No. 5kg weight. You can lie and lift it. Helps in abs too.

Hmmm...sounds do-able.

D'you know I came down from 72kg to 70.9kg? And now this yeye injury. I think I blame queen47 for this...making me go faster than my normal pace.

I've been yo-yoing between 70kg and 72 kg jor. Being forced to tone down on the high intensive cardiovascular exercises isn't helping my case either.

Arrrgghhh! I just wanna RUN queen. Everyother exercise sort of pales when compared to running. Boring almost. This is definitely a case of the body
is willing, but the body is "weak".

No running. No dance workout. No JJ's. Mtcheew. Maybe I should cheat and go on a crash diet sef...lol!

Do more sports, more vegetables and cut your food portion.

Stop eating snails and Efo riro for now until you reach your point. In the main time forward all to me.

Instead of running for 1hr. Go for fast walk for 2hrs. Get a band for the leg. Even as you are limping. With time the bones will align.
I guess.

I thought about you this morning o, wondering where you dey hide? Still in the box? Kai! This is procrastination 101

Don't mind me not hiding o just so busy these days ni ojare. I just cant be bothered to start assembling when my smoothie maker is just there ready to go ( you know am lazy naa ).

Besides Hayfever is showing me pepper thankfully no itchy eyes just this annoying sneezing and sniffling.

Naijababe,

Give me your efo recipe please.

The who nine yard and what vegetables I can substitute for what you used.

Naijababe,

I like my efo crispy and green, you know like efo tete, kale/spring greens are the best substitute, if however you like it soft, use spinach.


Wash the vegetables(kale in this instance) and pour in a pot of really hot water. It is best to put the veg in as soon as the water starts to boil but turn off the fire immediately. Make sure the water completely covers the vegetables and cover the for pot for about 5 mins ( I believe this process is called blanching). After 5 mins or so, drain away the hot water and replace with cold water and set aside. If you are using spinach, leave the veg for about 2 mins otherwise it will become completely soggy.

Blend your peppers - whatever your combo is ( i like to use a combo of orange and red bell peppers with tomato, onion, a hint of ginger, atarodo and half a clove of garlic).

Heat some oil and add your blended peppers, add some stock (i always have frozen stock stock and prefer that to maggi and salt and leave to boil until the sauce is cooked.
Add your orisirisi (meat, saki etc) at this point and cover half-way ( you want your meat to cook but also some of the water in the sauce to evaporate. While your pepper is cooking, strain the water from your veg and take enough to fit in your palms at a time and squeeze out as much of the excess water as you can. You want the veg to be completely dry and leave aside.

Go back to your cooking sauce and ensure most of the water has evaporated, it should be really really thick, add your vegetables at this point and use a ladle to turn the vegetable in and and around the sauce under medium to low heat for about 3-5mins. Once your vegetable has been thoroughly mixed with the sauce, remove from heat ans serve. That's all

You owe me £10

problems of the world. Since I got to 58kg I refused to move again.
I've been doing my weight loss meals and exercises and all o. The last 3kg just refused to go.
The speed that I came down from almost 70 with made me believe it would continue like that.

I'm thinking of giving up on the diet thing since it seems Ive reach setting point.

Abi will I wake up one day and that miraculous 3kg has gone? Somebody tell me.

I'm not limping oh! Thank goodness for that. I didn't let it get to that stage. It's just a dull twinge sort of ache I feel whenever I put pressure on it.

Anyway, when I said "cheat & crash diet", I meant abandoning you lot over here and defaulting to Bellong's quick fix how to drop 12kg in 2 weeks thread.

Will you be terribly angry if I jump ship to sample the green grass on the other side of the fence? I can always come back to cry on una shoulders if it doesn't work out...

Since you are not limping, you could do a fast walk instead for maybe 30mins. Don't just sit there doing nothing. With time it will pass.

For the cheat and crash diet, it depends on what you want.

Since you are not exercising like before , you don't need the same quantity of food you eat like when you are exercising. Only eat when hungry and eat healthy.

Sometimes when I have no time for exercise, I take my tea and hurry off. Sometimes I don't even remember I had no breakfast. Forget about all the talk that breakfast is the most important meal bla bla bla. It all depends on what you ate before bed. These days I tend to eat more at dinner.
anyway what I'm saying, it's summer.. (I Don start my own) , enjoy your body. Look yourself in the mirror. If you love what you see, don't bother too much about the weight. It will gradually come off.
remember not to compare weight with friends. Even if you both are same height. Your head fit big pass their own hence more weight .

Go rock your new body jare and let nature take its course abi Na cause.

Her food looks colourful. I go pass her but only give her warning for the fried chicken

The way the oil is bubbling reminds me of babyosisi and kimoni.
