Had one of those moments this morning.

You know, those moments when you feel like you are actually accomplishing something. I had one today, actually I had two.

This morning I went to put on my size 8 work pants (I've been wearing them for awhile and I think NY & Co.'s 8 is more like a 10 but that's not the point) and I fully expected to have to squeeze myself into them. Why? Because I ate like a piglet this weekend. Well to my surprise, I was able to fit into them with ease, it doesn't seem like my body has changed much since this weekend. I was very happy to be able to wear them and not feel like there is a rubber band around my stomach all day. It's these moments that make me realize that this time, I'm actually doing something.

The other moment came when one of my friends at work told me that I am looking very slim, especially in my stomach area.  Now that, that really meant a lot, reason being is friend is about a size 4 and looks good in everything she wears.

I didn't start back on the shred yet, as I was not feeling well at all last night. My plan is to get back to it tonight and to let Jillian kick my ass all over the place.  I also am planning on starting my running training soon so that I can be ready for my race in November.

Anywho. Thanks for reading :) I will eventually post progress pictures, just not ready for that quite yet.

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
