The Fixer Upper star is gaining strength and losing weight with help from his little ones.
Training for a marathon has given Chip Gaines some serious, well, gains. The Fixer Upper star is just one month away from completing his first-ever marathon, the Silo District Marathon in Waco, Texas. And he’s sharing his new fitness goal (and weight loss!) on Instagram.

In a photo posted to the Gaines family’s @magnolia account, a beaming, fist-pumping Chip is racing along a trail. Just last month, the 43-year-old father of four (and soon-to-be five!) talked to Runner’s World about how running has changed him physically and mentally.
“I’m down around 10 pounds!” he said in the interview. “And the fact that I’m not sucking wind at mile 1 is probably a pretty good sign, too.”
Gaines explained that he’s sacrificed some sleep during his grueling training schedule, but his family has been the ultimate support system. In one adorable post he shared in January, Chip showed his followers the pre-run snacks and motivational notes his little ones prepared for him.

“It’s about making a commitment and sticking to it no matter what,” he wrote. “And trust me, that ‘no matter what’ part is a real kick in the pants…especially at five o’clock in the morning. But my family is so supportive of this whole thing—my kids are excited for me when I leave on a long run, and they can’t wait to ask me how it went when I get back. If anything, they’re helping me hold myself accountable.”
And while his newfound love of running is changing his looks, the TV star’s natural confidence has remained solid. Last May, he talked about his pre-weight loss “dad bod” in the summer issue of The Magnolia Journal.
“At any given moment, there’s a little voice in my head . . . that’s constantly telling me, ‘Way to go, Chip, that was so funny!’ and ‘Hey, Chip, you look good in that size medium T-shirt!’ A few times [it] has even told me my dad bod is ‘rockin.’”

JOHANNESBURG – The no-confidence vote against Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Athol Trollip will take place on Tuesday.
Both the UDM and the EFF want the DA’s Trollip out of office.
The EFF vowed to punish Trollip for his party’s stance on land expropriation without compensation, which the DA does not support.
The UDM claims a coalition government with the DA is no longer a workable arrangement.
The same motion brought two weeks ago failed to get off the ground.

When South African Ndebele artist Esther Mahlangu began painting at the tender age of 10, she never thought that she would get to travel the world just by doing something that she loved.
Mahlangu received an honorary doctorate from the University of Johannesburg on Monday evening.
“I am so grateful to the university management for the gifts given to me today. What they have done for me, they must do for others.”

“If heaven was within reach, I would fly. I never thought that painting would work out so well. I got to travel the world just by doing something that I did out of love,” she added.
She was accompanied by members of her community, clad in traditional regalia.
Mahlangu, whose full names are Esther Nikwambi, was born in Middelburg, Mpumalanga in 1935.
In an interview with News24 in September, shortly after she had been honoured with a mural in New York, the 82-year-old said her journey with her love for her culture and Ndebele artwork began when she was 10 years old, when she used to watch her mother and grandmother painting the outside walls of their home.

She longed to join them and when the pair took a break from painting, she would steal the paint and try her luck. But, as soon as they returned, she would be out of sight.
“They always said: ‘Don’t ever do that again, you are ruining things,'” she told News24.
The following day Mahlangu would do it again, and again she faced the wrath of her matriarchs.
Eventually, her mother and grandmother gave up and allocated Mahlangu a small space on the wall, which was away from the public, where she could practice drawing Ndebele patterns.
“The next day, I would go there, sit on a tin and take chicken feathers and paint, paint and paint.”
Mahlangu added that her mother and grandmother inspected her work daily.
“Eventually they told me that my work was impressive and they called me to paint the front of the house, and I never looked back until I got married. In my culture, they used to say when you get married, you have to paint your first house yourself.”
On Monday evening, the university’s vice-chancellor and principal Professor Tshilidzi Marwala said the university recognised Mahlangu’s legacy as a cultural entrepreneur who skilfully negotiated local and global worlds as an educator.
“As a visionary individual, she traversed what to others are insurmountable political barriers. In the late 1980s, when KwaNdebele and Moutse region erupted in anti-apartheid violence, she [broke] down barriers in her own way.
“During the time she was invited to participate in the groundbreaking Magiciens de la Terre exhibition, a significant achievement for a black female artist at the time.
“The curators asked her to paint the walls of a life-size replica of her Mthambothini home for the exhibition…she would take the language of Ndebele art to the world.”
Marwala added that, in order to ensure the survival of the Ndebele arts, Mahlangu taught young people at her home.
“She also shares her expertise via a project that aims to document Southern African visual culture as expression of a diversity of inherited local knowledge systems that date back to before the colonisation of Southern Africa.”
“Esther Mahlangu is a living example of how authentic African knowledge systems can be articulated meaningfully and sustainably.
“In her we have an icon worthy of being looked upon to by the next generation of creatives,” Marwala said.
He said the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture was honoured to confer the degree of Philosophiae Doctor Honoris Causa upon Mahlangu.

Cape Town – It will go down as one of the great nights in South African sprinting as Akani Simbine and Henricho Bruintjies claimed gold and silver, respectively, in the 100m at the Commonwealth Games on Monday.
Simbine was expected to finish on the podium, but Bruintjies was a complete outsider.
The 24-year-old Simbine finished strongest and won comfortably in the end, but the race itself is a bit of a blur for him.
“I literally only really remember from the 60m mark,” Simbine told the Team SA website.
“I got out and didn’t see anyone, then I saw myself move [on the stadium television screens] and then I didn’t see anyone else move and said, ‘I actually just won this race’.
“It’s just an amazing feeling to come here for my country and be able to do this.
“Thanks to my country, my coach and my family.”
It is Simbine’s first gold medal at a major championship and undoubtedly the highlight of his career, but he is not done yet.
South Africa – with Simbine and Bruintjies included – will also line up in the 4x100m relay and with Monday night’s result still fresh, they will be backing themselves.
“I’m going home with two golds for sure,” added Simbine.
“This is such a great achievement to get not one but two SA sprinters on to a podium at an event like this, something to really celebrate.
“I’m just hoping that this inspires the youngsters back home to get out and come to training in the belief that they can get to the stage where we are.”
