Warning: Debbie Downer ahead

Well, I suppose it's about time I update this again. I really haven't been and of course I've been busy and life has gotten in the way, however, that wasn't the entire reason for me not updating. I've lost some of my focus, I let interruptions in my routine give me excuses and here we are again. Luckily, I haven't gained weight, but I feel like I have. I just feel..blah right now.

I've been blaming all of this on outside sources (to busy working/taking care of the baby/family stuff) when really, I've had that all along and it's not an excuse for me. I want to lose 10 pounds by November and if I continue the way I have been, there's no way I'll achieve that goal. It's all on me. I have spent some of today looking at pictures of me from last year and I just want to get back to that. It hurts because I feel like I am not the same person overweight as I am when I was thinner. I know, that sounds ridiculous, but when I have lost weight I have so much confidence, I'm way happier and most importantly I feel healthier! When I get out of bed in the morning my feet actually crack and hurt for about 5 minutes before I can walk normally. I don't know if that's something that happened during pregnancy or just from the weight that's on them.

So here I go again, this is such a roller coaster, this weight loss thing. I used to say it all the time but it's 100% true, it has to be a lifestyle change and I have to be 100% into it.

Well today I've minimized snacking and I've tried to move as much as possible. So here goes nothing.

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
