uche13: @ML,HG,Agaba123 and Modath,
Thank you very much. Still very weak weak and on medications. Would be strong enough to post well soon.

Just take your time baby, and rest very well.

oluite: I haven't put logs for some days,have cold or flu and haven't been able to exercise but am doing some serious portion control.
I will put my logs tomorrow by God's grace.

Cold/Flu could signify over training, so just 'do am jeje o'. Take care of yourself dearie

Some lovely quotes.

"Fate only brings you so far, once your there it's up to you to make it happen."

"If you went running when you first started thinking about it, you'd be back by now."

"Others aren't staring at you. They're thinking how they should be running, too."

"Someone who is busier than you is running right now."

"It's easier to sleep than run. That's why sleeping isn't an Olympic sport."

Uche hope u start to feel better soon, I sure know how it feels not being at ones optimum health wise having being in such a situation recently. You shall overcome. Health is wealth indeed. I pray for speedy recovery for you.
HG: wow, a 5k run soon, go girl!
Ronky well done for not adding whilst on a break from working out
ML and Modath, how far?
Agaba hope you are doing gd, miss seeing your workouts sha.
Fresh face, Echala hope you are ok?
And Gen B what happened now, you just showed face briefly then disappeared again??

Sammiejo: Tae bo workouts are effective if you can get hold of them, also some are available on YouTube. The punches really help tone the arms and the kicks help tighten and tone your core. I found them so effective when shedding my pregnancy weight. My midriff had definition and I didn't even do sit ups.

Lovely, I know you will surely lose the last of the weight. But please always remember your baby o, as in eating healthy enough for him. About the food, its the reason I log it in here, I also realized eating many times a day, will keep you full all day and you are not likely to overeat when you know you will eat something very soon. Except when TOM's on the way, I seems to keep myself on track and also some occasional processed stuff, I feel ok with myself.
