On 30kg Chrome Dumbbell Sets

 



Look what arrived and it's so pretty in silver. The way the dispatch dropped it for me on the floor outside😭😭

But I did carry it up stairs without heaving so yay for good cardiovascular health. 

When I say the fear of osteoporosis got me into strength training, I mean that. Being helpless appalls me, so the sheer thought that my already weakened knees would get worse had me scampering for a solution. As long as I'm healthy, I refuse to allow this body not to be at its optimal state.

In all, I'm really grateful to Caroline Girvan for making hypertrophy training effective and not dreadful. It's not all roses and sunshine but some days are definitely better than the others. Let's get the home workout pushing.

50kg set next? Maybe. Let's see how long we go before this becomes my normal.

On building JavaScript without help - 1

I know, I have not garnered the expertise YET That I'm very much, still a beginner in web development But it doesn't make me feel any less sad. Because when I follow along tutorials, I grasp what the instructor is doing. And I code along with them However, when push comes to shove (as it did this afternoon, I'm stuck) However, I'm not going to beat myself up, cos I actually succeeded in creating a toggle on the DOM And I'd been wrapping my head around how I did those.  Of course, I know this is a progress, and I tried. And I created something without following along instructions. I'm just recording this here, so I'd reminisce over how I'd felt. At how "slow" I'd felt at this point, this day. I still have a long way to go. But I console myself with the fact that 5 months ago, I didn't know what the hell "a variable" was I was unable to link my stylesheet cos I didn't know how to add a folder A month ago, I didn't know h...

Be awake

 While you're yet to discover your passion/purpose in future, can you just learn simple handy skills to have (just in case)... I know we've said since time immemorial not to pressure anyone or to rest from lockdown, but going with the state of this country, it's of utmost importance that you awake from your slumber. The time for sleeping is gone - over. You should be wide awake by now. This country is a mess... We are on our own. So as you're yet to discover the passion/purpose you should have, try and learn something significant. Learn Google and MS suites - at least even if you no learn anything to do now. Many Undergraduates cannot even navigate as little as MS Word. They don't know what index is, Text alignment, Pagination, etc... Not to talk of the other suites. In my case, I mastered Google docs when my friend (in another location) asked me to create play drama.  Prior to then, I didn't know you can edit and review comments in the application. And that was...

Notions (Today)

Today was something else. Tiring but well spent. (8/8/2019) My first class by 7, and we ran to Political science Dept as it was raining. I didn't really stay through the lectures, it was occupied. I took some shots cos I felt I was dressing cool and all. From there, I went back to the department and my friends and I decided to go to the market to measure the clothes my friends and I would wear for our departmental night. On reaching to the market, to the shop where we could buy materials. Ifechukwu and I bargained for the price. I surprised myself the more with how vocal I was about selection of the material to wear and the bargaining. From there, we got to the place where we measured the clothes, we received biscuits from the people on the line as one was celebrating birthday. It was there I learnt my cloth size as I hadn't measured in a while. We were en route coming back and Ifechukwu saw a place where "bell" was open. She saw an opportunity to buy cloth she w...
