31 Weeks..it's getting real!

So, I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow but I haven't done a 31 week update. I figured I might as well do one, I think doing these will be good to look back on when I've had the baby. Anywho, onto the update! 
  • How far along are you? 31 Weeks 6 days, almost 32! 
  • How I'm feeling: Overall pretty sore and tired. I wake up in the morning and everything hurts, then as the day goes on I start to swell and my back gets even more sore and by the end of the day it's hard to even climb the stairs to go to bed.  
  • Total weight gain: A lot. 
  • Cool baby facts: All of baby's bones are hardening and all five of his senses are now working. His body temperature is starting to be regulated by his brain as well. 
  • How big is baby? The size of a pineapple. A PINEAPPLE. I picked a pineapple up when grocery shopping and almost died. Those things are freaking big. I'll find out approx how much he weighs at my drs appt tomorrow, I'm thinking from his last measurements he'll weigh about 5lbs or so. 
  • Sleep: Sleep is pretty intermittent, between the crazy dreams/leg cramps and baby moving it's been kind of rough.  I honestly don't mind being woken up by him though. 
  • Maternity Clothes: It's been getting tougher to find things to wear to work and at home I'm pretty much living in yoga pants. Things are just getting a lot tighter and nothing really fits "right". I don't want to get anymore maternity clothes because I'm so close to the end. 
  • Best moment this week:  Nothing major this week, I'll have my appt tomorrow and I'm excited to get to see his little face again. 
  • Movement: I love feeling him moving around. My favorite part is when I feel him stretch out, I'll feel his legs on one side and his arms on the other. It really is the coolest feeling ever, it makes it easier to deal with the times when he sticks his foot under my ribs or headbutts my pelvis. 
  • Food cravings: None really
  • Food aversions: None.
  • Belly button in or out: Innie still
  • What I miss: Running and clothes that fit. 
  • What I'm looking forward to: Adding more to the nursery and getting it in order. I'll start washing the clothes we've got for him and his toys soon. 
  • Randoms:  I am just feeling not so pretty right now, I am swollen all over and I feel HUGE. It's been hard knowing I have 2 months left to just get bigger and more swollen. It's all so worth it though, it'll be so amazing to get to hold him and see what he really looks like.

    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
