I’m Kristen. Welcome to All In My Twenties, my place to pour my little heart out on the daily!! This is the world just as I see it. Why dont you kick up your feet and stay awhile?!
Hello Lovies!
Its "Inspire Me - Healthy" Thursday so lets cut right to the chase.
1. Sticking to my eating plan is HARD. Especially when my boyfriend LOVES eating yummy fattening food all weekend.
2. I will give up the good food but I will NOT give up Vodka. Sorry but Im NOT sorry.
My BF is here to stay.
3. Though the body is a SLOW work in progress its happening so Im gonna keep on keepin on!
Week 4's Progress:
Weight Loss: 1 measly LB
Total Weight Loss: 10 LBS and that right there makes this girl HAPPY!!
Biggest Success This Week: I have been working out HARD CORE.
M-F every day and Im really seeing the difference in my body!
My legs and arms are TONING up (slowly) and this is making me happy!
So though the scale didnt show much progress I feel my body has!
Last Week to this week:
Im not sure if its the lighting or just the comparison but I feel like I look smaller last week yet I really wasnt!
Now my back side seems to show a little more progress!
AKA my ass is gettin smaller!!
Week One to NOW
10LBs DOWN!!!!
Back side!
There you have it for this week!!
I feel these last two weeks have been slow which is why I stepped up the working out!
Ive been alternating the 30 Day Shred and The Fat Burning Metabolism Boost Jillian Michaels videos!
They are legit and have been kicking my ass into shape like whoa!!
And just to give us all a little more inspiration...
LADIES IF THEY CAN DO IT, WE CAN!!!
Girlfriend is posting her BEFORE pics!!!

ReplyDeleteGood for you girl!! You're doing awesome! I could never give up wine so I feel your pain...I'd rather drink my calories! All of those pics are really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYour arms and face look so thin! Get it, girl. I love this linkup. I had posted some weight loss goal stuff yesterday, so I'm kind of a cheater-linker-uper.
ReplyDeleteI hope oyu have a great week!!
10 lbs is awesome!!
You are looking awesome! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend is not giving up vodka either. But I do drink some vodka, water and crystal light or milo. Lower calories. And delish and I can totally tell you've lost weight. I need some of your ambition. Keep on keeping on, girlie!
ReplyDeleteGo girl!!! 10 lbs is a HUGE success!!! You look amazing!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo on 10 lbs lost! That is great progress! You are doing a great job!!
ReplyDeleteTeri @ Cut the Crap
WOOT WOOT G-G-G-G-GET IT GIRL!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I fully support you not breaking up with your best friend, there are too many memories there right?!!?
Not to be cheesy, but I'm proud of your work at the gym. It's hard getting back into shape and super glad you're keeping at it. Feeling good is so awesome!
GO KRISTEN GO KRISTEN GO KRISTEN!
xoxo
DANG girl, that's great!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on the vodka (and wine as well)...I'll step up the diet and work outs before I ever give up my booze. You have to allow yourself to live a little.
I was considering not being your "friend/follower" when you said that you lost 10 lbs...but then I read that you would not give up Vodka, and I decided that you are my kinda girl (except my obsession is Jager). So, I guess that means I am happy for you losing weight. haha
ReplyDeleteFor real though, GREAT JOB. :)

Kristen you can def see a difference! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo good job!! Ten pounds is awesome!
ReplyDeletePlus I love that you're still drinking! Awesome :)
wow! this is AMAZING! i have made ZERO progress. all of battles are to keep my blood sugars perfect, but now that i've somewhat found a way to manage that, maybe I can try more "clean", low fat protein, and at least drink tons more water. i know i am dehydrated as hell. good for you, girl! keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO 10lbs is a great accomplishment! And I can see the toning for sure.
ReplyDeleteMan... I need to get on that 30 days shred. I have it and it sits there. I have ZERO motivation! You are doing great though!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great girl. Good job on the working out...those lbs will come off later but right now you're building muscle mass! xoxo :)
ReplyDeleteyou're looking awesome, Kristen! 10 pounds is HUGE! how amazing have you been feeling & have you done any shopping? I bet your close aren't fitting quite the same as before :)
ReplyDeleteHey girl, HEY!!! Look.at.YOU! Totally see a difference, and I admire that commitment with M-F Jillian sessions - girl is a hard ass!
ReplyDeleteI can see it in your face, too! You go, girlfriend!

