My obligations for the contest have started running on auto; my schedule is gradually becoming routine. I am up at about 5am, and start running somewhere around 6am. After the run, I do my cross-fit routine and set of sit-ups. All these usually go smoothly, except for those mornings when my body just refuses to get out of bed. 
At those times, it is sheer will and determination that gets me through.
Breakfast is now either toast bread and tea, or some fresh orange juice, several cups of it. I get creative with lunch, making sure it is simple and contains some vegetables. Dinner has been purely fruits or slices of it. Just had a bowl of pineapples, and it was delicious.
I am still carefully monitoring my time spent on social networks, I have been able to reduce this to an hour and a half a day.
I have been keeping it real with my Nigerian culture, as part of my lifestyle changes, I have switched my general attire from casual wears to corporate or traditional. Today, I wore another traditional design:
This particular type of dressing can be found in the eastern part of Nigeria, mostly inhabited by the Igbo tribe. These folks are very colorful, as you may have guessed from the pics, and they are not afraid to mix colors. The basic attire is a top, short or long-sleeved, a pair of trousers or a wrap that could be confused for a skirt, and a cap.
Nigeria is full of several tribes with very interesting ethnic beliefs and culture.
I have started noticing some problems during posting these marathon blogs, sometimes it registers as a missed day even after posting. I am still trying to understand why this is happening, maybe it is a bug or something is required in every post. The only thing I can see that is important in all posts is the hash tag : #dukascopyMarathon
