In The Mind of Kerstin

Yesterday was a good day at the gym. It started off by having my bodyfat checked! I’ve lost 4.1% in a month! So now i’m officially under 20%! That had me pumped and ready to go. Then we hit Shoulders & Arms which is my favorite day of the week! I increased weights on most of my exercises! So again that was a good thing. After weights Wendy and I hit a new cardio session on the elliptical. I’m not a huge fan of the ellipitcal because i always feel like I tire to easy because I tend to get going to fast. This was a 30 minutes session that switched things up every few minutes. Needless to say I didn’t think I was going to make it. Luckily I made it thru the 30 minutes and I was drenched and tired! After I got home, I was pumped! I was like a mad woman with energy! Can’t wait to hit that cardio session again!

WOW!! When i weighed this morning, i was excited…..i made it into the 120’s! Today starts 9 weeks of sticking with this and it is rewarding! I’ve lost 13 lbs and it feels wonderful. I’m starting to get rude remarks from people close to me. I guess that’s a good thing. If they want to worry about me and complain about their weight, i guess they should get off their butts and do something!

Let me first start off by saying that i had a wonderful 1 yr anniversary! The hubby and I went down to Ouray, Colorado which was wonderful. There are a ton of hiking trails and 4 wheeling trails. Everywhere we looked there were waterfalls, it was AMAZING! That was our first visit and we are already to book another trip back.

So after 3 days of not being in my normal workout and eating routine….it showed this morning on the scale. I gained 2 lbs since Friday. But i’m totally ok with that! That just means I need to work extra hard to shed those couple of pounds. I had great food and drinks this weekend. From Beef Wellington, tuscan garlic chicken, pizza burger, chocolate chip martini, a bottle of white zin…lol I guess that 2lbs isn’t bad since it could’ve been a whole lot worse. I expected some type of weight gain so i’m really not bummed about it at all. After all we were celebrating

I am ready to get back into the gym though. I never thought I would be the type of person who would miss working out, but I am. (Which isn’t a bad thing) I guess when I’m seeing positive improvements it is a HUGE motivater!

Thanks to everyone who wished me a good anniversary as well
