EfemenaXY:
Simple.

You're building muscles, dear.

I planned on going out to the gym today but just one look outside at the weather, and I changed my mind jare. It's still raining sef. And it'll rain tomorrow morning too. Imagine having a cold, grey, wet, miserable Monday morning...

Ah, tell me about this weather today. I dont like rainy days.

I also cancelled my gym plan because of the weather. Will go in the morning hopefully.

I actually plan to be doing 30-40mins run plus level 1 and 2 JM 30days shred say 5days a week. I wish i can really keep to it. The spirit is indeed willing but the flesh eh...God help us

EfemenaXY:


Nne, you dey follow Moca and Edwife mis-spell my name now?

Ah, i miss-spell am? No vex, usually, i just quote you or copy your name and paste.

I have just finished Jm level 1 and 2 for today. Sweated like tomorrow no dey.

How do you explain my clothes fitting loosely and the scale reading going up?

Kimoni:
Madam queen, you can jump for Africa ooo. Which time you reach level 2 nownownow

It's all good jare, I agree level 1 has become very boring

Lol@ jumping for Africa. Nne, i got a bit tired and bored with level 1. Secondly, i feel like 27 mins workout is short. So, yesterday i did level 1 , 2 and the 6 weeks 6packs workout, although i didnt finish the 6packs thing, stopped about midway into it.
Today i am also doing level 1 & 2. Would have gone for a run at the gym but this weather today sef no follow, make i kukuma siddon for house o jare.

EfemanaXY and other gurus, come and explain, may be i am building muscles. I Feel leaner, my clothes confirm it but the scale is going up and not down

Happy sunday everyone

naijababe:
I am starting level 2 on Monday jo! I went parrying yesterday and did not get out of bed until noon today. So I am moving on jare.....that level one is boring now and I don't want to lose my momentum.

Hahaha, thought i was the only one who felt that way about that level one. Me started level 2 today biko.

Day 5 done. Well, for missing yesterday, i did level 1 and 2 today. I might be tempted to continue like that.

sashacoleman:

@EfemenaXY, i am on day 3 Jm level 1 30days shred, i also do add a bit of running to it.

Foodwise, i wasnt good yesterday, it was my graduation so i ate chinese with friends.

I came here to put up my grad pics for 30mins only to realise that spambot got me because of the post in quote. I am yet to figure out what it was about the post that i was banned for.

Hahaha....nne i no fit laugh especially at the point where she said spiritual liposuction to all areas necessary

EfemenaXY:
My dear, I'm fine jor. Thanks for asking.

Don't slack oh! It's not allowed. I'm still struggling to hit that 60's mark.

Remember how I used to make mouth about climbing up and down all the way to the 5th floor at work? Now I've changed offices, I won't dare it. Not with me being on the 20th floor now.

The only stair climbing I get to do now when out and about is at the underground tube stations - Damiso style

I still do the morning exercises though, but not half as much as I used to. I wake up an hour early and just about squeeze in 30mins sit-ups / lower abs workout + 30 mins running. Can you imagine, a whole me doing just 30mins instead of my 2hrs run?

God dey sha

Thanks for the motivation. You know if not for your mention, i wouldn't have known this thread existed. I have just gone through a couple of pages and realized that the pain/ache i experienced following that video work out was not peculiar to me. In fact, i nearly thought i probably had a problem with my knees because i could hardly bend them especially at those stages that looked like squats.

Anyway, i am just gonna head to the gym now to run for 30 minutes or so....as the spirit leads.

Biko carry me along in this journey, i am still stuck at 65kg.

Off to the gym now, larra.

EfemenaXY:
Okay, exercises done a couple of hours ago.

Like I've always said, this Jillain M's stuff isn't my forte...

~ 20 mins sit-ups / side sit-ups done

~ 10 mins targeted lower abs workout completed, thanks to Cassey.

No running done today though. Was already hot by 8:00a.m to it's gonna be tomorrow morning.

Now where is my Nairaland exercising twin, Queen47?

Chai nne eh, your twin is gradually slacking oh....the quest for money is getting in the way. I ran once this week and did that JM youtube exercise Chilli or someone posted. Ah....i ached for days after that youtube exercise

I am picking up again this week.

How are you? How is your exercise coming up?

all4naija:
Where are you at? Just curious to know while looking at you plate of meal. Bwahaha...

Nnaa, i no get your time abeg....

EfemenaXY:
Lol! Nice one queen.

Yep, we're all good my dear.

That moi-moi of yours looks absolutely yummilicious - keep up the good work sister.

Thanks sis. I still have some if you want...lol

thorpido:
The people above have said it all.Heartbreaks are hard to take but time makes the pain ease off.
You're just 30yrs.Don't get desperate.Guys like to take advantage of much older girls because they know they want to settle down.
Just occupy yourself.Pick up a hobby apart from your work.If you worship in a church,you could join a dept so you are busier and at the same time can enjoy fellowship with some people.

Oga, I sight you ooo.
How have you been?

EfemenaXY:
Where is queen47?

Not seen this babe for a while now. Hope you're fine dear and still eating clean and exercising too?

Thanks sis for asking of me. I dey jare. Been terribly busy. Have hardly had time to work out but still eating as clean as possible.

Here's my lunch yesterday.
Salad, avocado and moimoi.

How are you and your batalion

ferdimako:
Dey there dey wait...u no go get cash and u no go school but u want sb who has both....hehehehe

Ferdimako my friend from HSW thread. Long time!

EfemenaXY:
You'll be fine. Slow and steady. No rush, dear.

