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 ;)!!

Hey Gurl. I havent been on here in a while cause Im so used to Facebook and Instagram. But I brought a Ninja for my smoothies. It was on sale for 79.00 at bed bath and beyond and I had a 20% coupon it came to $65.00 . I works well with veggies I can barely taste them . I’ve been incorporating spinning in my workout reg. I booty is too big for the seat and my inner thigh is brused . but it was a great cardio workout.
I was going to attend the event but my parents came down to visit for Easter.

But Michelle, you got a NutriBullet, right? Tiffany got a Ninja. I watched a YouTube video demoing both and the NutriBullet out-performed the Ninja. Someone wrote the same thing on one of my IG pics. She said she put the Ninja away after she got the NB. Sorry Tiffany!!
And, in regard to the greens … I think cuz it’s meant to use fresh greens and the frozen are heavy and dense? I may need to blend them with water first, then add the other stuff?
