lorkiy: Hi Lorkiy, For the breakfast, depends on whether the bread is white or wholemeal bread. I love toast so much esp white bread and buttered but it is not the best if you are trying to shed some. I still love to indulge so limit it to 1/2 slices and only scrapping of butter - less damage. For white bread 4 slices could easily equate to 400 slices (without butter on it). An egg is roughly 70 cals. For your cup of tea also depends what type of milk you use. If you are using evapoated milk (e.g carnation) they have high fat content. If you are using fresh milk then semi-skimmed is best. And even then just a drop should do. Cereals too are good for breakfast and oats (porridge) can keep you fuller for longer. Portion sizes for the other stuff. Its just a rough guide. Rice - usually 1- 2 serving spoon should be ok just fill up the plate with lots more veg/salad or even boiled beans. Indomie- 1 regular size packet is ok (not the jumbo one). Roughly equates to 300 ish cals per pack. you ccan also bulk it up with veg/salad etc Yam - i tend to stick with 1 slice (large). then fill up with side such as fish stew, beans etc, Fruits are ok and are great as snacks. Eba and similar stuff - a fist sized portion is ideal as they are calorie dense food. Also try to cook with less palm oil, use more olive oil if you can. |

GenBuhari: ^ you and your suspicious mind eh? i was praising for you for sticking with one small slice. I can't say i'm at that stage yet, still working on that. |

modath: Totally agree with the key/keyholder analogy ![]() Glad your mojo is back, need some JM support here heehee! As for the Ripped in 30, what can I say?? JM is. insane. Period. My buns, arms and legs are hurting but in a good way. I'm doing weeek 1 at the moment and I've just completed day 3 this morning. There are squat galores, press ups, arm lifts, dead lifts, rowing, lunges, hops, lots of butt kicks, punches, crunches etc. it's a whole body circuit in the same format as shred - 3 mins strength, 2 mins cardio , 1 min abs. The intensity in this level is just about managable for me to maintain proper form and I'm sweating bucket loads despite opeining the doors and windows. You have to use 2 diff sets of weights, one heavy set and one light depending on the actual exercise. Looking forward to what week 2 will bring. Apparently in week 3 its total insanity! As as usual the beauty of this dvd is that the actual workout is only 24 minutes long so just when your muscles are about buckling and you feel like fainting- its over! ![]() ![]() One thing I like is JM pep talk and she reminds you that you have to eat right to get the results she promises. In her words' you can easily eat through the amount of calories you've burnt in the session and over to render your efforts totally worthless' When i hear those words each time i'm doing the w/o and remember how hard i've worked and sweat i really do think twice about what i'm putting in my mouth that day. At least for now its helping my selfcontrol issues with food. |

@agaba, i'm liking that proper reverse crunch. It def looks more effective. Just got back from power walking with my neighbour. She is begining to drop weight and is happy. We even did sprinting round the track ![]() GenBuhari:^^ talk about self control eh, nice one ![]() @ Jaula, welcome. what dvd's do you have? Logging helps indeed as then you feel accountable. @HG welcome back o. |

Monday 16th May Exercise: JM Ripped in 30 Dvd Level 1, day 1 (24mins + 6mins warm and cool down). 15mins brisk walk Food: Breakfast - Bowl of cereal + milk Lunch - 1 white bread roll and 1 egg (fried) Dinner - Plantain and beans with sweetcorn. Snack - 1/2 mango, 1 yoghurt Drink - lots of water So I've started level 1 of the new Jillian Micheal dvd, Ripped in 30. It has 4 levels of intensity. You do 1 level per week and gradually move up the levels each week. So in essence one should complete all 4 levels in 30 days i.e one month. However I'm planning to modify how i do it. For this week i am to do level 1 mon-fri and have the weekend off. then move to the next level next week etc. Well thats the plan ![]() @HG, hope u start to feel better. @all, please no grudges in the house o! |

modath:^^ @modath, thanks for the advice re: the weights used in shred. Actually you're right, the jump from 2kg to 4kg was too much and it did affect my form and my muscles were really tight and sore up till now, I will try and look for 3kg weights then. Eku ale jo, (sorry if spelt wrong, not yoruba myself but married to one ![]() |

agabaI23: ^oops i stand corrected. ![]() ^^ true talk, a girl has to do what a girl, blah blah might indeed be the case here. ![]() |

agabaI23:^ 'Power walk' of course, ![]() ![]() As for my neighbour she is loving the walks, she's always booking the next session etc. seems something has clicked for her as before she never seemed bothered about fitness/losing weight etc. long may it last. |
![]() |
^^ yeah i guess so. But i was also worried about 'bulking' up using those heavier weights. Just want toned lean muscles and the reps are a lot in the workout, was hard to sustain good form with the 4kg weights. Well done on your running. Exercise: 60mins brisk walk. |
![]() |
hi all been away off location but back now. Had serious muscular pain mon and tuesday. think its the increase in weights (4kg) used for the shred. will go back to using 2kg weights. The reps are a lot so lighter weights are prob better. Food: Breakfast - Toast and fried egg, cup of coffee. Lunch - Rice and vegetable soup with dried fish Snack - 2 shortbread fingers, handful of red grapes Drinks - Water Exercise - tbc, will be going power walking. |
