Just that I am spending just 6/7 days , I need to make time for that as well grrrr.

Efe will also be trying those dance workout routines. I love dancing too.

Will be back to JM today/or tomorrow morning pain almost completely gone.

One elder Aunty in church yesterday called me aside and asked if I was ok I said why ma?she said my face was looking longer and my neck bones were potruding . I said yes ma I am trying to lose weight ma ,she said haa stop its enough I am not used to seeing you like this I said don't worry ma you will get used to it. she looked really worried and I was just laughing.

Chillis:
how's the going?

To all, I hope this lifestyle change is permanent and not once you attain your target you give up.
The harder work comes with staying at your target.

So try and make this lifestyle change as fun as you could get.
you will also need the inner drive to succeed.

Very well said

Kimoni:


I can just picture my husband saying the same thing.

Damiso, but all these things you want to buy, diarris God oo

g


but I need them na .. That's one less excuse cos if I wash my only sport bra I won't have an excuse not to exercise . Same with gym clothes if I don't have the appropriate gear I won't be motivated

But he has a point though we keep getting deliveries everyday I ordered another set of 2.5 kg dumbells, arm band for my phone (tracker apps) so i don't have to have a bag while out running and a few other bits

Next is my garmin vivo smart activity tracker all those apps on BOTH my phones can give conflicting stats ehn. I curently use three and they always always give me different stats on distance,calorie burn and steps taken though I always mentally deduct about 300 calories from the stats so I don't go and over indulge on the food end .

EfemenaXY:
Damiso, I like your determination. It's motivating.

Determination kwa I succumbed yesterday to that jollof rice .

Only saving grace is I made sure I had just one serving spoon and loaded up on veggies in the side. Portion control is my nemesis but I think I have it on lockdown now .

cococandy:
The quinoa looks good.

Thank you dear .

cococandy:
1)Efo riro
2)Okro
3)Teriyaki Beef kebab
4)served with fettuccini alfredo and fried plantain.

Why naa?

The beef kebab & fettuccini Alfredo looks yum.

Made jollof rice for everyone so before I tuck in and chop two full plates I sharply made my own jollof quinoa

Really fallen off the wagon so much this week from chocolate cake to pizza to ice cream was not to much sha let me console myself

Quinoa mixed into Stir fried diced peppers and chicken breasts

Taken naijababe advice and did not continue JM but had to absolutely go for a jog/run this morning ( I had two slices of dominos pizza yesterday ), did 8.27 km and will do some other light exercises before going to bed

Got delivery of some new workout gear today .. My husband was shaking his head he said so 'working out is another excuse for shopping ' > I don't know whats his own needed extra sport bras(as I had just one), running socks,new workout clothes as well.

I have two running/gym shoes but my friend said I need to go get my feet tested to get the proper one for my feet.

naijababe:
We have to keep him indoors, my daughter has not had it. We were meant to ship out this morning, I saw the pox last night and knew I had to take him to the gp to confirm. So no holidays until it clears, I hope my daughter doesn't get after him aha.

awwww hope you are able to reschedule the holidays.

amen to that..you don't want to spend all summer indoors

naijababe:
Don't do it damiso, wait for all the pain to go. Better yet, get an all clear from your GP first.

I dey vex, meant to start holidays today only for my son to get chicken pox.....

awwwww... poor baby. Kisses to him. Has your daughter had it? I hear its better all the kids have it at once

Chicken pox dey fear me seriously cos according to my mum have I never had it.

Na wa. I think it should be made gender neutral sha

Those men with cheating wives too can gain from this prayer

Just looked on the thread,tomorrow will be day 15.will see if I can push it if not will do modified versions

zemaye:
Damiso kpele take care of you and chill small make you heal well
At all keep going you are making me jealous, but Amma join you all soonest.

thank you

hello everyone ..rested my foot on wed and thur but still managed to get in some exercise/

Did longer stretches and also modified some of the strength training lying down.

It was swollen and very painful on Wednesday esp but today I can only feel pain when I apply considerable pressure on it.

Will attempt to continue JM tomorrow( now I have lost count of what I am on sef)

Tearoses ...noted( the thread for the lil boy) and will follow that thread for updates

every child deserves some sort of semblance of a happy childhood.

ikunle ooo uhhm after all the stress from baby to this stage,11+ exams, activities gbogbo e and thinking we are almost done to now lose it all at 17. and this intercontinental school trips are not cheap at all.

God grant the family to bear this loss.

May his Soul rest in peace

naijababe:
I must be the only person who thinks coconut water is a rip-off. I always buy coconut and drain the water when I feel like it

why are saying the obvious naa?You should know me and my laziness.


That's a good idea though .. Speaking of which will make coconut and boiled corn like I used to eat in Naija .. Yummy

Chillis:
Lunch for the week.
I have started doing my own healthy lunch too

This rice will last for 3 days.
I only need to add some avocado and moi-moi.

I should have even shared it into 3 places.
anyway make é be like that. Who knows, maybe I will finish it in one go

3 days ke but the rice is not that much naa as there is veg there

Ewuro4:
But that water Looks refreshing tho. I like it.

Una wellu done and happy shedding (abi how do they greet people?) , my own be say just take it easy dear, life's too short abeg. You're scaring me Dami, this one you & Naijababe rawole is getting too much for my body

How can you say no? It's hard saying no to a saved aero chocolate square here too. You do well.

happy shedding ..

It would have been real 'aseju' to say no.

