Just a no good bad day.

Today is just one of those days I want to throw in the towel. I want to crawl under the covers with a bag of candy and just stay there.  Not.a.good.day. I am overly emotional and sensitive and just having that feeling that nothing is good enough. There isn't really a reason, just one of them days (Remember that song?)

We've all been here, we've all had these days. I've gotten through these days, gone home, gone to bed and woke up the next day in a much better mood. So why is it that you can't see past these days during them?  In the past, I would get fast food (Wendy's, number one with cheese, chicken nuggets and a large coke) eat every last bit of it and then have ice cream after (chocolate, obviously).

So far today, I've resisted the temptations. I walked past the chocolate cake in the cafe without even batting an eye lash. Same with the apple pie and pumpkin pie. I had a 100 calorie pack of chocolate covered pretzels and a 100 calorie bag of popcorn. I have 638 calories left for dinner.  I'm not planning on going overboard or having an entire bottle of wine (as tempting as that sounds). I'm going home and I'm going to do an intense work out that keeps my mind off of the things that had me stressed today. I'm going to punch and kick my way through the bad day and feel better about it. I'm going to feel successful when my work out is over and then I may treat myself to a glass of wine, my PJ's and tv.  

I also want to mention, I got a very inspirational text from a friend today. Thanks for that, it made me feel better on a day when I wasn't very inspired.

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
