So, I’m a little late with this and I’m keeping it short. I’m down 11.5 pounds as of this past Saturday and started week 6 of C25K this morning. Still working out daily and eating well mostly … though, I did indulge a little on Easter Day. However, though I enjoyed some mac and cheese, a little ham, and candied yams, I also filled half my plate with salad, had white meat turkey, passed on the bread and stuffing and practiced portion control. I didn’t stuff myself at all and I didn’t have seconds. Ummm … and I did have a little bit of dessert too *sheepish grin*. BUT, it was the lightest thing there and it was only about 3-4 spoonfuls. I resisted the sweet potato pie (oh how I love thee), coconut cake, pound cake and ice cream! Oh, and I started out the day with a green smoothie … learning of the day: NutriBullet does NOT do well with frozen greens :(. So, I bought a big bag of fresh kale after work today. Should have taken a pic … it’s GINORMOUS!!
Okay, yeah … short. Here’s day 36-43 in pics!! Oh, and captions ;).
- Day 36: C25K Week 5/Day 1 (5.2 and 5.5 mph runs). Despite an allergy attack that caused some serious congestion, got it done.
- Day 37: Decided not to take another sweaty face pic … plus, I only did Abs of Steel :).
- Day 38: C25K Week 5/Day 2 (5.2 mph runs). Worked out late, but Sudafed had kicked in and I pushed through w/tissues at the ready!
- Day 39: Abs of Steel & LB Kettlebell Full Body Blast (23 min total). Tried chia seeds for the first time! Added some blueberries to this before I ate it though!!
- Day 40: C25K Week 5/Day 3 (5.2 mph run).
- Days 41 and 42: self-explanatory ;).

Day 43: C25K Week 6/Day 1 (5.5 mph run intervals). Abs are coming in … still got a ways to go, but seeing real progress.
I’ll be back in the next day or two with details of the hair above and to share a recap of the Wonder Curl launch party that I attended this weekend!! She debuted her two new products, a Cleansing Clay Mask and a Deep Conditioner that round-out her line of products!! Okay … if you just can’t wait, check out these recaps by A Hair Story and Radiant Brown Beauty, who both attended the event with me and are on top of it ;)!!
