In The Mind of Kerstin

First off thank you goes out to all of you who were wondering what happened to me I’m still here….

It’s now time for a much needed update! I actually found out the weekend before Thanksgiving that I was pregnant.  Also that week i had a nasty cold that kept me out of the gym. Then a week later it was off to Brekenridge when my hubby’s folks came out to visit. I was good and didn’t go skiing. But i def wasn’t giving up the snowmobile tour. With the holiday’s i stayed out of the gym with the hopes of making it back after the new year. Well it’s now March and i’m still out of the gym. I’m taking this pregnancy easy and know that the gym will be there for me afterwards. I’m currently in my 20th week and because i was working out and eating healthy before i have gained about 8 lbs. Not bad…i think So as much as I miss the gym i’ve decided to take it easy and really enjoy being pregnant along with a possible complication that i will find out if i have tomorrow at the dr appt.

I will continue to get back into the gym and work hard losing baby weight once my little guy gets here. I’m due around July 27th.

 I have been so bad with checking this account, but i need to keep up with ya’ll and keep up that encouragement. I will be checking this more often now…promise.

I hope everyone is still sticking to their goals and making progress

 This is me at 12 weeks

 16 weeks

 Here’s the baby bump @ 20 weeks

I’m wanting to do a side by side view of my progress pictures. Unfortunately my photo editing program has decided to quit working!

Can anyone help me do this or direct me to someplace to start? I don’t want to buy new software because mine is fairly new…i’m not all that computer-literate. But i did uninstall the software and reinstall it…same thing. It’s not responding. I looked online there are no updates so I’m not sure what’s wrong.

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
