Another week gone by

I can't believe the Summer is almost over, how did that happen so fast??

I love the fall and I know I've done posts about it before, so I won't go on and on about how much I love Pumpkin and the crisp air. :) I am excited for these last two weeks of August though, they are always my favorite weeks of the summer! My Anniversary is tomorrow! 3 Years! yay! Then my Birthday is next week  all great things!

I'm doing a challenge at work that has all these things you do to make yourself healthier and you earn points for it. I'm a bit nervous as one of the things would be to get rid of all the "great white hazards" which are things like white flour, white potatoes and rice. I LOVE potatoes and I can't really imagine going 3 months without them, but I'm going to give it a shot, same for rice.    So hopefully I can complete the challenge and win the points!

I signed up for a 5kawhile ago and definitely did not realize it was this Saturday. Whoops! So I'll be doing the HipHop 5k for Hip Dysplasia on Saturday, I somehow pulled a muscle in both my ankles so I'm a bit nervous but I will just do the best I can. I will finish though!  I've been doing a lot of HIIT workouts lately and it's been great! It's a quick workout that really leaves me in a sweat, it really reminds me of Jillian Michaels workouts which have always worked really well for me.

Making progress! I haven't weighed myself this week because I decided that I'm going to weigh every 2 weeks to see how I do and to hopefully not be so obsessed with the scale. So, I'll weigh again next week!

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