Don't be scared joor, we will still eat oily ayamase /ofada stew with you just not everyday

its just that Orobo no dey reign again if I don't watch myself , I will just turn to iya apati

Thank you @naijababe, ppmoma and chillis will def do.

Also see what hubby got me .. He knows I use coconut water for my smoothies and so he got me this one with bits..

Also my lunch prep for tomorrow .. Lost my appetite today after i ate a slice of chocolate cake at my daughters school. how canny say no to what my daughter 'lovingly' reserved and kept for me. funny enough not really a chocolate or cake person so it was like I wasted my calorie intake

I had an injury today o (on top all jullians shouting) and it was not from the work out.

I forgot i placed my weights behind me after the first set of strength workouts and as I was doing the second set of jumping jacks I stepped on one and twisted my ankle you should have heard my yelp of pain.. I have placed ice packs on it and seriously hoping and praying that it does not get worse tomorrow .

So that was the end of my day 14 thankfully I had a half day at work today so I had earlier done some brisk walking and jogging before picking the kids. Gosh how silly could I have been like naijababe said I am hopeless

Ladies please be careful

Ewuro4:
Naijababe, Edwife, Damiso .. October 1 is a one spine shivering movie. Abuse & Anger , hmmm.

wish we can have more historic & indigenous movie like this. I'm sick of all these Brazilian weaves looking chicks on TV.

So Akute/Akote is ijebuland where different tribes are amalgamated during migration before independence? Interesting. Read the whole history before but forgot.

Fumilayo Ransome Kuti was feared & respected by whites? Iyalode kofoshi funrarae

I'm hungry for more.

Will def watch.. Will add to my list

naijababe:
Damiso, see wetin I discover today. There is also Kale crips at Pret's A manger

Wow .. Great find. At least one can now eat 'crisps' without feeling guilty not a big a crisp fan but still on those days one is feeling guilty

Naijababe and Edwife All this crushes you people are shiaring....

I remember my dad used to say ' I am angry then I will be hungry on top again me I cant lose on two fronts ' LOL

This is me too.. The English ones were so wack and unrealistic at a time that I switched to the Yoruba ones ( they were wack ones too but at least the acting was less fake) and they were some good ones like those you said e.g Madam Dearest, Koseegbe, O Le Ku etc. I remember when my mum was coming over when I had my son and brought me a whole bag filled with Nollywood DVDS mostly Yoruba and some English ones. Oh my gosh the amount of crap in them put me off Yoruba movies for a very long time. I don't think I have fully recovered my taste for Nollywood after that traumatic episode.

Now I only ever watch Nollywood on recommendation.

Will check out all this ones you have recommended on Netflix.

naijababe:
Ok, I will check it out. Funny how I seem to go in cycles with Nollywood movies

There was a time the english really made sense with such movies like the gardner, out of bounds, mortal inheritance, when the sun sets............then they started churning out crap and I stopped watching them and watched only Yoruba ones and they produced some quality movies too such as Oko, KKK, Iru Esin and then turn have started churning out crap too...........so I am back to watching mostly english ones

it was kuku lunch o..I cant believe that I now eat like a bird

One thing I have had to learn by fire is portion control.. because even food that is good for you can be bad if its too much .e.g fruits are very nutritional and good for you but eating a whole bowl of grapes at one sitting Is like having two cans of Coke due to the amount of fructose/sugar in grapes. And that was me, sebi its fruits.LOL. Nuts nko ? I could eat a 100g bag of Almonds at a go that like 592 calories and that's just my mid morning snack. And I was wondering why the weight was not shifting.LOL silly me.

I even weigh my almonds now sef

ifyalways:
quote author=damiso post=35780700]Lunch today .. Boiled sweet potatoes ,steamed Kale and Fish Stew (croaker fish)
This my church people can test persons self will eh today there was cake,meat pie(proper naija one) ,sausage roll(also proper thick naija dough) scotch egg,puff puff , buns,malt , chin chin fish gosh

**come and join me sing hallelujah***
Hmmmn.
Is this lunch or appetiser? Una dey try gan.
@Efe, a friend recommended a GYM. I will check them out this weekend. I used to religiously do 100 squats each morning but we had some house guests which altered my morning routine and gbam, that was the end of my squats.

naijababe:
Yay!!! Chop knuckle


Day 13 done, I got this on a lockdown! Even if I am already dreading level 2, although still a good 7 days away

I am too .. I am on day 12 today

naijababe:
naija church square mile.......Old Kent Rd niyen

You don get am chop knuckle .

That my husband and his mouth ehn He once asked my pastor why RCCG keeps opening parishes everywhere like Tesco Express I wanted to enter the ground that day

cococandy:
None of them will talk to you and healthy meals.

There's this naija Church that I go to whenever I'm in Florida and they don't need any reason to bring food.

It's a normal Sunday routine for them. We can't just do without food at gatherings.

Like you know .. somebody actually 'confessed' to joining us cos we 'fed' him.

Yeah it is , it's a sign of love it sometimes it gets too much.

Kimoni:
Pls where is your church?

it's around where my husband calls the 'naija church square mile' .

Jokes apart though there is always one person or the other celebrating something ,if it's not baby decdication,it's birthday, it's Father's Day ,it's Mother's Day, women's seminar ,love feast etc . And food must show at all of them.calorie laden food for that matter




At the last women's seminar,they were already plotting ayamase efo riro( we have like three caterers) I had to say 'don't you people know more than food ni' every opportunity to organise 'come chop'. They scaled it down but I will look one phone for a picture of how it looks sometimes

Modified - I found one

I think I need to organise a healthy eating seminar
