Monday again?

Last week was pretty good for me.

I worked out five times. My goal was six because I thought I had a session on Saturday, turned out I didn't.
I didn't do a good job of eating well though. I hope to rectify that this week, well, starting tonight cos I did soak some garri with sugar at 1am when I couldn't sleep. It kept calling me, calling me, calling me.

I was good about making my bed during the week, but on the weekends not so much.

I didn't empty my sink daily..oops. And I doubt I will be good about this week cos my sink is presently full of pots. I cooked last night: I made a salad for my dinners - red cabbage, lettuce, carrots and sweet bell peppers which I plan to dress up with chicken, tuna or eggs and have for dinner. I had planned to grill some chicken on the grill outside during the weekend but I got caught up and Sunday was so cold that I didn't even bother. I probably won't get home until after dark so I guess I will be using the George Foreman grill instead.

Weekend Projects
I hung up all my curtains. The room looks different, not sure yet if it is blocking out the draft or not. Yesterday was a pretty cold night, I was very tempted to turn on the heat but I thought of that $100+ bill plus the fact that I bought that mirrored chest when I really wasn't supposed to and I didn't. I just pulled on my fleece and hid under my comforter. Hehe.

I did my little art project. It came out really odd. I don't know if it is fixable.

I finally got 2/3 of my canvases stretched. The third one developed some major issues. I did take it with me and it sat in my car for an hour and half so maybe the cold shrunk it cos when I got home all the wood I had measured so well at Home Depot turned out to be way too big! I was perplexed. I might throw that thing in frame if it doesn't behave. For real selector. But the others turned out ok.

I did cook for the week. The aforementioned salad. A chicken stir fry with red cabbage (i had two heads of it! and am trying to stop wasting food. I already spent my food budget on that chest...hehe), bell peppers, tomatoes and frozen vegetables. I plan to eat that with some kind of beans, trying to cut back on my rice intake. I also made a recipe from Eating Well using the cauliflower that I bought last weekend. It was alright, the rice was a bit too soggy (but I didn't fry it as I was told too) and it could stand to be a bit more spicy. However, I didn't have half the ingredients and just used curry instead. I love curry. Makes everything taste 1000 times better.


And I went to church and it was awesome. One thing I have noticed about my walk with God is that no matter what church I go to, I always hear a word that is relevant to my life or situation. The church I decided to go to is doing a series on debt. I took avid notes. Nothing earthshattering really but it was still very useful and I am glad I went. They are starting a women's study group on Sunday afternoons, I signed up for that cos I need to start meeting people.

When I get home I hope to post my pictures. Am at work and my lunch break is almost over. Why do good things end so quickly?

And the photos!

 My crazy looking art project. Retry! The curtains. Ignore the unevenness. I have a problem with straight lines. Before After. Need more stuffing! Problem Child! Don't know why the wood wouldn't fit. Will have to try again.  So going over my bed. So excited about it! No clue where to put this. Too small for over the tv.

Ojo Monday

As I opened  blogger to write a post, the song ojo Monday jumped to my head. I mourned my unbacked up and crashed ibook immediately. I have so much music that I've lost. I haven't heard that song since 200something. I didn't even remember who did it which is a damn shame cos am a Fela stan. Anyway, rushed to Youtube to find it. They didn't have it, but there is a band called Ogun Afrobeat that did a pretty decent cover considering they don't even speak the language. Turned out it's called by its English name: Monday morning in Lagos: Anyway, all that to say it's Ojo Wednesday and I hope I survive. I worked out yesterday with my trainer. My arms are looking nice per him and me. Am still a bit weak though as in, I don't have much stamina for certain exercises. Anyway, time is already fast spent. I have to go for my jog and yet again I didn't edit my playlist. Why do i procrastinate so! PS. Turns out that I do have that song, must have bac...
