Good morning Lovelies, i hope you had a good night rest. So breakfast is ready. I decided to add Avocado to my watermelon today instead of banana or cucumber which are usually my choice combo. 

Click  HERE  to read reasons why you should eat fruits for breakfast.  

I know that many of us who are on a weight loss journey have been told to  run away from every and anything fat, so probably you have not had avocado in a long while. 

I want to disabuse your mind about avocado which is a good fat. Yes healthy monounsaturated fatty acids(MUFA). If you would like to lose weight, improve your skin and lower your risk of many life-threatening diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease, then Avocado should be on you 'do-list'.

1.  FOR HEALTHY BLOOD PRESSURE

Avocado is particularly rich in potassium, even higher than  banana that usually get our votes. Many people don’t get enough of the mineral potassium in their diet. This deficiency can lead to high blood pressure, which is in turn a significant risk factor for heart attack, stroke and kidney disease. So avocado is a good food to eat for normal blood pressure and a lower risk of kidney failure and heart disease.The oleic acid and dietary fiber in avocados help normalize blood sugar levels, lowering the risk of diabetes.

Hello beautiful people. It's my pleasure to have you here. So I have been shedding some weight for a while now and like I always say, fitness is not meant to be a punishment but a lifestyle. Instead of crash programs or extreme diets, take it bit by bit, one day at a time towards your goal. 

Stop worrying about being skinny(that's not my goal). Practice healthy eating and exercise, and the weight will take care of itself. I mean, why punish and restrict yourself for a short time only to gain back all that weight and even more because it wasn't a lifestyle and you couldn't be consistent at it. But if you can be consistent, all well and good for you.

Fitness isn't a one-size-fits-all thing and perhaps does not look the same for everyone. It is not a function of how skinny you are. Both health and fitness are worth fighting for. It is hard fight, make no mistake about it. but failing now and then is part of success, so don't be discourage. just keep at it.

I am yet to attain my target-weight, so it is still a work in progress. I will just keep at it.

OK, maybe you are itching for me to say what I did Or did not do. Well, I am currently sharing "20 Thing You Can Do To Stay Fit N Healthy This Year". So follow and keep reading and you will be inspired and motivated to a healthy living. Check under Health for some of the "Things" I have already shared.

Consistency is key!

It is quite unfortunate that a huge number of women flipping the pages of a magazine would want to look like the girl in the magazine. Well the irony is, the girl in the magazine doesn't even look like the girl in the magazine, not in real life. We are in the era of photo shopping.

So as it happens, movie star, Kerry Washington who is on the cover of ADWEEK magazine, April edition, is not happy about her 'photoshopped' image. The Scandal star is weary that she looks nothing like herself on the cover.

below is some of what she said on the matter as posted on her instagram...

"..... I was taken aback by the cover......i'm no stranger to photoshopping. it happens a lot. in a way we have become a society of picture adjusters......i have had the opportunity to address the impact of my altered image in the past...
....yesterday, however i just felt weary. it felt strange to look at a picture of myself that is so different from what i look like when i look in the mirror. it's an unfortunate feeling....
....that being said, i'm very proud of the article.... i like some of the inside images a great deal..."

sorry gurl. not a good feeling.  i really like d monochrome theme though.

Readers, what do you think? does it look like her? 

Last friday April 2nd, Members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly fought during their plenary session over the appointment of local council administrators in the state.
The state governor, Tanko Al-Makura had dissolved the boards of the various council administrators after their two-year tenure ended on March 24th.
The governor immediately appointed sole administrators to man the affairs of the Local government areas, a decision that was not welcomed by the state house legislators who according to them, had resolved to immediately conduct elections so that new Local government chairmen can be sworn in.

TIME magazine has released its list of 30 most influential people on the internet. TIME sized up contenders by looking at their global impact on social media and their overall ability to drive news.

 25-year-old Nigerian-born American blogger, Angie Nwandu, came 20th on the list(although list is unranked), even ahead of celebs like Kim Kardashian, Drake and  Tess Holiday.

 Two years ago, Nwandu started  a celebrity gossip site called  “The Shade Room’’, an Instagram account and blog that aims to be like Page Six for celebrities on social media: a chronicle of who likes whose posts, who comments on whose photos, and who starts following (or better yet, unfollowing) each other.

According to Time magazine,“As more and more of our own daily interactions happen online, so, too, does celebrity drama. And Nwandu, 25, has made it her business to capture it. Nwandu, within two years, transformed "The Shade Room" to a flourishing media empire with  four full-time employees, and advertisers—all of whom serve an audience of 3.9 million. And counting,’’ it said.

congratulations, Angie. 

 Among others who made the list  are, Cristiano Ronaldo, Donald Trump(Us presidential aspirant), Kanye West and J.K Rowling(of Harry Porter).
