Awesome hair and muffin top camouflage

June 3, 2010

Awesome hair and muffin top camouflage

First, awesome hair:

Greatbighair 

Love. This. Hair. Another shot from the side:

More hair 

You get this from sleeping on it, and then using Bumble&Bumble Sumotech.

Next up: muffin top camouflage for runners with mid-drift chubbage:

Muffincamo 

The Lucy Breakthru Singlet.

Granted, I bought mine just a shade roomier than the one sported by the 72-pound model, but come ON! How adorable am I? In yellow no less.

When I am running outside, in public view, I don't want every ripple of ye olde midsection on display for the gawkers, and yet there's no way in hell I'm wearing anything with a sleeve. 

Mama needs coolness when she runs.

And for her girls to stay firmly in place.

And to not pass out before Mile 2.

That's what I'm saying to you.

    I love the hair too! Beautiful. I like the top better on you than the model! You look fabulous and I know you’ve put a lot of hard work in to look so great! One of my friends at WW is a runner, also and she is preparing for a marathon (her 2nd baby is only 3 months old)…I understand running can be addictive. Great job!

    Oh, how I covet the hair you and your daughter share. I’ve cut mine the same way three times in my life, I love it, but I’ve had to suck it up and realize that I don’t have the right texture. πŸ™ The yellow is magic, just MAGIC. πŸ™‚

    Totally proud of you! So, I’m 4 weeks into this running thing, and I still really hate it, but I have to admit that it is working. But, seriously, it is pure evil getting through the first 2.5 miles. The next 2 miles are much better, but the first couple? Just about want to die. Do they get ANY easier, eventually? Wish I could wear yellow — you look too cool!

    Cathy,
    Been reading your “my best life” postings. Came across this photo and just have to say how fantastic you are looking. I hope you can see how thin and trim your legs look. Amazing! Your hips have slimmed down also, yellow looks great on you. But I hope you still have the orange sweatshirt , just save it for a cold comfy morning in January.
    Great job!
