Friday 29th Jan.
Same as thursday 28th,added 5hrs of bush(tomato,yam,fresh produce etc) market waka,still in PAIN!Will skip hard core workout today;would have done Yoga meltdown if it had been what can be called "Relaxing" but since JM doesn't mess around,will just take a gentle walk.

[quote author=Hour_Glass]Are you avoiding me or somethn? I see you in other threads, i no gud o.[/quote]Of course he is avoiding you , didn't I warn you not to give up the "cookie" so easily Anyway I have removed his name from the folks that are getting easter fura de nunu.

@HG,
*Finished in about 50mins*
Circuit 1 &2 of level one and level 2 of shred,5 mins of "super fast" jump rope, planned to round it off with yoga meltdown but gave up after 2 minutes,cos the poses were just not doable today, it's supposed to be "relaxing" but I don't think Jillian knows the meaning of that word.
Thanks HG for motivating me,I know that what I did today was just cos I had to log as promised(& I have grown beyond fooling myself) so I got off my butt.

@barbie,
How body? Long time.

@yinka,
Even if we scold you till we are blue in the face;unless we are physically present where you are, you are still go do YOU!!! So weigh the options and make your choices. There are days/weeks that I give up as well but I know there is no one that can seal my lips or run with my body so I slap myself out of my lethargy & get a move on.
Yinka,an alcoholic shouldn't work behind a bar, that's my 2k.

....

@HG,
Apologies, will start logging from tomorrow cos I didn't do anything yesterday and today.Life got in the way,I am happy to report a kg loss.
You have also spurred me with your current weight. Thanks.

nddchowfar: Please, can anyone advise on the best and easiest way to get to the US embassy on Walter Carrington crescent from Iyana-paja using public transportation? I know I can get a BRT bus from iyanapaja going straight to CMS but where do I get off, and how do i go from there? Especially now that there are no more okadas in operation.

Please advise me nairalanders. Thank you.

@ OP,
I don't want you to take this the wrong way but if you can afford 250k and above for a US flight ticket you definitely can afford 2-3k for a cab,you eliminate the stress that goes with commuting and you arrive composed and ready,I'm assuming you are not familiar with that route?.

Today is my bday and I kicked the day off by doing 1hr of cardio.No plan of succumbing to any kind of "celebratory" food mishap.
5kg of fat is a lot of weight to shift&I've just 8 weeks to do it.

@Opsy4real,
I am no guru but my advise is simple,do not tell a "story" you can't substantiate,don't do it,be hopeful and be bold without being arrogant/cocky. if you don't get the visa this time, know that you still have an excellent chance because whatever you write on your DS-160 and tell the VO can never be EXPUNGED from your records!!
I filled unemployed and stuck with it(people sitting gasped when they heard me,I could hear a pin drop) and I still got my visa as a FIRST time applicant,will collect this week.Don't appear desperate,make it appear that if they don't grant you the visa it doesn't have any negative impact on your existence.
Most people come out cursing the VOs and the whole US embassy but I could guess and did guess correctly about 90% of the people that would get denied based purely on their body language and the first 3-4 answers they gave to questions asked. Favour will be yours.

agabaI23: Congratulations. I saw it coming sweetie. Buy Obama for me when you are coming back...lol
See, most of those guys are trained to be psychologists. Just your composure while talking with you was enough interview. They know when someone is trying to conceal something.
Congrats again.

Check the usa visit visa thread in travel,I posted in details our Q&A. Thanks.

[quote author=Hour_Glass]See me o, I did not get the gist sha. Am so happy for you guys, I hope you have a swell time. I hope kiddos are going this time around, if not I will become a child right lawyer instantly.[/quote]Na Abokoku levels for now,we are taking them to dubai @ xmas.next year we'll plan for them.place wey we too be JJC we go carry my handful go(i beat them on the hour)how will I manage themwe are also planning to do a multi(make UK visa no waste)trip so it will be dicey. we know our way around Dubai so its easier.

babs2011: Nice one Modath, congrats o, no be small thing getting US visa!

Barbie,merci.I always gave people side eye when they congratulate people cos of US visa but I now see it is worth the felicitation. Barbie,people get denied like 5x in a row and on our first attempt we were granted and with me having no job to come back to,the hall went quiet when I told the VO I am unemployed(I'm sure they must have been thinking oh noooo,why did she have to say that!!denial for sure) they congratulated us when we turned to leave .I saw rich folks, pastor!!!!, whole family,groups going on course/training,govt officials etc being denied right before my very eyes,I no know wetin we do wey we take special pass.
As @ when we had our interview,like over 50 applications were heard,only 5-6 visas were granted and my neighbour's cousin said after us only 2-3 of about 20 people that came after us got visas,that is from 11 to about 12:30/1pm.

babyfaiz: .
it was cubicle 8. I was there when they gave that young lady visa. I guess most applicants were shocked, cause she was pretty young. I even think the guy in 9 is a bit lenient, he is a young lad. Please tell me about your interview, did it go well?

That means your interview was after ours some minutes after the lady was granted.I wasn't shocked at all.I listened to her and she convinced the guy that going to the US will ensure continous funding of her project, she said and I quote "as the project co-ordinator,the donor needs an analysis of how the funds are utilised so we can get another grant",she was ARTICULATE!!we got the same guy in cubicle 9,he wasn't lenient one bit, we just stuck to what was in our DS-160 and didn't try to waver one bit,I'm unemployed,filled it in my form & didn't try to dress it up or put any spin when I was asked.
You might remember us,I was with my husband,wore a grey dress,my SO wore a black striped shirt & tan trousers.Go to the USA visit visa thread,all the questions&answers we gave are there.

[quote author=Hour_Glass]My sister, Alingo, Azonto (except etzighi) are all hardcore, there is no way your waist won't give way after following the steps for 5 mins. 75kg (the highest I weigh now) is doable o, we shall get there soon.[/quote]We got the Visa,that's what the dance is about,you didn't get what my Yippeee was about...@ 5'6(.5)my 75kg needs 5-6 days of maintainance,78kg just needs 4days, will do it cos I want to shrink the belle more.

ME:My mum.

WE: chicago

V0: Why Chicago?

HG,
Yippeee....dancing alingo(p square should make that video 20mins long,its a hardcore workout dance,I almost had muscle spasm when I tried it),now there is an incentive to get to 75kg now.

Agaby,
Make you go open soothsaying shop o, you were right on the monaay! only problem now na cheap ticket cos all these 300k and above from Abuja is not the business ooo.
No be even direct ooo!!
Come see as denials just dey go on like competition between the VOs, the strong face guy in cubicle 9(undisputed champion) wey I dey pray not to call us said next;I just get instant diarrhea cos he only granted one NGO chick in over an hour. One single paper he didn't ask for,was chatting with us and even "smiled" and happily said "pick....... my husby is so upset that he's been stressed over nothing

@OP,
Were you interviewed today 1st of march?? Which cubicle if I may ask cos we(my hus & 1) got the guy in cubicle 9(who denied everyone but one chick that is an executive in one NGO)and we were so sceptical about him but he granted our visas.
Bros don't take offence but there is a bit of contradiction between your answer and your DS-160 form and a friend already told us that one sure way to get denied is any form of "INCONSTITENCY" no matter how negligible we assume it to be.
Do a review and let it guide you next time cos the visa fee may be inconsiquential in the general scheme of things,the stress is not.
