It rains everyday and exercising outdoor is almost impossible.I found this thread from the thread starter(OP) when searching for better means of portion control for food and indoor exercise.https://www.nairaland.com/231564/full-weight-loss-guide-read
I felt like i wasn't doing enough after reading it
So this week i am working on reducing rice and eating more healthy options.
Happy New Month everyone.

Hi everyone, good morning.....My exercise for last week was not much....this 3 days or 4 days a week is making me a little bit lazy....

Logs for yesterday, 25 minutes body sculpting, i targeted my upper body, had to do some pushups and weight lifting just to build some muscles....i still feel sore from doing that....

later in the evening, did 30 minutes pilates....just to ease out every muscle and i stretched alot, it really helped my aching body...was great too.

Food Logs for today

9:30am - 100g bread + 4 akara balls

2:15pm - 4 large garden eggs

5:15pm - handful asoky and 2 palm sized peanuts

Dinner - Yams and 2 scrambled eggs I eventually took the beans with plantain

(am supposed to take beans tonight but my tummy is not cooperating at al)

Exercise Logs

10 mins on the stationary bike
15 mins on the elliptical trainer
15 mins on the treadmill (ran 1 mile/1.7km)
10 mins Jump Rope intervals

My shin nearly disappointed me again today. I will make sure to spare those legs 2mao.

Good morning everyone...how was your night?

Am so excited about my workout yesterday...it was fun, danced for 45 minutes, i had a collection of new songs so i was dancing and shaking it....no doubt i burned alot of calories, because i was sweating like crazy...and that was after i had 'eba and egusi soup" for dinner ...yum-yum-yummy..

Might dance to day also, if i can't help it....time for iyanya-kukere....

You've really got your groove back, happy for ya

Cannot remember how many days ave not logged my meals. If it may interest you that logging my meals makes know how much I have eaten in a day, it is actually easier and more motivational to log it in here than in a book, though I would have preferred the book now but I don't have any reason not to bring it here yet.

Today's Log

7:45am - 1 cup corn flakes + 1/2 cup milk + 1 cube sugar

1:10pm - 1 egg roll + 1 550ml viju chocolate milk

3:45pm - 1 banana

7:15pm - 1 cup rice + 1 roundabout

Dinner -

Point to note: by the time I took those processed stuffs today, I was shaking with hunger and just grabbed the available thing around me. This is actually an excuse because I would normally not take that, I wasn't craving it at all.

Exercise - Nil yet

A wonderful week of workouts and weight loss starts tomorrow. Have a nice week ahead

Hello All,

It's been a while, I hope everyone's doing okay and still working towards healthy living. Personally.

Tomorrow I am starting the 60 days intense INSANITY workout, I wrote about this workout program a few months ago, but I have been putting off starting the program because of how suicidal it looks. I recently bought the DVD set. So starting tomorrow morning and for the next 60 days, I am going to be sweating it out with Shaun T and his team. I will try as much as possible to log my daily activity during the 60 days.

I have taken some before pictures tonight and weighed myself. After 60 days I will post my before and after pictures and weight measurements.

Wish me luck as I embark on this all important journey.

Hour_Glass: ^^^ howdy

I am good and u?

I did oooo, i hope that is not a bad thing, i had a fistful of gari, 3 tablespoons of milk and a fistful of g.nut....that right there is 600 calories, i was crying when i was eating it ....i love me gari alot....i love the taste but hate the calories.....though i had exercised (saturday) for 45 minutes, doing intense cardio....it felt good.

Yesterday, was 35 minutes of pilates for the abs, arms and legs, killing but great.....
Had an apple and small cup of coffee for breakfast this morning, lunch will be boiled potatoes and fish stew.....(can"t wait)

Thanks o though i experienced some serious hunger pangs on Saturday,had to do swallow after 2 yam slices and some peanuts couldn't help.About the brown rice i am hoping i cant get some info about it,i just read its a good substitute for rice.Irish potato and sweet potato are healthier carb options.

hello house, good to see you are all doing well.
Yes, i was able to log 230 fitness minutes last week.
i am setting a target of 200 minutes (minimum) this week again.
Have a great week all.