Thanks dear. You've been a huge source of encouragement/motivation for me

EfemenaXY:
Lol! Nice.

I half-heartedly tried the crash diet of a thing but didn't make it till noon.

Not really my thing, so I'm focusing more on exercising and eating clean. I stopped taking the lifts and have been climbing the stairs to the fifth floor, back and forth, several times a day, with a heavy back pack, all week. I even registered for the Saturday morning Adult Advanced swim classes at my local Health and Fitness Leisure Center...to perfect my strokes. Lemme see how that goes.

But good on you for the weight loss. Try not to put it back on oh! I know, easier said than done

Thanks Jare

I will make efforts not to put the weight back on. Anyways, this is the biggest i have ever been all my life...used to fluctuate between 55-58, eventually, i settled at 60kg. I think i got to this 69-70kg because i relocated and with the challenges of settling and eating all manner of rubbish on the go, i added without even knowing it. My eyes cleared when fitting into my size 10 jeans started becoming a challenge. For the first time in my life, i wore size 12 jeans/pants.

Chillisauce:
Enjoy yourself.
I would crash if I ate once a day.

Anyway... my soup

Those my friends fasting, better close your eyes.
babyosisi and kimoni too. Close your eyes.

Egusi with lots of tomatoes and 2 tablespoon of oil. Vegetable soup

lol @crash at one meal/day.
I made up with fruits na
I constantly loaded my bag with varieties of fruits and my cashew nuts so i had something to bite on whenever i felt hungry. Again, the fact that i was busy made it possible for me to cope.
I have realised that i tend to eat more when i am not busy. My mind just keeps manufacturing ideas of different things to eat .....na so my tummy go dey riot at the thought of all those food ideas.

Meanwhile, this your egusi soup set wella. I have not had soup of any kind in a very long time...may be up to 4 months or more sef.

EfemenaXY:
Where is Babyosisi a.k.a Babymama??

Not seen her around these parts and I am worried o! Chillisauce, do something na...

So, i did my semi crash diet........anyways, not really crash dieting, just tried to eat once a day but had lots of fruits and cashew nuts.
I only worked out 3times this week as i was really too busy to do more than than.
Lost 2kg from last week friday to today.

Will repeat same next week and try and see the possibility of working out up to 4-6days. I have 5more kg to loose before 20th July, thats doable na, abi?

Check me and my fruit/nuts combo out....hahaha

I had tears in my eyes reading this. Indeed, It is well. Stay strong. The Lord will give you loads of reasons to laugh

EfemenaXY:
Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Don't forget to remove the skin from your chicken though.

Okay, I'm back on track. Did 1hr 30mins jogging today after 1 hour's worth of a mixture of intensive cardios and lower abdominal exercises. Weight this morning was 71.2kg. So it's game on Queen.

Hope you're still with me on this to lose the 7kg or so?

I'm still game oo. Havent had time to exercise though.....so, i am trying to do a modified crash diet. Plan is to eat one good meal a day and have fruits the rest of the day. I went fruit shopping today. Also bought a pack of cashew nuts today for snacks.

As for the skin on the chicken, i didnt take it off ooo. I think i will just start buying skinless chicken. But, it was grilled sha.

Congrats on your weight loss, your scale is really moving, mine hasnt shifted since then. Now, i am challenged all over again...... make i go pack my running outfit inside my handbag all over again, na so i dey carry am up and down ooo so i can always drop in at the gym anytime..lol.

This competion with you just started again. Hahaha

Sauce for rice today

EfemenaXY:
Lol @ Warrior Diet. That sounds brutal...


Ah! 5kg in 5 days??!! That's too extreme na. Or did you mean to type 5th July?

Ah! I meant loose 5kg from now till 10th July. The 5 days is for the crash diet. I dont plan to do a crash diet for long.

I dont set unreachable goals abegi

naijababe:
There must be something with number 65, na for dia i tanda too, e tire me o I just need to shift 5 and I will be happy

My dear eh, tire no be small. I am probably gonna go on a semi crash diet for may be 4-5days, i wont over do it so i can shift from here biko. I don tire

EfemenaXY:
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!

Well, me i just cheated big time today with this local naija sauce called ayamase with friend plantain and white rice. I just heard of it recently. Interestingly, i was introduced to it by a Ghanaian friend.

I think I am gonna go on a semi crash diet. I must get rid of at least 5kg by 10th June jare.

EfemenaXY:
Hmmm...sounds do-able.

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

Buhaha......you meant to say THANK? Lol. Congrats jare. The weight finally shifted from 72, and me i just tanda for this 65 since that time.
Been crazily busy. Close work at 8:30pm and before i finish my close to an hour journey, it'll be too late to enter the gym as the gym closes at 10pm.

Chei...i am going to start skipping seriously since i cant go to the gym for now....Just that i am usually too tired to do anything when i get home

What's with this unending stories of incests and paedophilia bikonu?

babyosisi:
I almost killed azubuike early this morning wallahi

Kai! Nwanyi a ehn

EfemenaXY:
Lol! You try.

The last lap is usually the hardest, unlike the beginning which is easiest. My "problem" now is time. There just isn't enough of it. Twenty-four hours certainly isn't enough for one day.

Yea. I know the last bit is usually difficult to loose.

Talking about time, this week was just something else for me. I managed to workout only 3times through out the week, no time at all.

Meanwhile, here's me trying to do the 50-30-20 thing. Lol....

I've never really liked veggies, never ate them while growing up. I only started eating salads as an adult. Tried brussel sprouts one time but i just couldnt get it past my throat. I struggle with broccoli as well.
