Eleven, exercise and enchiladas

I went to the gym today for the first time since Wednesday. I have had a cold and have been waiting out the congestion. The good news is I was as fit as I was last week (I fear deconditioning!) and I have now lost 11kilos. In honour of this milestone being met, I did 4.4km on the treadmill and ran at least half of it. I have been trying to turn myself into a runner using the Couch to 5k training program. I really don't think I was born to run (sorry, Bruce). My feet are very flat and anything faster than a shuffle makes my shins scream. Still, I am getting there.

Dinner was truly great- sweet potato, corn and blackbean enchiladas, served with avocado, mixed greens from my garden and garnished with coriander, also from the 'vegie pot patch'. Delish.

  1. Good on you - 11kg is a lot! Know what you mean about deconditioning - after so much hard work it can be frustrating to get sick and lose fitness. Great looking enchiladas too!

  2. Thanks for the support, Lanie. Yes, I'm starting to feel like I'm actually achieving on the weight loss front. Fingers crossed the chest infection is gone for good! Thanks for stopping by

  3. Great job on the 11 kg! Don't worry about deconditioning in 5 days - it doesn't happen that fast. :D
