And in conclusion....

Apparently the last time I posted was the beginning of the fitness challenge.  Perhaps ironically, today is the final day.  I've lost weight...10 lbs (well, .2 ounces away from 10lbs, how irritating is that?).  About 5lbs/month which is, I know, the safe way to lose weight.  It's also slow.  And painstaking.

In the midst of the challenge I did a Whole30, where I cut out dairy (black coffee, what?), sugar, and all processed carbs.  Basically I ate protein, produce and a handful of almonds here and there.  And it didn't kill me.  I discovered some new recipes and we tend to continue to eat along those lines.  I'm back to having cream in my coffee and Gouda with my apples, but for the most part we're all about produce these days.

We got a new dog, who unlike Lucy demands being walked every day of her life.  It's been good for me, the last thing I want to do when I get home after working a full day and picking up the kiddo is exercise, but we do it.

The kiddo and I started Couch to 5K today.  I've done it before but have been off my running game for awhile.  She wants to build her stamina for soccer, so this seemed like a good thing for both of us.  And basically she's a drill sergeant so I won't be able to slack off.  We're planning to run the Boston Color Run in July together.  What better way to run a 5K than to get covered in spray paint?

We've got some exciting stuff happening right now, but I fear writing it down because things aren't finalized so I won't say anything quite yet.  You'll just have to trust me...it's good stuff and blog-worthy...in time. ;)
