Getting off track?

Hello Readers!

I haven't posted in awhile, life has just been quite busy for me. My Husband and I just purchased our first home! Woohoo! We have been doing work on it ever since we closed (last Friday),  this has included painting, ripping up rugs, cleaning etc. It has been quite exhausting and challenging for me to stay with my program and within my calories. I haven't been logging my food as religiously as usual, I actually forgot to log in for the entire day on Friday! No! My streak is ended! I was very disappointed in myself that I let that happen. I also ate tons of pizza and greasy food this past weekend and I haven't really been monitoring what I've been eating to closely the past few days. It's been disheartening, but I'm not going to let it continue. I am forcing myself to get back on track, even if my life is crazy.  The key to all of this is to be able to stay within my calorie amounts, even if situations change in my life. Last week was a real test for me and I failed, miserably.  I started to get back in my old mindset of "well since I was so bad last week and the beginning of this week, I might as well just start back up next week" then I stopped myself. I looked at my old pictures of when I was overweight and just gave myself a reality check "this is how it happened before". I have come way to far to go back to that girl that was 170 pounds. 

Starting now, I am back on track. I am not going to let what happened last week throw me for a complete loop. I will get back to logging every single thing I eat and or drink. I can't say I will be exercising but, I figure working on the house counts as exercise, right? ;) One step at a time, folks.

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
