Happy to be "properly" back

I have been off this thread and off exercising for the past 50 days. I have been able to do portion control correctly thereby stagnating my weight at 82.5kg, although at some point i bloated up to 85kg due to medications which also left me sick. Now am ok and good at 82.5kg and ready to continue bigger than when i started. Anyways, i may not be able to log my daily exercise and food routine, i will write how my weekly exercise log looks like.

Day 1: Cardio*/Flexibility Workout (stretch*)
Day 2: Rest/Abs or Total Workout (circuit*)
Day 3: Cardio/Flexibility Workout (stretch)
Day 4: Rest/Total Workout or Abs*
Day 5: Rest
Day 6: Circuit Training/Abs and Back*
Day 7 Rest

Cardio - Brisk-walking, Jumping Rope or Jogging
Circuit - its just working out (all forms of aerobics) without breaking at all
Abs - Crunches, back extensions, plank, bird dog etc
Back - Dead-lifts, back extensions, bicycle crunches etc
Total Body Strength or workout - Squats with dumbbells, push ups, lunges, chest press, dead-lifts, dumbbell row, triceps, biceps, bird dog, crunches etc.

Sets and time increases as the weeks goes by. I will always log my routine in when the time or sets changes and of course when i eat the wrong food too  . The only new diet i added is soya oil and labelled NO CHOLESTEROL, i dont know how true that is anyway.

Log for 1/12

Brunch 12 noon - 4 slices of white bread with spread

Dinner 9:13pm - 4 medium slices of yam and egg sauce (fried)

Water intake - Above 2 ltrs

Exercise - Nil (but on the move for an hour)

@Eja,
You are killing me,why didn't you have water with the gala and cake(which the baby needed promptly).you are a naughty one ooooo.

@Coxty,
Hi,but you still haven't answered the questions posed!!!!!!!!.anyway i have just one tip for you,
Review Romeo's posts carefully,both on this thread and on the other ''FITNESS INSTRUCTOR IN THE HOUSE'' thread.
when you do so,all the tools you need are right there.

@Mightlove,
I am doing great.my weight has plateaued at 76-78kg and barely any inches lost since heaven knows when[i still get my workout in,the diet part is a way of life now],and the advise i have latched on to in all my internet cruising is to allow the body to settle at a particular point for 3-6 months so the body can reset itself to the newer lower weight so the body's resistance will be minimal compared to when everything is done in one swoop.
You know fat is like savings for the body and it resists attempts to "rob" it but if its done gradually it will barely feel it.

Hi people,M not new to this thread but I left it a long time ago but am back now.
What happened to trim and trendy? She was our fitness instructor back in the dayz!
I just had my 2nd baby 5weeks ago and am ready to start exercising. I currently weigh 81kg and my goal is to lose @least 10kg in 2months and I need ur help to achieve that. I need motivation and tips from Ɣ☺ΰ guys.I have an elliptical trainer @ home, I also have some excercise DVDs but am currently not motivated to work out.I had a normal delivery and am all healed so I guess am good to go!
But u guyz gotta help me plzzzzzz!!!

@ Uchey welcome back And congrats on your new baby. You've made me jealous with your current weight mine is unmentionable right now

@ Coxty, in the pages of this particular thread are posts by Romeo that can help you if you would only take the time to read them. It's tiring repeating it all over again. You can randomly start from page 10 and begin to read focusing on where Romeo posted or start from the beginning and focus on trimandtrendy's posts. Romeo has another thread titled "Certified Fitness and Nutritionist expert in the house" or something like that. Search for it and read it.

welcome back uchey and congratulations on your new baby.

@Romeo,
The right part of my stomach bulges slightly than the left[i freaked out when i first noticed it but when i went to the doctor, i was advised as usual to ''lose weight' and get great support shape wear for the bulge.should i take it as it is or i should get a second hospital opinion[ i saw two different doctors on different days in my primary health care center]

Modah I'm fine thanks. Body is getting rounder and baby is kicking
