Yes, another Saturday gym day! It's so weird on Saturday! I do like Sunday better for my weekend day. But! I woke up this morning and just plain didn't have the energy or desire to run. But I wanted to get something in. And I did!
I'm pretty excited because I'm really seeing changes in my body. I'm for sure losing fat and I'm for sure gaining muscle. Today I thought I could actually kinda see a quad muscle in the mirror. But, no, I did not stand there and flex to test it out. I'm not THAT GUY. Yet!
I've also been able to do my bicep curls with 15 pound weights, all three sets. I've been working on that. Also, I've gone from body weight squats and curtsy lunges to using a 13 pound kettle bell. So lots of progress which is really motivating.
I'm also down to 131.6 pounds, which is super exciting. But I'm learning it is true that weight loss is 80% kitchen, 20% exercise. Which is kinda sad! But having more muscle mass should allow me to eat more calories because muscle burns more than fat. I won't be able to have a lot more, but more!
I'm making a super healthy dinner tonight - partially to offset my unhealthy (but totally awesome!) dinner last night!
Oh, also, I did walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes at a 9% incline.

Wow. All of this is very good news for you! Congratulations on all of it! The 80/20 business is so true which is sad because I like to eat. But I'm going to make an effort during March here and see what I can accomplish.
I'm very proud of you, Runnergirl!
