Margaret Tumusiime: I listen to my instructor

Early this year, I started going to the gym but my lazy expectations were quickly quashed and I found out it would not be as easy as I had thought.
The very first day I attended, my instructor put me on a diet schedule where I was limited on the kind of food I could eat.

I was advised to avoid junk food because of the number of calories it contains and fizzy drinks such as soda.

I also had to avoid oily foods and since my intension was to loose weight, I resorted to eating only boiled food. To make sure that I get exactly what I want, I try as much as possible to cook my own food at home and also make my own juice.

What I eat
I also take a lot of fluids especially warm water and freshly squeezed juice which helps to keep me hydrated and my skin radiant and smooth, the reason I do not have to buy a lot of cosmetics to look beautiful.

For breakfast, I take a fruit and a glass of juice and sometimes milk. My lunch which is my main meal comprises plenty of vegetables, minimal carbohydrate and protein. I rarely eat supper and instead eat fruits. This is because my instructor tells me that food that is eaten after 8pm is never digested the reason most people gain weight.

Sleep
I sleep for at least eight hours every night. I also walk to and from work every day to strengthen my muscles and also as a way of exercising. Above all, I stick to my instructor’s orders in order to not go astray.