ReplyDeleteCongrats girl! 10 lbs is a huge milestone! You're definitely inspiring me to keep up my ww hard work too. I sacrifice points for vodka too, glad I'm not the only one with that priority!
ReplyDeletei can totally see a difference in you - keep up the great work!!
ReplyDeletei can't believe some of those women's before and afters - they look AMAZING!! inspiration hands down, thanks!!
Girl...you look great! Totally kicking some ass! Don't worry, I haven't given up my tequila either. That's why Bethany Frankel invented Skinny girl Margaritas, right?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on hitting a loss of 10 pounds! You are doing an amazing job of sticking to your meal plan, it's very inspiring! I'm still working on the whole self control thing. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYou rock! I'm so with you on keeping the vodka! I found a healthier alternative to my normal sugary Malibu and Coke, I now drink vodka tonics with lime yum! Good job on your weight loss, ten pounds is a lot!
ReplyDeleteXo

I CAN SO SEE the difference with your 10 lbs! :) Isnt that awesome when you start to SEEEEEE it! :) Great job girl! :)
ReplyDeleteyou are a rockstar, I can see the difference.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on not giving up the alcohol.. *cheers*
HAPPY THURSDAY
You are doing awesome girl, keep it up! I am starting with you all next week. Keeping yourself accountable is key to success on WW.
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteYou inspired me to join WW again, and you are keeping me going! Love your link up :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your progress!! you look amazing. I dont have a blog, but I read a lot of them and love how open and honest you always are. I've been going through my own weight loss battle and it seems that no matter what I do and do or dont eat. I keep gaining weight. If I could lose 10 lbs in a month I'd probably take out an ad in the newspaper (people dont really read those things that much anymore anyways);)
ReplyDeleteI've looked at the Weight Watcher's site, but I just can't pull the trigger. One of my friends is a nutritionist and I'm thinking about sitting down with her professionally, but it makes me feel like such a failure to have to ask for help, ya know?
Y'all's Inspire Me posts always give me such great movtivation that it's not going to happen overnight. I will have to cry some more and have down days before I see progress. Thank you for your blog and your posts, and keep rockin that hot new bod!! :)
Whooopppp Whooppp!!!! Congrats girly!!
ReplyDeleteKK, looking good! I can definitely tell.
ReplyDeleteKK, looking good! I can definitely tell.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found this link up!! What an amazing way to motivate & inspire us to keep going!! I am at the gym as well,I've lost pounds but I've not lost the inches yet. I was told by my trainer that you'll tone first and then drop the weight. don't get discouraged - You can see a difference in your before & now pics! I am no happy to see & hear everyone who is getting healthy! You girls are beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one that likes to drink...except I don't do vodka or any liquor. I can't stop myself. I like pre measured servings of beer.
ReplyDeleteI love the before and after pics. Those are really inspiring!
You look great!! Awesome job girl!! Keep up the hard work :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGirl! You look amazing!!!! Way to go!
ReplyDelete10 pounds is AWESOME!! Congrats and you look great. My husband wants to pig out on junk food on the weekends too and it really screws my diet up every single weekend!! I was so much thinner when I was single...and now I know why!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for doing this link-up! I've lost 8 pounds so far and hope to continue linking-up and following everyone else's progress! You and Raven have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteUgh. I've totally fallen off of my routine, but I'm going to start back up tomorrow. Sometimes I get too busy and then don't make time to work out. :(
ReplyDeleteThose before/after pics are really inspiring though! I can't wait to get toned! I haven't even been keeping track of how many pounds I'm losing, but I can tell I'm losing inches!
Love that you and Raven are doing this. As soon as I'm ready to stop eating like crap/drinking beer every night I'll jump on board too...
ReplyDeleteGet get girl!!!! Great job! I can tell a difference in your abs, they are looking more defined. Keep up the great work! Are you finding the weekends to be easier or still kind of hard?
ReplyDeleteYou are such an inspiration .. Thank you so much for doing this and giving me the confidence to show all to the world .. I have to admit, my eyes got HUGE when I got a notification that you commented my post! :) I've been following your blog for over a year now & I honestly felt as though I was getting tweeted by a celeb! :) haha ..
ReplyDeleteholy smokes sister you are lookin FABULOUS! I need to get in on this. I feel like a sea cow.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 10 pound and I feel you I can't quite bring myself to give up drinking!
ReplyDeleteI hope you girls are still doing this when it's time for me to lose this baby weight! SO inspiring! Congrats on TEN POUNDS!!! You can totally see your hard work paying off! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the inspiring pics, I'm currently 155 and I love seeing the pic of the girl at 155 and then 125! That is totally my goal weight and I didn't do so well this past week :( but will keep on trying! Lol good job even though your boyfriend is tempting you with bad food! Oh and congrats with losing 10 lbs, that is amazing!!
