my waist bead
so i finally got a waist bead yesterday. i had always had one before i left Nigeria, but my made me remove it before i left. actually i lived among yorubas who always made their little girls wear ileke idi( waist beads) and i had always liked to have one round my waist. i have no single idea what it is used for, some say its for making your butts grow bigger, well i wasn't really thinking of doing that, just thought it would be fun to ave an accessory round my waist since i am the queen of accessories.lol.
so how did i get and lose my waist bead. i had a friend who studied in kaduna and always came around on holidays, so during her sisters wedding( few months before i left Nigeria, was still very young then) while we were dressing up and stuffs, i saw she had like a lot round her waist, so i asked her if she could hook me up wit some. So like a week after, she gave me like 4 and i happily put it round my waist, she got green and red colors for me.. ohh boy was i happy. i never allowed my parents to see it. i remember guys used to make fun of me that i already had big butts and i was making it worse by wearing a waist bead.
a week before i left nigeria i was siting with my mum gisting and watchn a movie, as the movie ended i got up to remove the disk and bent down, alas she saw my waist bead and screamed
mum: caramel, kiloshi to wa ni idi e yen( whats that rubbish round your waist)
caramel: ohh maryam gave me as a gift
mum: b4 i close my eyes, remove that nonsense from your waist... are you a prostitute.
mehn it wasnt funny, seh even asked me to get scissors and she removed it herself and threw it away. it was so sad. anyways i left naija and sometimes the memory of it would come back.
so last week i was chatting with one of my male online buddies, he asked me if i had extra piercings and i was like nope!! then he went ahead and asked if i had a waist bead or if i ever had one, that he noticed my big butts and he really finds it sexy round a girl.. i told him the story and i remembered i had actually seen something in the store that looked like it. so yesterday i got three and they all went round, I'm so happy with it again. woahh.. at least mumsi isnt here to call me a prostitute or even if she sees it, i doubt she would say anything. I'm getting 4 more by weekend.. cant wait to rock them by summer..lol
weight loss
so i finally notice changes around my thighs, pants i wear now seem loose and even my cheeks have started reducing. I went to the gym yesterday and worked out for close to 2 hrs. My fitness instructor is so cute..lol.. mehn those his abs are killer abs. i havent recorded what i ate in my food diary to calculate the amount of calories i had and burned. but heres a breakdown of what i ate yesterday- break-fast: oatmeal, low fat milk and sweetners. 1 half apple.
- snack: i ate the other half apple
- lunch: boiled chicken and stir fried mixed veggies
- snack:1 mango shake
