Day 1 of 30

Kristin — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 06:17:28 +0000

Yesterday I purchased this DVD:

I have heard rave reviews about it. While I’m not trying to lose 20 pounds I really wanted something that I could do at home every day becuase lately, I’ve been slacking.

I haven’t gone to the gym in over a month. Spinning fell by the wayside once it got super crowded. Rumor has it its not anymore but now I’m just not in the spirit, plus my schedule has gotten hectic.

Anyway, because of all that I bought the DVD (Barnes and Nobles, 10$). After day one I can already tell you it’s going to be the best 10 dollars I’ve ever spent! Jillian is no joke. The workout was tough. Not too tough, but tough enough to leave my legs shaky and my arms weak! It felt so good!

So, my muffin tops should be outta here in 30 days! Which is good because I only have 62 days until the wedding!!!! Yikes! But im going to be faithful. I’m going to take the DVD to Seattle even and do it on the computer. I enjoy it and for 20 minutes, I can deal with my brother laughing and mocking me!

I highly recommend the DVD after day one. I’ll keep you updated and by day 30 I’ll let you know if it really works!

Seeing the light!

This is so exciting! over the past few days I’ve been noticing a lot of changes in my body! It is so exciting! First of all, the other day, I realized that my thighs no longer touch! You can see between them EASILY! I’m so happy about this because near the end of my time overseas they started to touch and havent’ stopped until now! It’s wonderful.

Also, my body has pretty much alwasy looked like this : [ ] but now, it looks like this : ) ( !!!!

I’m so happy about this because I feel like my workouts are finally paying off! It’s great!

Now to keep it up and keep those changes coming…I cannot wait for my abs to make their appearance!

Grazing like a Cow

Kristin — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 05:42:24 +0000

That’s all I did today. Not a single real meal, I just grazed. Mostly on fruits but a lot of crackers and pretzels too. I drank a lot of water at work. Which is good. I just didn’t have time, nor the appitite for a real meal. although now that it’s 1240 at night I’m starving and could eat a huge meal!

I woke up a little earlier than I would have normally just to do an ab workout. And I did it! I was so proud of myself. I didn’t get to do anything at the gym because I went straight to work after my class and then stayed late at work so I got home after midnight.

I feel pretty good about how this is going. But now look, I probably just jinxed myself huh?!

But, i’m going to Seattle in 50 days and Getting married in 193, I HAVE to keep this up!

Intervals will be the end of me

Kristin — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:19:45 +0000

So tonight I did intervals in spinning for an HOUR! It was painful! So good, but so awful. Our spinning instructor is serious! I love her though, she’s always motivating and she’s just so dang skinny that i watch her and motivate myself!!

today I ate healthy too! I’m so proud of myself!! I’m doing good!!

Eat That!

Kristin — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 06:09:49 +0000

Fat, go ahead and eat your heart out…on YOURSELF! Because oh yes, that’s right, I made it to the gym this morning. FIRST THING. okay so it was 945 BUT still I went to the gym. Unlike SOME people! Anyway, I’m going to keep it up, it’s great knowing that my first day of being set on doing it, I did it, even though I SO wanted to stay in my bed, relaxing and enjoying my day off of school!!

I did 30 minutes on the EFX, aka robo cop. It’s one that works your arms too. I did 10 minutes normal, 5 minutes back, 10 minutes normal 5 minutes back and then 5 minutes sprinting. I went 5 minutes over my alloted time slot, but no one else was there so oh well! I then went and did 2 sets of 30 crunches. followed by 2 sets of 5 (shut up i will get better) of these things that will be the death of me. (I’m sure they have some technical workout name but I sure don’t know it. and then a round of 2 sets of 20 on each different weight machine.

My workout ended of me sitting on the bike for 10 minutes peddling away looking at a VS secret magazine totally wishing I had their abs!

Seriously, by August 3, I want these abs.

Not to mention, I want that swimsuit for the honeymoon…

“she wore an itty bitty teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini…” yup. I need it.

Dear Hot Body

I miss you. We’ve been at odds for quite some time now. But I’ve reached the 6.5 month mark from when I’ll be getting married and I have realized I do not want to be married in this body.

I’ve broken you in easy with just a couple spinning classes, but no more going easy. Prepare yourself because I will not cave to your lazyness anymore. I’ve done that too many times, but now it’s coming down to August 3 and I refuse to have muffin tops on my wedding day. Plus, I think we’re going somewhere warm which requires a bikini and I want to look SMOKIN hot. So prepare yourself, this is what’s coming your way…

Sunday: Ab workout with possible spinning class depending on work schedule.

Monday: 30 minutes cardio, 30 minutes weights

Tuesday: Spinning and Abs

Wednesday: Strength training and flexability

Thursday: Spinning and Abs

Friday: 30 minutes Cardio, 30 minutes weights

Saturday: Rest and relax and stretching

So prepare yourself. Because i’m starting today.

Love,

Your Soon to be Hot Self.

my post thanksgiving weigh-in

Kristin — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:12:50 +0000

i made it through thanksgiving. AND LOST WEIGHT! whatttttt!!! I’m suprised at myself with this one, because first of all, i havent worked out in weeks, i’ve eaten anything i’ve felt like eating, and haven’t been drinking much water! but apparently it’s okay because i weighed 126 when i got on the scale today! woooottttt wootttt! yes this is great.

today, i also got 3 skinny comments “you’re tiny!” “those scrub pants look huge on you” and “have you lost weight because you are looking great!” yes. my ego was boosted!

maybe this is my new workout plan?!! lol

still on it!

Kristin — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 04:04:06 +0000

i promise! i haven’t given up!

thanksgiving break has been rough, but i’m pretty sure i didn’t gain any weight over the break.

last night i woke up with horrible stomach cramps and stuff and ended up loosing all my food from the day during the night so i guess thats one way to not gain weight! it was miserable. i slept all day today and only had some humus and pita breads at the basket ball game.

my exercise only consisted of walking the mall for 10 hours on friday. sad huh. other than that i’ve done some air-hockey but thats it. i’m a total slacker and i know it. i’ll weigh in this week since i didnt due to drivin down here this past week.

anyway, i’m coiming back strong since we only have one month left!!!!!!

i must have given up.

Kristin — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:23:03 +0000

i dont know what is wrong with me. but i have not exercised all week. not since my last post of a workout. how sad is that?! things just keep coming up that seem more important. or i feel sick, like i have the last few days and i have had zero energy to do any exercise either. it’s horrible. and now thanksgiving is 3 days away and i’m pretty sure that my entire goal is going to hell.

i’m going to do some sit ups today because right now i just really really want to get my abs in shape because they are my worst area. my legs are toned good, my butt is great, my arms are pretty good, but my abs are laking a LOT.

anyway. i just finished eating some granola with milk and a glass of orange juice with medium pulp. it was awesome because i was hungry and it filled me up and it lasts a long time. i’m trying so hard to eat healthy.

Weighing in.

Kristin — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:49:03 +0000

I wish I didn’t have to. I didnt lose anything. In fact I gained. The scale was flexing between 128-130 depending on if i shifted at all. So I’ll say that I’m 130 since that is only fair. But I can tell that I’m getting more toned so I think I’m okay with this. Also, the whole goal for me was not so much to lose the weight as to get in shape and be motivated and have someone to talk to and keep me in check.

thats that.

Breakfast: spinach salad with lime juice, red pepper bits and salt

Lunch: fake chicken salad sandwich, carrot sticks, and a pina colada fuze drink

Supper: jalepeno pretzel, 1/2 veggie burger sandwich, spinach salad and baked beans.

I drank 2 liters of water today.

No exercise.

ugh.
