Report from the conference: There was no conference, Attendance :1

It could be that
1. I fixed the time that was unsuitable to everyone
2. members are no longer interested
3. the time selection was undemocratic.

Can we please let us know what we did wrong and what we should do differently to make sure everyone is available at the conference?

Any new member who is interested i welcome. Thank you!

[quote author=Hour_Glass link=topic=282744.msg8539333#msg8539333 date=1308340128]OMG, see how peeps dey wait aproko

and the good news isssssssssssssss!!!!

I am 78 -79kg(in between) to be precise. are you happy for me? In my 70s after two solid years!!! i know ave been a lil inconsistent especially about my meals but i felt i should be progressing and not otherwise, since i never stopped exercising. And trust me, i feel toned now too, I should take my body statistics end of this month to see how far.[/quote]I was expecting this and I am happy.
About the hunger pangs, just look at it as an exercise
About the weight, na for gym oo. Some good motivation. I left Abuja the weekend you traveled for wedding.

Today

12 footie pitch run
100 plank rows with 15 kg weights
plank
40 air boxing
other weight exercise up 40 kg
Feeling good
Did DPH for the fun of it in a hospital lab and all my fat indicators are within limit

I was on phone with someone who was close to the scene when the blast occurred and she said 'bomb last!, let me run into court of appeal . . .'

It is not good.

Hello friends

Chicken strips and 1 slice of cheese toasted in a sandwich
1/2 pkt quavers (crisps)
handful grapes
1.5 serving spoon of rice and stew, 1 beef, 1 chicken drumstick

1 cup coffee
2.5 ltrs water

How are y'all doing?

@ Modath, HG, missing you gals. Where u dey?? abeg show face now

@Tolu, keep it up good work there so far. When u say 'moderate rice', pls cld you quantify,  like is it 1 or 2 heaped serving spoon of rice etc?,  i just want to have an indication of portion size in relation to the calorie count. thanks

@Agaba, sup mate? not much outdoor action here due to the heavy rains lashing the country for the past few days or so. So for now the evening power walks with my neighbour have somewhat dwindled much to her (and esp her hubbys) disappointment. However i've realised i'm really a morning exerciser and usually by the end of the day i'm worn out, not at my peak and excuses flow easily. Also do not feel inclined to push myself as hard in the evening. She happens to not be a morning person  , anyway i will still try for her small.

Well I understand what you mean about the rains in the summer. UK weather sucks
Modify to suit you and that's it. Too bad for your neighbour but every good thing comes with sacrifice and she should know it.

Over all good job!

This thread is meant to be educative and not abusive

If you have nothing to contibute, spare us your bigotry.

Nothing bad in loving your tribe but there is everything bad in being a tribal fanatics.

Tolulop001:
what is your own, things happen

show off! i will run away from this thread ho, berra beg me

anyway i just had lunch and Im suspecting the lunch ehn, this counting calories na long thing

How do u count rice and beans, with small plantain on the side + fish??

I dont feel stuffed or anything though

lol lol
No be show off. We are encouraging ourselves. You no nsee people wee dey do 30 days shred? They encourage me walahi. Seriously you do not have to look at it with fear.

As per the calorie of rice and beans
cooked beans has 150Kcal/50g, rice like 270 Kcal/75 g.
Counting may be frustrating but make sure you burn more than you eat. That's it.

About your coke tummy, running does not do much on your tummy.
You need some strength exercises targeted at the muscles and with healthy eating, you shall get there

Well done guys.

A few disruptions as usual in nairaland but hey, that makes NL exciting. I would have preferred a a situation where reasonable firsts are posted

GenB, dont wish me bad o, my mairuwa travelled without informing me and i was stranded so i just used that as an opportunity to work with it. I will be going back tomorrow kindly wish me well. I motivated two of my friends to start working out yesterday and one started this morning with sit ups and 30 brisk walk, how about that? I think there is something fattening in this FCT, modath dont mind me o. I love the place sha and trust me i did self discipline these two days.

I beg to be absent on Sunday, but that shouldnt hinder the meeting. We are performing the last cultural rites for my father and I doubt if i'll be free then.
Anytime the next meeting would be held after next week, I hope to be available.

Thanks for informing us. We pray that everything goes on fine and we will let you know about our deliberations.

adefemi1:
i ve been lukin for this golden opportunity for quite some time i will be helpfull in all maters that concern our great country please count me in.

You are welcome. if you are online, join our conference now.

So wetin de happen?

If you think that INEC will make a statement that will indict it, then think twice.

If I were you, I would ask, 'how did INEC arrive at that percentage?'

oooo na Naija style

stagger:
I just love when I step into Zenith bank in Maitama. Beauty everywhere. That is the only bank where I can wait for an hour and I won't mind.

Poster, just enjoy the moment. Show of flesh has come to stay. You cannot stop it. If you notice, the effect is now like cocaine. The more of it you have, the more you get used to it and then the boundaries will have to be pushed more and more.

Just give it five years. You will see some crazy dressing to come. So just endure the sight. Afterall, you should not spend more than twenty minutes in the bank, and you don't go there everyday. Do you?

That Maitama Zenith Bank na waya ooo. It is always boiling lol

Tolulop001:
i know for a fact that Zenith handpick the girls ( fine yallow gals) for their bigger branches, VI and co.

Short skirts toh bahdn! It can be extreme though

You should be working in one of those banks cos you fit their criteria

@ OP,

Do you have any pictures tom illustrate what you are saying? I have not seen anything like that.

ayinba1:
Thursday was my Preschoolers graduation. Prep and all, could not make it.

How about we stick to naija time, easier to convert for me. But Sunday's fine/

I hope she/he had good fun. Good Sunday then at 6

Greetings all.

Travelers like me, I no mean gypsies safe journey.

babs2011:
@Agaba: Well done indeed, ku se o! .
Interesting point about running out there, never thought about the diff in air. i always though it would be harder depending on the time of the day i guess, also seems u are closer north so not so oppressive heat?

Trust me there is much difference. The sun won't be an issue even though I am northward because I run early.

Also I did not notice any difference between South and North. The sweating na the same oo.

By the way I will pocket the 'well done' and eat the 'ku se' lol

lucabrasi:
i checked yesterday as well at the 6pm but no one there,maybe it ll have to be the weekend now

I think I said tomorrow as in today because I requested the time 6 pm for Thursday.

But we can leave it for weekend. Sunday will be Okay for me.
[size=18pt]
7pm GMT, 6pm Naija/UK time Sunday.[/size] Is that ok with everyone? I will be on the road on Saturday God willing
