me. So I am making this change not just for me  but for my unborn kids, my husband to be , my parents and my siblings. 

Living with type2

I have always been the healthy one in my family.  I try exercising and all that stuffs. Couple of years ago, I lost my mom to complications of type 2 diabetes.  Just early this year I got diagnosed with type2 at 26. Depressing huh? Yup. First I thought I was  going to die ,but then I decided to change my diet by eating healthy.
At my job I try to educate diabetic patients on how to regulate their sugar intake. But I dont even regulate mines. Like today, I didnt even check my blood sugar. 
Diabetes causes several complications to the body.  It damages ones system gradually. People also get amputated by loosing either upper or lower extremities.
Living with diabetes can be controlled in so many ways. The highly recommend way is diet and exercise. 
Reduce sugar intake
Check the amount of sugar ur food contains
And finally take ur meds regularly. 
I do hope that someday a proper cure for diabetes will be found.

My response to Nigerian Actor Jim Iyke's Ex Girlfriend

While I was browsing on my Facebook page, I saw an article on www.news.naij.com about Jim Iyke's ex girlfriend/ Fiancee Keturah Hamilton. Honestly I have never heard of her before, but I think I heard once that Jim Iyke was dating some chick like that. To cut long story short, I saw on one of Nigeria's popular blogger, Linda Ikeji that he was dating Nadia Buari a Ghanaian actress, then for me to see  the article on Naij
that she was lamenting on her wasting 6 years with Jim.

Jim Iyke's sad and heartbroken Jamaican ex-fiancee Keturah Hamilton tells Diasporan Star:

"These days, I ask God: Why has thou forsaken me? How can a man with whom we had gone through the highs and the lows – a man who had professed so much undying love for me over the past six years just walk away like that? I don’t know what happened and I wish I could put a finger on it. He took away six years of memories, of support of love and all that I did for him – just like that. How mean and callous can one get?

Jim was supposed to come to New York and stay for six months, during which time, he would go to an acting school here in New York and then we would move to Los Angeles and get married and pursue our acting dreams. I was looking forward to that with eagerness and then he just walked away” she began to sob according to Diasporan Star

HMMMMMMM............... Madam Keturah, I know you are pissed off and sad about your broken engagement and relationship with the the actor, but come on now, you don't have to to lament about it in public na.. It hurts I know, and I am glad that you have moved on, just take it that you two weren't meant to be together, and trust you will meet someone who is deserving and loving and you will be a much more happier woman. Dont take this experience as a bad one, look at it as lesson and you will be wiser when next you decide to date again, and I wish you the best hope Mr. Right finds you.

Overview

I love blogging, but most times I try to post what makes sense.  I have seen several blogs and I love the posts and all,  but I want to be  different and unique.  In the blogging world,  I have seen people talk about personal stuffs or just stuffs in general.  Well I prefer both.  Thus, I am going to try a new approach. I also love giving advice to people.  so that's the overview to the new blogs for me. (Hope it makes sense)
