Kris' journey to finding abs

After a year long absence I have returned!

A little over a year ago, a stray my boyfriend had found ended up pregnant and gave birth in the litter box while he was at work. Not knowing what to do, he let me take them and I raised them into healthy little monsters.

So now I have three cats -- Spencer (the feral momma), and the psycho twins Hollyhock and Irusan. I love them all to death and do not regret fostering them/keeping them even though I had no intentions of having more than a single cat. I got a happy cat family instead!

After the whole kitty debacle, I ended up deciding to go back to school which was a tough decision seeing as I’m still paying off loans from when I first went to school.

No regrets. I started in January and I’m loving the program.

And I don’t mean because you don’t work for it, I mean because your body is just not built like it.

I always thought I’d have a waist if I lost enough weight, but here I am at 123 lbs and  still have no waist. I’m just straight in the body. I’m also not sure I’ll ever have nice abs. I’m not sure I could lose enough body fat for that and still be healthy. I also don’t think I’d be able to handle losing my boobs in order to have abs ahahaha...

Last week: 125.6 lbs

This week: 123.6 lbs

Loss/Gain: -2 lbs

I didn’t do any intense cardio this week. I just walked. I actually really enjoy walking and it helps so much with my mental state. I also didn’t track my food. I went for a more natural approach of ‘If I’m hungry, I’ll eat.’ That did however, lead to 1am tacos one night lol

I’m gonna go back to tracking this week and incorporate more intense cardio back into my routine.

I know it’s not the 31st but I that is the number from Sunday. I just forgot to post and then got busy..

I didn’t get much exercise in last week, unfortunately. I lot of things came which ate up almost all my free time. I mean, they were fun things at least lol My boyfriend got back in town from visiting his family so we spent monday and tuesday evening together. My friend and I went out for dinner at this awesome vegan place on Sunday and then went for a walk in the park. Wednesday I worked late. Thursday was my only day off and I may or may not have spent it being a potato. Okay, okay, in my defence I did go walk the boardwalk with my friend and her brother. And then Friday and Saturday I worked. And Saturday night I was sick. Soooo great times!

This week is starting off a similar way too... But I love actually going out and doing things with friends! I never really got to do that before.

Last week: 124.8 lbs

Loss/Gain: -1 lb

I started my week strong with lots of exercise and I’m proud to say I ate very well all week with yesterday as the only exception.

I’m so happy I can eat again! I feel like I have energy to do everything now! I’m still getting acid reflux when I eat several foods, but at least I’m not in horrible pain anymore.

Sunday I walked the boardwalk twice (2+ hours of walking), yesterday I walked downtown with my sister playing Pokemon Go (1 hour of walking), and this morning I started my day with 23 minutes of tae bo.

So I guess I should share a progress picture.
