Me on my way back from the market

Diary Session

Hi diary, I woke up early today so I can do my regular weekly exercise. The beans I bought last night had to be washed since I intended using it to make fried bean balls known as 'akara' here for breakfast and 'moi-moi' made from steaming the ground beans.

By the time I finished washing the beans and going to the local market to grind it, it was already past 8a.m which means my exercise was automatically cancelled. Life of a woman!

Breakfast: Akara and Pap

I suddenly remembered that today is the last Saturday of the month and I needed to stock up on my foodstuffs to make my incoming week and month a smooth ride. Funny enough, I did not have the money handy but thank God for family members that help in time of need.

On my way to the market, I checked my timepiece and it was some minutes past 12pm, I decided to just take a picture of the sun as I could not join the LID challenge.

The sun by 12noon

At the market, the cost of foodstuffs had skyrocketed so much so that I had to cut down the quantity of things to buy to avoid being stranded.

By the time, I got home by past 3pm, I tried eating a little lunch and immediately set to work arranging the stuffs I bought and thereafter began making dinner. The moi-moi came out very nice since my hubby and brother complimented me. I did not eat because I am still watching my weight.

Dinner: Moi-Moi

I was this night going through my Facebook, when I came across a women's health blog. The publication was on 'how to lose weight walking 30minutes everyday.' Firstly, there are numerous benefits to be obtained by walking. They include
a. Increases brain power
