Editor’s Notes
It’s the end of Crop Over and with it comes a
new Magazine. Now we didn’t intend to take
such an extended break, nor did we plan for it
to end with Crop Over….but…life…yah
know?
Anyway…moving on…we’re back people. To
get this new block of content off, we’re just
easing into it and focusing on our stuff. We
have a new version of the workout diary. This
time, in addition to my take on it, Doddy
Dodson of Fitness with Doddy will be adding
his own notes on my performance. We also
will be announcing the first winner of our
Strike a Pose Competition in this issue.
Remember, there will be one random winner
each week in August so keep entering.
We’ve revamped our food section. It’s now
called Tobenna’s Recipe Book. Our Food
Editor is a highly trained Chef, both locally
and internationally, so we decided to push
that just a little more. Tobenna’s Recipe Book
can also be found on the website. We’ll be
adding past recipes to it as well as new ones
each week.
We want to thank you for your continued
support…even during out little hiatus. You
can continue to expect much more from us in
the coming weeks.

Chief Editor

Chicken Piccata
4 servings, 340 cals per serving
This is a basic pan-fried chicken with a lemon and butter
sauce. This type of recipe is very easy and once you get
used to the steps you can mix and match flavorings and
liquids to create awesome sauces. This recipe is ideally
served with pasta. It originated as veal piccata in Italy, but i
believe it was modified for chicken when it had spread to
the U.S.A.

Zabaione
2 servings, 439 calories per serving Zabaione can be prepared as a beverage or as a light dessert. It is custard and is made from eggs yolks, a sweet wine and sugar. It is then usually served with a form of berry and/or a cookie like biscotti, but may also be used with a fruit like bananas which will be done in this recipe. In Italian it is either pronounced as Zabaione or Zabaglione, and in French it is pronounced as Sabayon.

Watermelon Granita
4 servings, 142 calories per serving Usually I would do my best to keep the recipes varied and interesting; however, I have decided to put two recipes for watermelon so it would be useful for the day which you are making the watermelon and tomato salad. If you buy an entire watermelon that day you would very likely have some excess watermelon remaining, and so you could use that extra to make this dessert.

Workout Diary 2.0 by Shamar Prescod &
Doddy Dodson
Prologue
Six weeks ago, I began the process of getting
into shape. Now as many of you know, this
can be a very difficult process. Sometimes just
finding the time to work out isn’t enough and
you need some additional help and
motivation.
To assist with my endeavour, I decided to
recruit the services of Ramon Dodson from
Fitness With Doddy (FWD). I didn’t want to
simply do the standard – 2-3 gym sessions a
week with him. I wanted to accept some
personal responsibility. Initially, I would see
him once a week and work out on my own
twice a week. I maintained this schedule for
the first 3 weeks, and then a medical situation
forced me to stop for…..3 weeks….go figure!
I also refused to start my nutrition plan right
away. I wanted to transition gradually into the
diet to avoid a major binge. This has
happened before, so I decided to start simply
with phasing out foods containing excess
sugar and flour…but at my own pace. In the
past six weeks, I had junk food only 3 times :).
Eliminating non-nutritious foods from my
diet was not as challenging as I had
anticipated. I typically spend a lot of time in
the kitchen and successful dieting is hinged on
meal preparation….i.e. preparing one’s own
meals.
These minor adjustments to my current eating
habits, borrowed principles that my official
diet would be founded on, and implementing
them yielded almost immediate results. My
weight went from around 165lbs to 155lbs in
the initial 3 weeks. At 5’7”, that’s a pretty solid
weight to be at and I am pleased with the
progress thus far. I’m not trying to look like a
body builder, however, I am looking a lot
trimmer and there is some definition coming
in. Now, I am hoping to lose about 5 more
lbs of fat and build some muscle as I tone up.
Week 1 (Post-break)
The Diet
The full nutrition plan will not actually be
implemented until week 2 because Doddy
needs time to further compile my assessment
metrics… and we both thought it best that I
focus on adjusting to the reintroduction of
activity in week 1. Additionally, Doddy now
has to take into account that I will be
increasing my weekly activity from 2-3 days to
5 days a week as I am resuming Tae Kwon
Do classes. The dobak has been unleashed
and I have washed and ironed it!
Having already lost 10lbs, I’m hoping there
won’t be too many setbacks from here on.
Once Shamar incorporates his nutrition
plan, fat loss will continue steadily and his
performance during workouts will
improve significantly. Carb timing,
cycling and zig-zagging will help him
optimize fat loss whilst maintaining
musculature. He has made a decent start

with respect to cutting out processed food,
sugars etc. - time to crank it up a notch
and get serious now.
The Workout
Having lost 3 weeks of training due to my
health issue, Doddy decided to shock my
body back into it from the very first session
with a circuit routine. I did squats, bench
presses and deadlifts, while resisting the urge
to curse Doddy every rep. I think he gets
offended when I complete a full set without
breaking a sweat.
I was supposed to do the circuit 5 times but
was only able to complete 3 rounds. I’m a
little disappointed by that… however, I am
challenging myself to reach 5 rounds in the
next 3 weeks.
At home, I added shoulder press to the circuit
without telling Doddy. I just felt like doing it
and didn’t really think about it to be honest. I
also did a lot more stretching as I really want
to increase my overall flexibility. Additionally,
I have included 20 minutes on the spin bike
every morning.
Shamar’s fitness did not suffer a great deal
over the break. Though he was unable to
complete the workout as planned, he
made a valiant effort, and I am confident
that with consistency he will master this
workout when we revisit it.
How I’m feeling…
I’m honestly feeling good! I was a little
downtrodden from having to take time off to
recover, and I expected to re-gain weight.
Fortunately, my consistency with the nutrition
protocols kept the pounds at bay. I wasn’t
really looking at my body in the mirror or
anything…nor did I weigh myself for the
entire 6 weeks. When I weighed last Friday
and saw I dropped 10lbs, I was excited and
couldn’t wait to work out! Doddy also pointed
out I was looking trimmer at our first session
back together.
I’m not too worried about not completing the
full circuit. I was way too sweaty and spent to
even think about that in the last session. I am
however, going to work really hard at
improving my performance. What’s the point
if I don’t challenge myself?
I must add, that just being able to have a
conversation with Doddy in between sets, has
really helped me to relax. Him not judging me
each rep was also most comforting. He still
didn’t let me do an incomplete set however.
HAHAHA!
