34 week Bumpdate/Baby shower fun!

First, the bumpdate:

HOW FAR ALONG: 34 Weeks/4 days! 6 weeks to go! 

MATERNITY CLOTHES: I want to hug whoever came up with yoga pants, seriously. They are the most comfortable things to wear. They don't restrict my belly (like regular pants do with the panel) and they just are so comfortable. I'm really getting to the point where not much fits at all, while it's so frustrating, I know that I only have a few more weeks to go. 

WEIGHT GAIN/LOSS:  I can't even go there right now. 

BEST THING THIS WEEK:  We had our baby shower on Saturday! It was absolutely lovely and our baby boy got so many great things. It was so heartwarming to see just how loved he is already. More on that below though! 

MOVEMENTS: I have one active/big baby in there! According to the drs he weighs about 6lbs 7 oz right now (granted, those ultrasound measurements are usually off so I try not to go by them). I can just feel how big he is from the way he is moving. A lot of times I will just see one side of my belly go way up and then down when he kicks or knees me in the side. I'm also noticing his hiccups a lot more! It's the funniest thing, though I feel bad as I'm sure they are annoying to him :) 

FOOD CRAVINGS/AVERSIONS: Ice water as well as Orange Juice are my two biggest cravings so far. Odd, but hey it's better than french fries?

WHAT I MISS: Being able to move freely, getting out of bed or turning over is a big deal right now. Same with bending over or doing anything other than just sitting up in a chair. 

SLEEP: Sleep is ok, I'm still exhausted and for some reason during the week I am up between 3:30-4 and I just lay there until the alarm goes off so I don't wake up my husband. By the end of the day I feel like a zombie but I'm pretty wide awake in the mornings. 

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO: Getting baby's room in order and of course his arrival! 

So that's the general update on how I've been feeling, I had a drs appt on Friday where she decided to test me again for GD (since baby is getting so big). I passed (Again) and it's just that I have a big baby. I'll be going to the Doctors weekly now and having NST (non-stress test) one week and then the week after having an ultrasound. The baby has been doing great so far, they just want to keep an eye on his size and the amniotic fluid. It's hard to believe I am at the point where I am having a doctors appointment every week, this pregnancy has gone by so fast, yet so slow. I keep hearing from everyone to enjoy the time we have now, before the baby is born and things really get hectic. Honestly though, I just can't wait to see him and hold him. 


We had our baby shower this past Saturday and it was fantastic! Our Moms were the hosts along with some help from my very, very good friends. It was at a restaurant and the food was delicious! A close friend of the family made the cake, which was absolutely adorable, along with candy with both my husband and I's name on it for favors and mints in a adorable baby blue bag. It was so nice to see our family and friends together like that, it meant a lot to us. The amount of gifts we got was just unbelievable to me, I think it took us about 2 hours or so to open everything. It would take forever for me to list the wonderful things we got. It was just a fabulous day and we were both so happy. 

Anywho! That's about all I have for today.

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
