And we're back to our regularly scheduled program.

What a nice long weekend I had, I enjoyed time with my family and my in laws. Lovely.

I didn't do a lot of exercise over the weekend, unfortunately. I tried to eat well for the most part granted Saturday I think I failed that by going to a Tarot card party and eating tons of snacks, otherwise I was good though! Yesterday I was bored, so I decided that I was going to go for a run. Well my iphone hadn't been charged all weekend and was on 20% battery life, so I decided to charge it. While charging it I did a "supreme body workout" ondemand. Wow. I am SORE today, after I did that my phone finished charging and I went for a 5 mile run/walk! Wow! It felt good to get out there! Today I'm planning on doing a toned down version of what I did yesterday and then Wednesday I will do a full force workout again. 

I'm feeling good and hoping that I can keep myself on track. I have a goal of losing 10lbs by November and I believe I can get there. I also realised this weekend that I have to really start believing in myself, I am the only person who can motivate me (Friends and Husband do help a lot though!).  If I don't believe that I can do it, and I think to myself that I am going to be "fatty mcfattypants" for the rest of my life, then I will be. I have to really have some faith in myself, which is something that I have always struggled with.  Appearance is so important to me, and I really have to learn to not focus on that so much. What I look like doesn't necessarily matter, it's what I FEEL like. If I feel beautiful, sexy and confident..then I will be beautiful, sexy and confident.  So that is my new "thing" In order to be it. Feel it.

I'll be working on that a lot and I know every day will be a struggle for me, but I have a lot of support and love. I can get there. :)

OK. That's all I have for you today. Peace!

Motivation, Inspiration and realizations.

Last night while on the treadmill I had a realization as to why I have never been able to stick to losing weight or "dieting". I realized that I was always doing it for someone else, my mother, my husband, my friends.. but not myself. I have never done it so that I can feel good. This has been why I have failed every single other time I have tried it, it's a cycle. I feel embarrassed about the way I look because I'm afraid of what other people will think of me, so I say "I'M GOING TO START A DIET! AND I'M GOING TO LOSE 50 POUNDS AND BE 100 POUNDS!" (sorry for the shouty caps so early in the morning it's for emphasis)I then go crazy with the first week of the diet, maybe even the first month. I work out like crazy. I restrict myself to certain foods because they are not "in the diet"  so after the first month, I start to get depressed that it's not happening faster and that I haven't lost all 50 pounds. I then start slowly eatin

Krystale VS. Evil weight loss monitor thingymajig

So, we all know the thingymajig that I am talking about. That little thing with the handles that they use at the gym to tell your BMI and body fat percentage. It.is.evil. Pure evil. I had bought one awhile back (before I started with MFP) thinking "This will be so great! I will be able to see my BMI go way down! woohoo!"  Yeah. A month into I started getting depressed. Two months into it I could barely look at that thing without wanting to throw it out the window. Hard. I know that it was my fault (I wasn't counting calories and I wasn't putting the effort into my weight loss ), I expected magic results just because I bought this little contraption.  It wasn't happening and I was getting so discouraged, I threw the thing in a drawer and forgot about it. I was always on the "high-very high" side.  This morning as I was getting ready for work I noticed it in the drawer and I thought "hm. It has been awhile, let's see what it is now.." Mind

It's a new week!

I haven't really been writing lately, I'm finding it hard to stay in the groove.  I write when I'm doing well because of course I have good things to write about. I try to write when I'm not doing so well and usually end up deleting the post 4 times before just quitting all together. Here is my struggle: I cannot for the life of me stay with this running thing. I am having the hardest time staying motivated to go out and run! It's beautiful out in the morning, I can get up at 5am and have my run done by 6, get home and get my day started. I just have such a hard time actually getting up and getting out there.  I know it's a matter of having that push, I just, I'm not even really sure why I can't. Then if I don't get up, I think that I'll be able to get out and go for a run during the day, well with my new workload, that doesn't happen either.  I've been trying to do a lot of workouts I found on Pinterest because those can be done quickl
