taitee: kai i envy simababe's logs oh....ve not bi exercising nd my food is jus dere....not so regular so ve not bin posting buh ill restat soon...

p.s i tink dere should be an award fo d most dedicated member of dis thread for keeping it going...ny nominees...people show urself

Taitee, I trust you can do it.

Everyone is a nominee, we've done really great to keep ourselves warm for the better part of the days in this year.

Started off today like i promised myself.

30mins workout comprising of abdominal Crunch, planks, lunges, squats and some yoga thingies .

Breakfast: tea n 3slices of bread.
Lunch: Pineapple
Supper: rice n stew.



20mins run

@Simababe...Plank's the upper part of a traditional push up.
Lie flat on your belly,
place ur palm next to ur shoulders and raise your body.
Remember to tighten ur stomach muscle while at it n hold the pose for atleast 30secs.

OR
follow the first 2 steps as above buh this time instead of using ur palms as support use ur arm(ie elbow to ur fisted palm shld be on the floor).
The rest of the steps remain the same.

To kick it up a notch...
Instead of leavin ur toes on the floor, use a wall as an anchor, ie place ur feet against the wall. Basically your arms should be the only part of ur body on the ground.
Goodluck with that .

@Agaba,
Good morning.

#RANT101..... ..why do I have to sacrifice style for health in this Naija of ours(I refuse to call my beloved motherland the name that actually came to my mind first) ...
Is it imposible to have both a chic hair do and a fit body @ the same time, I need to doll myself up by fixing up my hair but its a challenge @ the moment cos I refuse to go through the stress of getting it done and removing it 5days after cos of waterlogged tracks from sweat (anything after that is stench).I paid Good money for these stuff and I need to use them,
ALL I need is this head band that tennis players(serena williams is in love with it)use to wick away sweat but can you guys believe I have been transversing the lenght and breadth of this ***** abuja for the last few weeks(even the so called sports shop)trying to purchase just one(2-3 would have been ideal)with no sucess.
The only shop that I saw(in wuse market of all places)had only one that is so poorly made that it can't stand the kind of sweat I produce without being soaked in 5mins....
Anyone sabi where I can get
Heeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllppp...I can't sacrifice health for style but what's the point of all these if I can't show off occassionally.

HG&Agaba,
I know I am taking care of my body for when I get older;that is still far far far away(still in my early 30's) and am stil VAIN so I don't want to be told to rock dreads or be black and proud.
I have never heard of short nappy flowing hair!!!

Rant over.

hahahahahahhaha, ranting continues even with me.

But this week my dear, I am as local as Mairo the housegirl, I have cornrows on me now and I don't care. When its old I always have a handy wig with me. Not only the workout but the heat is also a problem to me (I am a field worker). I have that headband o, someone gave it to me but I think it gives me more heat than the one workouts give lol.
My conclusion Mody, wigs, wigs, wigs. Another good one, when there is power I use my hand dryer (just fan no heat) to blowdry my head o. So health first, you will be thanked for it.

...

Mody when your is hair local like mine draw emphasis on other issues like your make up, bling bling and clothes and other accessories.

modath: @Agaba,
Good morning.

Awwwww... Well I've been goin au naturelle ooo since I started hitting the gym. Invest in a good hand dryer and hairstraightner, u can do braids and ghana weaves too.... I won't make my hair until december. My 2 cents

HG,
Serena williams as we all know go hard when she has her game face on(tennis is one of my obsessions)&
Without fail she sports a head band which always keeps her hair in place when she's playing,it also keeps sweat from running into her eyes,I am sure yours isn't the same,look @ common household towels some dry faster than others.
Babe,I sought advise from our afro american sistas and that is what they all use(most don't even bother cos of their hair),you know these people are more self absorbed than we could ever dream of.
All these black celebs,how do you think they manage??
