Saturday 4th June

Exercise: Day 15 - JM Riped in 30 dvd (30 mins)

Reflection:

So i've reached the end of week 3 of this dvd. 1 more week to go before I'll have completed all 4 levels.
This has been the hardest week so far- a really gruelling workout .  My stamina for planks and push ups has greatly improved, me that couldn't even do 4 push ups in a row before i'm now doing all sort of variations of them plus crazy plank moves ala JM,  check me!  lol.

Hope you're all having a good weekend.

Wey my people,
I need a fix,HG,Barbie,GEN B e.t.C. knowing you guys are committed makes all these easier to bear.
I had to step up on the jog during my cardio intervals on saturday&this morning too cos I want to put a bit more omph into my workout and doing the shred has gotten a bit harder than normal. I fell, the temptation was too much to ignore, hopefully the month long break from jog/run will pay off. I am not in pain though.

wow! Modath you really need to be careful o. I feel you should stop running totally, you can power walk or just walk. Get Tae bo and use it to impovise for your cardio workout. I think you have been able to maintain your current weight for months and thats kudos to you in my opinion. So pls just do am jeje. If abs is not a taboo, i think you can intensify on that so that your tummy stay tight. You are my hero

HG dearie,
I am grinning from ear to ear!!shame dey catch me ooo. sincerely,am sorry for breaking my word. Shred has started showing me up and am feeling my energy level and stamina depleting,my belle too no dey gree suck in anymore. LOL.
Thanks for the love and corcern, I'll redress the situation. Cash ya leta.

Gen B,whatz gwan.?don't like your silence.

Sun is hot then the rain comes and everywhere is cool. Yea you are right. Let me just add another form of exercise.  I was waiting for maisuya o finish his work when a guys car stopped in the middle of the road. I thought ot helping but held back. Like he read my mind and he asked if i could help push i for him. I pushed for over hundred meters and i was sweating like christmas goat.

@Hour_Glass
Madam ,
Thank you, please do not get discouraged.
Your logs seem good, but you have not answered my question about the amount of water you are drinking daily.
It may be that problem may be due to inadequate water consumption.

You should aim for 3L daily and see if it helps.

Also you may be replacing fat with muscle which is heavier, so although you have not lost weight you are probably trimmer.

@Agaba: Well done indeed, ku se o! .
Interesting point about running out there, never thought about the diff in air. i always though it would be harder depending on the time of the day i guess, also seems u are closer north so not so oppressive heat?

@Modath: babe i've been picturing this move in my head since i read your post this morning. Will be trying it out tmrw and report back. Sounds very JM ish and i just know it will be a killer on the quads How far with your regime?

Decided to skip my RI30 w/o this morning. Had to listen to my body as i was quite knackered ( i usually wake up early to exercise before the household wakes). The extra rest in bed has done me good. Going to my aerobics class later this evening. Back on the Ripped prog tmrw.

Trust me there is much difference. The sun won't be an issue even though I am northward because I run early.

Also I did not notice any difference between South and North. The sweating na the same oo.

By the way I will pocket the 'well done' and eat the 'ku se' lol

Well done everyone, food: rice and beans + 1 local cheese, 1 50cl drink, 1 scotch egg, yam/potatoe pottage and dried fish, 1.5 litres water (rainy and cold day). Exercise was 5 mins air boxing and 10 buckets of water fetched from the well up a storey building, no pausing and of course my heart beat was high. On a 7 hour journey tomorrow for wedding, wish me safe journey. Take care.
