My favorite jeans...are to big!

Ah, these jeans. I love them. I bought them in mid August and they have been my only pair of jeans for the past few months that fit comfortably. They have that perfect feel to them, they are skinny jeans but they don't feel like saran wrap on your legs. Now, they don't fit, they are to big and I am constantly pulling them up. They don't look like skinny jeans anymore. This makes me sad and happy, sad because I am losing my FAVORITE jeans and happy for obvious reasons. Granted, I'll still wear them.... till they are literally falling off.  Then it's time for new favorite jeans!

I have had a bad week, I think that is obvious in my posts. I felt like I wasn't losing anything and well, I really didn't. 0.2 pounds. I'm thinking I need to change my diet around a bit and either take certain things out or add certain things. Maybe a bit of both.  I feel like I'm hitting that weight loss wall that we all hit sometimes. I know I need to stop eating these ready made microwavable meals. They don't have much nutritional value and I'm usually hungry an hour after eating them, but they are SO easy. Salads scare me. I feel like when I have a salad, I am putting on to many "fixins". So what do I eat for lunch? Sandwiches are really all that's left, that is easy and quick. I can measure my cold cuts and use hummus or a low calorie mustard instead of mayo.  Plus I can eat low carb bread, which is really not much at all. Hm something to think about.

I've taken a break from Jillian, her and I are in a fight. I just don't feel as invested in her workouts right now. So I did an on demand work out and yup I'm sore today. Not as sore as I thought I would be though, but sore enough to feel something. I think I want to try kickboxing tonight, they say that burns the most calories and tones muscles. My favorite part of the day is after my work out when I can't breathe and I'm covered in sweat. Those are the times when I feel like I've accomplished something.

    Keep at it lady, I'll join you in a kickbox class sometime!

    Sometimes for lunch I'll do greek yogurt (plain for the lowest sugar content) and all natural granola/fruit...fills me up and is delish!

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
