Wish i could be drinking water, the way almost everybody is drinking water. I need to up my game.
@HG, am here ooo, everly reading everyone's post, it is not easy to stay without exercising, but i need the rest jare, though, i am detoxifying, am doing a 7 day serious detoxification, so even if i over-indulge , i will still be fine. Miss exercising though!!!

Ehen HG, you see what you have done to yourself . I begged you to motivate me in the push-up challenge but you refused . Now babs2011 is on "official assignment" and you are alone . At least, i would have started with 5 a day and not 50 abi na 100 you said .

@Ronky dear, abeg what kind of detox are you doing. Pls let me know more about it. I feel bloated of late and i am thinking in that direction. Thanks

I have been a silent follower and have started to derail so i need to be accountable so i am taking a break from being silent.I recently had a location change and have been very busy at work closing late sometimes this i guess helped me add some

When the wait gain arrives, thou shall surface from thy hiding place oh oluite

uche13: My own lil suggestion as regards your last log is that i personally would rather have my carb meal for lunch and protein for dinner. I believe doing so would help my body burn off the carb meal since i am definitely most active during the day and get home very late at night and the next thing is to sleep.

Welcome back Uche and nice to see you are doing well. About the fasting, its really good for you. I have been there just try to get in as much calorie enough to carry you around and prolly little little workouts.
About the carbs/protein, thanks for the observation but I react to some proteins in the night especially my beans. I try to avoid taking any at night especially as main. The only time I can enjoy is in the morning or afternoon when am on the move, by that I don't feel a thing and won't even visit the loo.

Ha uche!!! Bail me out and join me o, just click on that link I provided before. It is not 100 per day o, it is a progressive thingy till you arrive

When its all over, i shall testify to the glory of God here on this thread. I have been eating right though and have not really added.
@HG love:thanks jare for checking. You are doing so so well in both your food logs and exercise.
@babs:wow,congrats dear.
@modath:you mean you are now 77kg? You are such an inspiration. You may not know but you were my main motivation when i joined the thread. Your introductory message on the forum was so inspiring.i had to save it on my system.i read it again this afternoon and something inside of me told me, you can do it too. Back then i never knew a forum like sparkpeople existed and even then, reading about the success story of a Nigerian brought it closer home.

Let me log my food even though i have not been exercising. I try to keep a food journal so that i dont go overboard, even though i dont log here.

Log for yesterday

B-nil
L-nil
Dinner- 2 servings of yam porridge and 2 small pieces of goat meat
Water-2.5 litres
Exercise- nil

Another good day, spent my whole time at the farmer's market today (It's a contributory thingy in the office and Friday is a fair day for us). I really went for tomatoes and pepper and onions, I had a fair bargain.

I came back to the office too tired for comfort, so I could not go to the gym. Today automatically became my rest day. I found myself doing something whenever I had to hurry to do a thing, I was jogging everywhere, it was actually spontaneous for me.

I thought I will do some resistance exercise this evening but not in a good frame of mind *news that one of my uncle had stroke and they are in town, mum also fell from the treadmill today*

Food Logs

7:15am - 1 cup cereal + 1/2 cup milk + 1 cube sugar

9:30am - 1 small sized apple

10:30am - 1 cup boiled rice + 3 tbspn beans + 1 local cheese

3:00pm - 2 3" sized pineapple (modath is anything wrong with pineapple, orange and banana?)

8:00pm - A handful of peanuts (agaby love whadda gat to say?)

8:45pm - 1/2 cup noodles + 1 cup vegetables + 1 egg + 2 plantain + dried fish

Water was ok, although I dint count today (more than 8 glasses anyways)

Exercise - Nil

@uche:thanks
@HG:Thanks. I personally dont think there is anything wrong with bananas.they can be really feeling.i know they are high in calories and so should be eaten in moderation.coincidentally, i had some really nice bananas yesterday.
Pele, your uncle will be fine in Jesus' name and your mum too. Hope she didnt get injured. On another note, its good to know that she is into this fitness thingy too.it feels so good. You wont believe that my mum jumps rope and jogs too, even though not very consistently.
Have a great weekend and lets know how everything goes.

You have been doing great and just as I see do not give in to any junk. Well done on your workouts and take it easy too so that you don't override the horse and break.

To maintain weight= eat the amount you burn
To lose weight= burn more than you eat. This can mean that you eat normal and sensibly but work out harder or deprive yourself and work out averagely.

When you eat, eat healthy!

Have a nice weekend.

Where is the class monitor?

@burntcoal:am so proud of you. Your workouts are great.please keep it up even when you go for service, inshort let it become part of your life and you will be glad you did.

@HG&ML,
Thanks for the props,I really do appreciate it,it hasn't been easy but its WORTH it!!

@ML,
I have been maintaining between 77-78kg sometimes 79(80 is the dreaded no)I was even 75kg for a short period of time last year but I just couldn't stick with the effort the maintainance required,I had to work out everyday and I just couldn't do it.
